Rick, I totally agree with you. I know I am on someones youtube that says he is possessed and his place is haunted. I just go with it as like it is a movie. I dont believe in Ouji Boards, since growing up in the 60's and 70's with one that my sister had.
The part of the newspaper inside the wall (4:18 )says Harold Grey....Perhaps it is Harold Lincoln Gray (January 20, 1894 - May 9, 1968) was an American cartoonist, best known as the creator of the newspaper comic strip Little Orphan Annie.....i guess it is,looking closely ;)
It's very hard to date buildings like this just from looking at them because people in that part of the country didn't necessarily change their style of building for decades. Sometimes a house in KY, TN, NC, etc will appear to be an antebellum home with a center hall and exterior chimneys at both ends, but then you find out it was actually built in 1890 or even 1910. They just kept building them exactly the same way. This house was never a mansion with servants but more likely the home of a moderately successful farmer. The original section has a typically simple plan with a relatively wide center hall and matching rooms on each side, two per floor. It was a four room house basically. The stairs would have always started their rise near the front door, so if the front door of this place enters under the stairs rather than at the bottom (which is the impression I got from the video, though I may be wrong), then it probably wasn't the original front door, but the rear entrance instead. Sometimes new roads were built or old roads were relocated and back doors became front doors or vice versa. The two storey portico with the square brick columns is definitely not original to the house. The style is all wrong. It was probably added much more recently but someone wanting a "southern colonial". The "Williamsburg" scenic wallpaper in the upper hall dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s. The most original room in the house is the bedroom with the fireplace mantel. The mantel, shoe molding and chair rail are all original and would have been similarly done in every major room, with the downstairs rooms being slightly more fancy, as they would be seen by company. Between those elements, the simple cutout decoration at the ends of the stairs, and the straightforward front door surround with simple sidelights, I would guess the house dates to the late 1840s or 50s. The fancy doors shown on the first floor, though, are unusual. Not sure why they're so low, but the style looks like a homegrown version of some fancier federal design, which would mean the house was probably a bit older. So I'm guessing it actually dates slightly earlier, from the late 1830s perhaps, to about 1845. That's my guess anyway. If I had the address I would research it, and possibly find out I am completely wrong😚 Thanks for being so thorough in the video anyway. It was a pleasure to watch you guys exploring.
Ellen Gregory ... After watching this video, I tend to agree with you on the age of the house being from the mid 19th century when they would have made the bricks on site instead of buying them from a factory. When the original bricks are visible under the plaster, they look like they are handmade and in not very good condition as some exposed interior bricks of that age sometimes do. When bricks were made on site back then some of them would be made out of better clay or were fired harder than others. They would use the best ones for the exterior and the softer bricks on the interior and cover them with plaster for protection and good looks. Both the interior and exterior walls of this house are solid brick, a very beautiful house indeed!
Bekah, you really know how to video a place, you went slow and didn't miss anything that looked interesting. If you want to learn how to video, call Bekah!!!
Obviously someone that had money lived there.....wallpaper was very expensive back then and people did use newspaper to insulate the walls. Very good video especially the balcony.....we like to see the surroundings and look out the windows to imagine what they saw and possibly felt. Thank you both for taking your time and good work with the camera.....no jerking or making me dizzy like some post on here. Keep up the good work guys.
I loved this explore! I think that last room upstairs was the nursery or the children's room and that attic space with the fireplace was probably for the nanny or servants. Thank you for taking us along! You have a new fan!
I love how Bekah zooms in and catches the details...as an artist it's something I enjoy seeing,most people just zoom by the details Great work, wish there was backstory on places (without too much, so people dont go and ruin it)
I just went through a lot of trouble to sign up so I could comment here. I watch a bunch of videos (at work) and never felt compelled to comment on anything until now ... EXCELLENT CAMERA WORK BY BEKAH. I'm a big fan of (both) your works.
Rick and becca I love watching your videos, Rick very polite even when it's obvious nobody is living in the places you guys explore you, still knock on the door or ask if anyone is there...Personally I find that very respectful. Good job guys.
It's amazing how old Buildings are buildt to last through Decades sometimes Centuries! These Buildings have Character and History! Thankyou for the Video! I enjoyed it! Blessed Be! 🌛🌝🌜
Wow, you can just tell this house had such alot of beauty! I would be so curious to look up the history on this house! Loved this video, u did a great job!
Jeanie coudriet I know where it is,I have passed it so many times and wondered myself. It's right off of 31-E which use to be the main road that would take you to Nashville before interstate 65 was put in and across the street from this house just a stones throw was a train stop. It is also just about one mile north of the Tennessee state line.
yes back in the early 30 to 40's houses had 1' by1" boards for walls and they used news paper to keep the cold out! it's under all the rest of layers! they probably keep hay in there now or something else! 1960's playset! it's so sad to see a home like this just waist away!
I never leave comments on UA-cam videos, but I actually took some photos of this house yesterday with one of the descendants of the man who built this house in the early 1800’s. They called him “Brickhouse” Foster. The Fosters were a big name in this part of Kentucky. The man who showed me the house said that the house was built on a 5,000 acre plantation and the Fosters owned 20 slaves while living at the house. There’s a cemetery where Mr. Foster is buried behind it, and the slave quarters, I believe, are knocked down at this point. Also, others had moved into the house after, so that’s why you see the original wallpaper covered with more wallpaper as well as more “updated” light fixtures and such but the house is definitely at LEAST 200 years old-maybe a decade older.
You have some of the best camera work of any exploration channels. It is very well done and lets you see the details as though we were there with you. You have a pretty good selection of places that you've explored too.
Bekah is a talented videographer and photographer. She always finds the composition in her view where others only see decay and ruin. She'll zoom in on a wall of peeling paint and make it look like a piece of art. I see her some day publishing an art book of still shots taken during her explores.
A very nice video-Bekah has a nice, smooth way with the camera-she doesn't give your viewers vertigo! Thanks for filming that wonderful house. Enough is left to tell quite a bit of its history-common design of two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs, each heated by its own fireplace, with kitchen (and eventually a bathroom) added in back. Where you came in was actually the back porch-the grander front door with sidelights was behind you and faced the stairs. Newspaper was used for insulation of the newer rooms-the comic strip was probably Little Orphan Annie as that cartoon was one thing for which Harold Gray was well known. It looks like the house eventually fell on harder and harder times as those firing strips attest to the paneling that either was or would have been placed over those lovely plaster walls-even covering over one of the fireplaces. It looks like nearly everything of value was scavenged, like the banister and all but one mantel. And what a rock-solid foundation! What a beauty that house must have been in its prime! Please do consider wearing good ventilator masks-you're breathing in decades of invisible mold, bacteria, aerosolized animal and insect feces, dust, and ash that can manifest years from now in serious health issues which can be so entrenched by then that they could be difficult-if not impossible-to treat successfully. You're young and feel immortal right now, but you won't always be. :) Please pardon my intrusion but I'm a veterinarian and a mother and I know the effects of being exposed to and breathing in dangerous, "bad" air. Please be careful. And please keep making these terrific videos!
I just love this house! It feels like it has a real good vibe to it. It's so cozy and homey. Just imagine how great this house could be with a little love and interior design. The bricks just add extra charm, along with some hardwood floors. Just lovely. It probably had a chimney fire. Dont forget to have your chimneys cleaned regularly!
I love how you both are very cautious before going into a place, and I love how the camera woman really gets good shots of everything she's very professional keep up the good work both of you can't wait to see more of your stuff
I like how your so detailed with the info on the newspapers, its important that we have a better idea of how really old some of your findings are. and I also am pleased to see your both so res pectful of the belongings and other items that are sometimes left . thanks for sharing take care and be safe !!!
Thanks for being so brave!! I think you're right about the writing being very old... It's a custom for us paperhangers to date and sign our work on the bare wall.
many years ago, people used to insulate their homes with newspaper. that's why it's all over the walls. it's cool that you found a date on the papers. enjoyed your video. I'm a subscriber now. oh. the girl with you is very good h detailed with the camera.
This is called the Stagecoach Inn and it was on the old stage coach route from Louisville KY to Nashville TN, and it became an important stage coach stop in Allen Co, KY. Andrew Jackson was a frequent guest at the inn on his way from his home, the Hermitage, in Nashville to Washington, D. C. A US President stayed here and it was built around 1830, but the county doesn't show any interest in restoring it...
That was a beautiful home, the news papers on the wall were used to keep the heat in and of course the cold out, you guys are amazing, Bekah has such a small voice, so cute.
The old handwriting in pencil is totally legit. I used to live in a very old tiny house (mid 1800s) that had a huge house the same age on the property. Landlord paid me to scrape off old moldy wallpaper in the big house so it could be cleaned and painted. While doing this, I found very similar old handwriting on the original painted wall layer, someone was doing math as they were measuring the wallpaper. Neat old stuff.
I have actually been in this house, we briefly explored this house. Is is on a road we travel on to get into Tennessee from Scottsville, the home we originally a stop off for a stagecoach company the route from Tennessee to Kentucky. The it became a private farmhouse residence. It's located in Adolphus
From the wrought iron fence, large airy rooms this is from the 1800s. I love the lime green walls, it would have expensive wall paper in each room.a wealthy family originally built this brick mansion. It was updated later in the 60 or 70s. In its prime it would have been a magnificent home. Shame its in such repair and graffiti on walls. Only memories can live in this place now. Great explore. It passed thru many hands to get to this destruction.
This is a very, very old house. The two fireplaces downstairs probably looked like the one upstairs, but had been replaced with new brick and mantle somewhere along the line. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't built prior to the Civil War. You guys do a wonderful job with your videos!
That key board you saw at the bigining of the vídeo, was a wigie board to call spirits. Be very careful when you see that in old houses. The vídeo was great Rick, thanks very interesting!!!
This place is very old! That handwriting with the date you found above the door dated in the 1800's was probably authentic. The fireplace in the attic was the servants quarters. Amazing building! Too bad it's going to ruin. Great video!
That balcony though!! You guys are great! I love how whoever is filming takes time to look at the little stuff that so many others would just look over! Subscribed!
Yes, thanks - I had this idea a few days ago. I didn't think it was right to just have my name. I guess we never imagined many people would watch our videos, and didn't know she would be nearly as involved. She shoots most of the video and does way better than me at it!
Wow, really cool location, and fairly secluded property fronting vast open area. This property was well made, exquisite workmanship, craftsmanship, materials, and architectural features. Structures like this have not been made really since the latter 1920's/1930s , possible reasons: trend changes ie., , art decco period, the industrial revolution, war periods, and economic crisis of the depression area. Since then time and materials (scarcity and lack of the quality of these resources) moved forward each decade as evidenced to what you see being built and made even up to the current time period of today. Those days are gone never to be recovered again. So sad. Good Job, I love you both, though I don't know you. I so appreciate you and am grateful. The feat you have undertaken to share with so many without expectations or conditions is amazing. A fan from Honolulu, Hawaii xoxo
She finds some of the neatest things to record..Things you didn't even notice. She has a great eye,make sure she always goes with you ,she is asset to your videos! Wtg Bekah.
Wish you would have known to check the bed springs. On several occasions, I have found a piece of twine tied onto one of the springs. Newlyweds did this to signify they tied the knot.
I was in the firefighting field for some time And I can tell you there was massive damage to the second floor, a lot of the top layer of wall paper is black, not necessarily from the fire itself, but due to heat and smoke damage. Most of the fire looks like it was contained in one room but you can see evidence of it in the room with the toy oven. Looks like they might have started repairs and possibility was going to put in wall studding so they could cover with drywall , plaster, or wood. Maybe there was a structure issue or repairs were going to be to expensive... How popular was home insurance back in the day... Lol to bad, awesome place!
interesting how the big front room with fireplace is nearly the only room with a cleaner appearance on the floor; looks as of someone has been there recently. generally Victorian brick homes had multiple fireplaces due to only way home gets heated...
Looks like someone was fixing the place up, with all the wood panels, the wood beams to sheet-rock over and all the nails. Maybe they ran out of funds and couldn't finish and just abandoned it. What a shame, would have made a great home.
The "keyboard thing" is a Oujia Board. It is used to communicate with spirits of people who have passed or "others" who are entities which walk with the dead but were never alive themselves. Clearly someone is using this house for interesting forms of entertainment.
What a beautiful home. I'm sure there must be some rich history surrounding it. I was curious as to what the hole in the wall was at 18:35. The camera sort of past over it without examining it. Thanks again for taking us along.
I wish if people were going to enter places and film they would actually research the history and provide real facts. I pass this place all the time. So much more to the story.
that wasn't a keyboard that was a Ouija board.
should not have touched it
carnipicus ya know Ouji Boards are fake. My sister had one growing up. We played it all the time. Nothing ever happened.
I tend to believe this. People swear by it though. I think it's psychological
Rick, I totally agree with you. I know I am on someones youtube that says he is possessed and his place is haunted. I just go with it as like it is a movie. I dont believe in Ouji Boards, since growing up in the 60's and 70's with one that my sister had.
Miranda Brooks ~Exactly!!
thank you for sharing your videos. i really appreciate how your videos are filmed slowly and that you don't rush through the places you explore.

Love that you focus on the old newspaper & found a date. Also, the wall paper. Cool child's metal play kitchen set.

Thank you for the feedback. I think this is the first place we've found with a balcony.
I loved this explore! I think that last room upstairs was the nursery or the children's room and that attic space with the fireplace was probably for the nanny or servants. Thank you for taking us along! You have a new fan!
Gypsy Angel I agree, was probably the nursery / child's room attached to the main bedroom. Wow must have been 1 he'll of a house in its day.
Hebe Goncalves
There are only two bedrooms in the whole house. Why would they need servants and/or nannies?
I love how Bekah zooms in and catches the details...as an artist it's something I enjoy seeing,most people just zoom by the details Great work, wish there was backstory on places (without too much, so people dont go and ruin it)

Thx gene ! I think she's pretty good too :). My wife is amazing.
Glad you got to film inside. Loved the many layers of wallpaper and the children's kitchen playset.
Once again, I am struck by how good Bekah is becoming.
Love the attention to detail,most wiz right over stuff,drives me nuts, love it! Thanks!
they used newspapers for insulation. Thanks for the tour.👍
I bet this house was very pretty back in the day.
Rick and becca I love watching your videos, Rick very polite even when it's obvious nobody is living in the places you guys explore you, still knock on the door or ask if anyone is there...Personally I find that very respectful. Good job guys.

Exploring with Rick & Bekah 😊
I love you two always great finds. This one especially
I just love this house! It feels like it has a real good vibe to it. It's so cozy and homey. Just imagine how great this house could be with a little love and interior design. The bricks just add extra charm, along with some hardwood floors.
Just lovely.

I love the old wallpaper and the news wallpaper. It most had been a wonderful place in it's day. thanks
I love how you both are very cautious before going into a place, and I love how the camera woman really gets good shots of everything she's very professional keep up the good work both of you can't wait to see more of your stuff
You guys do such a great job! I love your attention to detail! Keep doing what you are doing, don't give up!
Bekah like your camera work. You have a good eye for details.
Thanks bill
House had to b gorgeous in it's prime. Looks like start to renovate, with wood frame over fireplace ( 13:05).
Great video, Thank you.
they could never duplicate such origional beauty as a old brick home would be awesome to see it restored great video !
wouldn't it be cool if these views could slowly fade into what they once were? Like in the end of Titanic..
I love your attention to detail. Thanks, guys, for awesome videos:)
@4:15 the line at the end of that comic strip; "Their home too. Now." Kind of symbolic!
I like how your so detailed with the info on the newspapers, its important that we have a better idea of how really old some of your findings are. and I also am pleased to see your both so res
pectful of the belongings and other items that are sometimes left . thanks for sharing take care and be safe !!!

i love this place! i cant believe you didnt recognize that as a home made ouija board! thats funny......any ways thanks for the tour! good video..
thanks for sharing, great camera woman too
Jacky Hawkins great old wall paper!
That was awesome the newspapers 1930s. Love the history. We'll be history one day.
The old handwriting in pencil is totally legit. I used to live in a very old tiny house (mid 1800s) that had a huge house the same age on the property.

Lots of fine woodwork in that magnificent old house that could be used even now. Beautiful hand carved wooden beams.
Bekah you are the BEST camera person on you tube. You and Rick always find really good explores and you do great filming.
She is definitely the best. :)
Love the intro~ beautiful shots & the music- perfect :)
Thanks. :)
Great explore! I love the way the camera person took the video! Yall work together really well.
Pretty cool, man. Keep the videos coming!
The metal children's kitchen appliances are from the 1950' s or 60's
My daughter was born in 1971, I ordered her the whole kitchen set same color from Sears in 1974.
From the wrought iron fence, large airy rooms this is from the 1800s. I love the lime green walls, it would have expensive wall paper in each room.a wealthy family originally built this brick mansion. It was updated later in the 60 or 70s.

Very cool video! Thank you♡
Bekka, you have such a sweet little voice! And have a calm slow hand!
I love her voice. It’s very cute.
Another beautiful home left to rot. We are such a wasteful nation. You two do a great job. TFS!
No prob. Loved the video and I will keep looking for my magnifying glass! LOL
how cool, Id love to go see those old homes, beauty thank you
This is a very, very old house. The two fireplaces downstairs probably looked like the one upstairs, but had been replaced with new brick and mantle somewhere along the line. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't built prior to the Civil War. You guys do a wonderful job with your videos!
that sun actually does shine brightly on that vintage home in ky
That key board you saw at the bigining of the vídeo, was a wigie board to call spirits. Be very careful when you see that in old houses. The vídeo was great Rick, thanks very interesting!!!
Very beautiful place! Great camera work!
This place is very old! That handwriting with the date you found above the door dated in the 1800's was probably authentic. The fireplace in the attic was the servants quarters. Amazing building! Too bad it's going to ruin. Great video!
That balcony though!! You guys are great! I love how whoever is filming takes time to look at the little stuff that so many others would just look over! Subscribed!
Thanks, my wife does the filming. She's awesome!
I agree. I love to see the details.
Since your wife is such an excellent videgrapher I think it's only fair to call yourselves Exploring with Rick and (insert wife's name), right?
Yes, thanks - I had this idea a few days ago. I didn't think it was right to just have my name. I guess we never imagined many people would watch our videos, and didn't know she would be nearly as involved. She shoots most of the video and does way better than me at it!
Gotta say I love you both! I subscribed BTW!
I love Bekah's calm responses to Rick's rambling. Bekah, are you sure you can put up with him for the next 70 years?
This was truly a magnificent find.
That keyboard thing is a homemade ouji board
Bet it once was a magnificent home!!!!!
Wow, really cool location, and fairly secluded property fronting vast open area. This property was well made, exquisite workmanship, craftsmanship, materials, and architectural features. Structures like this have not been made really since the latter 1920's/1930s , possible reasons: trend changes ie., , art decco period, the industrial revolution, war periods, and economic crisis of the depression area. Since then time and materials (scarcity and lack of the quality of these resources) moved forward each decade as evidenced to what you see being built and made even up to the current time period of today. Those days are gone never to be recovered again. So sad. Good Job, I love you both, though I don't know you. I so appreciate you and am grateful. The feat you have undertaken to share with so many without expectations or conditions is amazing. A fan from Honolulu, Hawaii xoxo
Thanks very much ! We love you too even though we don’t know you personally. We appreciate your comments :)
Great choice of music.
Thanks. Bekah made it herself.
She finds some of the neatest things to record..Things you didn't even notice. She has a great eye,make sure she always goes with you ,she is asset to your videos! Wtg Bekah.
Yep. She’s amazing.
Wish you would have known to check the bed springs.
On several occasions, I have found a piece of twine tied onto one of the springs. Newlyweds did this to signify they tied the knot.
you do an excellent job of videoing detail
I was in the firefighting field for some time And I can tell you there was massive damage to the second floor, a lot of the top layer of wall paper is black, not necessarily from the fire itself, but due to heat and smoke damage. Most of the fire looks like it was contained in one room but you can see evidence of it in the room with the toy oven. Looks like they might have started repairs and possibility was going to put in wall studding so they could cover with drywall , plaster, or wood. Maybe there was a structure issue or repairs were going to be to expensive... How popular was home insurance back in the day... Lol to bad, awesome place!
Beautiful
LOVE your channel ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

You do such a good person on the video ,keep it up

I live in Kentucky but never heard of this place before until now.

Large dog rescue
Looks like it was a beautiful house at one time.
interesting how the big front room with fireplace is nearly the only room with a cleaner appearance on the floor; looks as of someone has been there recently. generally Victorian brick homes had multiple fireplaces due to only way home gets heated...
The wrought iron fence is late 1800s
People always used old newspapers for backing before the new wallpaper went up! We did in the 1970's
Looks like someone was fixing the place up, with all the wood panels, the wood beams to sheet-rock over and all the nails. Maybe they ran out of funds and couldn't finish and just abandoned it. What a shame, would have made a great home.
The "keyboard thing" is a Oujia Board. It is used to communicate with spirits of people who have passed or "others" who are entities which walk with the dead but were never alive themselves. Clearly someone is using this house for interesting forms of entertainment.
My grandmother, dad, uncles and my aunt lived in this house when they moved back down here from Indiana.
Must of been REALY something in its day!
looks like a makeshift Ouija board in the first room only the #7 is missing
What a beautiful home. I'm sure there must be some rich history surrounding it. I was curious as to what the hole in the wall was at 18:35. The camera sort of past over it without examining it. Thanks again for taking us along.
That pencil writing is absolutely extraordinary.
Beautiful. It looks like it could still be restored, I hope someone does.
I wish if people were going to enter places and film they would actually research the history and provide real facts. I pass this place all the time. So much more to the story.
that house is cool musthave been abandoned for a hundred years or two ! cool house a d video !
Loved it you should look into tartarian mudflood architecture
