    Dude that fridge was dope! I looked into a little and that company stopped making fridges in 1956, so safe to say that puppy is pretty freakin old

      Yessir, 1926 to 1956 was the length of their product line's run! Crazy to think that this refrigerator was likely purchased during that timeframe!

      Definitely the news paper are much newer than anything else in that house.
      I'm thinking it was abandoned in the 80s but someone older owned it.

    Loved seeing all that old stuff. Can't believe there's so much still in there being on a main road.I would have to agree the house was abandoned in the 80s too. Either way awesome video!!!

    Nice walkthrough J-Man - I was really surprised to see an intact TV and toilet, usually those things are destroyed by vandals. I think that chimney may have been used for a wood stove or something - it looked like there was an inlet to connect one. Also noted there wasn't any graffiti either. Definitely curious about its history! Thanks for sharing!!

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much for tuning in as always! You’re right, usually at abandoned homes, everything is destroyed and vandalized-this one was surprisingly intact, and in pretty solid condition despite its age!

  • @suede2575
    @suede2575 3 місяці тому +3

    It was probably and elderly person that owned it because the only thing newer than 1970 is the news papers. Older furnaces needed a chimney

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому +3

      I agree, that’s exactly what I was thinking! It was likely owned by an elderly person up until the 1980s, who had a collection of antiques he purchased over the years.

    • @suede2575
      @suede2575 3 місяці тому

      @j-mass I work with the elderly I did work in Massachusetts up until a few years ago and I've been in houses with these appliances still in work order! Those from the silent generation rarely ever thew anything away they just keep fixing it!

    Went to overnight summer camp in this town for two seasons. Way back in 1972- 1973. I think I remember this house on one of our outings, but honestly I can’t recall. The video gave me some strange feelings, in a good way or not , I can’t tell! Some spooky shit, and thanks for another great episode 😯

    • @j-mass

    Me too! Loved seeing the wall paper left behind! Cool find! The Health book you found from 1949 was only 25 cents! The chimney was used in the kitchen as a coal or wood stove. You can see the circular opening on the upper wall for the vent pipe

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому

      Oh wow, 25 cents! That’s wild! That was such a cool find, one of the oldest dated books I’ve discovered so far! And interesting tidbit about the chimney, thanks!

  • @uncleruckus6692
    @uncleruckus6692 3 місяці тому +1

    “Fire place” or furnace is more than likely in the basement. The house I grew up in (in MA, nonetheless) was built around the same time this abandon house was and converted over to an oil furnace in the 1920s which was quite common to do.

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому

      That makes sense! I wasn’t able to get down into the basement, just because of how structurally unstable the stairs were, so I never actually got to see if the furnace was down there-but that makes perfect sense to me!

    • @honeythunder

      That fireplace is the right size for a wood stove. That hole in the chimney was for the smoke.

    Pretty amazing explore. Small but it has a lot of stuff. The refrigerator is pretty cool. It runs on propane and uses something called ammonia absorption technology. There is a market for vintage examples. I often wonder about places like this. It’s in rough shape but some of the stuff inside is worth money. My guess is abandoned in the 80s. That Sharp TV is 70s/80s vintage and there isn’t even an old computer in the place. Definitely a fun explore. Be careful.

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому +1

    The portable black and white tv shown, is the same make and model as the one I bought for my parents in 1978. To get better reception, my dad put a piece of tin foil at the very tip of the antenna. My mom being the wise guy she was, would tell my dad to hold the antenna so the reception would be better so once he took a picture of his hand holding the antenna and taped it to it. That was the last time she said anything about it. 😂

    Watching this now!! Never heard of Otis, MA. 124 years of this house still standing is nuts. The inside looks so fucked up but pretty interesting nonetheless!

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  3 місяці тому

      Yeah Otis is a pretty small town in the Berkshires! And this place had so many antiques, even if it was a bit cluttered inside!

    • @JamesDCornette
      @JamesDCornette 3 місяці тому

      124 years isn't that uncommon. The 3 decker apartment I had in main south Worcester was built just after the Civil War in the 1870s. Anyway, it had lots of immaculate stained glass on the front stairs and somehow functional gasoliers as the last remodel was in the mid 1950s. Built to last.

    I went to stone middle school because they were rebuilding the middle school in Bourne during that time. Some of us went to stone middle school and I think the other one across the way was Lyle middle school or something.

    Damn. That wasn't a hoarder house, that was just trashed. I felt like I could smell the odor of the place even before you said it reeked of mildew. 🤢 Unfortunately for me, I eat my dinner while watching your videos. 🤮 That was rough.

    • @j-mass

      Yikes! Yeah, it was a pretty disgusting house if I'm being honest... lots of cool finds and discoveries inside, but the place reeked of stale mildew and mold. It's definitely been abandoned for quite some time.
