WOW! My comment is gone. I thought you wanted history of the neighborhood. Where the fallen tree was is where my Grandma’s house was. The house that your friend said was “really nice” was occupied as recently as 2022.
@@SD-jf7nb the neighborhood was called Inland Manor. It’s off of highway 12 in Miller/Gary, IN. About 20 years or so ago, the National Park Service came in and offered to purchase the properties from the residents with a lease back for $1 per year for 10 years. Some took advantage of the offer, some did not. My Grandma did & lived there peacefully until she could no longer take care of herself (around 2007) and moved out. The park service came in and demolished her home as part of their expansion plan (hers was the empty lot in the video where the tree had fallen). Those who did not take the original offer held out. Eventually the park service ran out of money to buy the remaining homes. That’s when city/county services took over and finally took the homes by eminent domain. The house that the girl said was “really nice” belonged to a dear friend, who held out until about 2022 and was finally forced to leave. Her son owned the blue ranch style home across the street that was all locked up. He also lost the fight against eminent domain. There used to be 4 roads into Inland Manor. Currently only one remains accessible.
@@highnoon907 in talking to my family tonight at dinner, my Aunt & Uncle said the lease back deal with the National Park Service was for 10 years, NOT until death. My Grandma signed her agreement in 1998 (25 years ago).
I was just going to add that answer as well. All the older homes had those ledges for the phone or cubby hole in the wall for the phone and the shelf underneath for the extinct telephone books. Or are they??
Yep. When I was a child we lived in a house in Berwyn, a Chicago suburb that had beautiful built in features including a cubby for the doorbell chimes and the phone. There was an old Bakelite phone in the cubby, and a wooden shelf where my parents put their personal phone books. The house was built in the '30s, I believe. We lived in it from the very late 1960s to the mid 1970s.

Looking at this place on street view is strange. The amount of decay this place experienced between 2007-2013... some parts of it are nearly unrecognizable between the two periods. It's awesome that you've documented this place a little over 10 years after the last street view scan, adding to the documentation of this small neighborhood's decay.
My mother grew up in Gary from the 60s. She doesn't like to see that area or current photos of the area. Makes her sad. It was once a nice place to live according to my grandparents, aunts and uncles.
It’s crazy seeing this kind of stuff. My dad was born and raised in Gary so whenever I see things like this I send them to him, he remembers when they were booming areas and pretty neighborhoods and everything
I have a house that was built in 1800. For a time it was left completely abandoned for over 10 years. And is standing strong and fine by the time we we're able to purchase
As I was saying on another channel, once the roof (which needs to be replaced every 20 years on average) goes, the rest of the structure follows quickly.
What a neat set of finds. This definitely seems to have a big back story and glad you guys got to explore it and filmed it, wonderfully. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
The city of Chicago took that area over through imminent domain to build a stadium and park to win a bid for the 2016 Olympics. Rio de Janeiro won the bid and those residents lost their homes for nothing. Now the land sits there empty with no plans for development at this time.
@@JamesL413not true. My Grandma lived in that neighborhood and the National Park service bought most of the properties well over 20 years ago. They did a lease back with the residents for $1 a year for 10 years. Some sold to the National Park service & some didn’t. The last few residents were living there as recently as 2022.
Of course.. They want us all in tiny cubicle apartments in the city.. Never owning anything and never having any freedom. We must stand up against that. Humans deserve to be free.
Real estate lobby. They were handing out indictments to the Reagan administration like parking tickets, HUD, the DOI, the S&L "crisis", using the EPA as a slush fund, it goes on, s bit of s pattern there if you look. Truth is, low income housing, even with incentives, is higher risk than premium. Meanwhile, tight supply keeps prices high.
The thing shelf on the wall by the door that you thought was for a flower was common in older homes and it was for holding the telephone and a phone book on the little shelf underneath.
that little shelf in the second house is a phone niche/nook. they were seen in a lot of homes starting in about the 30s when phones still plugged into the wall.
Exploring like this looks like such a blast, but where I live, I'd be paranoid about running into snakes, haha. Keep up the great videos! Can't stop watching them since UA-cam recommended me some of your shorts the other day. :)
i knew someone that would've lost their home to the park service, except they burned it to the ground and poisoned the land and off'ed themselves right there and sent them a nice note the day they did it explaining they would not continue to live without their home that had been in their family for generations.
@tattooed_countryboythey figured they could just snatch the land from an elderly farmer without issue. i haven't seen our country as a free nation since. we've been living in a dystopia all along.
In the 1970's my Dad took the family to Indiana Dunes two years in a row. In 2015 I did a bike tour through that same area to discover the neighborhood street where we used to park was now a low use greenway. We used the unmanned gap in the fence the locals all traversed to enter the park. The area was almost completely reclaimed by nature. Only block foundations, a few places where the asphalt wasn't completely dirted over and the occasional traffic sign or post still showed through the undergrowth next to saplings and bushes and 30 year old trees growing through what was once sidewalks and street. The really eerie thing was the actual street name on a post poking up in what was otherwise now a wooded area. There was a peppermint striped swing set frame oxidizing in two tones of rust all alone in the woods.
Got caught there by the cook county forest police for trying to release a squirrel from a have a heart trap. He said it was illegal to relocate any animals onto State property.
You didn't look in that large double garage behind that yellow house? I've found closed door garages usually hide the most gems... Be safe & keep exploring!
Illinois going to warehouse crap so bad. I know this is too personal, but if you’re liking Illinois less and less to the point that even your connections to the state are bad, then I suggest you move out of the state. After which, you can make a mega-documentary about the downfall of the state to warehouses.
The Fed government has stated and started a program to "reclaim" private land to give to park and rec's. That's not sinister at all. They have a goal of 30% of private owned land by 2035 and 50% by 2050. I may be off on dates but read up on their totally not concerning plans to take land.
Your right, I heard of this. Bidens 30 by 30 plan. Theres lots about it. Basically the government is taking land for preservation, is what they call it.
The brick house at about the 7 min mark was still occupied in late 2021, according to an article I found. Not sure how long after that article that the city acquired it.
@4:22 was a phone shelf, the bottom ledge was, as joegac57 typed, for a phonebook, my Mums house had one, but it was removed at some time and wall papered over, a thing of the 1930’s!

Nah this is in Gary, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore was doing some kind of leaseback thing with this neighborhood (Inland Manor subdivision) in the 90s but they ran out of money... a few years ago Gary Sanitary District started taking over the remaining properties through eminent domain.
@@JamesL413 Yes, it does. Good reading! Gary is considered by many to be on the outskirts of Chicago.

I would say that most of these people got evicted from the home and didn't have nowhere to take their stuff so they trashed the house and left the stuff even left the water on
Poor cat-probably someones pet.I like the mailboxes for the newspapers. Is that done anymore? Sounded like you kicked a plastic easter egg in the basement.Those things get everywhere.lol.
Still blows my mind. How people can be forced out of their homes. For the homes to be left and destroyed. Not to mention tons of people that are homeless. These places could be used. All these gorgeous homes such a waste.
i wonder why these places are abandoned and why the people left some of the house look brand new and the people who live in these houses and the people who owned them seemed to live there for very long
@@johng5710 uh huh. I guess so. Gary isn't even Suburban Chicago. Might as well call Wisconsin and Michigan the "outskirts" Only hillbillies live in Indiana!
Last homeowner finally sold his 2 houses back to the city. National Park service began the property purchasing many years ago. City will not demolish anything due to cost until Federal government steps in with funds. Property abuts National Parks dunes land. First homes were constructed in 1950’s.
Not to mention the city of Gary is not a place I would want to live. This land is near the steel mills and the air often stinks from them. I live about 30 miles Southeast of this area and at certain times when the wind blows from that direction it smells terrible. Just this summer they released some chemical and had everyone in the region calling 911 to report gas leaks. Even made the Chicago news.
