Am I the only one that wants to pick up the furniture and clean the place up? I would love to put that place back in order and show the old place some respect it deserves. Coolest place ever!
hi look into how owns it you may be looky and could go in for reclame home lookinto it hun i would if it was me only i do not live in the usa if i did i would
You know for some of us the 80s weren't that long ago. I was raising my children so seeing some of that stuff brings back memories. When born in 52, the 80s seems like yesterday.
I don’t think that’s a sad fact. As long as you live a life that you felt fulfilled then you’ll be ready to move on to the next stage, whatever that is.
*That was an M.D.'s office, probably a home/office - this is, or was, very common for "country doctors". I got my degree in 81, and I have all of the books you found there - most notably, the Medical Clinics in North America series. I had the same copier you saw in the early entryway, it was manufactured in the late 60s or early 70s. The couches on the front porch date to the late 60s and early 70s, and were popularized by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The two "Hoover" vaccuum cleaners were from the 1960s and 1970s respectively* *My guess as to the age of the place: I would guess, based on the design & style (the frame was bricked, and the inside used lathing - lathing was replaced by sheetrock around 1950), is the house was built around the turn of the 20th century, and was probably used up through the early 1990s.* *The "mystery equipment" you found in the basement consisted of an old Coal fired furnace (most coal deliveries for these stopped by 1960), and an early central air conditioning hub. While you didn't examine it, Bekah managed to sweep past the electrical panel. That panel used circular glass fuses, and was obsolete (and replaced by breaker systems in most structures in the USA) by 1965. *By the way, the old scrip pad **_cannot_** be used: assuming the 'doc is dead or retired, the NPI number on the pad (his/her prescribing registration number) will be revoked.*
@@ExploringwithRickBekah herein lies the problem...if you guys want to do this, gonsit down with books and learn about furniture styled, hardware, wood, etc. You are guessing st things. It would be refreshing to gave someone walk up to a place and say, hey here's an old house that's federal style, ir Greek revival, or whatever. Study furniture styles, dude, STUDY THUS STUFF or shoot it to be before you post it and I'll tell you what it is, then post it
Very interesting. Things I noticed: A book published in 1946 "A Dark Wood"; syringes that are packaged in a way that were not available too much prior to 1980 (I'm ex o.r. person); wiring in the basement is 1930's to 60's; Boiler is very old...probably late 30's early 40's. I'm wondering about his practice there. It was common in the 60's, and prior, for docs to work out of their homes, and also did house calls. You're probably too young to have experienced that. And these docs were generalists that had to practice in many specialties. I'm betting he was 65+ when he either passed away or had to leave the practice/home. Remember that family picture? Looks like it is from '79, 80, '81. That fellow was about 40, 44 yrs old and it looks that his oldest daughter may have been 20. So, he is too young to be the doc that had the letter to him in the 60's. My guess is he is the son of the doc, or the woman is the daughter of the doc. Why do I think so? If the place was abandoned in '86 ish, why would a 46 to 50 yr old doc, in his prime, leave behind all of that business stuff? He wouldn't. Do you two ever do research on the places you visit? That would be interesting to know who owned the place at the time. Great adventure. You two be careful out there.
Whenever I see these videos...I always wonder what the back story is. Why was it abandoned....why would people just leave their stuff behind...all those pictures, they obviously had family. Just so sad to see such beauty and history in ruins. ...and all the family history , just gone. Very sad
So often if wills aren't left & family fights among siblings, 2nd wives & her family, etc., it can get tied up in court for years. I've also seen property given to people who lived out of state & never came back to the area. It just sat.......and rotted. 😢
Bekah I really enjoy your filming technique steady, slow, wide sweeps and you look at interesting items with a positive twist which is so refreshing now-a--days.Thanks for sharing
I think Rik is acting the same, this is a beautiful old home, i don't think anyone could use the script pads from a doctor 30 years ago Rik... Bekah you said it best when you said "you just don't get it" how someone can destroy a home like that, let me tell you though as a 62 year old Woman it's wonderful to see some Millenniums who have respect for life and things! Blessings
Cherie Grant Johnson AGREED! A lot of them don't care about anything that belongs to their parents or grandparents.. MINE included....but one day it will all be gone or scarce and they will be sorry they didn't keep some of it. And then the new thing will be for the future generations scouring "antique shops" Looking for the 1980-2000's! HAHAHA! Funny to think of...
Cherie Grant Johnson I know how you guys feel. I don't get how people feel they can just go in and destroy things! I love this old mansion. Do you guys ever ask the neoghbors about an old house?
I love you guys!!! I am disabled and I have never been out of Vermont, you kind of have me as a third person. I try and live through your videos and imagine im there. 1966 here and I too like 1980 and long movies you make thank you very much.
i think its funny how astonished they are to see the pictures from the 80s.... its the 1980s not 1880s, only 30 years ago, could show you a whole box of pictures from the 80s. its called my teen years.
I was expecting antiques in a place that old. 1970's & 1980's seems almost like yesterday to me. I was hoping to see some 1880's stuff. The old house is awesome though.
So happy that you've captured some photography of the beautiful kittens. Love where one is popping his head from the porch floor while the sibling is looking on. I may do an oil painting of that. Much success to you both.
OMGOSH!!! The 80’s!!!! You make me feel ancient lol. I’d love to go with you two on one explore to explain some of these old things!! No disrespect, just sayin the 80’s weren’t really that long ago. You make it seem like 100’s of years ago. The doll that didn’t make it looked like a Holly Hobby doll. I could be wrong because I was a teenager in the 80’s so I guess my OLD brain is failing me lol. Good video though. At least you respect the properties you explore. Thanks for taking us back with you 🙂
Also, did you ever follow up with public records to find who owned the property? I would have done some investigating to see if I could find out what happened to the people who lived there.
It's strange that some of us want to know what happened to these people while others are quite content to just watched a video. But seeing all their possessions . You have to ask the question? What could make them make them just walk away from their lives ? And why couldn't they be bothered to try and find out? Cause in another video of their's but much more unsettling then this one . I ask them if they could look into what happened since they had everything that with a bit of effort we'd probably have a answer to that question now but have never heard back . Such a shame that these families are going to fade into history without even some one trying to make an effort and put some closure to their story . Maybe some one else might come along and fill in what we'd all like to know.
This property had loads of paperwork and names, if we were told the name we could have researched the family ourselves. It leaves us questions as to what happened to them. Nice to have followups on any houses you have researched
18:02 How sad is that, family photos - memories with crap over them. I would love to know the stories behind all these abandoned properties on CZcams. Nobody has ever done it though.
I'm so glad that you guys came across this beautiful Mansion. When I look at it, I think of the Ppl living there. If only the walls can talk. Ty for taking your time checking it out. This is by far yet my favorite video.
Reading other peoples’ comments is nearly as enjoyable as the awesome videos. Love to hear others’ takes on these places. Definitely a late 1800s home. The couches on the front porch were midcentury modern, late 50s-early 60s. Most of the furniture inside looked very 70s, especially the orange and green floral couches. Those magazines and dolls were 80s relics. On the top floor was a really cool Singer sewing machine stand, minus the sewing machine from around 1900 id guess. These videos are so riveting!
Bekah, love your filming techniques, slow and steady and you zoom in to things of interest. I have watched a lot of abandoned houses videos and so far you are the best at filming. Good job, keep up the good work! 🙏🙏🙏 thank you .
Most of that furniture is 60s - 70s. But that photo, that really did look 80s! I wonder why all that stuff is still there, and what happened. It is weird, and sad.
InTheirImage7 I was thinking the same thing!! I live in a huge Farmhouse on 26 acres that was built in 1920 and I've really spruced this home up. I love it!! There is also a little log cabin beside of me that was built in 1849 and it's in amazing condition. I have no neighbors and that's the part that I think I love most! Lol These old houses amaze me and I wish that people wouldn't vandalize them! It's really sad.
My guess is that the people in the pictures were not the doctor, but his kids and grandchildren. Eventually he got old and passed on. Far too often, the heirs are living far away and can't deal with the house easily, or don't want to due to how much stuff there was and how overwhelming it is to go through. So they take what they want and leave the rest behind. If property taxes aren't paid, eventually the county will seize the home and land, and it becomes property of the local government. If it's in rough shape like this one, it can be really hard to get rid of it at auction, because fixing the home up would be a major investment for a new buyer.
Amazing video of a huge mansion! I can just imagine how beautiful that place was back in the day, with all of those fireplaces and so many rooms. Excellent camera work Bekah, and nice to hear you talk a little more. You guys are the best!!!
Amazing at all the stuff that was in there, big huge place. Can you imagine what that place used to look like with those big columns inside and out and those porches and two way stairs and all the fireplaces!! And good for you making a long video anymore videos are becoming too short. Great job you two!!.......
Pamela Gideon-Agreed. It must've been absolutely Magnificent in it's prime!!! I don't comprehend how it could've been abandoned and not sold!!? Too bad they didn't later research it's history and do an update. I wonder if the family just moved on or if something truly tragic occurred and that's why it was left with all it's possessions?? It should've been auctioned off. It's truly a shame the home wasn't sold for another family to enjoy. It pains me to see such a beautiful home fall to shambles!!!...
Beautiful old home and great work you two! Please be careful,though!! Snakes and ticks and spiders... ewww!!! Not to mention catching a trespass charge if you get caught! Thanks for risking all of that (plus black mold,asbestos, etc)to bring us these great videos!!!
I absolutely love the way you respect the property, the way you photo and film and the way you both communicate with each other. It's really good that you are filming this for historical reasons. Thank you for documenting these places. Many of us will never be able to visit.
OHH! You totally missed several pristine magazines on the table with their MAILING LABELS intact! That was a prime opportunity to find out who lived/worked there!
The microphone you found in the room, was attached to the General Electric "Progress Line" model radio laying on the floor. There was also a couple of antennas laying around there also I saw. I have serviced those radios over the years, which is why it caught my eye. I love your videos! Obviously was into medical and used the two-way radios for his practice. Probably ran it out of his home. On the basement ceiling I noticed the old style "Knob and Tube" power wires. That was done in the very early days of electric in homes. Before the modern cables like romex we see in homes today. Knob and Tube is attached to ceramic "Knobs" and goes through walls in "Tubes" to protect the wires. Otherwise, touching them in a basement when the power was on could prove deadly to people. There were no markings on them to show which was one was the hot one, Live one, or the return one. The heat in the basement was fuel oil fired steam heat, based on the type of radiators in the home. VERY nice explore! You two are great!
I would suggest that you get an extra battery for your camera. Than you won't worry so much about running out of battery. Also a good flash light. When taking photos, things to shoot, the old fire places, door knobs, window that are different shapes, stair wells. the columns inside and out side of the house. The kittens on the porch where one was peeking out of the porch would have been an adorable shot. Good luck on your next exploration.
The green dishes in the box in the closet upstairs came in Duz Laundry Detergent in the 1950's. My mom had the whole set. In fact, everybody we knew had those dishes.
Sue Nuckles yah, I’m 70 yrs old and my Mom used to collect dishes from laundry detergent box. And myself? I use to collect nice drinking glasses from Gas ⛽️ stations will a fill up or so.
The rag doll with the blue bonnet was Hollie Hobby and the doll head without a body was a Cabbage Patch Kid. Both very popular in the early 80's. Almost every little girl wanted a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas and stores ran out. Since I couldn't get one at a store I bought one from a gal that made them. Looked cute,but wasn't the " real McCoy " so my little girl was disappointed. She had Holly and later she also had a Cabbage Patch Kid with its adoption papers, ect. All ended ok!🙂
Holly Hobby was my favorite doll when I was a kid! Raggedy Ann was as well! I collect dolls and I think I'm going to try to find those dolls. That was an amazing home! Wish I could clean it up!!
You guys know how to explore..thank you guys for going slow and steady without rushing and done in 10 minutes max. Next time take some extra batteries and a flashlight (torch)...so you dont have to worry about dark rooms. Thank you so much for taking such care to document and doing a great explanation. Girl!!! stop touching stuff without gloves. We don't want you to be sick. Take care guys..(hugs). Im a new sub. I subbed you guys because you do a proper explores. Real pros. Well done!!
I can totally imagine what this place looked like in its heyday. It still feels warm and welcoming and alive ❤ I've yet to see on any of these sites a comment which says, "that used to be our house" or, "my family lived there". You guys are such a sweet couple. Cobwebs and Lightbulbs. Great book title or name for a band 😊 Never felt this b4 but seeing the old phots makes me think of some of my young friends, who are in their second year at uni. They are stressing and working so hard and in no time it will all be over.
You guys do an amazing job capturing the feel and the spirit of the home. Mike sounds enthusiastic and Becka awestruck - makes for a great combo. Well done!
That porch is beautiful! I love the architecture. It's so classic Victorian. That stereo and TV console was very popular in the 70s and 80s. I would imagine this was such a beautiful home. Some of these items could be antiques. Looks like looters and vandals have been through the house. I really enjoyed this video. This house is amazing. I love your enthusiasm. It would be very interesting to know the story of this house. Well done, guys!!
Hi Guys, This home was probably built between 1860-1870. Due to the fact that there are fireplaces in every room & back then that was the main source of heat... Radiators happened a bit later after 1880... & I see most of the fireplace mantles were of Marble & some our of wood which indicates this home was built for a very prominent person back in the day... I see there are some of those radiators on the porch etc.. which I'm thinking that perhaps there were scrappers in the area....& they were trying to move it for salvage... or when the Dr's practice closed perhaps someone was intending to rehab and had financial issues & were unable to complete the work... The Dolls you found were the Cabbage Patch and Holly Hobble which was from the early 80's.} Perhaps the Dr who lived & worked in this home passed away & the family moved without being able to sell this home & then again maybe the realitives /family of this Dr did not want to own such a large home..which requires a lot of upkeep & maintenance...Heartbreaking beyond sad that vandals destroyed the inside with graffiti as well as damaging the interior & turning the contents upside down.... I live in a Queen Anne Victorian which was built in 1891... I do know alot about them...Is it possible you could at least tell me which town in Pa so I can check the History of this Home with the Local Historical Society... Only if you are able.. :-) I respect your privacy...
Laura Murphy can u update me on what u find ... a part of me have to know what happened to this family and was everything left behind in this beautiful home ...
It's probably actually a bit more recent than that, closer to 1900, maybe 1910. The reason for this is that there are so many bathrooms, none of which appear to have been added on later. During that time, closets weren't super common in bedrooms because of wardrobes, or I'd say that maybe they had converted them into bathrooms later on. I've also read that 1800's bathrooms were usually pretty large, but I don't know if that was true in every case. Only the bathroom on the first floor looks like it's newer than the 1920's, probably from the 1950's because of the "sink with the face" and the choice of mint green as the color. I remember reading that people didn't put bathrooms on the 1st floor because hygiene was a more private issue which was confined to the bedroom areas on the 2nd floor. Here are a bunch of examples from different eras. www.pinterest.com/craftsmanjunky/early-1900s-bathrooms/?lp=true Also, the exterior windows have this "boxy" decorative trim which I found on an old farmhouse near my parents house a few years back. I was able to date that farm house to around 1900-1910 but I can't remember the actual year anymore and the house is long gone so I can't look up the property records anymore to find out.
I live in an 1891 Queen Anne Victorian in Conn and the upstairs bathroom has an original copper tub with lion's feet... the downstairs bathroom was added in later years.. :-)
My first video from your channel. First I want to say “Thank You” for showing the entire room AND panning slowly. It’s so much more satisfying! I’ll be back often 🙂👍🏻
awesome place guys,, i love how there's a fireplace in almost every room even upstairs,, and that stereo/TV combo looks like it may go back to the late 60's by the looks of the turntable,, must've been a beautiful place back in it's day
I would have skipped all of the junk and went straight to show the architecture and the moldings and woodwork on the inside. When you first see the mansion from the outside, you're like saying to yourself -- "Wow, the inside has to be awesome"? But, then when you did get inside of the mansion -- your video then mainly just focused on the debris and junk in the house. If you would focus more on the architecture next time and not spend so much time on the debris left in the house -- it would be a lot better. Although, I do appreciate that you both took the time to explore the house -- as I grew up in the south and there are many old mansions that I've always wanted to see the inside of and never had the opportunity. What kind of camera did you use to film this ? It's obviously a very high-end camera because all the footage is very stabilized and crystal clear. I would love to know the name of the manufacturer and which model it is? Thanks for making the video -- I did enjoy it very much! I wish that this mansion was salvageable -- but it does appear to have a lot of major damage from the elements and it sits right on a major highway! Very sad. The building of the highway is probably the cause of it being abandoned. It's such a beautiful old mansion! P.S. -- From all of the different sets of "living room furniture" and the different bathrooms on each of the floors -- it appears that this place had been divided up into different apartments. Old mansions did not have that many 'bathrooms' -- most of them just had one large bathroom and it was usually located on the 2nd floor where all of the bedrooms were.
I knew of a mansion in that i was in as a child it was built late 1800s and had many barhrooms this place once was a mansion but may have been split into apts.
17.5 minutes in and I see an antique bassinet, then a beautiful marble fireplace (love all of them in the house)!! Next was the antique metal gas room heater. LOVE the split staircases!! I grew up in a house that had radiators that were plain and the ornate radiator sitting in the bathroom at the top of the stairs is just GORGEOUS!! That house was approximately 100 years old in the '70's. This house looks much older because of the doorknobs. The doorknobs in our house were the glass ones that looked like gems. Looking at the hole in the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom, it looks like there may have been copper pipes that were stolen for their value. The red and yellow game looks like an old connect four game. On the third floor there is an antique Singer sewing machine table with the pedal that operated the sewing machine! What a shame the actual sewing machine is missing. Very old lift-latch doorknob in the basement!! Near the end in the basement it looked like there might have been a room on the right with a little window. I remember in the house I grew up in there was a room in the basement that had a door and a little window up high. My mother told me that it was originally a coal room and that the coal truck had a shute that poured coal in through the window of the room for the coal furnace. Loved the video!! Keep up the good work!
It looks like a nice place to take a dump.... Pinch off a smoking hot eye peeling curler that would choke a dog. Then run not walk away. I do it in walmart all the time. Over in the sport section..
Beautiful structure. I can imagine how it must have looked in it's heyday when it was first built. I believe the room with all of the overturned sofas, photos and chairs must have been the Dr's office patient waiting room, as it's just off the main entrance. That would explain the many magazines and also children's toys there. Just my guess. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
I lived in a similar house growing up. It was in the country on acreage & we found out, while doing repairs, it was also owned by a doctor previously. Our house was once in downtown Sacramento, California, a prominent doctor's home. He became alcoholic and lost his license. The home was moved to what was then a very remote area. Although it was a two story when my family purchased it, it had been a 3 story home with maid quarters on the third floor. When it was moved, it could not fit under power lines and some road-ways, so the top floor was taken off. We found lots of old liquor bottles hidden in walls, in the attic (previously 3rd floor) and even under the home (no basements here, but it was set up on cinder blocks). After the doctor lived there, a free-spirit family with many children lived in it & moved out, leaving much of their things in shambles & trash galore. They intended to update the home when they bought it, but lived too free a life-style to follow through. In that respect, it reminds me of what was seen in this video. My parents bought it for very little (basically land value), cleaned it up, and restored it the best we could. It's a beautiful 5,000+ sq foot home which my parents sold when they retired & didn't want to deal with stairs anymore. The huge pocket doors, woodwork, built-ins, and moldings/casings were so very intricate. My worst memories of those years were the Saturdays spent dusting all those detailed cut-outs/grooves. The upkeep was endless, but wish the home was still in our family.
Woman need that though, a little guidance in their duties caring for the home and the man. You know, they don't get out much with all their daily duties with the kids and all. She's lucky to have him. How horrible if she was a Spinster.
Having the camera is really important and especially in a dangerous house like this with it in that state, a serious amount of teamwork to stay safe is required.
I love all the details of that old house (plaster and lath walls, so probably around 100 years old), and they get excited about a shoe, a can of shaving cream, and condiments.
The old radiator......I remember sitting on them at school, pretty cool! I think the home has been renovated some 3 or 4xs, the age....very hard to say? It never had electricity because almost ever room had a fireplace.....might be 1800s or older? It’s been renovated so many times! .....great video!
Definitely that build-in record player was from the 60's. It played amazing music n the base was awesome! My late grandparents n aunt owned one. #greatmemories
I'm watching this video in July 2019. I had that Holly Hobby doll when I was a child during the 70's. Cool video! 👍 However, it may have been mentioned already, but you should wear respirator masks when you go into these old houses.
This big old house is really impressive and very mysterious! I am usually curious to some degree about previous residents, but this one is such a puzzle, what with the photos, medical stuff, kid toys, etc. Wouldn't it be great if vandals and thieves had left it alone for us to see in it's entirety? Wow. Never gonna happen tho......Really great job, Rick & Bekah, as always! (PS: The orange tiger kittens were beautiful, may they live long and prosper.)
Really love the heart and expressive way you guys you showed me around. Your gentle manners of even the bad stuff was awesome. Have seen many tours and you top the best of them. Love how you walked us though, thanks. Would love to see you again. Especially loved the large buildings, somewhere, that were so clean after all the years.Love to hear from you
You guys are my favorite explorers. You got some great videos. Love em. A lot of stuff that you find in the old houses I remember as a kid because I was born in 1963 and grew up in the 70's. Its so cool seeing the old phones that were in my kitchen of our families house in Middletown, NJ. Great memories and keep up the good work. Love ya guys.
Am I the only one that wants to pick up the furniture and clean the place up? I would love to put that place back in order and show the old place some respect it deserves. Coolest place ever!
My thoughts exactly..I could spend a whole day tidying that place up
I would too! Love those old homes! A shame!
hi look into how owns it you may be looky and could go in for reclame home lookinto it hun i would if it was me only i do not live in the usa if i did i would
pluse if you low cat the owner you cold get it for free
Anna Jones i agree midcentry furniture & the turn of the century architecture is beautiful
You know for some of us the 80s weren't that long ago. I was raising my children so seeing some of that stuff brings back memories. When born in 52, the 80s seems like yesterday.
Yes it does. I’m 52 but was a young mother and wife in the 80’s.
There is one sad lesson learned from all abandoned videos.. rich or poor.. we all gonna leave this planet one day
Yeap leave totally butt naked with everything we loved and purchased behind .
I don’t think that’s a sad fact. As long as you live a life that you felt fulfilled then you’ll be ready to move on to the next stage, whatever that is.
You didn't know that before? Lol

That house goes back a lot farther than 1980s
it goes back to the 1850s or earlier. I wish you could find out the history of this place.
I’m pretty sure the house is built way before the 80’s to. Even tho the 80’s might have been the last time someone was there
Very interesting. Things I noticed: A book published in 1946 "A Dark Wood"; syringes that are packaged in a way that were not available too much prior to 1980 (I'm ex o.r. person); wiring in the basement is 1930's to 60's; Boiler is very old...probably late 30's early 40's. I'm wondering about his practice there. It was common in the 60's, and prior, for docs to work out of their homes, and also did house calls. You're probably too young to have experienced that. And these docs were generalists that had to practice in many specialties. I'm betting he was 65+ when he either passed away or had to leave the practice/home. Remember that family picture? Looks like it is from '79, 80, '81. That fellow was about 40, 44 yrs old and it looks that his oldest daughter may have been 20. So, he is too young to be the doc that had the letter to him in the 60's. My guess is he is the son of the doc, or the woman is the daughter of the doc. Why do I think so? If the place was abandoned in '86 ish, why would a 46 to 50 yr old doc, in his prime, leave behind all of that business stuff? He wouldn't. Do you two ever do research on the places you visit? That would be interesting to know who owned the place at the time. Great adventure. You two be careful out there.
Whenever I see these videos...I always wonder what the back story is. Why was it abandoned....why would people just leave their stuff behind...all those pictures, they obviously had family. Just so sad to see such beauty and history in ruins. ...and all the family history , just gone. Very sad
i know what you mean,,one of their videos i watched made me cry cuz it reminded of my mom & dad's old house style,,,it got to me a little
Me too
So often if wills aren't left & family fights among siblings, 2nd wives & her family, etc., it can get tied up in court for years. I've also seen property given to people who lived out of state & never came back to the area. It just sat.......and rotted. 😢
Madison Madison if the walls could talk
I must say that Rebecca does a great job of keeping the camera steady, Thank You.
But he is super annoying
Bekah I really enjoy your filming technique steady, slow, wide sweeps and you look at interesting items with a positive twist which is so refreshing now-a--days.Thanks for sharing
Thanks you :))
Yes. I've also noticed how smooth you video everything.
Ruthie Little Yes she did s great job..Its because she is a woman 👧
I think Rik is acting the same, this is a beautiful old home, i don't think anyone could use the script pads from a doctor 30 years ago Rik... Bekah you said it best when you said "you just don't get it" how someone can destroy a home like that, let me tell you though as a 62 year old Woman it's wonderful to see some Millenniums who have respect for life and things! Blessings
Cherie Grant Johnson AGREED! A lot of them don't care about anything that belongs to their parents or grandparents.. MINE included....but one day it will all be gone or scarce and they will be sorry they didn't keep some of it. And then the new thing will be for the future generations scouring "antique shops" Looking for the 1980-2000's! HAHAHA! Funny to think of...
Cherie Grant Johnson AMEN TO U!!!!
Cherie Grant Johnson I know how you guys feel. I don't get how people feel they can just go in and destroy things! I love this old mansion. Do you guys ever ask the neoghbors about an old house?
Cherie Grant Johnson right on honey.
I love you guys!!! I am disabled and I have never been out of Vermont, you kind of have me as a third person. I try and live through your videos and imagine im there. 1966 here and I too like 1980 and long movies you make thank you very much.
Never left the state of Vermont😳wow.
cat's are always a good sign of no evil entities
i think its funny how astonished they are to see the pictures from the 80s.... its the 1980s not 1880s, only 30 years ago, could show you a whole box of pictures from the 80s. its called my teen years.
We aren’t astonished. It’s because no one has them in their possession. I was born in the 80s. Just think it was a while ago though.
TheLaydewlf that’s epic funny. I need to find a way to use that line somehow in my day to day life lol.
I know I thought the same then when they said " Looks like 80's people " lmao...WOW I know I"m 2 years from being an antique, but goodness....:-p
TheLaydewlf we are old! Lol!!!!😖😱🤧
Bob eats peanut butter
I loved the shots of the kittens, especially at the 34:51 mark with the one peeking out through the hole in the porch...
Me too Dale. :)
I took a screenshot of them... I love orange tabbies.
Me too adorable kittens
Me too! So cute!!😻 I wanted to rescue them!
they were too cute
I think Bekka is such a sweetheart and I love how she loves seeing toys. So cute
About 31:14 you had just said the Dr is long dead. And at about 31:18 you hear a raspy voice say “I AM”. Sounds like the Dr answered you 😱😱😱👻
WOW,your right!! Creapy voice!!
OMG. Glad you pointed that out. I wouldn’t have noticed. That was creepy!
I hear it too!
Perhaps that family WAS murdered. I didn't catch the words, but did hear the odd noise. I went back; the voice is absolutely clear!
It was Rick just saying oh yeah...kind of a sigh.
"I SEE 80'S PEOPLE" 😂 😂 😂
Both of you crack my me up with some of the things you say.
I was expecting antiques in a place that old. 1970's & 1980's seems almost like yesterday to me. I was hoping to see some 1880's stuff. The old house is awesome though.
Why don't you two try to find out WHAT happened to the owners that lived in there 20, 30 or 40 years ago ??!!
I’m imagining how amazing that house was when it was first built.
They just don't build houses like that anymore. So beautiful.
And a tip next time before a outing. Have 2 batteries fully charged.
It's "an outing."
OMG a genealogists dreams all those papers in there with names.. I bet their descendants might not even be aware of all of the photos and ephemera ..
Hey Bekah, you do an awesome job with the filming. Very professional! I never get dizzy cuz you scan so smoothly and not rushed.
Loved the kitten sitting in the hole in the porch.
Me too! :)
Same here :-)
so cute and are they alone il hope not paul ,, very great place love it ,,
Took a screenshot of them
HOPE THEY WERE./ARE GETTING FED
So happy that you've captured some photography of the beautiful kittens. Love where one is popping his head from the porch floor while the sibling is looking on. I may do an oil painting of that. Much success to you both.
Lol, “I think we’re in Pennsylvania.” Not knowing what state you’re in can be a huge problem.
I saw IC Light beer in one shot, so most likely in Pa. Iron City was a Pgh, Pa brewed beer, drank a few in my younger years.
At 16:25 something blocks the light in the doorway and then quickly moves left off camera, Creepy!!
Omg! I see what you are talking about, I don't know how you caught that! Super creepy.
The fireplaces in this place are amazing. That tells me this place is old.
It's amazing how disconnected young folks are from the near past.
The kitty in the hole 🕳 is sooooo cute. She’s peeking at y’all.
OMGOSH!!! The 80’s!!!! You make me feel ancient lol. I’d love to go with you two on one explore to explain some of these old things!! No disrespect, just sayin the 80’s weren’t really that long ago. You make it seem like 100’s of years ago. The doll that didn’t make it looked like a Holly Hobby doll. I could be wrong because I was a teenager in the 80’s so I guess my OLD brain is failing me lol. Good video though. At least you respect the properties you explore. Thanks for taking us back with you 🙂
Also, did you ever follow up with public records to find who owned the property? I would have done some investigating to see if I could find out what happened to the people who lived there.
I'm curious about that too
They had magazines with address labels on them! They didn't even think to check! Real investigators! Hahaha!
I was thinking the same thing!
It's strange that some of us want to know what happened to these people while others are quite content to just watched a video. But seeing all their possessions . You have to ask the question? What could make them make them just walk away from their lives ? And why couldn't they be bothered to try and find out? Cause in another video of their's but much more unsettling then this one . I ask them if they could look into what happened since they had everything that with a bit of effort we'd probably have a answer to that question now but have never heard back . Such a shame that these families are going to fade into history without even some one trying to make an effort and put some closure to their story . Maybe some one else might come along and fill in what we'd all like to know.
This property had loads of paperwork and names, if we were told the name we could have researched the family ourselves. It leaves us questions as to what happened to them. Nice to have followups on any houses you have researched
18:02 How sad is that, family photos - memories with crap over them. I would love to know the stories behind all these abandoned properties on CZcams. Nobody has ever done it though.
Some have info in the comments and some uploaders put back info in description
When you mention the shoes hanging on the wall mirror did you notice the stethoscope hanging on the side? Great find.
The best part of your videos is when she says “it didn’t make it, it didn’t make it” 😂
She seems very sympathetic toward the dolls.
I'm so glad that you guys came across this beautiful Mansion. When I look at it, I think of the Ppl living there. If only the walls can talk. Ty for taking your time checking it out. This is by far yet my favorite video.
Thanks. We’re glad you like it. :)
I sure did.
Could still be repaired, with lots of money. Beautiful house, lots of property. The amount if vandalism is inexcusable!
Reading other peoples’ comments is nearly as enjoyable as the awesome videos. Love to hear others’ takes on these places. Definitely a late 1800s home. The couches on the front porch were midcentury modern, late 50s-early 60s. Most of the furniture inside looked very 70s, especially the orange and green floral couches. Those magazines and dolls were 80s relics. On the top floor was a really cool Singer sewing machine stand, minus the sewing machine from around 1900 id guess. These videos are so riveting!
Glad you enjoyed this place. Thanks for watching !
Bekah, love your filming techniques, slow and steady and you zoom in to things of interest. I have watched a lot of abandoned houses videos and so far you are the best at filming. Good job, keep up the good work! 🙏🙏🙏 thank you .
yeah she's good but i like to see the graffitti on the walls too,, which she avoids lol
Wish you knew the properties background also
Most of that furniture is 60s - 70s. But that photo, that really did look 80s! I wonder why all that stuff is still there, and what happened. It is weird, and sad.
Hoping to find out.. i am in the process of doing research... :-)
Sometimes elderly people end up in nursing homes and think they will be going home, and they never leave them. That is what is sad.
InTheirImage7 I was thinking the same thing!! I live in a huge Farmhouse on 26 acres that was built in 1920 and I've really spruced this home up. I love it!! There is also a little log cabin beside of me that was built in 1849 and it's in amazing condition. I have no neighbors and that's the part that I think I love most! Lol These old houses amaze me and I wish that people wouldn't vandalize them! It's really sad.
My guess is that the people in the pictures were not the doctor, but his kids and grandchildren. Eventually he got old and passed on. Far too often, the heirs are living far away and can't deal with the house easily, or don't want to due to how much stuff there was and how overwhelming it is to go through. So they take what they want and leave the rest behind. If property taxes aren't paid, eventually the county will seize the home and land, and it becomes property of the local government. If it's in rough shape like this one, it can be really hard to get rid of it at auction, because fixing the home up would be a major investment for a new buyer.
Laura Murphy did you ever find out the history of who this family was and what happened?
Any info -
Amazing video of a huge mansion! I can just imagine how beautiful that place was back in the day, with all of those fireplaces and so many rooms. Excellent camera work Bekah, and nice to hear you talk a little more. You guys are the best!!!
Thanks :))
Love these longer vids! I know it isnt always possible but I appreciate so much when we get to see an entire abandoned house with you guys
I appreciate the footage of the kitties :)
Wow 80's, cracks me up. I forget that's been 30 some years ago. Old to me would be 1920's.
Amazing at all the stuff that was in there, big huge place. Can you imagine what that place used to look like with those big columns inside and out and those porches and two way stairs and all the fireplaces!! And good for you making a long video anymore videos are becoming too short. Great job you two!!.......
Pamela, love the porches!! :)
Pamela Gideon-Agreed. It must've been absolutely Magnificent in it's prime!!! I don't comprehend how it could've been abandoned and not sold!!? Too bad they didn't later research it's history and do an update. I wonder if the family just moved on or if something truly tragic occurred and that's why it was left with all it's possessions?? It should've been auctioned off. It's truly a shame the home wasn't sold for another family to enjoy. It pains me to see such a beautiful home fall to shambles!!!...
Beautiful old home and great work you two! Please be careful,though!! Snakes and ticks and spiders... ewww!!! Not to mention catching a trespass charge if you get caught! Thanks for risking all of that (plus black mold,asbestos, etc)to bring us these great videos!!!
I absolutely love the way you respect the property, the way you photo and film and the way you both communicate with each other. It's really good that you are filming this for historical reasons.
Thank you for documenting these places. Many of us will never be able to visit.
OHH! You totally missed several pristine magazines on the table with their MAILING LABELS intact! That was a prime opportunity to find out who lived/worked there!
The microphone you found in the room, was attached to the General Electric "Progress Line" model radio laying on the floor. There was also a couple of antennas laying around there also I saw. I have serviced those radios over the years, which is why it caught my eye. I love your videos! Obviously was into medical and used the two-way radios for his practice. Probably ran it out of his home. On the basement ceiling I noticed the old style "Knob and Tube" power wires. That was done in the very early days of electric in homes. Before the modern cables like romex we see in homes today. Knob and Tube is attached to ceramic "Knobs" and goes through walls in "Tubes" to protect the wires. Otherwise, touching them in a basement when the power was on could prove deadly to people. There were no markings on them to show which was one was the hot one, Live one, or the return one. The heat in the basement was fuel oil fired steam heat, based on the type of radiators in the home. VERY nice explore! You two are great!
The microphone was probably used for dictation for the doctor. For his patient notes.
It was indeed a dictaphone.
It is a cb radio.
I would suggest that you get an extra battery for your camera. Than you won't worry so much about running out of battery. Also a good flash light. When taking photos, things to shoot, the old fire places, door knobs, window that are different shapes, stair wells. the columns inside and out side of the house. The kittens on the porch where one was peeking out of the porch would have been an adorable shot. Good luck on your next exploration.
First time seeing your channel. Wonderful opening shot and music. Nicely done.
The green dishes in the box in the closet upstairs came in Duz Laundry Detergent in the 1950's. My mom had the whole set. In fact, everybody we knew had those dishes.
Sue, that sounds awesome! :)
That's so cool !! Thanks for watching our video.
Sue Nuckles yah, I’m 70 yrs old and my Mom used to collect dishes from laundry detergent box. And myself? I use to collect nice drinking glasses from Gas ⛽️ stations will a fill up or so.
@@pepperann5766 my mom did that too! She turned 70 this year lol.
The rag doll with the blue bonnet was Hollie Hobby and the doll head without a body was a Cabbage Patch Kid. Both very popular in the early 80's. Almost every little girl wanted a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas and stores ran out. Since I couldn't get one at a store I bought one from a gal that made them. Looked cute,but wasn't the " real McCoy " so my little girl was disappointed. She had Holly and later she also had a Cabbage Patch Kid with its adoption papers, ect. All ended ok!🙂
I had all these toys when I was little your right they were very popular it was sad to see some of them in poor condition
Marilyn Denler I had that Holly Hobby! I got so excited when I saw that ☺
Holly Hobby was my favorite doll when I was a kid! Raggedy Ann was as well! I collect dolls and I think I'm going to try to find those dolls. That was an amazing home! Wish I could clean it up!!
I am old enough to remember both dolls. I still have a Holly Hobbie doll exactly like the one in the video, it's packed away in a box somewhere.
You guys know how to explore..thank you guys for going slow and steady without rushing and done in 10 minutes max. Next time take some extra batteries and a flashlight (torch)...so you dont have to worry about dark rooms. Thank you so much for taking such care to document and doing a great explanation. Girl!!! stop touching stuff without gloves. We don't want you to be sick. Take care guys..(hugs). Im a new sub. I subbed you guys because you do a proper explores. Real pros. Well done!!
I can totally imagine what this place looked like in its heyday. It still feels warm and welcoming and alive ❤
I've yet to see on any of these sites a comment which says, "that used to be our house" or, "my family lived there".
You guys are such a sweet couple.
Cobwebs and Lightbulbs.
Great book title or name for a band 😊
Never felt this b4 but seeing the old phots makes me think of some of my young friends, who are in their second year at uni.
They are stressing and working so hard and in no time it will all be over.
That was a original Holly Hobby doll.
KA MC yeah! I kept thinking Man I would take some of that stuff. I wonder if they do that, but off camera.
Only take pictures....leave only footprints....
@@GlaneciaXCat i thought the same thing
@@GlaneciaXCat u know they do cause i bet u there r more people there helping them get around and giving them anything they like
You should look for names on paper work and do research on google to find out what happened to these people.
You guys do an amazing job capturing the feel and the spirit of the home. Mike sounds enthusiastic and Becka awestruck - makes for a great combo. Well done!
Thanks very much for the feedback Gia!
That porch is beautiful! I love the architecture. It's so classic Victorian. That stereo and TV console was very popular in the 70s and 80s. I would imagine this was such a beautiful home. Some of these items could be antiques. Looks like looters and vandals have been through the house. I really enjoyed this video. This house is amazing. I love your enthusiasm. It would be very interesting to know the story of this house. Well done, guys!!
21:43 anyone else see a crazy monster sink vomiting lol!!!
I can't believe there's so many abandoned houses! Thanks for sharing!
Great find. Awesome picture of the two kittens, one with their head coming through the porch floor.
This was actually one of your best finds and explore! Awesomeness! 👍🏼👏🏼😎😁
U guys deserve so many more subscribers. The camera work is always AAA and your ability to find and explore fine places is uncanny.
Thanks Jason. We often wonder why it doesn’t take off like other channels. Oh well.
It will in do time
Hi Guys, This home was probably built between 1860-1870. Due to the fact that there are fireplaces in every room & back then that was the main source of heat... Radiators happened a bit later after 1880... & I see most of the fireplace mantles were of Marble & some our of wood which indicates this home was built for a very prominent person back in the day... I see there are some of those radiators on the porch etc.. which I'm thinking that perhaps there were scrappers in the area....& they were trying to move it for salvage... or when the Dr's practice closed perhaps someone was intending to rehab and had financial issues & were unable to complete the work... The Dolls you found were the Cabbage Patch and Holly Hobble which was from the early 80's.} Perhaps the Dr who lived & worked in this home passed away & the family moved without being able to sell this home & then again maybe the realitives /family of this Dr did not want to own such a large home..which requires a lot of upkeep & maintenance...Heartbreaking beyond sad that vandals destroyed the inside with graffiti as well as damaging the interior & turning the contents upside down.... I live in a Queen Anne Victorian which was built in 1891... I do know alot about them...Is it possible you could at least tell me which town in Pa so I can check the History of this Home with the Local Historical Society... Only if you are able.. :-) I respect your privacy...
Send us an email. Exploringwithrick@gmail.com
Laura Murphy can u update me on what u find ... a part of me have to know what happened to this family and was everything left behind in this beautiful home ...
It's probably actually a bit more recent than that, closer to 1900, maybe 1910. The reason for this is that there are so many bathrooms, none of which appear to have been added on later. During that time, closets weren't super common in bedrooms because of wardrobes, or I'd say that maybe they had converted them into bathrooms later on. I've also read that 1800's bathrooms were usually pretty large, but I don't know if that was true in every case. Only the bathroom on the first floor looks like it's newer than the 1920's, probably from the 1950's because of the "sink with the face" and the choice of mint green as the color. I remember reading that people didn't put bathrooms on the 1st floor because hygiene was a more private issue which was confined to the bedroom areas on the 2nd floor. Here are a bunch of examples from different eras. www.pinterest.com/craftsmanjunky/early-1900s-bathrooms/?lp=true
Also, the exterior windows have this "boxy" decorative trim which I found on an old farmhouse near my parents house a few years back. I was able to date that farm house to around 1900-1910 but I can't remember the actual year anymore and the house is long gone so I can't look up the property records anymore to find out.
I live in an 1891 Queen Anne Victorian in Conn and the upstairs bathroom has an original copper tub with lion's feet... the downstairs bathroom was added in later years.. :-)
I will email you later on today.... :-)
My first video from your channel. First I want to say “Thank You” for showing the entire room AND panning slowly. It’s so much more satisfying! I’ll be back often 🙂👍🏻
You have to do basements!!!! They are the coolest!!!! Glad to see youngins enjoy classic architecture! Thanks.
It breaks my heart at the graffiti spray painted in these historical houses....so disrespectful.
awesome place guys,, i love how there's a fireplace in almost every room even upstairs,, and that stereo/TV combo looks like it may go back to the late 60's by the looks of the turntable,, must've been a beautiful place back in it's day
I would have skipped all of the junk and went straight to show the architecture and the moldings and woodwork on the inside. When you first see the mansion from the outside, you're like saying to yourself -- "Wow, the inside has to be awesome"? But, then when you did get inside of the mansion -- your video then mainly just focused on the debris and junk in the house.
If you would focus more on the architecture next time and not spend so much time on the debris left in the house -- it would be a lot better. Although, I do appreciate that you both took the time to explore the house -- as I grew up in the south and there are many old mansions that I've always wanted to see the inside of and never had the opportunity.
What kind of camera did you use to film this ? It's obviously a very high-end camera because all the footage is very stabilized and crystal clear. I would love to know the name of the manufacturer and which model it is?
Thanks for making the video -- I did enjoy it very much! I wish that this mansion was salvageable -- but it does appear to have a lot of major damage from the elements and it sits right on a major highway! Very sad. The building of the highway is probably the cause of it being abandoned.
It's such a beautiful old mansion!
P.S. -- From all of the different sets of "living room furniture" and the different bathrooms on each of the floors -- it appears that this place had been divided up into different apartments. Old mansions did not have that many 'bathrooms' -- most of them just had one large bathroom and it was usually located on the 2nd floor where all of the bedrooms were.
Yes I wish they wouldn't focus on the spiderwebs/debris, just on the dateable items and the actual architecture of the house.
I knew of a mansion in that i was in as a child it was built late 1800s and had many barhrooms this place once was a mansion but may have been split into apts.
Agree. More house. Less junk.
Mona V I agree they focus mainly on the junk and not the house itself. I have voiced this in comments before but it doesn’t help.
@@msannabell1561 yep
17.5 minutes in and I see an antique bassinet, then a beautiful marble fireplace (love all of them in the house)!! Next was the antique metal gas room heater. LOVE the split staircases!! I grew up in a house that had radiators that were plain and the ornate radiator sitting in the bathroom at the top of the stairs is just GORGEOUS!! That house was approximately 100 years old in the '70's. This house looks much older because of the doorknobs. The doorknobs in our house were the glass ones that looked like gems. Looking at the hole in the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom, it looks like there may have been copper pipes that were stolen for their value. The red and yellow game looks like an old connect four game. On the third floor there is an antique Singer sewing machine table with the pedal that operated the sewing machine! What a shame the actual sewing machine is missing. Very old lift-latch doorknob in the basement!! Near the end in the basement it looked like there might have been a room on the right with a little window. I remember in the house I grew up in there was a room in the basement that had a door and a little window up high. My mother told me that it was originally a coal room and that the coal truck had a shute that poured coal in through the window of the room for the coal furnace. Loved the video!! Keep up the good work!
WOW!! That wins the coolest house award!!!!!....so far!!! ;-)
GREAT Christian Videos! Q
It looks like a nice place to take a dump.... Pinch off a smoking hot eye peeling curler that would choke a dog. Then run not walk away. I do it in walmart all the time. Over in the sport section..
Beautiful structure. I can imagine how it must have looked in it's heyday when it was first built. I believe the room with all of the overturned sofas, photos and chairs must have been the Dr's office patient waiting room, as it's just off the main entrance. That would explain the many magazines and also children's toys there. Just my guess. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
You two are a great exploration team, thanks for your approach! Very enjoyable!!
I lived in a similar house growing up. It was in the country on acreage & we found out, while doing repairs, it was also owned by a doctor previously. Our house was once in downtown Sacramento, California, a prominent doctor's home. He became alcoholic and lost his license. The home was moved to what was then a very remote area. Although it was a two story when my family purchased it, it had been a 3 story home with maid quarters on the third floor. When it was moved, it could not fit under power lines and some road-ways, so the top floor was taken off. We found lots of old liquor bottles hidden in walls, in the attic (previously 3rd floor) and even under the home (no basements here, but it was set up on cinder blocks). After the doctor lived there, a free-spirit family with many children lived in it & moved out, leaving much of their things in shambles & trash galore. They intended to update the home when they bought it, but lived too free a life-style to follow through. In that respect, it reminds me of what was seen in this video. My parents bought it for very little (basically land value), cleaned it up, and restored it the best we could. It's a beautiful 5,000+ sq foot home which my parents sold when they retired & didn't want to deal with stairs anymore. The huge pocket doors, woodwork, built-ins, and moldings/casings were so very intricate. My worst memories of those years were the Saturdays spent dusting all those detailed cut-outs/grooves. The upkeep was endless, but wish the home was still in our family.
Great house and video. Thanks to both of you!! BTW.. Rick you could use some new socks...lol
Haha yeah I wear them out. :)
Rick really micromanages. Kind of overwhelming.
Kayla Grimshaw is actually quite annoying 😬
His wife doesn't seem overly bothered by it, I would just overlook it
I was going to say the same thing, constantly telling her how to film haha
Woman need that though, a little guidance in their duties caring for the home and the man. You know, they don't get out much with all their daily duties with the kids and all. She's lucky to have him. How horrible if she was a Spinster.
Having the camera is really important and especially in a dangerous house like this with it in that state, a serious amount of teamwork to stay safe is required.
I love that your making a long video!!! I love to see all the details!!!
I love all the details of that old house (plaster and lath walls, so probably around 100 years old), and they get excited about a shoe, a can of shaving cream, and condiments.
Great find guy's this has to be a home / doctor's office I hate that the family photos were left behind.
Yes very strange they were left like that. Makes you wonder what happened.
The old radiator......I remember sitting on them at school, pretty cool! I think the home has been renovated some 3 or 4xs, the age....very hard to say? It never had electricity because almost ever room had a fireplace.....might be 1800s or older? It’s been renovated so many times! .....great video!
Definitely that build-in record player was from the 60's. It played amazing music n the base was awesome! My late grandparents n aunt owned one. #greatmemories
Dude I was LMAO 🤣 the whole time!!!
Thanks for the laughs 😆.
Those couches on the front porch are probably Danish 1960's, teak wooden legs and very expensive if redone right.
I feel sorry for vandals. They have no respect for themselves
they are lucky..
I'm binge watching all my favorite time capsule houses channels, including you guys, today.
Great video! Perfect still shots!
The columns in the front "hallway", both down and upstairs, were originally porches and not part of the interior.
Good one, thanks!
We used to have a tv / stereo/ record player console too !
I can tell Bekah enjoys every home how she takes the time to capture small details again great job❤️
This is my favorite of all of your videos. This is my second time to watch it!
I'm watching this video in July 2019. I had that Holly Hobby doll when I was a child during the 70's. Cool video! 👍
However, it may have been mentioned already, but you should wear respirator masks when you go into these old houses.
This big old house is really impressive and very mysterious! I am usually curious to some degree about previous residents, but this one is such a puzzle, what with the photos, medical stuff, kid toys, etc. Wouldn't it be great if vandals and thieves had left it alone for us to see in it's entirety? Wow. Never gonna happen tho......Really great job, Rick & Bekah, as always! (PS: The orange tiger kittens were beautiful, may they live long and prosper.)
I hope they live forever. :)
Really love the heart and expressive way you guys you showed me around. Your gentle manners of even the bad stuff was awesome. Have seen many tours and you top the best of them. Love how you walked us though, thanks. Would love to see you again. Especially loved the large buildings, somewhere, that were so clean after all the years.Love to hear from you
Hello. Thanks for watching. Enjoy reading your comments. :)
Really great video, and you gave some good tips. Thank you for your efforts in sharing this.
No mention of the amazing fireplaces !
This house is old. I'd say 1800's judging by the marble fronted fireplaces.
You guys are my favorite explorers. You got some great videos. Love em. A lot of stuff that you find in the old houses I remember as a kid because I was born in 1963 and grew up in the 70's. Its so cool seeing the old phones that were in my kitchen of our families house in Middletown, NJ. Great memories and keep up the good work. Love ya guys.
I love the music for this video it goes with the sadness of a beautiful home abandoned.
