- čas přidán 1. 07. 2021
- Todays video is very special. I take you on an adventure inside of the largest abandoned mansion in America. Otherwise known as Lynnewood Hall. This place was built in 1900 for a very wealthy business man who had also funded the titanic that tragically sunk in 1912 and ultimately took the life of his son and grandson. in 1915 the owner passed away at the age of 80 inside of the mansion. Over the years the ownership has changed hands numerous times just to become abandoned.

The one thing that impresses me most is how humbling and respectful you are to the buildings you have explored. Thank you
He better be I paid good money for this place he asked me for my permission
@@bradmagnuson6963 I never knew you exist but you knew I exist.
agreed, the viewer can see the explorer's reverence, nice.
Why would this be abandoned???
Amazing indeed. Although it would take an army of workers to organize, research, advertise, etc., my fantasy is to have a massive "garage" sale of all items left behind to support renovations. Are there any surviving photos of what it looked like 100+ years ago?
There was so much you didn't show of this place. The swimming pool, the basement with the stairs that went nowhere, the bomb shelter and rations in the basement, the statues on the grounds.
I spend a lot of my childhood exploring this place. I rollerbladed on that marble and watched kids in that play area on the first floor. I also played my clarinet in that chapel.
Such an amazing place.
wow, pls. tell more! fascinating!
Wut!?
What's the location of this mansion?
@@Del-Scent Elkins Park, PA
These is probably only so much he can get to.
In the late 1800's and early 1900's, the area was dotted with mansion for some of the Philadelphia elite families. Many of the mansions were demolished like Whitemarsh Hall...the Versailles of America. Some of the surviving mansions have been repurposed and are still alive today. One could only hope that this masterpiece of American architectural history can be saved. Thank you for the tour.
It is crazy how quickly larger homes can fall into disrepair. We bought a house that was almost 8,000sq ft. With a basketball court in it. An old lady (90) lived there by herself for 10 years on her own. Her 3 sons did bare minimum to help and she just lived in a small corner of it using space heaters. We had to put a decent amount of money into it so we could flip it. We had to do weekly maintenance on it to keep it in good working order for the 5 years we lived there. The new owners are doing an amazing job now.
I guess at the time that they all did their homework on things before they let it go.
You’re not kidding! I have a tiny little 1100 sq ft place and can’t keep up with the maintenance 🤷🏻♀️
It would seem because there are so many people awed by the memory of the Titantic .That somehow this would be preserved. The ship is impossible to restore but this can be saved as part of the legend .
Learn History, not HIS-STORY, or be doomed to repeat it.
The Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship.
Evidence the Olympic was sunk intentionally:
Portholes- The Olympic had exactly 16 portholes while the Titanic had 14. Photographs taken of the Titanic while it was in dry dock show it with 14 portholes. While photos taken before its fateful journey showed the Titanic with 16 portholes, just like the Olympic. The portholes on the Olympic were unevenly spaced while the Titanic had more evenly spaced portholes. The Titanic had acquired unevenly spaced windows before its maiden voyage. Very interesting…
List to Port (leans towards the port side)- Because of the Olympic’s wrecks it had a noticeable 2 degree list to port. One of the few second class passengers to have survived the sinking, Lawrence Beesley, reported that the Titanic did have a slight list to port. Beesley was a science teacher, making him a reliable observer. He also wrote the first book about the Titanic disaster.
Rumours amongst the Crew- Before the Titanic’s launch a nationwide coal strike left many firemen, boiler stokers, and greasers without work. Yet many of these men refused to work on the Titanic for any price. Rumours were circulating around the White Star Line that the Titanic had been swapped with the Olympic. Also even with the huge hype and fanfare surrounding the launch of the Titanic it was only a little over half full upon its departure. Was JP Morgan trying to limit casualties when the Olympic was ultimately going to be sunk? Also several high profile first class tickets were cancelled last minute suggesting that these people had knowledge of the scam.
JP Morgan himself cancelled his ticket on the Titanic- JP Morgan the billionaire owner of the White Star Line was scheduled to go on the Titanic’s maiden voyage, but cancelled a few days before departure claiming illness. He was seen the day the Titanic sank in France with his mistress looking perfectly healthy. Also close friends of JP Morgan including Henry Clay Frick, a industrialist, and his wife, Horace J. Harding, a banker, and George Washington Vanderbilt all cancelled their tickets last minute.
Californian- The SS Californian was another large passenger ship owned by JP Morgan that steamed out into the middle of the Atlantic carrying only 3000 woolen blankets and jumpers, no passengers. Was the Californian supposed to rescue the passengers of the sinking Titanic? A survivor, Edith Russel claimed the crew on the Titanic assured her as the ship was sinking the Californian was on its way. The Californian was 12 miles away from the Titanic as it sank because of navigation errors. Those errors cost 1500 people their lives.
The wreck- The wreck discovered by Robert Ballard in 1985 supports the swap theory. A stamp on the propeller of the Titanic read 401. This was the same number found on the propeller on the sunken ship. However, the propeller was previously switched from the Titanic to the Olympic as part of its repairs. Also supporting that the boat on the ocean floor is not the Titanic but the Olympic.
Lack of Media- Insurance scams and maritime fraud were common in the early 1900’s because of the lack of media coverage. It is very unlikely that a scam of this level could be pulled off today, but because there is only one video recording and very few photographs of the Titanic only the most observant person would have spotted the swap.
Evidence that the Titanic sank:
The wreck- Though the wreck supported the swap in some aspects it does not support it in more. The Titanic’s number 401 was found on my artifacts including furniture, and multiple other places on the ship. Was the scam really that detailed?
Differences between the ships- The swap theory is largely based on the similarities between the two ships but there were also many huge differences, including structural changes and aesthetic changes. The first class Deck A was enclosed by a glass screen on the Titanic. This deck was open on the Olympic. The Olympic had a 1st class promenade on Deck B while the Titanic had private verandas and suites. People were booked into these suites which would be impossible if the ship was actually the Olympic.
Loss of Reputation- Many sceptics of the swap theory believe that the loss of reputation for the White Star Line from one of their vessels sinking would be more devastating than the financial loss of the totalled Olympic. “The unsinkable ship” sinking on its maiden voyage would be a publicity disaster and lead customers away from the White Star Line. The intention of the White Star Line was to appeal to rich first class passengers who wanted a luxury and opulence during their travels.
Deliberately sinking a ship- First of all, the Titanic had been described as “unsinkable”. Purposely sinking a ship the size of the Titanic is no easy task. Only a freak set of circumstances could lead to its sinking. If their plan was discovered they would have been charged with the deaths of over 1500 people. Is it really worth risking jail for an insurance scam to save some money?
The Olympic after the Titanic- The Olympic or if the swap theory is true the Titanic, continued to serve for many years. It worked to transport troops during WWI. After the war it continued as a luxury liner during the 20s and 30s before being retired in 1935. In all the time since the sinking of the Titanic no evidence that the Olympic was actually the Titanic was ever found. Even in 1936 when the ship was dismantled for scrap there was no evidence that the ship was not the Olympic.

The Talon. We’ve Been Played: It was NOT the Titanic that sank.
amhsnewspaper.com/11216/news/weve-been-played-it-was-not-the-titanic-that-sank/
This house has nothing to do with the titanic. He was simply an investor that happened to have a loved one in board. There is no significant connection. He didn't build the damn ship he just kicked in some cash.
@@JohnRay1969 Excuse me Mr. Ray. It seems your opinion is more important than anyone else's.
I thought the same
@@aliinarousu I got the same rude comment from Stephen O
This would be a magnificent hotel. So beautiful and sad.
Too many single family residences in the area, not to mention a post office across the street. Kind of ruins the "High End Hotel" ambiance.
@@TheWebAdict - Or makes it viable. 😎👍🏼
@@Erin-Thor as an oversized Motel 6.
True, but laws now require fire escapes, dedicated HVAC systems (individual heat and AC for each room, not circulated as in a house), fire alarms and fire sprinklers, and major support facilities like laundry, accounting, etc. This would be a major investment. .
@@TheWebAdict - LOL! I’m thinking of the Hilton Hotel in Dallas that was allowed to run down by the franchise owners and were told they lost the Rights to use the Hilton name. So they changed it to Hiltop and motored on. How about Hotel 69? Nah, never mind. 🤣
When this place was built it was built to last forever. It's so sad to see this beautiful mansion in so much disrepair simply from neglect. I'm sure when it was built it was filled with light. Hopefully someone will see the potential and bring light and life back into it.
Hello GLynda how are you doing today
That place is gorgeous!! 55 bedrooms..even after a renovation, the constant updating/upkeep and maid service is unimaginable
Absolute craftsman built that place and now it’s rotting away. Very sad.
It's a shame that nothing has been done with that place, there is a lot of history there, hopefully something can be done to save it, thank you for sharing it is an awesome place!!!
Go get a million dollars and repair it and if you don't you should be ashamed of yourself
@@puertoriqueno24 - A million? Not even close. I thought he mentioned that the last estimate was 50 million to restore it. It is beautiful! But to bring it up to date, like as a resort or hotel... the cost staggers the imagination.
Maybe the history is all bad or even terrifying ??
I literally just brought this place yesterday
@@leerjet8784 really you bought it are you going to fix it up and live in it if you do could you send or show pics on CZcams please I love that mansion it's beautiful congrats
It will be nice if you can elaborate more on the history of the building. Why it was built the way it is, why it was abandoned, picture of the building before it was abandoned, surrounding landscape, neighbor comments, etc.
Love the fact that you were so respectful of the property
Like breaking and entering?
He left the book open, the key out of place, and broke in.
This proves one thing, you will NOT be able to take it with you when you go.
Precisely. What does it profit a man to inherit the whole earth, but forfeit his eternal soul?
BINGO 👍
Didn’t want to he left for future generations to enjoy
Then they can still haunt it 😀
Money can’t buy health, happiness and life
That thing with the drawers was a card catalog . They had them in libraries with cards in them you looked in there to find out where the book you were looking for was on the shelf in the library . They were filed by a numbering system called the dewy decimal system . I am lost in a library without those little files. It puts me in a certain age bracket
I can’t believe that had to be explained. I must be getting old.
Lol I was explaining this to my kids the other day
Interesting...he didn't know what it was 😉
OMGOSH I GUESS IM OLD AS WELL for knowing exactly what you are talking about as I use to use it....
Another old fart here! I remember that smell when you opened the drawers, paper and ink. And how the edges of the cards were always soft, having been worn down from generations of fingers flipping though them.
Beautiful place. I'm betting that no expense spared when building it. The servants likely had no heating in their rooms having to sleep &wake up in the cold in winter & hot in summer. If I was able I would restore it to it's original splendor. So many beautiful antiques left behind. Thank you for the tour!!
Hello Karen how are you doing today
Hello Karen how are you doing today
Can’t believe that there is no historical society in the ares trying to save this beautiful building. Beautiful and full of history and art, worth saving. Thank you for showing this. One suggestion, please pan the camera s l o w l y! I got dizzy a few times🤢
Exactly!
"$50 million to restore" would be the answer as to why abandoned?
I honestly don't think $50 million would cover it, to restore all that ornate design with gold leaf, etc.
Very sad.
@carolyn boyce indeed!
I don't even live in the Philadelphia region but this property is very well known on the east coast. The church (yes, I have a huge problem with churches owning property) will not let it go so it sits and every year that it has no maintenance it will continue to disintegrate. In the end it will probably be demolished. There should be a law against churches owning property only to let them fall into disrepair. And of course churches don't pay taxes.
@@IntriguedLioness Nobody gives a 💩 about how you feel about churches owning property. Maybe you shouldn’t own property? Why should you have rights?
That is the best and most in depth urban exploration I have ever seen of Lynnewood Hall...well done, you nailed it!! ❤️
Absolute jackpot!
The marble bathrooms, fireplaces, the mouldings, the fixtures, the architecture...so top notch, and we will never see the quality of this work ever again.
Can't bear it's being left to just die, it's so sad.
Me either. I wish so much they would re purpose them into anything besides letting them just rot. Such a shame. Especially since it is so old. They would be well worth remodeling and letting people tour them. I love stuff like that. So many things you could do with a beautiful building like this. Sad to see all work and beauty left to rot.
In this day and age with so many billionaires, 50 million dollars to restore it seems like play money. Come on billionaires, step up.
Well said
Don't wanna know about the heat and elictricity bill, plus the cleaning cost for 110 rooms every year besides the 50 Million for restore.
They might restore it and change it into an Museum. What do you think? Would love to visit that place myself
The US government should take it over , preserve for future generations to come people to visit , of course may be people won’t mind being charge for the visit
I don't think today's Billionaires see the beauty you see. I see it but can't afford to live in the stables/garage.
A billionaire could do it easily and then turn it into a museum and charge. Or give it to the government and make a national museum.
It is a fact that these old mansions are outrageously expensive to maintain but, the value of the history in them and the beauty of the architecture is well worth saving.
I love the book 'Flowers In Th Attic' and I have always tried to imagine what Foxworth Hall would look like. Except for the lack of the dual staircase and steep black slate roofs, this is as close to what my imagination pictured.
Haunting. I read it as a child.
Me too, brings back memories.
I loved those books growing up..
Great memories
I read that book when I was 14. I’m now 52. Yes, this house reminds me of what that house would look like.
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail of this video. It's not even as if Andrew's really went into great detail describing Foxworth Hall, so funny this is what I'm sure many people imagined.
Miss those books!!
I was just watching a Yes Theory vid, and one of the guys made a comment, “no matter how many abandoned places I visit, it never ceases to amaze me how many look like one day people were there and the very next day they were gone. A literal snapshot in time.” So many of those mementos in this vid were incredible!
The thing you were wondering about at 11:34 is a card catalog. Libraries used to use them do find books based on author, title, and topic before book catalogs were stored in a database and accessed on computers.
Thank you!
Yes I remember those from childhood.
Yes I was going to comment that!! Memories. So thankful we have computers now! Card catalogs were necessary to find any book but a pain especially if some naughty kid stole the one card you were looking for to find your book!!!
Also, it was used to check out books when I was growing up and when the card was full they would type up another one!
🤣🤣🤣 OMG!! That makes me sound bloody ancient! 😳🤣
I'm laying here at a friend's house for a few days, no place to call home, I've had no food for two days, and am broke as hell,and to think that there are ppl in this world who can afford places like this. Crazy the diversity of people living on the same planet. Very beautiful place. Thank you for sharing. Love to all, and praying for all the ppl in a struggle like me.
go get a damn job! everywhere is hiring because you head curb stomping generation are too spoiled for working.
Get a job
I can feel the hearts breaking of all the people who didn't do what they could've to preserve the heritage and legacy of the family patriarch. What could it be put to good use for now? $50M to renovate? Some kind of boarding house for HEB's perhaps?
The fact it is 121 years old and still well put together shows the quality was worth the cost of the time. Such a shame
Just fantastic! I have to confess I would feel so guilty living in such opulence with so many need just the basics. If I could I would re-do this place and make it a home for women and children who need to get away from a very bad bad man. A place to feel safe, catch your breath and start over again.
I agree totally with you Sue Robinson!
Exactly what I was thinking! So many people homeless and needing safe sanctuary!
That’s a kind thought.
What a place to house those trying to escape war torn countries...
EXACTLY
What a beautiful mansion I wish I had the money to buy it and restore it to its original glory I would love to see it in person.
I think if someone from one of those shows on HGTV(( the ones where the renovators actually cared about the story behind the house))got together with some investors and did like a 4part restoration project I'd definitely watch it. Wish I had some $ and knew how to restore I'd definitely take my time with this one
I would love to see that too. Unfortunately, it would take MILLIONS to get this back to its original state or even close. My husband and i have flipped a lot of houses and even the ones between 5,000-10,000 cost a LOT and because of the size require the right buyer. Its hard to find one once you get to those sizes since they can usually afford to do it themselves if they can afford that size but it would be an amazing restoration to see.
I think the Property Brothers could do it in 5-6 weeks and a minimal budget😂
The energy that I can see in that mansion is extremely dark.
I felt it too with all the kids stuff! 😥😩🥺
It’s because there’s no electricity.
Masonic checker board tile,pillars in front.
@@heyauthor133 Yes, I noticed that too. But usually the carpets would be red not green.
@@heyauthor133 , Did you notice the lay out of the mansion is an upside down cross? In deed, the original owner was freemason. But then again, what elite isn't? That's no secret.
A reminder that the beauty of this world is not eternal. Interesting history and architecture. Appreciated that verse you put at beginning of video...puts things into perspective
Awesome comment!
Thank- you for your honor and respect of historical places! It's good to see a younger person GET the importance of the past!
Agree ,perfect .
Could you even imagine how it would look when it was first built 🤯 I wish I could time travel 💛
This breaks me heart to see a once beautiful mansion that is now falling apart.
Thank you for doing this video. Even in its disrepair, it is still beautiful. Praying someone will save it !
What a treasure that you brought to us! You could close our eyes and see a magistrate, like an Andrew Carnegie or JD Rockafeller, in their office and/or having a morning shave in that bathroom. Aweseome job presenting this huge mansion to us!
Hello Linda how are you doing today
Imagine getting ready to leave, walking out front, sit down in the car, into the pocket for the keys, and.. no keys.. and now you've got to go 63 rooms in to get back to your bedroom to get the keys..
(like these folks drove themselves anywhere lol)
This was mind blowing and this mansion should be saved, refurbished to the best of its abililty knowing much has been lost through ownerships. I pray it is saved, restored, and made available to the public for a historical monument.
Hello Valerie how are you doing today
I can't stop watching! This is incredible! I watch other explorers but you are by far my favorite. I love how you pay attention to detail. And your love for the beautiful buildings just fills my heart!!!
I think it should be fully restored and turned into a grand museum for the Titanic victims and their families. Put it to good use!
It's really unfortunate that a connection to the Titanic was established. This man simply invested money to build the ship like many other wealthy people did. His actual story is far more interesting than the sunken Titanic that is irrelevant to this house or the millionaire who built it
Excellent idea
The majority of the passengers were European or Irish steerage.
@@bradmagnuson6963
Wrong A G A I N
I’ve been inside this building. I used to love across the street and I was always amazed at how massive the building was.
I hopped the fence one day and walked around. Amazing!! The guard dogs was throwing me off a bit lol
I can back a week later to shoot a music video outside the building with two ppl. The cops pulled up and explained to us how much the building was worth and the importance of it. Great day!
Oh my goodness !!! You actually lived across the road
I'm so jealous 😔 WOW that's incredible
@@biancamomot3980 Yeaaaa,everytime I drove by, Its so eye catching. I couldn't help but to explore. Now its about a 45 min drive away. But welllllll worth it. And across the street from this is the other portion of the mansion that allows visitors. Its amazing!!! I shot a few music videos to the mansion across the street which is connected to this one with the same owners I believe
I love looking at places like this and picturing them in their glory……thanks love
This mansion has a resident evil vibe! The woodworking is absolutely beautiful. One of the lost trades today unfortunately. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed the video.
I don't see evil. I see please fix me up. To restore would be tremendous.
Masonic influence, the checkerboard floor
@@ginakelley749 With out question. Then and now, all top elites are freemason. I noticed many masonic symbols through out the wall decals. Also, the mansion layout is an upside down cross.
I just started watching your videos a couple days ago and I like the content. This mansion is truly beautiful I didn't know it existed until I saw your video. So thanks for video bro! 👍 🇺🇲
I'm new to your channel and like you often say that you don't have words...me either. I am blown away, really. I can't believe these massive and beautiful mansions are abandoned. And I can't believe no one or a group of people, with some money, doesn't want to renovate them. This one especially, I mean wow. I've been watching your videos since yesterday afternoon and one of your subscribers said how she images these mansions when they were a family's home and they were filled with furniture and warmth. I've been doing the same thing and it almost makes you want to cry because of how cold and empty they look and probably feel now. I just also can't believe that you can just walk right through the front door. Blows my mind and I can't quit saying or thinking that. This mansion can't be left to crumble all the way to the ground. There has to be someone to help save it. So 😢 sad.
Beautiful mansion. Thank you for keeping the families story and mansion story alive
Thank you ! Absolutely class , real Luxury Home. I recognise the Furniture, Wall paneling, Gold leaf ( guilding) and hand carving, something I’ve been doing all my life.
There are still craftsmen in America, and around the world capable of restoring such a beautiful mansion!
Unfortunately, very few people, who can afford it , are not interested 🤷!
One of the best Mansions and ( abandoned ) and Mansions I’ve seen. The majority of “ modern day mansions “ are probably much more expensive, but could not be compared!!
Where is this place?
@@christineyoung44 Somewhere in America 🇺🇸.
@@christineyoung44 i think Yeadon Pennsylvania
Beautiful house. This one really needs to saved. Did you ask permission to get in? I really loved the marble; and the big bathrooms. A Canadian explorer was there a couple weeks ago and the house was sealed up with security. I'm glad you got in to see it. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
I was wondering the same! How'd they get in? And how has this place not been looted for all that marble, etc?
@@safetyfirst3132
The Faith Theological Seminary bought it in 1952 and sold off everything of great value to stay afloat. Surprised this much is left.
Thank you for sharing this old mansion!
Hello Tonie how are you doing today
This mansion is beautiful I hate to see it go to waste. Love ya'll for doing this
He didn't know what the card catalog was for the library room lol 🤣. I feel old.
It really pains me to see such beauty destroyed! It is I guess when I also look at castles or the pyramids! Thanks for showing, I know I’m not the only one to thoroughly enjoy it!
Hello Susan how are you doing today
This is mind blowing, one man’s desire to live like a King and he truly accomplished that feat! But nothing lasts forever!
Hello Zions how are you doing today
This just breaks my heart. Someone really needs to purchase this place and restore it. So few people have the respect these places demand. No-one builds like this anymore. We have already torn down the wonderful mansions in New York, losing massive amounts of history. So sad.
Just wanted to say my husband and I really enjoy the Bible verses you post with every video. It’s what made us subscribe to your channel! We enjoy your content, and the scripture you post makes it even better! Keep it up. :)
Same here. I’m a new subscriber and I subscribed because I too appreciate the scripture verses you include in your vlogs. Thank you from me too! Great job! 👍🏻🙂
Me too! Inspired me to watch him more
Bigots!😄
@@hudiscool4186 how are they bigoted for liking Bible verses. What a stupid comment.
@@hudiscool4186 Sadly you're the only bigot here.
Beautiful mansion, btw they're called Claw foot tub. Great job thanks
Such beautiful architecture. It’s be amazing to see a restoration crowd funded & restored to its original glory then used as an orphanage or secured home for those seeking shelter to escape an abusive home. As there are numerous homes for women/children but less than 2 in the entire us that will allow fathers attempting to leave the same situation where the mother is the abuser.
I drove by this place on my way to school for 4 years. The first time I saw it I turned around, pulled over and just stared at it for a while. It never lost its majesty year after year. Always wanted to go inside, thank you for the video!
This makes downton abbey look like a doll house!! Extremely beautiful. I think it will take a 150 million to restore PLUS another 50!
It would be perfect for a b and b and for weddings. And more. It has so much hope!
If someone had the money to buy this place and the money to restore it should make it into a bed & breakfast, also you are so respectful with your tutorials when exploring abandoned homes!!
Bed and breakfast???? Try a full fleged hotel......
I’m thinking private school
Maybe the Property Brothers can jump right at it. 5-6 weeks, a hundred thousand dollar budget. It’ll be good😂
What an amazing tour!!!! Makes you want to go back in time when it was full of life
Hello Deborah how are you doing today
So much beauty in this great place. Be nice to restore and possible make into a hotel. Have a partial museum inside showing the history of family and about the building. Also gifts shops could be set up inside of different parts of the building. A coffee shop. Many tourist would want to visit. Be a great investment. So much that can be done. Hope someone can save it and turn it into something great.
I agree and hold wedding and conferences extra.
@@valerielove9837 Hello Valerie how are you doing today
Had to laugh at "whatever thing is" about like 11:45 the room with books and shelves. That's a blast from the past. A card catalog before computers. I remember the conversion from manual to machine. Great share. Too bad it be used for a better purpose other than just sitting there rotting away. The same way it was built, on dreams, it's going down. So sad for such a beautiful building, time capsule, and with much history.
Hello Connie how are you doing today
This was a great video. Appreciate the Design & Architecture in this Mansion. It is a shame that it will just rot away with time , never to be preserved. Thank you for showing us.
Watching these videos make me realize that having things is just an accessory. Our time is the only most valuable thing we have. We need to start enjoying our life more instead of chasing material things.
So grateful to these abandoned mansions explorers making videos for us to see gives me enormous pleasure sae time sadness that these mansions are left to decay as time goes by, so very sad.
Absolutely amazing! This building looks very similar to the White House!
According to its Wikipedia page, the mansion was sold in February 2023 and is in the process of being restored!
Thank you for sharing & being respectful. Try pausing more often or going slower so your camera can focus. If it is too long a show then cut out some of the Junk shots. Who knows some benefit may come out of this huge building. Have fun.
I've watched a lot of Videos of abandoned Homes, You by far are the most soft spoken Man I have heard, You actually care about The places You go into. I Love Your video.
Hello Donna how are you doing today
Wow that mansion is beautiful. I hope someone comes along and restores it. The history is amazing.
Hello Holly how are you doing today
It's refreshing to a youth appreciate to grandeur of
The time six generations before him. Home is stunning.
The checkered floor is called a parquet floor. The little labeled drawer boxes in the library/gallery is a card catalog. And the tub is a claw foot tub.
Hello Tracey how are you doing today
All of my life I have had dreams of mansions like that being abandon. The dreams started before my awareness of mansions around three years old.
Beautiful home and amazing detail on everything. I wounder how long it took them to plan out every detail for every room. And you're right, they don't build homes like this anymore! Thanks for taking us along with you.
What an amazing ornate and stunning mansion. The foyer reminds me of Beauty and the Beast except that green carpet on the stairs look slightly out of place. This mansion would be a great place to film on location. I can see the staircase influence for the Titanic. WOW.
Hello Sarah how are you doing today
I've been binging many of your past episodes and this mansion was presented so well. Super camera work. Appreciate the lead in to the tour. It is an incredible property.
Hello Sonja how are you from Dallas
It's just sad that something so beautiful and grand like that is just deteriorating! That poor house just sits there empty, just rotting away! This may sound strange, but I really do feel an empathy with the house itself! It just sits there day after day, season after season, and year after year with no one there to enjoy it! It's too bad someone doesn't turn it into a hotel or something!
Couldn’t agree more I was JUST thinking that. It has Fairmont vibes
That is an amazing home! The bedroom/bathroom with adjacent room was the dressing room. The bigger bedrooms/bathroom with adjacent room was the sitting room. My grandparents had a really large home.
Hello Les how are you doing today

Love These Video's They Really Take You Back To That Age In Time.. Way Cool 🤔
Hello Linette how are you doing today
I love the scripture that you put on your videos! And I enjoy the mansions an all you put on the videos.
Why? That scripture is Jesus telling his disciples that he is preparing their place in Heaven. The absolute opposite of these worldly monuments to material possessions and obscene wealth. Think about it. Jesus said don't store your gifts where rats and moths will destroy them. This is what he meant. That scripture doesn't make sense.
excellent presentation !!!! I was looking for one like this. The building could be used as a Titanic museum.
It's depressing that something so beautiful is left to the decay of time. This place looks still in very good condition. I hope this historical building gets restored and used for something. Any kind of museum would do.
Really shocked to see that no one has been stripping this place clean. Those marbles hearths, or any of those antiques, restored, would be worth alot. That typewriter would of made a good momento though.
It's a card catalog, the heartbeat of every library decades ago. And thank you for clarifying for me that I am old, apparently very, very old. Well done tour.
Seriously outstanding this is the most extensive footage of the condition of the estate now amazing!
Hello Lizzie how are you doing today
Dude! That's an old fashioned card catalogue! @11:40 I had an oldschool librarian in first grade who taught us how to use those things, even tho they were quickly moving to microfilm at that time. Everything went on the internet shortly thereafter.
That's so adorable! You didn't even know what that was :D
I had to smile when he says whoa 1900 so old!

But this one is my favorite. I would love to see this one updated. God Bless all. Thank you and your team again.
Thank you for sharing.
That's actually not a checkered floor, it's called a Harlequin patterned tile (because it's set at a diagonal)
And it's a claw foot tub.
I'm so surprised you passed over the tall tank toilet! Those are so awesome!
Hello Tiny how are you doing today
That filing cabinet that you were wondering what it was, is what we used to use to find books in a library. You would look the cards up alphabetical and it would tell you where to find the book. They were filed numerically usually. And it’s called claw foot not toe. You can tell that the building was used over the years for many different things. I’m more interested in what is behind all the doors.
Hello Jo Ann how are you doing today
I can’t believe that no one has purchased this mansion and renovated for a hotel or condos.
A shame someone painted all the woodwork, but it could still be restored to all of its glory
My thoughts exactly
Yes Marlene H...they turned many old spacious mansions into roomy apartments in the Uk...
which has worked well...and people get to live in historic surrounds with parkland...early pics of the house and people are on the internet and the gardens around the building were spectacular...a Widener son built the
Hialeah racecourse which is beautiful with a lake and flamingoes ...from
memory its in Miami...anyway all worth checking out.
Hello Marlene how are you doing today
To me it is quite sad to see these historic mansions abandoned and left to rot and decay!
Hello Vonciel how are you from Dallas
Hello Vonciel how are you from Dallas
It’s amazing how relics from so long ago survive. Like that calendar from as far back as the year 2000
