- This unique old plantation house was built in the early 19th century, between 1830-1840. The family the house was built for farmed sweet potatoes, cotton and other crops to support the farm. After the civil war the farm was broken up into sharecropping and tenant farms but unfortunately most of the old sharecroppers houses have all collapsed or been torn down by now. Only the original old plantation house remains slowly crumbling away and collecting dust. House was last used for storage and lived in up until the 1980-1990’s. Loved the unique staircase layout as well as the beautiful fireplace mantles. Also interesting is that the house is built atleast 5 feet above the ground as the area is prone to flooding and lowland areas. Very neat old house with an interesting layout inside, obviously was renovated and updated over the last century. Thanks for watching. Leave a like and a comment below if you enjoyed. Thank you!

Nice to see a house that hasn't been ravaged by vandals or falling in on its self
Have some really neat ones on the way! Thank you for watching!! :)
The metal roof is what makes the difference.
I agree
Oh; how I wish someone would save this beauty. Thank you Kappy. You never let us down. You made this old lady happy on this dreary Saturday.
It is indeed a dreary Saturday here on the east coast! Glad to hear that tho! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I would like to buy and save a few of these homes but Kappy will not tell us where they are.
@@jaysmith179 majority of these old places aren’t for sale, sorry about that
Hi Donna. I'm Liz. I'm "old" too. 63 if you call that old. I love this guy's videos too! Have a blessed day! 🏫⛪🏰🏠🏚️🌳🌾🍀🍂🌲🍄🌳🌾🌲🏫⛪🏰🏠🏚️
My kids ask me why am i always looking at videos of old homes. I told them it's relaxing for me, and i love history. My is 99 years old her home was built in 1890 i believe it's a Victorian style home i just love it. She still has the original wood flooring all thru her home. Most of the original windows. I wish she had kept the stained glass front door but she had it removed when i was like 7.
Once again a metal roof saves the day. This house could be saved. Thanks Kappy!
This house retains it dignity! Please someone save this jewel🙏🙏
Really liked this house, looks massive downstairs but with only two bedrooms upstairs, good to see it was just how they left it with no vandalism, loved the front porch too.
The room with the sink in the corner on the ground floor must have been another bedroom. There's no way a house that size would have had just two bedrooms.
If only those walls can talk the story those walls will tell. Thanks for the video.
I love this! I can see myself fixing up and decorating this one! That little sink on the back porch! And in the bedroom. It would have to stay just for cuteness! Nice house. It needs to be a home again.
My Granny had a sink on the back porch. When it was mealtime, she'd holler outside to come in and 'warsh' up, that it was time to eat. That's where we'd wash up before coming in the house to eat. I look back now, and figure that was better than us all trying to get in the bathroom and trashing it! 😊
Well said!! Yeah that sink was certainly a unique feature! Wish I could go back in time and ask the people there reasoning! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
The fact that the ( once detached) kitchen is still standing! Makes this property worth saving!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Agreed! So fascinating how they added on to the back and connected the house with it! Thank you for watching! :)
This is James Barrow 😮 that house is huge it can be saved and fixed up and can be restored and remodel it's a beautiful 1800s house 😊
Such a beauty Kappy! In some rooms, it almost looks like it’s still livable. The crutches in the corner has a sad feeling about them. I love the fireplace and the big front porch is calling my name! Lol! Me and those porches! lol! Thanks you Kappy for your amazing work! You’re the best! Stay safe. 😊
I’m with you on the porch! Loved it!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I couldn't help but notice when you showed the old light bulb hanging from the ceiling that there was an adapter so you could also use the ceiling outlet for electric appliances and such. That was very common in the house I grew up in and of course my neighbor's houses. It was also a sign that you couldn't afford to have more electric run inside the rooms. So the adapter was a quick fix. I can remember seeing ironing boards under the lights and the irons plugged into the adapter.
Great eye!! That’s a good point! Good observation!! Thank ya very much for watching!! :)
My understanding is that those adopters were popular in the early 1900s. Reason being in the early days, electric companies offered two rates. One low rate for electric lighting and a much higher rate for electric appliances. That rate structure went out the window when people started buying the adopters so they could use their appliances at the lower rate. That and as the utility companies increased their generating capacity, they didn't care what people used the electricity for. At that point they wanted their customers to use as much electricity as possible.
iT'S STILLBEAUTIFUL.
I love seeing homes that are 200 years and still standing which would probably attribute to the metal roof. A lot of neat features that you just don’t see in cookie cutter houses. Thank you for sharing Kappy 😊✌️
What a lovely and very odd house! Two front doors and no front foyer with a staircase- only two bedrooms upstairs and that huge rambling downstairs🤔 I wish I had been at the table to hear the original designer discussion! The 2 small sinks seemed very European as seen in old house exploration videos in Europe. That front porch! Could live in it 24/7 in good weather. Yet another home to put on the list of Needs To Be Saved!
Thank you Kappy!
ohh that front yard staircase!!!
covered in greenery, sooooo pretty. enchanted almost.
I love this house, so many windows, doors and rooms! It seemed like the farm house I used to live in, only this house had bathroom inside, ours was an outhouse and bathroom next door at my aunts.
What a beautiful and interesting house. Thanks for taking us along! 😊
Glad you enjoyed!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Thank You Kappy for another great house find,It was beautiful in her day.
Thank you so much for watching!! Have some really cool oldies on the way! :)
Awww... that piano! What a pretty place...
Always seems to be one left! Thank you for watching!! :)
Kappy, a beautiful property as always. I look forward to your videos every Saturday. Thanks for taking us along with you. Be safe.❤
I really appreciate that!! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words! :)
That is 1 way weird layout! The fact that it has 2 front doors makes me wonder If it wasn't made into a duplex Thanks Kappy.
Both my grandparents had homes built around 1880s with two front doors. One was in the Midwest the other in extreme SW Missouri (Ozarks).
Same layout as the first floor of this home. Living room & kitchen on left side & bedrooms on the right. No hallway. The bedrooms were all connected. Must have been common back in 1800s.
If I only had millions..... this house would get saved
I would like to buy and save a few of these homes but Kappy will not tell us where they are.
I imagine he does not tell us for good reasons- some would go look and snitch a few tokens for themselves...:)
@@jaysmith179
Same! 😊
The foundation must still be in tact mostly. The roofing is a beautiful red but could use a good red metal roof. Love the bigness of all of it. Would strip the paint off the trim, crown molding,the doors, and the wainscoting, and hopefully see a medium brown wood through out, put some new plumbing but keeping the old style, new electric,central heating and air conditioning through out. Deck it with redone antique chandeliers, and wall lights, Weather trim all over, beautiful area rugs and some worthy beautiful draperies, and beautiful antique furniture.for starters. The kitchen made farm style,antique cupboards. Nice big fridge and a grand old upright rinkytink piano, and harp and other instruments. And a large pet room that has an adjacent pet pen enclosure,Why not have it all?! Beautiful place, and with redone fire places.Are we ready? Thanks Kappy for the stroll into this beautiful old house👍🦇🕸🕷🦗🦟🐿🐭Put them in an out building Ha! And add a few pets.❤
You found a GEM with this one. I was surprised that there wasn't more furniture ect inside. The 2 pieces of furniture together looked like an old radio, and the one in front is called a credenza. I have one almost the same as this one. They would have it sitting in the dining room with their China on it for fancy holidays ect. That bathroom downstairs looked like my tiny little bathroom. Just put a tub on the far side and that's how big mine is. My Mr, when we moved here said it was the perfect set up for someone with the flu. 😮 It's the truth too! 😊 Keep them coming Mr Kappy! I love watching!
Thanks for taking me along Mr Kappy! 😊
Looks like it would have be a beautiful home one time sad to leave it just go like that I love old houses
Loved the upstairs shiplap !!!! Thanks Kappy !!!
Me too! Thank ya for watching!! :)
Thank you.
What a great house! That could be restored!
Hey Kappy! What a wonderful house! So big and gives off a good vibe!! I would love to rehab it. Thanks for the explore! Be safe. ✌️
Agreed! Place did have a very nice vibe inside! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Really interesting, only two bedrooms and no open staircase. Strange, but beautiful house!
Great house
This is a wonderful example of country federal architecture. The exterior reminds me a lot of Summit Plantation house in South Carolina. What a gem! I hope it is acquired by someone who will give it the attention it deserves. Thank you, Kappy !
Definitely could see that!! Love the architecture of the low country!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
We are anticipating another of charm and character xo
I love this house! It’s such a shame such a unique build will crumble or be torn down for developments. Oh I wish I had money to renovate these gorgeous places that are full of history.
I would like to buy and save a few of these homes but Kappy will not tell us where they are.
@@jaysmith179 especially old plantations
That gas stove in livin room is EXACTLY like the one we had in Dad's house. We used it for decades.
interesting find. I once read in a realtor's description of an old house that was equipped with working sinks in every bedroom, that the house was originally built as an old hotel. Made me think of that, seeing this old house with a sink plumbed into every room as well as the back enclosed veranda. Two front doors? Apartments, maybe? and the assortment of crutches and canes was notable, suggesting old folks or invalids? Then the piano adorned with so much music... church music with titles and the page notations. Apparently, the purpose of old 'plantation' house was changed to fit the folks that occupied it in later years, though, still, long ago, from back when folks gathered around the piano for entertainment and spiritual nourishment. Images that conjure up so much possible history or, at least, stories from another time. Thanks for the journey, Kappy. Thanks for the memories.
She's a beauty Kappy. So nice. Love that front porch, too cool. Pretty decent shape, can be saved. I would if I had the cash. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my words! When you showed that calendar downstairs…I was born in January 1971! …crazy!
This house is a gem!
Agreed! Thank you for watching!! :)
The two misplaced sinks one in the living room & the one upstairs had me wondering why..🤔🤔but what a fun home to see with you…thanks Kap!
The one upstairs would have replaced a wash stand, but the one in the living room was quite odd. Did the little added bathroom not have room for a sink, maybe?
Have you noticed in your explorations that the houses with metal roofs have less water damage? Seems like that was a good plan for vintage homes. Another thing I’ve noticed is how close so many abandoned houses are to highways that probably weren’t present when the home was built. Wonder how much that had to do with the houses being abandoned. I really loved this house.
So true!! Those metal roofs really do last the longest!! I’ve heard can get over 50 years from a good well put on metal roof! I’d do that or a slate roof if I was rich lol! Thanks for watching!! :)
The lightening rods on top of the house are rare-too bad they aren’t taken down. What a cool house. Well built and solid. That could be renovated and lived in I bet.
I love the old house. Back then they didn't put in insulation and good wiring. That alone would cost a lot. It's a shame these old houses go to dust. That piano could have been donated to a church. 😊❤
That’s quite a cool spacious front porch!
I thought the same thing! Prob slept out on it, on hot nights! Thank you for watching!! :)
I liked this house! Thanks bro
Thank ya for watching!! :)
Cool old place
Love this one! From the avocado green shag carpet, to the old pencil sharpener on the closed-in original outdoor deck wall, to the 1971 calendar! Lots of fun. Did you check to see if there was a signature on that large painting? That looked like it could be an Antiques Roadshow find! 😁
That ‘large painting’ is a print, not an original and also not very old.
Many historical homes I worked on had rules about what colors could be painted where, and green porch ceilings were pretty common back then.
"CC" is amazing for someone who can't hear. Even though U don't say a lot, somethings we need to know what things are! Would love to watch again. Thanks ~Debbi~
I agree, sad though mine doesn't work on Kappy's explores.
It use to!@@Bluerose888
Interesting place- good size, high ceilings, and still looks pretty solid. Cool. Thanks for showing it to us, Kappy!
I loved the piano 🎹 and the random sinks how interesting 💭🤔
What a great house!! Weird it only had 2 bedrooms upstairs… you would think it would have more!! Love the screened in porch! Would have been nice for the hot summer nights to sleep out there with no bugs…. I truly wish someone would save it…. I know it takes alot of money and work but dang it looks like it could be saved! Was that an outdoor kitchen to the side? I couldn’t tell if it was attached or not…. The house was a bit of a maze on the first floor…. Great exploring as usual Kappy!!! Thank you 😊
I love this. Please, someone save it! Thanks Kappy, you do an amazing job.
Thank you very much for the kind words!! Couldn’t show these places without yall! Thank you! :)
I love the ivy covered stone steps and the front porch. I agree that it seems seems to have a lot added on. What a wonderful house. Thanks.
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Furniture from 60's not 1900's. Love the house..
Love this house.
This house could be fixed up to be a beautiful house. If I were young, it would be fun to work at fixing it up
I would like to buy and save a few of these homes but Kappy will not tell us where they are.
A lovely home
Sinks in bedrooms were sort of common back in the day. Back before sinks, a basin was used. Basins and sinks in the bedrooms are where people would wash up before bed at night then used again in the mornings to prepare for the day ahead. I think its very cool and neat
Wonder why there were sinks by the fireplaces? I would love to explore, but, there could be something or someone in there hiding! Especially since the front door was not closed. But, such cool houses. Love to hear their history. 🌻
Gorgeous. The high ceilings & parlor doors take me back to a house in southern Alabama where I spent many good years as a kid. The view from the front with the big trees is awesome, and man, if that front sidewalk could speak. Great job as always Kappy.
Nice house, Happy. You have a good eye for old things and always bring it out!!!
This is such a great house and it was very enjoyable to watch you go through it. I think the red tags on the furniture could mean that there was an auction here at one time. They must have sold off the antiques and such.😍😍😍
For being that old it sure looks good. That says a lot about the workmanship of this place. Made to last and withstand the weather and Mother Nature. Love the ship lap walls upstairs but no bathroom up there and there was a chain on the door that leads up. Wonder what that was about. Great explore have a great day
Love this house!! You found a real gem with this one!! Thanks for pressing the piano keys!! I was wondering if it still played!! ❤
thanks for the tour
Neat big old house!😊
Thank you for watching!! :)
That's a cool old farmhouse. Wonder what's with all the sinks? The back porch l got, cuz men would wash up after farmwork before entering the kitchen. Why??? do people go nuts with a paintbrush? Bet the original woodwork is nice. Two front doors were so men could come into the farmers office without tracking in mud, disturbing the ladies, and smoke. Thanks, Kappy, hi Ruby! 🌳
If this house was mine it would be knocking some walls down so it wouldn't be so many doorways but beautiful house great find kappy and thanks for showing the whole house.
Kappy i love your explores allways beautiful old homes i can't believe how much is left of this 200 year old house so big i love how your homes were built with mostly timbers not like in the uk we mostly have brick built homes thanks for sharing your finds .
We sure like your tours kappy keep them coming.
Thank you for saying that! Couldn’t show these places without you guys watching!! Thank you! :)
Lots of windows! Little bit of a strage layout. Thought it would have had a grander staircase. But a neat house just the same. Definitely lots of additions.
Must have been a beauty in its day❤
Oh the possibilities. I want it.
wish i had the money and fix this beautiful house! thanks for sharing! enjoy watcing it,greetings from the netherlands
What a great place! I'm sure it was a grand place in its day. I love that it sits on a hill and of course the fantastic screened very large front porch. I'm a porch kinda guy. I'd be sitting there as much as I could. Thanks for another great adventure Kappy! 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved the porch as well! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words!! :)
What a shame ....you could sweep that porch flip that bench over and sit out there. This home has solid bones looks like know one has been in it for years....even though that one Calendar was from the 90s someone should save this beauty . Great video Kappy as alway's !! 👍👍
So true! Really wouldn’t take much with this old place!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I noticed that the house appears to have a metal roof. That’s what has saved it so far. The metal roof prevented water from getting in and rotting everything.
I like this house very much. Front porch, big rooms, lots of windows. My kind of place. The random sinks are a bit odd but im sure there was a reason at the time. Thanks, Kappy
10:50 Much appreciation for your video editing in pausing for a room scene screen grab.
Thanx Kappy 4 another great vid! That house is awesome and I love the sinks in the rooms. Stay safe out there.
Yet again, another awesome location! 👏🏼 you by far are my favorite explorer! Never have I see a so so video of yours! Always spectacular!❤ Good stuff!👍🏼 Please be safe!☺️
That is too kind of you to say!! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it, couldn’t show these places without yall watching! I really try and cherry pick only the most interesting old forgotten places to film! Atleast to me! Glad you enjoy! :)
This one is awesome! I love when you are able to find a house that hasn’t been updated much.
Me too! Love the ones that never got major updates and remodels!! Thank you for watching!! :)
I love the moldings around the front doors and the huge porch! Good find, looks pretty solid and kind of “clean” lol Bet it was a boarding house with those sinks in the 2 bedrooms plus so many door latches and chains. Great video as always thank you! -John
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
My lord. Looks like it was abandoned the year I was born. 71🤫🤫😂. Unbelievable home!!
@10:10 fright factory, very cool
Love those big rooms
Way to go Kappy,always informative watching your videos
Ohhh I’ve been dying to see inside this one. I heard it was a very old boarding house. Thanks for the peek inside.
Yes, needs saving....
The random sinks were used in early adult bedrooms for privacy reasons. The front room downstairs had a lock on the knob, the crutches, suggest an elderly person slept there. The sink in the back porch area of the house would have been for laundry, vegetable washing. I think many of the lower extra add on rooms were used for kids and possibly for help. etc.. The house was definitely decorated in the 1970's.
Thanks for explaining those random sinks in corners. Could not wrap my head around that.
The house should be saved, from the looks of the inside I doesnt look too bad structurally.
So glad to see it’s beauty before it gets nasty. That is some old paint on the walls. I would have flipped the bench on the front porch and admire the view. Surprised it wasn’t leaking and falling in. Most of the windows still had their panes nor were they left wide open. Thank you for sharing.
Ahhh the old piano.. a signiture piece of most old abandoned homes.. When this house is long gone, the piano will probably still be there! Nobody wants to move those lol ! What a neat old place !! Thanks Kappy for another great vid!
No graffiti paint colours perfect.
Wow i just love the look of this style this is the frontage i like with the 4 windows and some have that big wide porch that goes around thats what i want and them old hardwood floors upstairs man you dont see that no more they dont build stuff like that never anymore i just love love that sun deck nice why dont anyone ever save these places its a shame an..boy i wish this was around here i know someone could save this and thats a Conway piano there worth money..
My Aunt had a glass hutch like that and she used to keep all her tea cups in it. We used to choose one to drink our tea from after dinner. So many rooms and doors.
Wow! I wish I could save this old house & all the abandoned homes! Another wonderful video Kappy! ❤️🤘👍
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Absolutely beautiful!!❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!! :)
