The Magnificent 100 year old Packed Abandoned Time Capsule House Down South in Virginia

  • This historic old building/ house originally began as a general store for the small railroad town which once was thriving in the late nineteenth century. In the early 1900’s many of the businesses and industries of the area dried up as more families moved to larger cities in search of more opportunity and better pay. This general store was once a bustling hub of the community, after the town dried up the store was converted into a home. The family would live in the home for decades until the final members of the family passed away in the 1970’s and was never moved back in. This place has been sitting crumbling away quietly in the woods for nearly 50 years now. Such a sad old place, glad I was able to document this old home before it’s consumed by nature.

    These are amazing Kappy. The first house felt sad to me. Someone’s treasures left behind due to them not being able to take them or others just don’t care. Someone’s dreams and happiness left to rot. We’re so thankful for you Kappy that you take the time to bring them to us before they’re gone for good. Both homes are great Kappy. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Stay safe!😊

    First house made me sad. The last resident had a lot of things that were important to them, but there was no one who cared after they were gone. I think it was a nice comfortable home at one time. The second house had a weird layout, but it always amazes me that often with fires parts of the structure can be destroyed but others are almost untouched. Thanks, Kappy be safe out there

    If you look on the left of the screen, at 9:25, you will see an orb on the left heading for the center of the screen. It is not a dust speck as they don't move that fast or in that way. I saw it earlier as well, but I'm too lazy to go find it, lol. I bet it is the little ole lady who had all the knick knacks. It killed me to see all those beautiful antiques rotting away.

    But especially the 1st one. Mainly because of the antiques. The wall rugs took me back to my Granny's place as a kid. Wish I had them now. They're expensive! The portable record player was exactly like the 1st one I ever had. (I'm old!) I even had a dressing table similar to the one in the upstairs bedroom. Too bad the 2nd one was in a fire.

The time of the beginnings to see the endurance of homes that kept and shared secrets. Different things did go on but they do leave evidence that these homes were used a lot, and they gave out do to the ravages of storms and changing times. 👍✅🕸🕷🐇🌿🍃🐿🐈🐕 Sometimes new little residents take a chance for shelter🏡

    They literally just walked away from this place taking nothing. There's SO many antiques in this house from many different eras. I wonder if there were any electric insulators in this house? That's my hobby, but I have a wide knowledge of many antiques in furniture and glassware. I was a brick and mortar store antique dealer in the 80s and 1990s, and now am an online dealer and collector.
    I see so many valuable things left behind here. Hopefully, if you see any insulators in future videos, you'll include them in your video.

    When the video first started I thought: "Oh, pretty porch!" and then when you walked in: "Let's have an estate sale!". I don't think the first house is sad, it's nice that the last occupant got to stay in their home as long as possible. They loved the place and all their possessions, even if it looks like a cluttered mess to us. I love it, too. There are so many interesting things to see I'll have to watch it a few times. Now, the second one was sad. Thank you for the upload, Kappy! Tell the owner's of the first one they need to have that estate sale, they'd make $$$ 😋

It's not in as good of shape as one on this video, but brought it home and it makes the best seat/chair cushion. Believe it or not. And I still see a lot of things in this house that people would buy. There's people looking for this stuff at yard sales/antique stores. Looks like people who lived here accumulated a lot over time, but it may not be the way they left it. You never know whose gotten in there and done what.?

    It does look like a general store with those doors, you are right!

    Neat old houses. First one looks abandoned since the 60's and the second one probably at least 30 yrs. I can only assume the owners died and no one wanted any of the stuff left. Such a shame some family didn't at least sell these houses to keep them occupied. In the first house I see the same kind of furniture my mother had in the early 60's when I was a small child.

    Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ the first houses in long for this world. The second house is quite interesting the way it's divided up. I noticed there was no electricity indoor running water. Been a long time since anyone occupied the second house. Thanks for bringing us this fine video Kappy 👍✌️🇺🇲

    I dunno but I think dolls and old weird toys in abandoned houses are a wee bit creepy for some reason .

    I know this isnt what your channel about, but at 3:27 in the video, it looks like a spirit orb comes from bottom left and disappears as it floats away. Awesome video! Thank you for documenting these beautiful old places before they decay away!❤
