- This beautiful Forgotten antebellum farm house was built between 1850-1855 just before the onset of the American civil war. Sitting out in rural southwest Alabama it has been vacant for over a decade now. The original family it was built for were most likely of above middle class stature too build such a simple but certainly grandiose house for its time and the area of it. The original portion of the house features 4 large rooms with 12-15ft tall ceilings and a fireplace in each room. Also a large main central hallway with a steep staircase leading too two smaller upstairs bedrooms. A back addition with a large closed in back porch was most likely added sometime in the early 20th century. Apparently the final owner had plans of restoring the house and moving in but unfortunately passed away before it became possible. Now the house sits in a state of limbo as the grass and yards grow up into a jungle around it over the years. Luckily it’s rural location has mostly protected it from vandals but in a way isolated the house as well. Its future is uncertain but I’m glad I was able too document this old place in pictures and video. Thank you for watching
Check out my buddy’s work here! She take’s awesome pictures of old Forgotten stuff and places-

Somebody needs to save this house before those pesky vandals take over and decide to destroy this awesome place.
Absolute need to protect it… I will move right on in.
Hopefully no teenagers live around the area.
Luckily the house is very rural and mostly isolated! Perfect if you want a place with some peace and quiet!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
How would you find out the location and the local tax office to find out how to purchase the property if it might be for sale
What a simply amazing find! It’s a pity it is just falling to ruin. I can see it repaired and clean!
How could this happen?? Often wonder if it’s a battle between heirs of an estate?
After the last couple of houses that were total disasters it is refreshing to see one that is still in good shape and that has not been vandalized . This one was a great find Kappy . I hope someone is able to finish what the last owner started and make it liveable again . I liked what they did with the floor on the porch .It's becoming almost cliche that these homes have a piano in them . This is one of those places that it would be fun to have someone restore it and invite you back to see it when finished.
You know that PBS is propaganda riiight ? All i am saying is this old house is bullshit and the bankers will never gift you the option, do you understand ?
Especially the engraved glass panels by the front door I was holding my breath that they were all intact❤️
I feel the same way! The ones that can be saved AND have built ins and old fireplaces and windows and trim , basically charm left. You are my favorite Kappy!! Would love to explore around my town .
This is a crying shame !! Such a wonderful home everything about her is unique !! Every room was AMAZING !!The porches ....that fireplace in the kitchen 😳 That back porch !! God what a waste hopefully someone will find her and breath life back into her !! She is rock solid I would live there tomorrow and clean her up and give her back the life she deserves !! I just loved everything about her !! Amazing video Kappy !!👍👍
So true!! Couldnt agree more!! This place could so easily be saved! In another year or two sadly house will be totally hidden away in a jungle!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I, too, want to cry when I see these homes deteriorating! I would love to find a home like this to purchase!
Delft tiles in library. The embossed glass in front door often comes from Italy....very precious. Rescue this house!!
I love the delft tiles!
Kitchen would look amazing if it was remodeled, and of course keeping the fireplace intact. Love love love this house, and all of its jaw dropping features! 👍🫶 Thank you Kappy!!
Agreed!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Wow! I assumed the last owner had passed. The house seemed to have awesome bones, and the extensive work done to restore it was evident everywhere you looked. I couldn’t imagine any other reason for abandoning this gorgeous place. We always say we wish someone would restore some of these homes, but THIS one looks doable! Somebody snatch this one up and bring it back to life, then invite me over for iced tea and finger sandwiches on that deck! ❤
I agree!
I could see myself sitting in an overstuffed chair in the Library by the window reading a novel, fire in the fireplace, cozy, warm and happy. What a nice old house.
7:54 Schiller, high quality piano’s est. 1884 Frankfort, Germany. This piano as it sits, still has a lot of value 💵 💵 💵
This house is simply amazing and in such good condition, what I would give to live in such a house, loved it! So refreshing to see no vandalism and it looks like the inhabitants haven't left too long ago. Thank-you for showing this to us, your explores knock socks off every one else❤.
I really like the etched glass with the grapes and leaves! It makes things fancy, but doesn't impede the view out the windows! Also love the delft tiles on the fireplace. Just gorgeous! Love the front porch as well!
Kappy, the crown molding is gorgeous!!! If I could, I'd buy this along with everything left inside and get it fixed up and NEVER leave. You found a gem for sure!!!!!!❤ Someone put alot of money into this house. I wonder why they left.
She just needs some love and attention and she will shine again.
You did an incredible job of filming this beautiful place. I am so glad you were able to get this documented before something happens to it. It's just such a shame so much work was put into that house and no one is enjoying it. The timbers upstairs with the square nails was very interesting.
Couldn’t of done it without your help!!! Thank you so much!!🙏 loved that upstairs!! So many details and things too love about this house!! Coulda sat on the porch and read a book for hours!!😅 thank you so very much for watching!! :)
Still in beautiful shape ,great to see one not vandalized, someone was taking care of it ,love old houses,thank you for sharing with us
That house is still salvageable…someone loved it back in the day.
This house needs to be rescued.
A good cleaning crew and some upgrades and that place would be a great place to live!
Miss you Ruby ❤️
She’s hard at work doing her own thing!! Can’t always come with me on my travels with her job unfortunately but she is there in spirit lol! Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful home. In many ways people were smarter back in the day.
What a beautiful old home. Seriously needs to be saved. Wish you would have shown a better view of the kitchen fireplace! Looks like the old cooking FP with the swing arm pot hanger! What a true loss if this place fell into total disrepair. 😢
This house is in amazingly good condition for being so old! I’m stunned actually. Wallpaper looked new, paint wasn’t peeling bad, doors and walls and ceiling all in good shape. Even the doorbell sounded good. The bed in the one bedroom downstairs did make me suspect some squatters may have been in there. Kind of creeped me out a little. But overall this was a gorgeous house. Could really feel the 1850’s in there.
They had pretty good taste.
Thanks for today's edition, Tragically Abandoned. It is such a beautiful house and appears it could be saved which I hope someone steps in and does. Also great to see it with no graffiti or vandalism. Thanks for this tour!
What a fun house, furnished I'm ready to move in😉💗
Same 😉
Never heard cinder block being called 'pretty cool' before. Sweet.
I think it's cool that someone wanted to make sure this house kept standing and so put some cinder blocks in there to shore it up!
That place looks like you can move in any day. Very nice. Thank you for the tour.
That is a nice fireplace and wallpaper in the dining room👍
I love this house and I don't understand why someone would abandon it plus it could be bought back to life and make a gorgeous home for someone what a shame...SMH
This one seems restorable... And its a great layout... Foundation appears ok... No water damage in any ceiling... Very nice from what one can discern from this video....
What a beautiful home. I would live there. The back porch is amazing. Hope someone saves this house. Thanks Kappy.
You found a real gem here Kappy. Wow, what a beautiful house. It's in pretty decent shape too. We have a new favorite now. Love everything about this beauty. Needs to be lived in again. Take care and be safe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seems so worth saving. Beautiful
Love these old houses. Makes, me so sad to see them though.
What a cool house! The wood floors are beautiful and both front and back porch awesome. Thanks Kappy!
This place seems pretty livable. Just needs a good sweep and dusting and you could live there while restoring it (given plumbing and wiring isn’t compromised).
Wow! What a great place, I liked everything about it. Feel bad for the last people that lived there, obviously they had to leave some really nice things behind. But clearly they cared about the house enough to take care of it. And the vandals haven't found the place yet. Nice one Kappy, thank you
This home is so warm and inviting.
Holy cow! Packed! What, no vandals (yet)? One of the best you've shown!
Oh good! Thanks for ringing the doorbell! Sounds just like the one in the house of my childhood! Very cool! And yeah, some ideas were smarter back in the day! Loved seeing that original roof with the square nails!!!
HI KAPPY THE OUTSIDE IS SO RUN DOWN ,,THEN YOU GO IN OZ COMES TO LIFE WHAT HAPPENED HERE ????THIS PLACE IS AWSOME!!!! THIS HOUSE SHOULD BE SAVED IT LOOKED SO STRONG INSIDE NO MOLD OR ROOF LEAKS .. THE OUTSIDE IS THE PROUBLEM ,, THX. KAPPY,, SANDDY...
The floors upstairs still looked shiny. Beautiful house. The fireplace in kitchen looked almost like a pizza oven one. Think this one is my favorite
Another jackpot! I hope someone shows this house some love before it’s too late!😊❤
What a fantastic house. That’s a little bit of a departure for you. A place that still has nice furniture in it. If that were in St. Louis, the minute, those people left that furniture would all be moved out of there by somebody. That chime on the front door is worth probably almost $100. That glass in the window. Fantastic. And how about that old wallpaper? Fantastic. And then asked to be the tallest staircase I’ve ever seen. I would have to have my bedroom on the main floor. Those plank floors are also something really great. It’s all that expandable ductwork up in the attic. I put in a lot of that stuff in my day as a sheet-metal worker. Not as efficient as hard pipe so cool, I love the porches. I seldom go to my computer to leave a comment, but this one was worth telling you how much I appreciate you. You’re doing a great job. I watch you all the time. I can’t see why somebody wouldn’t wanna move into their house and fix it up. I’d be ready to pack my bags today.
I would love to live in this house! It would take some serious work to get that yard back in shape. I can remember going by that house decades ago and thinking how wonderful it was. I was so surprised to see that no one was in it.
Love the glass around the front door. Just absolutely gorgeous
Oh my! One of my very favorites. That hallway! Some nice old details. Looks like it had a pretty decent reno in the 80s maybe? Then a bit more. This one would be a serious temptation. Think I’d redo the kitchen. Such a great find. This one is def worth saving! Thanks as always! You’re the best. ❤
Definitely had some "let's make it look modern" ugly paint schemes from the pre-2008 house flipping days.....but all that could be brought back to a tasteful color palette. 🙂
This place has such good bones that honestly all it really needs is a good cleanup, a good paint job, and honestly......A GOOD OWNER! 💯
I can't imagine why no one lives here its just beautiful!
What a fantastic home. Too bad it is sitting empty with no love. Thanks Kappy.
Get some landscapers over there and they'll have that yard done up in no time🙂👍
Wow... I can't believe the furniture left. What a beauty this would make as a new home and TLC to refurbish.
I love this house! I would move in today. I hope someone saves it!
What an amazing gem, wish I could hit the lottery and bring it back to life. It could be magical!
This house isn't far off from move in condition.Sure hope it's not torn down.The owner should put it up for auction.
Awesome awesome find! Did anyone notice in the kitchen there might have been a kettle that swong out to stir the food inside the fireplace?
That's a furniture flippers dream. I want the dresser with mirror in the kids bedroom!
Loved those porch floors! Thanks for posting this cool old place!
The wallpaper in this house would cost a fortune to buy today ! And the last house pictured in this video looks super interesting too ! Very well done video with beautiful nature at the end. Gives the feeling of time travel 😎♥️🌿🌿
Beautiful! I love the little bird nests tucked in random corners. The doorknobs are stunning, too. Someone loved this house. I hope someone will again…soon. Thank you, Kappy😊
Wow this house is still in incredible shape!!!
That home is in pretty decent shape. I hope someone restores her.
I hope you buy an old home to restore and take us along on the journey.
Give me another couple more years too save up money and I’d love too!! Would be an excellent transition from filming old Forgotten places too saving one too live in!
Loving the tiles on the fireplace and the cabinet! Such a beautiful home. All the fireplaces are so pretty. Love this one! I just wish someone would purchase and bring it back to life, as I wish they would do on all of them. Lol! You’re the absolute BEST Kappy! We all look forward to your next amazing find! As always, stay safe. 😊
Me too!! So many cool lil details in this place!! Was hard too not love it!! I appreciate the kind words always!! Makes me so happy too hear others enjoy these places too!! Thank you so much!! :)
Stunning home. I can't imagine this one would be demolished, as the interior is in good nic and just the exterior needs work. Deceptively plain from the outside, charming and roomy on the inside.
It’s still in good shape. Wouldn’t take much to fix this one up!
What a fantastic house!
This is one of the prettier houses you’ve been to in a while. Nice porches. Beautiful fireplaces and wallpaper. The etched windowpanes were stunning!
I wish it was closer, I would buy it. So lovely.
Love that house! It could easily be saved!
3:13 Whooo! What a beautiful dining room and the wallpaper is intact! 😮😮😮
This is one of the prettiest houses I have seen on any of these shows. It is in really good shape to be so old. So glad you showed it.
Someone please, please please save this house! It's still looking livable! I hate to see this being wasted! Please someone show it some love!!!
To think she was once so cherished. 😢
I love everything about this house!❤ Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks, Kappy, for sharing with us!
That place looks nice with the screened in back porch needs a little work and ceiling fan fixed 🙂👍
Very lovely home! Such a mod podge of interior designs and decor. But had its own character. Thank you for showing the wall paper. I enjoyed this home.
I would think a good realtor could find a buyer. Beautiful house.
That is a nice library with fireplace 🙂
Wow this is an absolute shame....wat an amazing place..i would take this house in a heartbeat..darn shame to let it sit and go to waste. What a great piece of history...nice find thnks for the tour....❤..
Yes that is a cool room upstairs and the 2nd bedroom looks cool too with the built-in bunk beds.👍
Thank you, Kappy! You are right: ppl were alot smarter back in the day❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🤘😭
Much appreciated for watching!! :)
Very Nice Kappy😮😮 😎👍🤟
Thank you for watching!! :)
Oh gosh i can't take it !! another beautiful house is going to waste , if only i was rich because this house is definitely worth saving.
Nice bathroom upstairs too🙂

Painting designs in flooring was popular late ‘80 early ‘90s.
It was a cool 😎 way to give depth, and colour to a floor.
Also, could be changed as wanted, without the added expense of flooring.
Yes sir that is a nice master bathroom.
Must not have been abandoned very long at all...amazing
Beautiful house! Breaks my heart to see it empty and unloved. Thanks for this wonderful explore!
Looks like alot of beautiful abandoned homes there..
Stunning! I loved everything about this house. Finally a home without a leaky roof. That house is definitely a candidate for restoration and it really wouldn’t take much. I wish I could get my hands on it. Thanks Kappy
How will you ? Seriously ? I am in a belief you understand Blackrock and the grift ? How do you suppose you might get restoration ? If you haven't noticed the obvious which might be as little as i few spray painted walls then you surely have missed the picture .. right ?
Wish I knew where this lovely was located, I would buy it!
@@karenkittrell3591Back in 2009 when Obama bailed out the banks during the first foreclosure wave these homes went for nearly nothing. After dealing with Blackrock first hand I wouldn't purchase another home in the u.s. America anywhere knowing that nearly eighty thousand new IRS agents and understanding the Latin meaning for mortgage.
@@joeltrefethren8134 Larry Fink sure lives up to his last name!.... That's for damn sure! 🤦♀️😒
@@chrissytaylor5690 The corporate grift and MSM psyop is surely shameful. The black market and white color crime protected through clownery for their masters. With it being 9/11 tomorrow we now know why pervert nerds get pies in the face. A complete tel a lie vision psyop with many bad actors and clowns.
Beautiful house. It needs to be saved and restored to original.t4s👍😁
💜The purple doorknob was originally clear & turned purple from sun exposure. The glass was made with manganese as a clearing agent, but ironically it doesn’t stay clear over time. (I have a glass doorknob set that has one purple knob & 1 clear because only 1 of them got exposed to the sun.) Stunning house & great video!!! 💜
Loooove this house! Thank you for finding it and documenting it, too.
The book that caught your attention is a novel written by Salman Rushdie. His biography is interesting, too, in case anyone else wondered.🤓🍂
Looks like a nice front porch too and a side porch.🙂👍
Thanks for showing us another great find
Wish it was near me I'd love this house!
Good job, Kapps!
Beautiful home that could be saved! Loved the wallpaper and the attic door. This house could be gorgeous!
Looks like it is basically move-in ready. Somebody put a lot of money and love into that house.
Beautiful house. I hope someone can save it!!
That house has the feel of love that flowed thru it at one time. Someone needs to rescue it and put it back to its original glory, not some updated bullshit.
I hope someone has decided to fix this one up. Its so beautiful and remindes me of the old southern homes
Has grapes and grapevines in the front door transom windows.👍
