    Lesley, I enjoy your show so much. As an older American, I'd like to help you understand a few things you've seen here, for future reference, because I really do hope you'll explore more homes here.
    1. The chair in the kitchen with folding stairs is multiple purpose. It's meant for a child, to bandage a knee, or cut his hair, or clean his ears. The child can rest his feet on the closest stair, and then as he gets older, on the lower stair. But it also serves as what we call a "step stool," a small ladder to help shorter people reach things on the top shelves of the kitchen cabinets.
    2. I know "Papa" is used for "Father" in many cultures, but not really here in the US so much. Here, "Papa" is an affectionate name for a grandfather. This lady clearly ran a "teleflora" shop, producing flower arrangements from her home for weddings, funerals, etc. Those tags would then go on the floral arrangements to honor the relations. For example, if grandchildren bought a flower arrangement for a grandfather's funeral, the "Papa" tag would be worked into those flowers.
    3. The stove - any time you see the tin vent pipes behind a stove, it is meant to vent out the gases. So it is either wood (very rare, but you still see some wood stoves in homes from the 1950's) or gas (either LNG or propane).
    4. The Eisenhower stamp - General Dwight D. Eisenhower led the American military force in Europe during WWII, and then became President of the US.

      Glad you commented. It was bugging me and I wanted to explain those things to them too. Also the heaters near the floor we always called base board heat. Grew up on Air Force bases and remember our houses always had these and the ones in the wall in the bathroom. They always made that clicking sound when you first turned them on. The smell of the dust burning off. Funny how you remember stuff like that. I’m 59

    When I drive past these old abandoned houses I try to imagine the people who lived there-the young bride-the children growing up-the dad leaving for work. It was once someone's pride and joy. As I am entering my later years in life I realize my treasured possessions will probably not mean much to my children and that is alright with me. They have their tastes that are not the same as mine. This house had some lovely furniture that you would think the family would have at least sold and I also wonder if maybe a grandchild had lived with them for a while-hence the child's clothing.

    The mystery chair with the steps was for the kitchen so a woman could reach the upper cabinets. They were popular in the 50's. Old people tend to use paper plates because they don't have the energy anymore to both cook up a meal and then wash dishes. The one room with the teleflora is from her flower shop and I assume that was her office. The birdhouses was probably a promotional piece for Mother's Day at one time.

I do use them because I can only stand for a short time and by the time I get done preparing a meal I’m wore out. My husband is 70 is had cancer, cemo, bone marrow transplant.

      Well it is probably out of the middle of nowhere in a semi dead town. But you would have though the kids would have sold it so they would not get stuck with the taxes. But being so close to the street is a turn off. Of course when the house was built it was probably just a dirt road. It is always best to either buy all the land you see around your home or move to a established areas. We had moved to several areas that were nice and quiet but because of growth the nice street with hardly any cars ended up with 6 lane hwy. The small grocery store about a block from us be taken down and have a Walmart to replace it. When we heard the Walmart we moved.

The first bedroom had such a beautiful vanity. Actually all that furniture in those c bedrooms were really nice. I’m guessing the blond bedroom set was 1950-1960’s.

For example you ask people how bad was crime it the 1980's qnd most will say it was fine. Yet the rate of crime was higher then it is today. While it maybe new in our young people lives most of understand if you look at history this country has had something every few years that effect people in a negative way. In the 1970's I remember my first bank account gave me 8% interest ( which should tell you how high interest was). In fact my first home mortgage was like 9% when I got my first mortgage in 1995.

    Leslie, you are truly an old soul! You speak with such reverence and nostalgia that it's hard to believe you're only 25.
    21:50 that hole (heat vent) through the floor tells me this house is quite old. That type of heat vent was used before the days of modern forms of heating, when fireplaces were used to heat the home. Because heat rises, holes with metal grates were installed to allow the heat to reach the upper floors.
    25:12 that's called a crocheted doily (doy-lee), and it's a beautiful hand-made piece.
    32:50 the toilet is raised because it was very likely added after indoor plumbing was invented, and space was needed for the piping beneath it. This home most likely had an outhouse when it was first built. That tiny room was probably originally a closet. *NOPE! Slight correction:* When you looked into the storage area under the eaves, the old toilet is sitting in there. It was a manual toilet that had to be emptied by hand, so that room was definitely a bathroom to begin with, but the more modern flush toilet was added later, and hence the need for the raised platform to accommodate the plumbing.
    38:30 that stringy bit hanging down is called a tassel.
    47:45 that turtle is full of holes to poke flowers into for a centrepiece on the table.

    It appears as though she was a florist. And she must’ve done it out of her house. The credit card thing with Tele Flores and that was a company you can order with. The green stuff that was in those pots, those you get wet and it soaks up the water and then you can put fresh flowers in them. Bless her little heart. The New York license plate was from 1929. And the turtle with all the holes in it was another implement for displaying flowers. Excellent tour. I’m surprise there’s so much stuff left in there. Thank you Lesley. Love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸

    this once certainly quite beautiful house is still looking very idyllic. - The beautiful lady in the 1960-ies fashion on your photo reminds
    me somehow of a filmstar of that period, because she is looking so very glamorous and attractive. - Hope to meet you and Danny soon!

    My parents had a chair like that. They used it for their younger grandchildren so they could sit at the table with the adults. The child was to big for a highchair yet to small for a regular chair. Phone books worked but were always slipping around. We would lower the steps to easily climb up to get to the seat. I'm not sure what those chairs were actually called. But that is what we used it for.

You could sit on them with the steps tucked underneath and when you needed a step ladder you just dragged it around and used the steps to reach something high in the cabinet. Thanks and keep it up.

  • @EvvynMe

    As I'm watching this right now, I wanted to correct some things I've seen so far. Danny was incorrect when he reprimanded Lesley regarding the chair saying it wasn't for climbing.The chair with the stairs IS for climbing or rather for stepping up such as on a ladder. The steps move out of the way and it makes into just a regular high (or tall) chair. My grandma had one when I was growing up and I'd love one now to reach my top cabinets.
    Also, please know that most Americans don't use paper plates and plastic utentils for their everyday meals. They're typically used for parties or large family gatherings where there might not be enough ordinary dishes and utensils.
