    HAHAH! I laughed out loud when you scared yourself in the mirror. I've done the same thing.
    Wow, what a beautiful and huge house! I lost count of the number of bedrooms!
    26:35 oh would I love to have that mannequin! I've been looking for one like that for years!
    Thanks for the tour!

    The very back room (connected by the enclosed breezeway) was the original kitchen and the stairs would have been for the servant's quarters over the kitchen. Wonderful house!

    Definitely a huge home. And beautiful, too. Lots of memories! The rooms were all massive. I get the creepies seeing old wheelchairs. I bet the basement was where the horse groomers and tack room was. Can't believe there was a newspaper dated to 1927.

    Fabulous house! I’m thinking that the metal roof helped save the bones of it. If I had lots of money to restore it and if I could insulate it well, omg, I’d love to! That vintage wheelchair was something. I’m thinking that the basement did house horses at one point- it looked like there may have been a large door that was altered to be a wall. Thank you for looking up dates on the written materials and for the history on the house!

    Wow! This is a house! This goes on for miles, and how beautiful it is! We’re there outbuildings or are they all gone by now? That horsey smell permeates everything and if they were storing all the tack down there and maybe blankets or jackets for the horses that small will be there forever! I wonder if the disconnected part was housing for servants/ horse help/ jockeys or something…that stove was amazing! This one is a gem!

    IF that house could be salvaged, (which it probably could with very deep pockets), it would be a massive job to clean it out before any renovation assessment could even be done. Then too, imagine the costs for just heating such a massive house with no insulation! Sadly, I think it's time has passed.

    What an amazing home, such a waste I wish I could have such a home! The wheelchair is custom built for someone with a need for head supports and leg side supports. Very unusual, probably about 1900. It has the wire wheels but wood/wicker seating. I collect old wheelchairs, I am a quadriplegic and find our history especially equipment totally interesting. I have an 1860s chair with wood wheels and hand pounded frame. Thanks for being able to see such a home especially since I cannot get to your area due to my disability, be safe!

Hey here's an idea why not put together a CD for your loyal followers of "Kappy Bloopers" too cool. Including in the CD your fav expressions like "phew" or "Jeez Louise" I bet you'd make a bungle bro! LOL Yeah, I'm starting to binge-watch your videos, man! my wife likes them too it keeps me out of her hair! LOL Keep up the good did I say good, nay GREAT WORK Kap! May I ask a question? There's a rumor going around that mirror on the stair landing where you got the fright.... the rumor is you went back and looked back into that mirror and chanted.
