Knight in Shining Armour
Along a scenic road lies this incredible time capsule house with everything left behind. This large home built in 1956 features interior design elements from the 70s including shag carpeting in the bedrooms, a carpeted wall in the primary bedroom, appliances from the same era and even an Asian themed tiki bar/room in the basement. There are a number of personal items left behind as well from clothing, to photos and even letters from the children to their father.
The Home was owned by a German man named Hans. He was born in 1923, and he married a woman named Emma at a relatively young age. Hans was a school teacher by profession, teaching at a nearby school. He was a hard worker and was always furthering his education, as seen in a number of certificates found throughout the home. I believe he also had a small business selling renewable energy sources such as, solar panels and wind turbines which he operated out of a separate part of the home. In his spare time he liked to build and maintain his elaborate model train display in the basement.
He and his wife Emma enjoyed travelling and did so often until finally deciding to settle down. They had two children, Adele and Michael. They led an idyllic life for a few years but as time went on cracks began to emerge in the marriage. Emma decided it was time to leave and she moved with their children a couple of hours away from Hans.
Hans moved on and met a woman named Ida. Michael would occasionally send letters to Hans and from what I read, they did not have the best relationship. Michael being very religious, was always optimistic they would see each other during the holidays but from the sounds of the letters, that likely didn't happen. He was also upset about the fact that his father did not call him regularly. In one of the letters Michael said that after a phone call with his father, he was scared to death of visiting him after speaking his mind. Emma did not get along well with her ex husband and this likely played a role in the ability for the children to visit with their father as well.
Life continued on for both families until Hans passed away in 1980, he was only 57. Ida lived in the home until at least 1983 as seen in a handwritten letter from Michael addressed to her. At some point after that, Ida moved to Pennsylvania since she likely had friends/family there. The house has sat abandoned ever since.
Emma passed away a few years ago but I have not been able to find out any information about Adele. Michael however spent a lot of time in school training to work in a religious related field. He had inherited a strong work ethic from his father, reminiscing about how Saturdays were work days and how that impacted his life. He has since found a very rewarding and successful career in religion.

This house is definitely one of my top 5 that I've ever seen someone explore. You did an amazing job showing all the interesting features and details of this incredible home! I find that time capsule houses with so much left behind are the ones that interest me most. Thanks so much for sharing this one. WE LOVED IT!!!!
I agree, the time capsules are the most interesting for me too. Glad you two enjoyed it and thanks very much for your comment!!
The stove is identical to the one on Bewitched. It was advanced for it's time. It had a probe that went into the meat you were cooking. Before you went to work in the morning you could take the Roast out of the fridge and put it in the oven and insert the probe into the meat and seat the timer to click on while you are at work. When your Roast was done all the way through the oven would click off. It was high tech for the 1960s 🙂 you got home dinner was done.
That is very cool, I could see it being very useful. So do you know what the bottom part was? I couldn't figure it out in the video.
Thanks very much for your comment!!
Wow I was obsessed with Bewitch, spent my childhood wiggling my nose in attempt to make magic happen and endangering myself climbing on top of wardrobes and banisters 😂
Wow, 'time capsule', exactly right. Was it me, a sad vibe? With the clothes still there, wonder if folks passed. Great video, Thank You.....
These time capsules always have a sad atmosphere to them. Thank you very much for your comment!!
I see the vintage Marantz receiver has been taken that was next to the fireplace. In some ways, I'm glad that it was at least somebody is going to get some use of it instead of it rotting in that house
I disagree, someone likely stole it to sell and now others won't be able to enjoy finding it when they explore this house. I mean I do understand your point of view but you never know when the owners may one day return. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Watching your channel grow is the best❤
Thanks a lot for that kind comment!!
What a lovely golden nugget! 16:12 The local cat- "It's my little getaway" 😺
This one really was special. Thanks a lot for your comment!!
Liked the doilies! Pictures left really break my heart! Love the kitchen counter tops. Definitely a kitschy little place! The tile bench outside the bathroom was neat. Cool pin cushion! Freaky looking dragon on the stairway. The other murals were nice though. Not thrilled with the bar. Huge basement! What a shame that the train room is just deteriorating! ☹️ Definitely hate the pink velvet wallpaper! Love the stone work throughout. Definitely hate those speckled mirrors! The piano detail was awesome!
It certainly was a real shame that the train set is so destroyed but overall an exciting one. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!
31:11 This is string art. It was very popular when I was a kid in the 70's. I've never seen horseshoes worked into it before, that is cool. It was mostly sailing ships and abstract shapes.
We made some in arts and crafts. There was a lot of hammering nails and bruised thumbs involved.
Ha, I would imagine a lot of bruised thumbs. 😂 Thanks very much for your comment!!
Definitely a wonderful video! Incredible! I so love the knight in shining armour and the wall paper!! Can't believe the hours of work that someone did on the hobby end!
Such a unique home, glad you liked it too. Thank you very much for your comment!!
This place is truly amazing but really quite sad as it reminds me that you spend a lifetime accumulating everything you need for a comfortable life like the workshop, all those small components and equipment collected over decades, then you die, and the whole lot just rots away. The train set must have been fantastic when it was lovingly made and enjoyed. The trains are valuable so not surprised they went. Anyway that was a very interesting explore, fairly intact always good to see.
Ya the train set really was an amazing thing to see, glad you enjoyed the tour and thank you very much for your comments!!
Oh my gosh This really got me James, I was a teen all through the 70’s. This house had very nice things for the time period. The place looks pretty good considering. I hope a family member sees the photos and rescues them. ps...Therewas a little glass flower decoration above a tall dresser I love glass and old glass so pretty . 17:08
Ya, this really is a one of a kind house in this day and age, I loved it. There are so many little details I have missed that people have pointed out, I may have to make a return visit. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Oh wow!!! That is a nicely preserved time capsule!! A nice return to those days for those of us who lived it……brings back wonderful memories!!!
It really does bring back memories, such a great spot. Thanks a lot for your comment!!
It is clear that there has been a lot of traffic thru that house and too many of the visitors ransacked and broke things. Thank you for this video.
Yup I agree. I wish the other people were more respectful. Thank you very much for your comment!!
I've always wanted to explore abandon places. Such a dope video!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for your comment!!
This was one amazing explore. A true time capsule. The owner must have had a lot of money to do the Hobby Trains. That is a pricy hobby to do. I love the excitement in your voice. One heck of an explore JH. Big Hugs 😊😊
P.s. did you take a selfie with that Armour Knight
It really is a great spot, glad you liked it. I'm not really a selfie kind of person 😄, otherwise that's a pretty good idea. Thanks a lot for commenting Kimmy!!
Another great explore. We always look forward to your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for your comment!!

Thumbs up on the video James 👍
Im with you. As well i could live there too. Stay safe and becareful. LOVE, LUV, LUVS
Glad you enjoyed the house too and thanks a lot for your comment!!
The best part of this house was the train tracks. There’s never any trains just
tracks. Thanks for sharing James. Nice work!👍🆒
Ya, it's always just the tracks left over, glad there were some buildings and other accessories though. Thanks very much for your comment!!
James, This is a really awesome home! From the Photos to the Art work and style of this house is just amazing. Looks like a really cool family to have as a neighbor. This place was full of life at onetime for sure! Sad to see them gone... Keep up the great work!👍
It really did have so much character, glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!
Where to begin but, WOW what a cool place, just so much has been left all these years, just love all the retro appliances, wallpaper, well just a lot. Thanks again James.
I'm with you, there really isn't one thing that I didn't like about this house. Thanks a lot for your comment Polly!!
What an unusual house. I feel like much of this was built by the owner. That basement was a complete maze of rooms. I’ll probably have dreams about it. Thanks for sharing. You always have interesting finds
Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for your comment!!
I’m so sorry I miss your premier James 😳I was busy at the moment ❤️

AMAZING VIDEO!!🎉
This has to be in my top five favorite of the best time capsule video ever for me ❤😊
Man that was awesome 👍😎
Thanks for taking your time and opening things and doing a slow pan of the things and rooms so that I can see EVERYTHING in detail. I love this house and video 💯💕👋
Thanks for the back story of the house and people you try to find out about. I enjoy that part ad well 😁
A glimpse of the past for sure and interesting as well as a look into people's lives. Truly a blessing and time capsule.
Sad it is rotting 😢 and😮 nobody has cared for it in a long time. The train town was lovely and beautiful to me 😊 someone took a lot of time building that ❤.
Thanks for your time and efforts in making these amazing videos in my opinion. I appreciate the art of it and sentimental aspects of these homes and thinking about the people who lived in these homes. Times have changed for sure.
Take care ✌️☺️
Well I am really glad you enjoyed it so much and thanks a lot for your kind comment!!
Large place, enjoyed the look.The time it must have taken putting the train city together 👣☀️
I can only imagine how much time went into that elaborate train setup, crazy! Thanks very much for your comment!!
Yes it is incredible
Glad you enjoyed it Jerrold and thanks very much for your comment!!!
My grandfather spoke fluent German. He was a German medic during world War two. German Doctors only helped people. He was a very kind person anytime I wanted a soft drink or candy he would give me the money. Lord do I miss him 😢 thank you for the video it's a beautiful house or most certainly was a awesome home at one time.
Really glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for your comment!!
Wow this house got stuff left behind 😮
Oh yes, a whole lot of stuff! Thanks a lot for your comments Fawn!!
You are so welcome James 😊
Wow! Thets a lot of lipstick 💄!!! 😮😱😱
I know right! Thanks a lot for your comment!!
She probably crocheted those doilies.
I think so too, especially after seeing the crochet magazines. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Yeah, Microwaves don't have stainless steel inside of them.
Not in that day and age, very true. Although I have seen modern microwaves with metal inside, don't know what type but it's still weird to see. Thanks very much for your comment!!
I'm old so don't buy a lot of new things. Simply because old things are made better
That's a very good point
I think that piano is from the 1870's.
Really, what makes you say that? I don't know very much about pianos.
Thanks a lot for your comment!!
Save any converse shoes you find as well as toy chrysler cars, jerseys, billiard balls numbered 10 and 14 and goosebumps books for me please. Sorry for the strange list but it's what I've seen the most in abandoned houses
Thanks very much for your comment!!
@@StaticSpaces yup, you're not doing it though?!
I can't save things for you, I don't own them
@@StaticSpaces okay fine. Too bad they're going to waste. But if these places get demolished, it would be crazy and make no sense not to save them whether they belong to someone else or not, because it would just be a sickening waste
There have been many times where the homeowners have come back to sort things out and take their belongings years after...you just never know
Not microwave, cannot have ferrous metal in microwave.
Ya that's a good point, although some modern microwaves do contain metal on the inside. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Someone do exore before you returned?
I'm not sure I understand the question
