- This house was built in 1856 for a local family that had a large orchard and dairy farm. I Couldn’t find much else on it sadly but it was an incredible house. The front porch was absolutely awesome along with the piano from the late 1800s! It definitely has had many additions like the garage in back but it would’ve been a very nice place back in its day. Could definitely still be saved with a restoration but it seems unlikely and more plausible that this place will just be torn down for a new housing developments.

Thanks for watching everyone. Hope you enjoy it! Make sure to like, sub and hit the notifications bell if you haven't already so you know when my next videos out, Thanks!!!(:
Its vlogs like this that have started me decluttering my place. My kids already know what they want when I go toes up. I think sometimes families (if any) become overwhelmed with the clean out process....maybe some else may have an opinion on this. Your so much more respectful than other explorers I have watched. Tyvm for posting
Strange how the floor around the piano was reasonably clear compared to the rest of the room.Never seen a beautiful piano like that before.Awesome find Kappy
You should contact a local historical group. They might be able to get the piano and some of the other rare antiques out and restored. Maybe then our children or grandchildren will get a chance to see such beautiful examples of the past.
You're so right.
I just found an exact piano like this on Etsy for $12,000!
Definitely an elderly person was living there. The first floor bathroom was set up for elderly. Had a shower seat for someone to sit on while bathing. The first bedroom had a pottie chair. So very sad. Like so many have said, we collect stuff through our lives and this is what happens. Seeing these videos has brought me to the realization that I need to start donating or getting rid of things now. Thanks for another great find!! Be safe.
Michelle Crippen 👍🙏
Me too, wish I'd started earlier, in my mid suxties now and fatigue easily. 😬
The piano was spectacular. Wish it could be saved. Those doorknobs were awesome too. What a great find🐱
Square grand piano, from the length of the keyboard is probably 1850's/60's. They stopped producing pianos like this by the early 1900's as the upright because more popular in the home. Might be a original piece to the house since the house is just as old. It is amazing what people will leave behind. They go for a lot of money even in un restored condition. Here is a link for more info about these pianos. (piano tuner/tech here)

actually the piano is original being it was made circa 1889. You can google Vose and Sons and they have a rare old catalog photo and this piano is the pictured there. It is probably worth upwards of $40,000.00 if not more. Just mind boggling to me the beauty and history just left to rot. Truly heartbreaking.
I'm catching up to some older vids and this one, oh my!! I was silently wishing that it was for sale! Just beautiful and I appreciate that you love the beauty of the old builds and share them with us, thank you Kappy!
What a sad old house. It 's really a shame to leave that piano to rot. And those doorknobs are so cool.
INCREDIBLE FIND!!! It has been trashed. :( All the little things we collect through our lives only to be left behind.
Thank you so much for exploring this incredible house. The green jars at the beginning are Depression Era containers. They are labeled with sugar or coffee and when cleaning better not to rub over any painted surface. Yes I suppose the family took what it wanted and quickly looked for money and left. So sad so much valuable items are left behind.
Or maybe there were no family, not that could get there anyway.
Oh gosh, this breaks my heart. So incredibly sad. Thanks so much for your dedication and for sharing and taking the time to explore these amazing places. 😊
So sad
I love your hard work and dedication in making these videos
Thank you
Dorothy Machado I really appreciate that thanks!
He really works hard & finds some amazing locations & artifacts. Kappy never disappoints 😊

This house is saveable if someone had time and the resources. Love the historic homes. A lot of charm and charchtor. Looks like someone may have been looking for copper. Hence the big holes in the plaster.
Interesting house and that piano is epic. Great video as always!
Yet another amazing explore! Don't know how you find these hidden gems but I'm so glad you do. In love with the piano with claw feet & the front porch with the beautiful columns . :)
Awesome discovery, a lovely piano. Lots of old stuff all over the floor
Ack! Your tours are too addictive! I've been watching them for five hours! I love it. Maybe, just a few more....
That is a really clear sounding voice at 4:50.
Yes!!! I had to replay several times to be sure thats what I was hearing!!
Very valuable piano. Interesting home.
There are some really beautiful items in here!
Thank you again. I can never comprehend how these beautiful homes are just left to decay. What a beautiful piano. It makes you really wonder what our value is to family. These homes can't com p are to these modern homes. Seems like the younger generation doesn't value these things. These possessions could have been donated to a charity. Very sad to see. I li k e that you take the time with the camera to let us see things without making us dizzy. I am retired and don't know if my carrier charges extra for subscribing . I really enjoy your videos. Love the hardware on the doors and the beautiful woodwork. No comparison to today's so called modern homes.
Subscribing is free! If you enjoy my videos feel free to, it cost nothing! Thank you very much for watching!
another old lady passed away Kappy. it's part of life but still sad. another great find Kappy.
Well Kapp, we did it again. I sat down to watch one of your newer videos, than saw an older one I hadn't seen before, only gonna watch that one, then, saw another... Long story short - the kitchen is still dirty, floor un-swept, dishes in the sink, and I've been binge-watching old and newer Urban Exploring videos with Kappy for about 3 hours now! Ya know Kapp, if I keep binging on your videos like this, you'll be investigating my old cluttered house in about 10 years! I so appreciate going on your explores with you! If I were 30-40 years younger, I'd be right there exploring too! LOVE watching your videos!
The nicest piano I have ever seen thank you
That piano is an exceptional find. Unusual. Thankyou for showing us.
Sadly happening here in Howard County- sad. Farmers are offered an incredibly generous amount for their property & bam here comes the condos & townhouses. The poor deer among other wildlife are losing more & more. Anyway this was an amazing find~ true gem with lots of cool stuff~ thank you as always Kappy!~ Lisa
Great fined. Thanks Kappy. House has been somewhat preserved due to the metal roof. They last so much longer than a shingle roof.
Mike Croaro Absolutely true about the metal roof thanks for watching!
Agree, the metal roof is a house lifesaver! A new owner should park an RV out front, rent a dumpster, rake up all that trash on the floors and start rehabing the old girl! Electrical should be completely replaced for safety's sake, plumbing, too for the same reason. Then the fun begins and I'd aim for authenticity as much as possible! Keep the piano!
👍 Another great find Kappy!... Beautiful Pre-Civil War house that's been reasonably preserved thanks to the metal roof, and no vandal graffiti although scattered trashed furniture and fewer broken windows!... 😀
Sounds like a quiet woman's voice at about 4:48 after you mention the clock in the kitchen.
Is he alone? I heard a woman out front agreeing with his narrative. If he's alone that's a trip.
Yes! I heard it too!
WooooW..great video!
Another excellent find Kappy! Thank you for taking us there.
It would have been beautiful back in the day! Wouldn’t it have been nice to sit on that porch in a summer rain storm! Thank you again for a good explore!
I don’t understand why you edit these videos. Kind of leaves me confused. But that is just my opinion loved the video. Thanks
I did some research and there are similar pianos selling from seven grand on eBay to 45 grand in specialty antique stores. These were apparently really good pianos, high quality, dependable, very desirable. The hand painting on it makes it more valuable. It's a shame somebody could be contacted so that the heir(s) could be located and the piano saved before vandals find the house. If you did, Kappy, you can get they will, too.
You were right, Kappy, this is a very sad house and its story can easily be read. The husband grew ill and his wife took care of him, sleeping in the room adjoining his. A much younger male relative (perhaps their grandson) lived there as well, presumably to help her care for the gentleman.
Eventually, he passed away and the lady herself fell ill an, unable to walk, was moved downstairs. More than likely, the younger man remained in the house to care for her. After her death, he ransacked the house, looking for anything valuable. His not destroying things but just tossing them aside indicates that he had an emotional connection to the older couple and their belongings. His leaving their clothes carefully hanging in the closets showed his love and respect for them. Vandals would have done more destruction to everything, just because they could.
This young man clearly held deep feelings for that square grand piano. That would explain its being left unharmed, sitting like an island in the sea of trash and unwanted belongings.
Likewise, he held the couple's diplomas in reverence. The one hanging on the wall over the piano may be from a school of music, while the ornate one upstairs is more than likely from a college or university. This couple were highly educated and very special to the young man, as evidenced by his caring for them in their final days.
I believe that the most poignant piece in the house is that magnificent piano. Though its music is no longer heard, it was clearly loved and it held much sentimental worth for the survivor of this loving couple. Obviously, he was unable to move the piano and may have not wanted to sell it at that time. Perhaps he is no longer living, or it would seem that he would have sold it by now.
It is a sad surmise and a sad ending to two loving lives. We can only hope the young man survives and will one day sell or recover that piano and sell the house so that it may know joy once more.
Oh, on a brighter note, Kappy, now we know what all those rusted doorknobs and door plates should look like! They should be brightly shining brass finished and beautifully designed. No wonder you love them so!
That piano is called a square grand. My aunt had one exactly like that. Vose was popular name for the square grand pianos in the 20s and before.
It is a beautiful house I don't understand why people abandon their homes like that it just saddens me. Thank you for sharing
Was your mom exploring with you? If not, someone at about 4:45 was speaking...
I was wondering! I heard the voice too!
What a peaceful place - I'd luv it if the piano came with it!!! Such a rare treasure. Your comment about relatives coming through and taking the valuables they wanted makes sense, but I really hope it was vandals that trashed it and not them. Shame on whoever - no respect. Would've loved to see what the framed certificate at 9:49 in the last room downstairs was. You should grab a stick before you go in places to clear cobwebs! Thank you for taking me on the tour. stay safe.
Square baby grand w cabriole legs. Neat house.
Plants!! You never see house plants in any explore video-ever!
What was the framed document hanging above the piano?
You do sometimes but they are usually dead & so not so noticable.
Definitely Deep South living. I have only seen houses on stilt-like brick columns out in the swampy parts of this country.
Shame on whoever trashed this home,back in it's better days I feel it was filled with love,beautiful home sad to see it in this condition
Hey Kappy , yeah , looks like a deceased estate , very sad to see all the peoples stuff left behind , very cool house , very cool explore.
What a cool old house... some one save it!
Another amazing find!
Awesome tour. The piano was so ornate. The hardware on the doors was sweet. All those bedrooms...one bathroom. That sucks!!! Thanks kap
Two bathrooms: one downstairs, one upstairs. Actually, that's one more than a lot of places had/have. One of my nephews lived in a place with only one--and it was upstairs. Very inconvenient, except at night, when everybody's in the bedrooms. This place looks like it would've been quite cheerful in its happier days and could be again if someone cared enough and was willing (and able!) to invest some bucks in bringing it back to life. Kappy's really good at finding interesting places, isn't he?!
@@oldenweery7510 yes kappy is so cool. I have an older home , updated , but still one bathroom,,,,,,but I do have an out house!
@@dianegreen6635 ~ How cool is that-?? Awesome 🙂
A lot of my distant relatives in northern Wisconsin had them---and quite a few of them also had a pump standing on the platform atop their wells, even after installing indoor plumbing. Come to think of it, the latter would've been handy at Mom and Dad's retirement cottage when the power went out!
What a great find. Oh I would so love to get that place and restore it and everything in it back to it's original glory, especially that piano. Absolutely love that piano. Can just imagine how my Starlight Waltz, The Beautiful Blue Danube and Liebestraume to name a few, would sound on it. Thank you so much for sharing this Kappy!
That very old Ladder Back Chair on the front porch looks like it would have had a seat woven out of rushes. Someone who had learnt a few skills could restore that. Those old chairs are popular now as they have character
See a certificate on the wall. In front of piano. Wonder if there was a music teacher living there.
Looks like an old ladder back possibly canned seat. Awesome
Once this was someone's cherished home. The original part of this hose still has a good deal of salvageable wood work and flooring. The piano was awesome but people don't want them now. If the owners had cleared that house out and given stuff to Goodwill, someone could have benefited from their donation and they could have gotten a tax deduction. Then, with a cleared house, if it couldn't be sold the owners could have made money from salvage. Those faceplates on the doorknobs were beautiful and valuable.
Very sad to think of all the Holidays and families that, that house raised....Very heavy, sad depressing vibe, That's for sure....Thank you for sharing with us....
Probably scavengers make the place a mess. Very nice vintage grand piano!
That basement probably has snakes!
What a fantastic find!! Seems that older people lived there because all the clothes seemed to belong to elderly. The only thing that seemed out of place was the new lock on the door! Very fine piano, nice job of finding this place thanx
Gerald Larocque Thank you very much!! (:
Yes, the piano was lovely!
I have a thing about old canning jars. Would love to have gotten a better look at them.
I loved those old wooden storage cabinets in the kitchen how awesome and the one on the "garage" that she would have kept her canned goods in. I always love to see canning jars in these old houses tells you a lot about the woman that lived there. Anna In Ohio
That lattice work on the front porch is pretty, but too many critters always are able to find their way in, especially skunks and raccoons. This house looks familiar; maybe someone else had a.video of it? The kitchen isn’t in too bad of shape. I hate bathrooms right off the kitchen. Nothing as appetizing as eating a meal while someone takes a dump three feet from you. That is a beautiful piano, and that room is also in pretty good shape. Upstairs isn’t in such bad shape either. I think this house is fixable. I am not fond of bedrooms that can only be accessed by going through someone else’s bedroom. All of the old wooden doors look pretty good. What, no turkey buzzards in the attic? I love the songs of the birds when you are outside. This is a great location and a beauty of a house. Thank you for the tour!
What a magnificent house this was in its time. Seeing all the stuff everywhere is completely heartbreaking. I wish I knew the story behind all of that.
Love the original wood doors
what is that large document at 9:47? can't believe it was just skipped. wish i could blow this frame up and see it. beautiful house
I purposely don’t show it because it would reveal the location, i didn’t skip it but I can’t show it, that’s exactly how these places get destroyed
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Maybe it would just be possible to briefly say something about what documents are without mentioning details?
Such a grand place. It is very salvageable! The piano was beautiful. Did you notice the floor around it was cleared? Love the door knobs and plates. Very cool.
At 4:49 you hear a woman's voice and then an orb. I think two more orbs at 5:00 n 11:16 but not totally sure. Great find Kappy! They threw stuff about but no Graffiti! Loved it and thanks for taking me along.
That piano is very ornate, cool find! Sounds like there was someone with you, heard a voice when you were in the kitchen.
I wish you could get more closeups on certain items. If you wear gloves, pick up a few things.
I’m afraid l lose interest in these once beautiful old homes once they’ve been trashed and you can’t see the architecture for the junk. I appreciate your efforts Kappy in spite of the trashing.
What a splendid house it was!
Kappy how strange that piano is still there
A Vose and Son quite rare
the company change its name from Vose.
mid 1800s
today that piano is small key board
but never the less is a gem
fully restored would be worth 34.000 dollars
on the open market
again the occupants of this wonderful house
were wealthy land owners
Kappy this is a remarkable video thankyou
for all the hard work you put into
producing ..............Ed
Wow that was amazing. Shame you couldn't save the piano.
There was a flash of light at 1:13 - interesting. Sad to see this lost.
Love to see these old farm houses, this one looks like the owner passed away and every thing was left as it was. Great job here Kappy.
Wow the voice at 4:49 is so clear! Almost sounded like they had a accent
Holy shit! I thought I was hearing things. It sounded like a lady with a Scottish or Irish accent! It was as clear as day.
Omg I heard that too very haunting 👀
I heard it too! I thought I was going crazy
In another one of Kappy's videos he mentioned that his Mother was exploring with him and that's probably the voice you're hearing, so no ghosts. Sorry to disappoint you.
I too saw an orb ! That was the most beautiful piano I have seen in any explore ! Thanks kappy
$35,000. I found a restored one online for that going price.
Great video i saw a orb and then a female voice, beautiful place so sad 😔 it's been trashed, piano is beautiful 👍
Someone needs to go save that piano!! Omg!
Thanks Kappy for sharing with me this video about the CRAZY ABANDONED HOUSE* Filled W/ Owners Stuff & incredible ANTIQUE Piano . it was a wired looking house it looked like it had a business office in side that house but it was kind of creepy but I really enjoyed this video. and Kappy my new video is on my you tube channel so I hope you will check it out and God Bless you my friend and thanks again.
The piano is an 1850s vose square grand piano. I found one just like it that is in mint for 10 thousand dollars. Idk about the shape of that one. Maybe 3 to 5 grand
Beautiful piano
From past experience, pianos are something no one wants to move. They are so heavy! I couldn’t find anyone to take my donation of a piano back in ‘99 (churches, girls/boys clubs, etc). So I can see a piano from the original owner being passed along to each person who bought/rented the home. It maybe quite old!
You should find out who owns this property because if you could purchase that piano and restore it, you not only have a collector item, it would also be worth alot of money
That must have been a little palace in it's day and the ornate piano is beautiful
Thanks for sharing
Kappy I always love your videos because you pan slowly and cover a lot. Thanks Keep up the great job.
Awesome video
The storage tubs in the attic look relatively new.
You missed 2 really old framed documents!! Can't believe you didn't zoom in on them!
I couldn’t show them because it would’ve given the location and final owners names sorry but cant
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773, thought you might be able to edit out that info....would love to know the date. Great video.
Sorry about that :/ i wish I could afford better editing software, thank you very much for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773, keep it up! Subscribed to your channel!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 You could take a big old fashioned gents handkerchief in your pocket with a bit of sticky tape so you could easily mask off confidential details.
What a beautiful find!
Sees like most every house has a pair of crutches... Lol.
A very niuce old place, too bad they always make a mess of those places, nice explore Kappy.
Judging by the cook books obviously a woman was living there. She probably passed awsy first and the husband remained.
Square grand piano, about 1850. We have one at our museum.Vose and Sons...
Amo esses vídeos 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Silvana Meirelles yo también 😄😄
What a beauty n in its time it was a beauty. Great find! Loved those old 5 panel doors solid wood n the brass knobs clean up n be as good as new. So surprised no one went in stole them. Can’t find cool doors like that
much anymore. Really a shame people or kids come into abandoned houses n trash them. They have nothing better to do to entertain them selves. Yup this was a good one. ♥️
And why there are boxes every where it's seems like some one was packing and sudden something happened
This is truly sad the family couldn’t take this stuff with them.
Be very careful going in these places by yourself too.
Somebody probably plays the piano it looks like its in good condition.
a sweet old house, still can be fixed up. a beautiful piano.
neat houses ty
I really want this house!
Kappy just watched this video. I wish you would have focused in in the frame above the piano and the one in a book shelf in a hallway. I wondered if they were degrees or some such. It would give use a glance into what kind of people lived there. The certificates in the frames looked very old.
That one plant in the kitchen wondow still looked alive
Mr. Voss established his business in 1859 but it did not become Voss and sons till 1889. The company ended assumed by another due to the Great Depression in 1929.
It's a shame all those antiques simply left behind to rot. The hardware alone! Thick old doors. That piano was easily the most ornate one I've ever seen! Leave so much sadness in it's wake......
The interior doors are so perfect! Those should be saved and reused. Made from solid wood.
That piano is called a square grand. My aunt had one exactly like it.
