It a high-end interior with those details, with a nod to arts & crafts. Also, it breaks my heart!!! to see anything like this be demolished. it has value. Demo is the easy answer. Material for wall covering isn't as unusual as you might think. High end designers do this treatment frequently.
I mean, this one isn't guaranteed to be demolished, i just get the feeling it will be. Fingers crossed! Ya, pretty sure that's the first time i have upholstered walls before and i have been in a fair number of homes too. Maybe it is more popular in some areas compared to others. Thanks for the comment!!
I adore this house, I don't even mind it being blue! Fabric on the walls was very common, back in Victorian times and earlier. Someone obviously took that idea and ran with it, but the fabric here is all much newer and more like upholstery fabric. Early cloth wall coverings were never this heavy duty. Our next door neighbours had a double set of French doors made a couple of years ago by a true wood craftsman, and the price tag was almost $8,000. Imagine what it would cost today to recreate the ones you just showed us! I sound like a broken record, but I pray that somebody does an architectural salvage here before it's all destroyed. You can't get the base materials any more to do such lovely woodwork. Great find James! Cheers... Marian 🇨🇦 Sounds like it's on a very busy road though, which would be a deterrent to putting the energy into restoring this place.
Yes one of the previous owners had an upholstery business on the property and he did the wall coverings as well as all the woodwork apparently. Yup, they don't build them like this anymore, will be a shame to see this one go. Thanks Marian!!
What an amazing house! So many rooms. In the states, they take large, older houses like that one and turn them into apartments. It seems like that was what happened to there. Cat pee on hardwood floors is notoriously difficult to remove! I'm glad the previous owner of the building kept the molding, staircases, doors, and glass door knobs.
Ya, i think there were three separate apartments in this home. It isn't very common when places are out in the country like this one was but larger homes in the city generally end up that way. Thanks for the comment!!
What’s up buddy what a shame this place is not being saved so much details and about the clothe wall coverings that’s how it was done original my mom have a big Victorian home and it’s covered with beautiful clothe wall coverings take care buddy and thanks for ur video from ur friend ray in New York 🙏🏼❤️✌️
Gorgeous wood work and built in cabinets, I love the pocket doors and the charm!!!! This old farm house should be saved. Thank you for opening up all of the doors. Except the sick refrigerator!!! We could smell it all the way here in Calimesa, California 😆 🤣 😂
Got a love these big farm houses, big rooms, big windows, lots of detail, and this house is phenomenal!!! It’s a shame they demolish houses like this to put up some cheap condos or such 😡 cause they sure don’t build them like this anymore!!!!
The main house is really beautiful 😍 ❤ with the exception of the attic being mess up. I especially love that kitchen in the main floor and the other apartment is fairly nice as well
Congrats SS! What a sweet find. All that beautiful woodwork. Its hard to believe that nobody painted any of it over the years. Which is a good thing. I never understood painting over woodwork, especially like that. Those pocket doors, the old etched glass, stained glass, fireplace-what a beauty. How strange that fridge was off & full🤔Every time I moved, I took my food. It looks like they went to the grocery store. Regardless, great find
I am guessing this would be in Eastern Canada. Fabric on the walls is very French and often found in chateaus there. Beautiful home, would love the hardware off those doors. All our doors have lost their charm because most have been painted. I would love to think the developer would retain this house and build aound it rather than pull it down. They will salvage all the doors, fireplace mantals, stained and etched glass, etc. sell for pretty penny. Our home is very early 1900s built by an MLA, but we could not afford to list it. Thank you for sharing with us.
Sounds great except for the painted wood doors, you could always strip them and then restrain. Hopefully this one doesn't get demolished but because of its location and the fact it's not protected by heritage status, it most likely will. Thanks for the comment!!
It was fairly well maintained although there did seem to be a few cheaper renovations done over the years. The foundation is in very good shape and that's one of the most important parts. Thanks for the comment!!
Static spaces, this is my first time to see your channel I'm going to subscribe because I like the way you do your videos and this place is very beautiful the detail would the fabric on the walls used as wallpaper that was common back in those days I love the pocket doors in the walkways of the home the wood is very beautifully detailed and a very well kept up sorry to see this house go if it's going to be demolished it's just too bad that it couldn't be refurbished and maybe used again well thank you for sharing and God bless you
That house is pretty big. It looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to clean it up and make it livable again. The cat pee and mold would have to be the first things lol! That house has so many staircases. The hardwood floors, molding and doors just beautiful.
Ya the upholstery on the walls is not very common but i think i really liked it actually! Other than the fact that it probably absorbs a lot of odours. 😆 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
This literally, broke my heart 💔. I hate seeing beauty go down to the dozer because of development. It enrages me. Once this beauty goes, it is gone forever and we will NEVER get it back 😭
I think the “wall paper” is what tapestries were years ago. Not positive in that. I do know that it wasn’t always paper. I love this house. I hope somebody restores it. Beautiful!! ♥️♥️♥️ Who ever built that home put a lot of love into it. You can see that back in it’s time it was special!! 👍
Yes, definitely a really cool house for sure! The story goes, the owner had an upholstery business and he did all the walls himself, pretty cool eh? Thanks for the comment!!
I watch a lot of abandoned houses and every one is excited to see the glass door knobs so I thought I would let you know that you can get them at most hardware stores.
I don't know if i would actually want to have them but i think i get excited because I don't see them very often. That's interesting that they still sell them though, i will have to look next time I go. Thanks for the comment!!
This is the most livable abandoned house I have ever viewed. I hope it was not torn down. Btw, I once lived in a blue house. It was so easy to direct friends to the first time they would visit!
I can imagine, that colour really stands out! It hasn't been torn down yet, just boarded up but i am sure it's only a matter of time. Thanks for the comment!!
Thanks James! Another cool explore!! You can really find them!! Why on earth would they paint the brick 2 colors of blue??? Thankful they had better taste on the inside; by preserving woodwork, pocket doors, etc .. Like your openings & closings of explores. Appreciate your detailed pre-explore research of site. Glad you have gloves now ! Can't wait for more! Stay safe! Old girl in the USA🇺🇸
I think it was all the same blue, it's just that the exterior photos were taken at different times of the day under different conditions. I have always had gloves, i just don't always wear them. Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed it!!
Canada is trying to keep up with Australia in demolishing these old gorgeous homes, very sad indeed. Developers are a scourge on society that build cheap trash.
Ya, it doesn't surprise me that Australia is in the same boat. You can't blame the developers though, it's the government that is responsible for saving these places. Thanks for the comment!!
James🤦🏽♀️OMG… I was screaming…Don’t open the fridge…Don’t open the fridge…but you just had to didn’t you. I liked the second apartment with the clean fridge and electric still on…it had nice big rooms. The blue on the house didn’t look that bad…I’d love to buy it and fix it up…and yes…I’d keep the doors…they’re Beautiful. TFS🙏🏽
You know I have to always open the fridge! Oh the blue definitely looked good but the problem is painting brick is not a good idea. It stops the it from breathing and it can begin to rot from moisture getting trapped inside and when it starts to peel in about ten years, you have got a massive and expensive job trying to clean it off. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
This was an amazing house!! The woodwork , beautiful stairs, hardwood floors I could go on and on!!! Wonder what the original kitchen would have looked like? I’ve never seen fabric used for wallpaper. That’s a first for me!!! As always I really enjoyed your video!!! Be safe!!❤️. Pam
Ya this really was a special house, I quite enjoyed it too! So apparently one of the owners owned an upholstery business that operated out of the building in the back. He did the walls in the house while they were living there. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!
Fabric is often used for rental properties on the walls as it is easy to put up and easier to remove for the renters. Doing one wall makes it a feature of the room. Depending on the fabric used it can be a really cheap alternative to paper wall paper. You see this all across N. America in rental properties, fairly common. That 2x6 door is very nicely done and in keeping with the room it is in......not ghetto at all, just needs some stain and varnish to finish it, extremely well made too.
Brave man, the way you just charged right into that fridge as if it couldn't _possibly_ be the worst decision of the entire explore, lol! Respect! As for the fabric, I'm pretty sure that's just what they used to use for "wallpaper" before wallpaper was invented. Some folks just still like doin' it that way. Very nice house, still in very good shape. What a waste! 😕Thanks for the explore! Very enjoyable! 5/5 stars, would def recommend! 😉
I always have to see what's left in the fridge, it smells bad but usually not anything unbearable. I think the smell of a garbage truck when passing it on the street is way worse. 😂 A really nice house for sure. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
It is believed that the first wallpaper was created in China 200BC though popularity really began in the 1800's. The green flocked wallpaper seems to be from the 1960's made to look vintage though, of course, I'm not sure (but flocked was popular then). James pulled back a bit to show the old wallpaper and it's very similar to the newer. I noticed that in other rooms. Most of the newer decor looks to be from the 1990's.
Don't blame the developers for not protecting heritage though, they are just a business fulfilling a need. It's our elected officials who are responsible for choosing what is and isn't going to be saved. But i agree with you, this is one of those homes that should be saved. Thanks for the comment!!
Back in the day, it was a clothe, this must of been a very special house, cloth wallpaper was all the rage, and I love this site, please we want to see everything slower lol!!!!! Really U are respectable with the places U visit!!!!!
Cloth wall coverings may have been popular at one point in time but i certainly haven't come across many places that still have it. I'll try to slow down in the future. Thanks for the comment!!
The architectural details in this home are gorgeous! I love the French doors between the rooms, the pocket doors, the built in cabinets, all of it! It's heartbreaking that it's going to be torn down. I hope that someone familiar with those wall coverings will post something here. It looks like that fabric was plastered to those walls when they were plastered. It seems like something they might have done in the 1800's rather than the 1900's - but it doesn't look like it's very old at all. I guess it was just set up for separate living spaces on each floor and I guess the back stairs provided a separate entrance for the tenants on the upper floors? Anyway, thanks for sharing this beautiful old home with us!
Yes it was a definitely a cool place. There is more information but the upholstery covered walls in the description. One of the previous owners commented on another explorers video and they had owned an upholstery business that operated on the property. Thanks for the comment!!
The woodwork was beautiful. They really don’t build places with this kind of character anymore. It looked really charming until you mentioned the smell. A cat infestation *and* all the trash in the attic? It’d be hard to get rid of that. It’s sad that people just don’t take care of anything that isn’t theirs.
I couldn't believe all the great woodwork in there, such a great place! I don't know what the deal was with all the garbage maybe the people that lived there last weren't worried about leaving the home a mess. Whoever lived on the lower floors definitely had a few cats too many! Thanks for the comment!!
Another great one James. I was just rewatching the smoke damaged basement fire house (so eerie that one) again when I got the notification for this one. I was starting to get withdrawals as I have now caught up on all the vids haha. That full fridge 🤢 Disgusting and not to mention so wasteful when people are starving! I never understand why they don’t clear out the food when these places are vacated. See you in the next Static Space 🙂
@@StaticSpaces weekly is amazing I couldn’t ask for anything more. You clearly put a lot of work into them, which I know takes a lot of time. I could shake people who complain to content creators for not uploading as often as they think they should be. I forgot to add in my comment that I don’t like how they painted the brick on the outside. I can just imagine what it would look like if the paint was stripped.
Nice video, when did you film this? BTW.. I'm a little confused on the appearance of the place considering the 2021 calendar.. It seemed like the inside was already getting rough with everything peeling already.
I don't think it was abandoned for very long before my visit, maybe just a couple of months. There were vandals inside before me which is why the upholstery was coming off and it also explains the other vandalism. Thanks for the comment!!
Not stained glass . I believe it’s etched glass. Also fabric wallpaper is a thing. It was used pretty often in homes of well of people back in the day! Great video.
Oh didn't realise i said stained glass, etched glass would be the correct term i think. That's the first time i have ever seen upholstery as a wall covering before but will definitely keep an eye out for it in the future. Thanks for the comment!!
I think a 🍾BIG CONGRATS 🍾 is in order and for what you ask well 5000 subs, Thats what. Great work JH. I beleive this place is being demolished for roadway expansion. Its a shame. Big hugs. P.s. Brave for opening up the fridge. I could smell that through the screen. Yuck
It’s not so unusual to put fabric on the walls using liquid starch. This house is beautiful and seems to be in really nice shape. It does appear some squatters have made themselves at home and left behind their mess. Makes you wonder why a family would abandon such a nice place!
Seeing the upholstery on the walls was a first for me, i think it used to be more popular a few decades ago. The property was bought for redevelopment, so the owners didn't just up and leave the place. Thanks for the comment!!
Where is this house? I would love to buy it before it is torn down. I would love to live here. I love everything about it from what you shared. It looks to be my dream house. Thank you in advance.
@@StaticSpaces Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are correct. Moving it would be an expensive task...but it is a BEAUTIFUL home and I hope that it can be perserved and lived in by the right person. I appreciate your video. Thank you!!!
Wow 😳🤔 This house was quite a mixture of chaos and insanity 😆 . What in the world happen here? 🤪 I like real wood in homes so it had that going for it but unfortunately very bad decisions being made on all levels of what to construct inside the house with rooms/ different living sections. Really bizarre in my opinion.😬 I did enjoy the video it was interesting and I was left thinking where have these insane people gone to destroy a good house again 😂. Maybe the person who was coming up with what to construct and how as well as saying yeah this would look amazing together and very pleasant to the eye 👀 didn't finish thier degree on construction and design and appeal. Let's just throw everything together and call it a house with apartments 🥺🤔👎 Sad because I bet at one time it was a beautiful farm house ❤. Just my opinion to each their own. Very interesting Thanks for sharing ☺️
So the home was bought for redevelopment and will likely be demolished. I quite liked this house except for some of the updates, I felt it had a lot of character. Thank you very much for your comment!!
It seem the house just been repaired by flip house builder, but not yet been buyed by customer. And so become a litte bit abandoned. Location look near busy road, nice for family that love easy access.
Yes, i think the previous owners had turned it into apartments, there seemed to be three separate households. It likely won't ever be lived in again and unfortunately probably torn down. Thanks for the comment!!
Not sure if oil cloth has a non porous surface but from what I remember this upholstery was very porous and thick, more like heavy drapes or the fabric you find on older soft seated chairs. Thanks for the comment!!
I agree on painting over brick. They did that on my last house I sold, painted over lovely 1950s brick. Crying shame. Make it look more modern I guess. The flicked wallpaper was popular in very expensive establishments in the 1960s. Those pocket doors are incredible!!!
Well, i actually really do like that blue that they used but i agree with you, brick should never be painted, both for aesthetic and practical purposes. Thank you very much for the comment!!
This house seems to be in decent shape. The woodwork, GORGEOUS.
It definitely is, it's a shame it will likely be demolished! Thanks for the comment!!
Wowser!!! Love the woodwork, the pocket doors, and the fireplace! I'd move in to here in a heartbeat. Thanks for the great explore!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!!
I love farmhouses and this one is beautiful. It’s a shame if it gets demolished. Great video!
Thanks very much, glad you liked it!!
It a high-end interior with those details, with a nod to arts & crafts. Also, it breaks my heart!!! to see anything like this be demolished. it has value. Demo is the easy answer. Material for wall covering isn't as unusual as you might think. High end designers do this treatment frequently.
I mean, this one isn't guaranteed to be demolished, i just get the feeling it will be. Fingers crossed! Ya, pretty sure that's the first time i have upholstered walls before and i have been in a fair number of homes too. Maybe it is more popular in some areas compared to others. Thanks for the comment!!
What a house ! The beautiful woodwork, pocket doors etc. Shame it just sits there
Oh definitely, was amazing! Thanks for commenting!!
I adore this house, I don't even mind it being blue!
Fabric on the walls was very common, back in Victorian times and earlier. Someone obviously took that idea and ran with it, but the fabric here is all much newer and more like upholstery fabric. Early cloth wall coverings were never this heavy duty.
Our next door neighbours had a double set of French doors made a couple of years ago by a true wood craftsman, and the price tag was almost $8,000. Imagine what it would cost today to recreate the ones you just showed us! I sound like a broken record, but I pray that somebody does an architectural salvage here before it's all destroyed. You can't get the base materials any more to do such lovely woodwork.
Great find James!
Cheers...
Marian 🇨🇦
Sounds like it's on a very busy road though, which would be a deterrent to putting the energy into restoring this place.
Yes one of the previous owners had an upholstery business on the property and he did the wall coverings as well as all the woodwork apparently. Yup, they don't build them like this anymore, will be a shame to see this one go. Thanks Marian!!
My hearts dream!! And they get thrown down like garbage! Love your videos.keep those beautiful homes coming!!❤️
Thank you very much!!
dude , the video about the abandoned at christmas house blew up, 3 days ago you had 4,900 subs ,now you reached 5,000, congrats.
Yes, it did. Gained about 3500 subs and over 200k views on that video in a couple weeks. It was pretty exciting!!
What an amazing house! So many rooms. In the states, they take large, older houses like that one and turn them into apartments. It seems like that was what happened to there.

What’s up buddy what a shame this place is not being saved so much details and about the clothe wall coverings that’s how it was done original my mom have a big Victorian home and it’s covered with beautiful clothe wall coverings take care buddy and thanks for ur video from ur friend ray in New York 🙏🏼❤️✌️
Sounds like your mom has great taste in houses. Thanks Raymond!!
Love that place with all the wood work, little bit of TLC and someone could have a nice home
Ya, it wouldn't really take too much to get it back to a liveable standard. Thanks a lot for the comment!!
I liked it. All that wood was beautiful. Thanks for taking me along, bonus I didn’t have to smell it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I was surprised something that was so recently abandoned smelled so bad. Thanks for the comment!!
Hi 😌 James ! A little clean up ,a little fix up ,a little TLC and this Beautiful house would be mine !! Hahaha I wish !! Thanks for taking me along !
Oh ya, this one was still in very good condition, almost move in ready. Happy you liked it and thanks a lot for commenting!!
Gorgeous wood work and built in cabinets, I love the pocket doors and the charm!!!! This old farm house should be saved. Thank you for opening up all of the doors. Except the sick refrigerator!!! We could smell it all the way here in Calimesa, California 😆 🤣 😂
Yes, this really is an amazing house, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!!
Got a love these big farm houses, big rooms, big windows, lots of detail, and this house is phenomenal!!!
It’s a shame they demolish houses like this to put up some cheap condos or such 😡 cause they sure don’t build them like this anymore!!!!

The main house is really beautiful 😍 ❤ with the exception of the attic being mess up. I especially love that kitchen in the main floor and the other apartment is fairly nice as well
Yes, i quite liked the main and second floors, all the wood and wall coverings were great! Thanks for the comment!!
Great video! Glad to see this place. Congrats on the 5k 👍👍
Thank you very much RP!!

Such a beautiful home. Thanks for the interesting tour!
Agreed. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
I am guessing this would be in Eastern Canada. Fabric on the walls is very French and often found in chateaus there. Beautiful home, would love the hardware off those doors.

Ya, the roof is holding up pretty well on this one. What do you mean, doesn't everyone like the smell of cat pee? Lol Thanks for the comment!!
Gorgeous minus the road noise. I would love to live there.
Yes, it was a bit loud but it's something a person could get used to i think. Thanks for the comment!!
I absolutely loved the kitchen! All that storage and beautiful wood! The fabric wallpaper had me stumped though. I have never seen that.
Ya the upholstery on the walls is not very common but i think i really liked it actually! Other than the fact that it probably absorbs a lot of odours. 😆 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
Wow, beautiful old home! Hopefully, someone will buy it and restitution to its former beauty.
I somehow doubt it, it's likely going to be demolished. Thanks for the comment!!
Not yet it's not
This literally, broke my heart 💔. I hate seeing beauty go down to the dozer because of development. It enrages me. Once this beauty goes, it is gone forever and we will NEVER get it back 😭
There are no imminent plans for demolition at this point so it's not guaranteed that's going to happen. Thanks for the comment!!
That place had nice updates but at least they left some of the old charm very cool 😎👍
Ya, still had a lot of the homes original character thankfully! Thanks for the comments!!
I think the “wall paper” is what tapestries were years ago. Not positive in that. I do know that it wasn’t always paper. I love this house. I hope somebody restores it. Beautiful!! ♥️♥️♥️
Who ever built that home put a lot of love into it. You can see that back in it’s time it was special!! 👍
Yes, definitely a really cool house for sure! The story goes, the owner had an upholstery business and he did all the walls himself, pretty cool eh? Thanks for the comment!!
I think that small bathroom off the dinning room was originally the butlers pantry . They just turned it into a bathroom
I think you are probably right a few people have mentioned that now. Thanks for the comment!!
I watch a lot of abandoned houses and every one is excited to see the glass door knobs so I thought I would let you know that you can get them at most hardware stores.
I don't know if i would actually want to have them but i think i get excited because I don't see them very often. That's interesting that they still sell them though, i will have to look next time I go. Thanks for the comment!!
What a gorgeous home, it would be heartbreaking to see this house destroyed I hope someone would save it.
Hopefully, i don't know what will happen to this house for sure but it may end up being saved. Thanks for the comment!!
This is the most livable abandoned house I have ever viewed. I hope it was not torn down. Btw, I once lived in a blue house. It was so easy to direct friends to the first time they would visit!
I can imagine, that colour really stands out! It hasn't been torn down yet, just boarded up but i am sure it's only a matter of time. Thanks for the comment!!
love the blue and white color our house was built in 1949
The blue really is striking! Thanks very much for the comment!!
Thanks James! Another cool explore!! You can really find them!! Why on earth would they paint the brick 2 colors of blue??? Thankful they had better taste on the inside; by preserving woodwork, pocket doors, etc ..
Like your openings & closings of explores. Appreciate your detailed pre-explore research of site.

Ya, this really was a great home. Thanks for the comment!!
I love this old house it’s beautiful.

Oh no! Developers are widely known to be destructive - this property needs to be on the historical list to keep greedy developers AWAY!
Don't blame the developers for not protecting heritage though, they are just a business fulfilling a need. It's our elected officials who are responsible for choosing what is and isn't going to be saved. But i agree with you, this is one of those homes that should be saved. Thanks for the comment!!
Hi James 👋 This house got so many rooms to look at and a lot of space too 😊 I love it 🌟
It was a really interesting house especially with so many of its original elements in tact. Thanks for the comment!!
You are welcome James 😁
Back in the day, it was a clothe, this must of been a very special house, cloth wallpaper was all the rage, and I love this site, please we want to see everything slower lol!!!!! Really U are respectable with the places U visit!!!!!
Cloth wall coverings may have been popular at one point in time but i certainly haven't come across many places that still have it. I'll try to slow down in the future. Thanks for the comment!!
The mystery Fridge your very brave! LOL
I almost always open the fridges and freezers, I just have to know what's inside. Thanks so much for your comment!!
Wow James this place is very cool 👍 Thank you for sharing this one too 😁 Awesome find as well 😳 I really enjoyed this one very much ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it Fawn!!
You are so welcome James 😎
The architectural details in this home are gorgeous! I love the French doors between the rooms, the pocket doors, the built in cabinets, all of it! It's heartbreaking that it's going to be torn down. I hope that someone familiar with those wall coverings will post something here. It looks like that fabric was plastered to those walls when they were plastered. It seems like something they might have done in the 1800's rather than the 1900's - but it doesn't look like it's very old at all. I guess it was just set up for separate living spaces on each floor and I guess the back stairs provided a separate entrance for the tenants on the upper floors? Anyway, thanks for sharing this beautiful old home with us!
Yes it was a definitely a cool place. There is more information but the upholstery covered walls in the description. One of the previous owners commented on another explorers video and they had owned an upholstery business that operated on the property. Thanks for the comment!!
LOVED this house!! Especially the ATTIC...I'm so sad that this will probably be demolished by a developer🏡🥺😰😔
Was a really nice one. Thanks for the comment!!
The woodwork was beautiful. They really don’t build places with this kind of character anymore. It looked really charming until you mentioned the smell. A cat infestation *and* all the trash in the attic? It’d be hard to get rid of that. It’s sad that people just don’t take care of anything that isn’t theirs.
I couldn't believe all the great woodwork in there, such a great place! I don't know what the deal was with all the garbage maybe the people that lived there last weren't worried about leaving the home a mess. Whoever lived on the lower floors definitely had a few cats too many! Thanks for the comment!!
I'm pretty sure I've seen this home on another blog. I love the 6 paneled doors❤️.
Never seen pocket doors with glass in them.wow
Ya, they were great! Thanks for watching!!
Nice fine .👍
"What I do, I was compelled to do!" (Opens fridge. Immediately regrets.)
Another fabulous old house that's sadly going to be demolished I imagine.
I have to! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for the comment CTG!!
Love it,so beautiful! Why don’t someone renovate it? I hope they do. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was bought for redevelopment, i have a feeling it will eventually be demolished unfortunately! Thanks for the comment!!
Worth saving! Hope someone takes it on.
I hope so too, it was an amazing house but i won't hold my breath! Thanks for the comment!!
Great job for the tour. Can’t wait to see others
Thank you, glad you liked it!!
Mighty impressive shed
Definitely!
Very nice...beautiful
Thanks for the comment!!
E muito linda essa mancão o detalhe das parede muito linda amadeiramento é um espetáculo parabéns ❤️ pelo seu trabalho
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for sharing its beautiful
No problem, it's a pretty amazing house!!
Another great one James. I was just rewatching the smoke damaged basement fire house (so eerie that one) again when I got the notification for this one. I was starting to get withdrawals as I have now caught up on all the vids haha. That full fridge 🤢 Disgusting and not to mention so wasteful when people are starving! I never understand why they don’t clear out the food when these places are vacated. See you in the next Static Space 🙂
Thanks Stephanie glad you liked the video!! I release them weekly and if i had the time to do more than that i would!
@@StaticSpaces weekly is amazing I couldn’t ask for anything more. You clearly put a lot of work into them, which I know takes a lot of time. I could shake people who complain to content creators for not uploading as often as they think they should be. I forgot to add in my comment that I don’t like how they painted the brick on the outside. I can just imagine what it would look like if the paint was stripped.
I love old stairs!
Really beautiful place, thank you for sharing
No problem! Thanks for the comment!!
Nice video, when did you film this? BTW.. I'm a little confused on the appearance of the place considering the 2021 calendar.. It seemed like the inside was already getting rough with everything peeling already.
I don't think it was abandoned for very long before my visit, maybe just a couple of months. There were vandals inside before me which is why the upholstery was coming off and it also explains the other vandalism. Thanks for the comment!!
Awesome house ❤️
Ya, it was a fun place to explore, thanks!!
💜🐷💜 Beautiful house. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
I wish I had a partner to visit places like these!
Cloth walls is really interesting!
I thought so too, never seen that before!
Great explore without the unnecessary drama of the Euro kids explorers - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video!! I don't generally watch exploring videos, what drama do you mean?
Not stained glass . I believe it’s etched glass. Also fabric wallpaper is a thing. It was used pretty often in homes of well of people back in the day! Great video.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. TIA
Oh didn't realise i said stained glass, etched glass would be the correct term i think. That's the first time i have ever seen upholstery as a wall covering before but will definitely keep an eye out for it in the future. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces I got your back my friend. I hope I don’t come across as critical.
Not at all, i get all kinds of critical comments and this isn't one of them
@@StaticSpaces you are my fave explorer
Id say it was squatters cause the house is in such pristine shape
I think you may be right. Thanks for the comment!!
nice, as always!
Thank you!!
I think a 🍾BIG CONGRATS 🍾 is in order and for what you ask well 5000 subs, Thats what. Great work JH. I beleive this place is being demolished for roadway expansion. Its a shame. Big hugs.
P.s. Brave for opening up the fridge. I could smell that through the screen. Yuck
I guess it could be for roadway expansion, I'm not too sure, didn't find anything about it in my research. Thank you Kimmy!!
i love this house! what a shame it’s going to be torn down
Certainly is a great one! Thanks for the comment!!
Man plans, God finishes!✋🍻
Your like to dislike ratio is godlike man. Keep it up!
Thanks for the comment!!
Beautiful house. Some one could make it theirs with little fixing up.
Oh most definitely, still a lot of life left in it! Thanks for the comment!!
It’s not so unusual to put fabric on the walls using liquid starch. This house is beautiful and seems to be in really nice shape. It does appear some squatters have made themselves at home and left behind their mess. Makes you wonder why a family would abandon such a nice place!
Seeing the upholstery on the walls was a first for me, i think it used to be more popular a few decades ago. The property was bought for redevelopment, so the owners didn't just up and leave the place. Thanks for the comment!!
Where is this house? I would love to buy it before it is torn down. I would love to live here. I love everything about it from what you shared. It looks to be my dream house. Thank you in advance.
It's in Canada but the owners wouldn't sell unless you were willing to move it and that is an expensive task. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are correct. Moving it would be an expensive task...but it is a BEAUTIFUL home and I hope that it can be perserved and lived in by the right person. I appreciate your video. Thank you!!!
I hope this house is still there
It's still there alright but it has been completely boarded up now. Thanks for the comment!!
I love the first house
Ya, it was amazing!! The other one wasn't a house, it was more of a shed converted into an apartment! Lol Thanks for the comment!!
Oh they left a lot of the old charm
Crazy electricity still on. Huge house.
Yes, it was a large house, they probably had a big family with a couple of generations living there. Thanks for the comment!!
Beautiful, I bet there was a hidden door under the stairs
I don't think so, there was a closet in the kitchen which went under the stairs, although it may not have used all the space. Thanks for the comment!!
Nice! What State was this one in? Ty
🦋
Canada. Thanks for watching!!
Wow 😳🤔
This house was quite a mixture of chaos and insanity 😆 . What in the world happen here? 🤪
I like real wood in homes so it had that going for it but unfortunately very bad decisions being made on all levels of what to construct inside the house with rooms/ different living sections. Really bizarre in my opinion.😬
I did enjoy the video it was interesting and I was left thinking where have these insane people gone to destroy a good house again 😂.
Maybe the person who was coming up with what to construct and how as well as saying yeah this would look amazing together and very pleasant to the eye 👀 didn't finish thier degree on construction and design and appeal.
Let's just throw everything together and call it a house with apartments 🥺🤔👎
Sad because I bet at one time it was a beautiful farm house ❤.
Just my opinion to each their own.
Very interesting
Thanks for sharing ☺️
So the home was bought for redevelopment and will likely be demolished. I quite liked this house except for some of the updates, I felt it had a lot of character. Thank you very much for your comment!!
It seem the house just been repaired by flip house builder, but not yet been buyed by customer. And so become a litte bit abandoned. Location look near busy road, nice for family that love easy access.
Yes, i think the previous owners had turned it into apartments, there seemed to be three separate households. It likely won't ever be lived in again and unfortunately probably torn down. Thanks for the comment!!
I want to buy this home!
I would love to live there
Thanks for the comment!!
cool video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!!
Love it
Thank you very much!!
Damn! How many kitchens are there?
I believe the location was separated into 3 separate apartments, so three kitchens total. Thanks for the comment!!
Another beautiful house to be destroyed , what’s wrong with developers ? All’s they build is cardboard crap and they build them to close together.
That place was killer I wish it was mine
Yes, it was a really nice home, glad you enjoyed it!!
That is oil cloth very washable .
Not sure if oil cloth has a non porous surface but from what I remember this upholstery was very porous and thick, more like heavy drapes or the fabric you find on older soft seated chairs. Thanks for the comment!!
HOPE THEY SALVAGE THE GOOD STUFF
I’ll never understand why people paint brick!!!
Hahaha yup! Thanks for watching!!
I agree on painting over brick. They did that on my last house I sold, painted over lovely 1950s brick. Crying shame. Make it look more modern I guess. The flicked wallpaper was popular in very expensive establishments in the 1960s. Those pocket doors are incredible!!!
Yes, why would you cover up all that lovely old brick with that ghastly blue ?
Well, i actually really do like that blue that they used but i agree with you, brick should never be painted, both for aesthetic and practical purposes. Thank you very much for the comment!!
