I am already restoring a very old house. It was built in 1860. I bought it in really bad shape and I got it restored enough for me to move in it. It has all new electrical wiring , breaker box, water lines, sewer lines, roof, windows, updated kitchen, updated bathroom and installed paneling in all rooms. It went from being abandoned and condemned to livable within 6 months. ( bought October 2019) it is a cute solid old brick house with a new lease on life.
Awesome restoring a house from 1860! Thank you for your service we really need to save as many of these old houses as possible. Also I love wood paneling😍😍 They will NEVER go back to making such beauty, a craftsmanship infused building that someone put a lot of time into the ornate wood throughout, and built way stronger than anything modern and far more beautiful. I wish I could afford to restore an old house filled with many memories from many people over the years. It's heartbreaking to see beautiful old houses abandoned. Instead of buying a new house I would very gladly much rather restore an old deserving house that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so
Your house sounds lovely. I’m working on a craftsman 1901 home it has a fireplace into the right hand side has a built-in bookcase with leaded and stain glass doors, and I have tulip stained glass windows on each side. It looks better than when I moved in .hope enjoy your house.🤗
Can the people in their cars afford to renovate? Or do they freely live there in possible asbestos filled, wood rotting, black mold home? Who pays to fix it to livable standards? The state? Who pays for sickness or injury if the people in cars can't renovate safely? That's why it is abandoned
@@jenniferrath1026 no the reason it is is because of banks taking the home and due to it being a foreclosure home was left to rot instead of sellingit or it could be that the family left because one dumb reason over another and when it was left was decades ago thats why its rotting its been so long theres probably busted pipes and other problems because of it not being USED for most likely 30 to 50 years
@@jenniferrath1026I don't think you understand anything about construction if you think a house built in the late 1800s has asbestos. This house is perfectly savable. Not every abandoned building needs to be bulldozed like you think fucking moron
Same. I dream of a home with character like they had long ago. So much detail-these days homes all seem to be boring open concept with no imagination. Great video.
This house is indeed a refined old lady that was built with the best of materials of the time. This place cries out for restoration and a happy loving family. Nice tour and commentary, well done.
So sad there's so many beautiful expensive abandoned houses just left to decay😢 while homeless people can't even afford to have even just a simple one 😢😢
Oh my! What an old beauty, and yes, very fixable. This was a walk down memory lane for me. I grew up in a very similar southern Ontario Victorian brick farmhouse, with a huge front porch and radiant hot water heating. I still miss the old place.
Definitely was converted to two units. Wall was added beside stairs. With some work this house could be put back to a single family home. Beautiful home
Reminds me of my Aunts old place when I was growing up in the ‘60’s… As an adult I had a chance to see it renovated by a new owner to original. It was beautiful!
Thank you for showing this beautiful home just from the research I've done that first room you went into that was converted to a bedroom would have been the parlor where company would come in and wait that's why there's a door out to the front porch❤
All paint can bubble. It's pealing because it has been sitting with no heat and cold air during the season changing. But anyway I love the house. Thank you for sharing this experience.
That house is SOLID, all the windows being boarded was a game changer in preventing further damage.. I would definately restore and live in it. Lot$ of TLC could make it a very happy home.
What a lovey farmhouse. This house I believe could be renovated to house homeless people, students. A great pity that it has been left to decay. The floors seemed to be ok. Flats would be ideal. Thank you for showing this video. Houses could tell stories.💗💗💗
It's a wonderful house. That kitchen floor was from 1986. I had the same stuff once upon a time. Mold is the big problem. New heat air ducts and system. Windows, walls insulation, but its brick! Fabulous architectural features. Was a nice house. Hope someone can bring her back to her glory.
I used to drive by this house 4 times a day. Always wondered about it. It's stunning on the outside and I've always been curious on what the inside looks like. Cops sit in that driveway all the time doing radar.
Same. I've wondered about the inside. This was neat I have taken several pictures and will restore her through a painting some day...she was a grand lady in her time. I know in the winter I may go to the museum to get some more history on her...
I LOVE this house!!!! From the Porch, to the Old Wallpaper!!!! But it would cost sooooooo MUCH to restore!!!! And that one area with the Three Windows would be PERFECT for Etched, Stained Glass Windows!!!! They would be BEAUTIFUL there!!!! But yeah, ALOT OF WORK!!!! Thanks Urbex!!!!
What happens a lot that most people don't know unless you work in healthcare is if an elderly person or a middle-aged person has no living family around or living with them and they have to go into the hospital due to illness or a full they're not allowed to go back to their home play recessed by the state and put in the nursing home and so what happens is they can't return to their home I'm surprised the nursing home didn't sell the house they're not and they use their resources for the nursing home they have to they have no choice in the matter and if they have no relatives what happened to a friend of mine who is 100 years old he had no one to care for him and he had to give up his co-op condo apartment they would not let him return
@@aliciahilton9240 this happens a lot to housing of all ages and types. It's a shame more people do not understand this. They automatically make comments about the former home owners being greedy, homeless living in cars, etc. On one hand, I get what they are saying. But, when a home owner is put in a position you just described, they didn't plan on their house falling into disrepair. ❤❤
I'm pretty sure the wall next to the front stairs was added because the 2nd floor clearly is set up for a separate apartment which would explain why the room past the arched opening was left without a door. This would let folks in the front door and they could access either the main level or the upstairs. Horrible way to treat such a beautiful old lady. What's really wild is the basement is bone dry! I though all those basements would flood without a working sump pump. That house could be saved, if somebody had a fortune to spend. Wish it were me. I love this place.
The older the farm house the better! Beautiful windows and floors. Too bad they chopped it up into rentals. The peeling ( leaded?) paint adds the eerie touch. Thanks for the tour!
Slowly I leave lost in time and space . I once was beautiful, full of love & grace. Soon I’ll be gone forever, and that’s something I’ll have to face. If this house could speak
What a grand old home! Must've been gorgeous before being made into a two family. I will say though, that they did try to keep most of the original features. Great explore!
I thought I saw "No Trespassing" signs? I might think twice before entering. Very lovely old house. Most likely a large stained glass window next to the front door. That makes it late 1800s to early 1900s.
Other than the peeling paint this house was pretty nice !! As old as this place is they no doubt used oil base paint. I learned the hard way you can't use water-based paint over oil. The result is just what you saw all over the house !! It is too bad the originality was destroyed when they divided it into apartments. You could see bits and pieces here and there that they left intact. The trim around the windows was very late 18th or early 19th century. It would be lovely restored and put back to its old glory days. The home is still structurally sound with a few exceptions. Thanks for showcasing it !!!
Not sure,but I think it is latex paint that peels like that,If the house was divided into two rentals it would make sense as it was probably re painted each time a new tenant moved in.Too bad it wasn't left as it was originally.
What a building...but imagin to be alone in that house...with all thoose doors to outside space. And all windows,u really got to checkout before u go to sleep that everyone is closed! 😱😱😱 With so many rooms,stairs,closets u could get lost in your own home😂. It would be nice if u could see it ,when people was living there. Just to see the interiors! I wonder where they sit and eat? Cause straight out from the kitchen area,was the toilet and the laundry! Nice tour u gave from such a stunning house,tanx!👍🏼🤝🏼
I don't see this place as very decayed at all. Decay is collapsed roofs, ceilings, floors. This place only has peeling paint, not that big a deal. But yeah, walling up the staircase is weird. Like to see it removed and restored to original.
We had 3 old beautiful homes down the road that were torn down. 2 Victorian and a farmhouse. It was truly heartbreaking. Oh and an abandoned mall that could have been used for homeless ppl.
Paint peeling from moisture . Heat in summer,vold in winter. Paint gets scraped and swept up Haz mat team. Lead paint at base. Thats why they usually just painted over instead of removale. .
Quite frankly, if I were homeless and I came across an empty old "abandoned house, I would discreetly live there..I mean, I didn't see any no trespassing signs..did u ???..I have to say though, with the 2 meters as well as remodeling,, it hasn't been empty that long...
You might wanna have your eyes checked, and re-watch the video. There were literally 5 "warning, No Trespassing!" signs hung around the sides of the house, in plain view in the video. And probably a fe others off-camera.
That's a wonderful old brick home. It would be very beautiful after it was cleaned out and restored. Lots of possibilities. The tower area in the front is awesome. So many floors and rooms to choose from. With all those large windows uncovered it wouldn't be spooky with the sunlight coming in. One huge family could live comfortably in that place. Or a couple of families. If that place was in the US and nearby, I'd look into buying it. Cool old home! 😊
Personally, I don't think it would take much money to make that house liveable if you did most of the work yourself. Turn on the power, install a new boiler, replace the drywall and/or strip the paint and sand or strip the painted woodwork. The floors looked totally fine. And the roof is obviously good because there's no water/leak damage. The basement is filthy but dry. It's been very well kept, it's just that the changes in temperature wrecked the paint. If the appliances worked I'd just plug them in again. Everything in the kitchens and baths would need massive cleaning and you'd need new toilets. But the brick looks to be in fine shape, likewise the windows....this house is totally savable. I hope someone does it! I would LOVE to restore this lovely old gem.
That’s not decay, that’s just layers and layers of cheap latex paint. That house is in very good condition if you just take out the poorly constructed walls and bring it back to a single family home.
This is a big house for any time! WHY would someone let this sit and rot?!!? This house is still very solid. The paint comes off because of the temperature constantly changing in there. Cut back to a whole house this would be and was a great place. Kids would love growing up there. And the "no trespassing" signs were obvious, do you get permission to go in these?
I would guess the house originally had an open foyer. It looks like they extended the front bedroom on the second floor thus closing off the open foyer. That's why the sheet rock goes directly up to the banister. It looks like the second floor was converted to an apartment.
I bought the same kind of house in Saint John, NB. I call it the Victorian shack is almost identical condition as what you are walking through. My place was boarded up for for 10 years prior to when I bought it in May 2019. Yes very gross but still has potential to be revived. Hope you are wearing a face mask as the air is polluted with mold and dust. Happy trails !
This is almost identical to my grandparents house in Butte MT. I was going to say that the differences were the front room opened to the dining room but you showed that wall was added. The entryway was all more open but it looks like at one time that was open. In her older age, she rented the upstairs out. I read that that style of home was designed by someone in Chicago and was a popular style at the turn of the century. Her house went into decay once then someone restored it beautifully at some point. When i look at it on google street view, it’s back in decay. So very sad.
Beautiful house! I love the porch and the 2 sets of stairs. I wish they would have kept it original! I had to slow down the speed at 10:35/10:36-10:39 ish area or as your walking out of the bathroom talking about the moldy door and you can faintly hear whispering as your talking. Maybe I’m just hearing things 😹. Great explore! Love these older homes! Do you know why this was abandoned for so long?
@@urbexontario73 Probably part of an unresolved inheritance or something like that. The owner may also be in a nursing home, etc. and therefore the fate of the house won't be resolved until that person passes.
It really isn't that bad of shape, just major paint peeling, which would make it easier if the house is restored. I've noticed you're very bad at guessing the age of the wallpaper and appliances, I guess I'm being too hard, you're young and not in your 60's like myself and remember the styles of the past decades, but your videos are very entertaining.
The latex was probably on an oil based paint which explains the severe peeling. Yes the wall was built in front of the railing, those homes were open concept foyers with the parlour off to the side with walls.
Most of the peeling paint is latex painted over oil based paint. With the lack of temperature control because it is vacant, the paint peeled. I would restore this in a spilt second. Single family home, what a beauty!
I lived in an old brick house very similar to this as a teen. These houses have a personality that you cannot experience in today's world. Beautiful place. Shame its in disrepair.
You asked which type of abandoned house your viewers like you to video. Both. There's something for everyone and some of these really old bangers have incredible potential for an expensive restoration. You can just imagine what to do with all the rooms in these older places, den, reading area, art room, library, office and exercise area the list goes on. Once again, you've done a very good outside walk around. You always do though.

Loved this old Victorian farmhouse! I would absolutely restore this beauty to preserve the amazing history. Thanks for sharing.
This house looks restorable. Love the arched doorways and radiators. Plenty of heat. Very interesting. Enjoyed.
What a shame. Another Victorian masterpiece left to rot, while people are living in their cars..
Absolutely agree
Can the people in their cars afford to renovate? Or do they freely live there in possible asbestos filled, wood rotting, black mold home? Who pays to fix it to livable standards? The state? Who pays for sickness or injury if the people in cars can't renovate safely?

WHY on earth would you want a new house when you could live in a house like this. Stunning. I'm sure I left my heart in this era.
So far it's not creepy 😊

I love this old house! That front porch is awesome! She was grand in her day! Wonderful video as usual! 👍👍❤️🤘

I would love to own it n fix it up n live out the rest of my days in it. It's my Dream House
Could strip all the plaster and clean up all the mold and restore to its former glory.

@@urbexontario73 Probably part of an unresolved inheritance or something like that. The owner may also be in a nursing home, etc. and therefore the fate of the house won't be resolved until that person passes.
The only thing that's "terrifying" about that house is the amount of lead paint dust you stirred-up while trespassing inside it.
It really isn't that bad of shape, just major paint peeling, which would make it easier if the house is restored. I've noticed you're very bad at guessing the age of the wallpaper and appliances, I guess I'm being too hard, you're young and not in your 60's like myself and remember the styles of the past decades, but your videos are very entertaining.
Needs some work. Yes it worth renovating.
The latex was probably on an oil based paint which explains the severe peeling. Yes the wall was built in front of the railing, those homes were open concept foyers with the parlour off to the side with walls.
Omg I’d love to go with you!
I know a few houses but I’m too scared to go alone hahaha
The floors look very good.
I saw nothing terrifying about this beautiful vintage home left to disintegrate. It would be stunning restored.
I can only imagine what fixing it up would cost!
Most of the peeling paint is latex painted over oil based paint. With the lack of temperature control because it is vacant, the paint peeled. I would restore this in a spilt second. Single family home, what a beauty!
Ah, a beautiful home..
i bet if someone had the money & the time. this place would be a nice little project for someone to restore & live in or to resell
I lived in an old brick house very similar to this as a teen.
These houses have a personality that you cannot experience in today's world.
Beautiful place.
Shame its in disrepair.
Love it looks like my grandmother’s house
This house is crying for someone to fix it up . Was so nice at one time.
My Dream Home!!!!!!
You asked which type of abandoned house your viewers like you to video. Both. There's something for everyone and some of these really old bangers have incredible potential for an expensive restoration. You can just imagine what to do with all the rooms in these older places, den, reading area, art room, library, office and exercise area the list goes on. Once again, you've done a very good outside walk around. You always do though.
Amazing , no water damage, intact roof.
Notice the modern light switches..definitely converted somehow. This is a nice old house still in pretty good shape.
That big fire extinguisher was mounted inside the commercial range hood most likely above a commercial fryer
Yes, if I could buy this house. I would restore it to it's original beauty!❤
