Kappy , that water in the basement was from a spring. They used that to keep their butter and milk cold. My parents looked at an old stone house once that had that in the basement also. I think if they could find a spring they would build over it to have that convenience.
Our early 19th century house has a spring-fed cistern, complete with frogs and some crickets! It's deep enough that I expect it was used as a convenient indoor source of water most of the time, but before 20th century folks cemented over the dirt floor, it would have had a trough with water flowing on from it for storing milk and butter as well. A modern well was dug before we purchased the place, so these days we just use it as a sump pit. But I always like knowing the water is there if there was a problem. :)
What a lovely home and setting. But...l'm tired of hearing how these magnificent places will be torn down! I know-no kids, family died out, no one wants to farm, keep the place up, no money, moved to town, out of state, but history lost for whatever reason saddens me. Thanks, Kappy, for your great work in allowing us to tour and see these homes before they're gone for good. Hi, Ruby! 😊
I absolutely agree! It just hurts my heart anymore. Developers are out of control and houses built today will not last near as long as these beautiful old places.
@@janewasson4845 There's big development near me where its these huge ugly houses and they have about 10 feet between them at most. And a gated community too. Overpriced crap IMHO. Everyone in the old town area hates that development. And this lady from there bought a house on my block and is trying to rent it for nearly 3k a month ( good luck...), and she doesn't understand public parking on the street. She doesn't like people parking in front of the house, and the house has a 2 car driveway and enough room in the back for 4 more spaces. She briefly talked to my dad, that's what he told me. "They don't allow anyone other than the owner or guests to park in front of the houses where I live". Time will tell if she is a good neighbor or bad/Karen.
I like how peaceful your videos are, Kappy. And I'm so glad you don't ruin them w that paranormal crap. There are some other channels I've stopped watching because they ruin their vids w that stupid paranormal stuff. We know the spiritual realm is there, but it's God's business, not our's.
All of the homes you film were beautiful in their own ways when they were newly built. They all have a certain character you don’t see in newer homes. This home was a beauty! Thanks Kappy!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I am English and live in London, and I love your videos. The initial picture of the house is beautiful. Lovely we can still see these houses, even though I realise some have been chopped down by now, or will be sooner or later. Thanks for preserving the memories.
What a house! those windowsills in the first room were deep set! Stone? lovely built-in cabinets and the hardware on the shutters and those fancy door hinges made to last! That Singer looked like an old manual treadle machine that ran off a leather belt pulley instead of electricity. The old fashioned push button electrical switch atop the basement stairs, the old stoves, both in the 'kitchen' and the basement, the kitchen sink in it's own closet? the 'bathroom' that has no toilet?! built atop of a real Spring! water clean enough that Sir Salamander still keeps house there?! with food aplenty for the resident frogs?! Private and cool is the toilet in the basement! But the story those records tell! (Irving Berlin, 1921) "Birds of a feather, Just you and I; Someday together away we'll fly, Off to a lovenest like Love birds do, Somewhere I'll build one for you, " then Shoestring Polka, Johnnie Bomba (mid 50's?); Hurdy Gurdy Polka, Vladimir Drozdoff (1952?) That house was upbeat, swingin', jitterbug or jivin' of a Saturday nite! D'ya see how worn out the labels were?! Brings to mind Gordon Lightfoot: Get out old Dan's records Get out old Dan's records We will dance the whole night long It's fun to play the old time songs If old Dan could see us now I know he'd be so proud .... I Thank You, Kappy, for the tour and for such delicious visions. This was a stout, well-made, pleasant abode, a reflection of the sturdy, industrious and cheerful souls she housed. She may be gone now, but so are those vivacious, lively hearts, relics of the past anymore. Those Were the days!
I love this house! ❤ Its character and charm are still visible despite the deterioration. Well built and still standing tall, as more modern houses would have crumbled. Those plates on the kitchen floor and the flowery wallpaper throughout scream 1950's. I wonder if the running water in the basement was a functioning spring house before refrigeration? Convenient if it was. Love the thick, insulating walls. They're like the ones we have here in Scotland, along with slate roofs. Sad that it has probably been demolished by now. Wish it could have been saved. Those crickets tho...😳
Kappy, you are so cool to care about and talk to the frogs and little salamanders! 🐸 🦎 I jumped when I saw all those black spiders! I feel bad the frogs probably cannot see sunlight. 😢 ☀️ Thank you for all you do. 😊
I am in the process of watching your entire library. You are by far my favorite explorer! I love your mellow narrative and you strive to know what things are! Keep making these excellent films.
You win! That was my first EVER jump scare in one of your vids! 😂🤣 So many cool, unexpected sights in this one like the fresh flowing water, frogs, and the lil’ salamander. And all those crickets! You’re right, it’s not as bad as that other house, but still enough to hurry MY butt outta there! I can only imagine what the crickets were thinking when you entered their regular darkness with that bright light. Probably freaked them out as well! 😁 And whatever it was that jumped into that murky water in that funky basement space just took two years off my life! 🤪
I was sittin' here thinkin' "Where is my new explorer video from Kappy???"! Then I looked and here it is :) :) :) Gotta have my "Kappy" fix for the weekend. Thank you!!!!
What a gem. I loved everything about this house except the cave crickets 😨 The deep windowsills and shutters are beautiful. The whole place was simple but elegant. If it's time for it to say goodbye at least it's led a life full of generations of families. It would really be worth saving and rehabilitating, it wouldn't take much to bring it back. Thanks for sharing this old treasure, Kappy.
Another great video i've watched a lot of videos on houses on a Lot of Channels and you are the first one that has noticed the beautiful hinges on old doors. I hope you keep paying attention to the little details, thank you.😊😊😊
Beautiful!! In the basement I think it was like a spring house where they could keep things cool and I really think that was a well that was closed off…. Man they had a setup if I’m correct!! They just went to the basement for the butter instead of down to the creek….. I loved the old stove(the piece you thought they had been fixing up)down there as well!!That was probably the summer kitchen (??) maybe….. So glad you were able to document it Kappy! Looks like it’s days are numbered if that is a housing development behind it 😢…. Thanks again Kappy
Yes.. I hope they preserve and keep that spring water well CLEAN !! For everyones sake. That was beautiful seeing that clear water. This family had some money. You r right.. Layers of wallpaper.. $ I don't know what time of the day it was there.. A lot of car noise ! Beauty of a place loaded with history.. ❤
Right! That basement was incredible! Can’t imagine how handy that would’ve been back in the day before running water and indoor plumbing! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
Too bad this place may already be gone. Not a bad old house, interesting water system in the basement. Another viewer posted that it is an ild method of keeping food items cool. Pretty amazing, glad that you have video of it to show your Grandkids some day. Thanks, Kappy for always making my Saturday more interesting
Once upon a time...... This house has seen a lot of families. The most telling to me are the types of heating. Coal, coal oil and finally, natural gas. I've got to wonder why you haven't been in the wasps this year. I'm thinking this place had their own spring fed water system. Right now the frogs are having munch fest in it. The wallpaper and the paint color choices marks the years pretty well. Another great video Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
I've been enjoying your videos for years 😊 Thank you so much for your dedication, hard work and commitment to documenting these beautiful homes! Much respect from Alberta Canada
When Kappy advertises stunning, he doesn't lie. The woodwork, hardware, and layers of wallpaper were all amazing. When you entered the dining area it felt like entering a grandma's house. So many unique treasures left behind, almost as if when the final occupant died, the house died with them. Thanks once again for another amazing tour! Oh, and I loved the unexpected find of frogs and salamander. That was one of the most interesting and least creepy basements you explored, if you can get around the bugs and the unexpected jump scare you provided for us.
Too kind of you to say! Couldn’t agree more! This basement didn’t creepy me out at all! Was such an incredible place! I’m sure that fresh water spring under the house would’ve been very handy back in the day! Thank you for watching! :)
That teak chair on the wall in basement! My Dad (born 1921) bought my Mom a set of those but rocking back in the day- when I was little she’d rock me outside. Have never seen them again until now!!
The attic looks to be in pretty good condition and probably need a little bit of roof work. I think with a little bit of cleanup and some work the place could be livable again. 😊👍
Hey, Kappy - thanks for stopping to look at the records. I had to check a couple out as I thought it would give a feel for what the people were like who once lived here. "Birds of a Feather", by Frank Chacksfield Orchestra was very pleasant to listen to; I grew up listening & dancing, to polka music played in my home, so had to look up "Shoestring Polka" and found this: Dana Record Co. founded in 1946 by Władysław Daniłowski [aka Walter Dana], New York, the label was about Polish music but focused on the polka genre. I really enjoyed this house - from the green shutters and decorative wood framed screens of the front windows to the wood fireplace mantel in the basement. I appreciate your pausing to give us a look at old doorknobs & plates and wallpaper patterns. Nice job...now off to listen to the Hurdy Gurdy polka! Have a great day!
I really liked the old shutters and the old wood cook stoves and the old arched door ways. I really like seeing all the old products left behind reminds me of my days past.....there was for sure a lot of life lived in this wonderful old home . The old well in the basement was a really cool find and that old coal furnace wow !! Kappy great video as always your videos take me back in time and for that I thank you and for all you do to bring us these videos !! 👍👍
The craftsmanship put into this house was exceptional! Great video! I still have a hard time watching thinking of all this being demolished. What a waste of resources.
The only toilet was in the creepy basement? YIkes! For being as old as this house is [was] it's in good shape inside. No ceilings fallen in, no big holes in the floors. You can tell it was built well.
What a beautiful, solid house! It’s really a shame that “progress “ is tearing down these wonderful homes with so much to tell us if we’d just listen! And I hope someone that knows what they’re doing, is allowed to go in a rescue those beautiful mantle boards, and so many other things that alot of folks would pay good money for! Thank you so much, Kappy , for taking us to these wonderful places and telling us what you see! You are the best of the best‼️
What a shame to see a lot of these old homes abandoned/ It makes me wonder why.They were once nice places. This house is truly rundown. Thanks for showing this
Another great explore and walk through with you this old lady is still beautiful but I do get bad vibes here stay cool stay safe love you n Miss Ruby thanks for taking me along.
I didnt even knowdese the slate on the roof till you mentioned it. Unreal, almost worth reclaiming it to reuse. Can hardly believe how intact the house and stuff is in there. Great location, as usual
Excellent explore. At 22:00 that's an upgraded Becket oil burner, attached to an old American Standard, perhaps converted from coal. Fuel tank as 22:55 looks like copper fill and vent pipes. The sink at 7:30, those were a very good design.
What a beautiful house that must have been. Sure looks to have been empty since the 80s. Strange how the other part of the attic is blocked off. Surely that room was not the only part. I did get strange vibes from this one though. Looks very fixable from the inside, even with nature taking over. They just don't build them like this one anymore. The basement was really cool, amazingly in great shape. I love salamanders. All kind of different. There was a door leading to that weird area you looked into, did not see the other side of the door though... Weird. My very honest opinion is this house should be saved. It is a piece of history and I am sure it has stories to tell. Thank you for filming it before it gets destroyed.
OMG! A spring in the basement! I have been waiting years to see one! They built over the spring so they could have cold storage inside the house. And the 2 frogs and the salamander ( or newt) are really neat to see. Yeah, the cave crickets will fall in. They like moisture, so they probably congregate down there at times. I'd like to know how the frogs get in and out though.
Beautiful old house! So amazing to have spring water running through the basement - that must have been so handy, esp in winter! Love all your explores, Kappy! 🙂
Right! Back in the days before indoor plumbing and running water a fresh water spring in the basement would’ve been very handy! Thank you for watching! :)
So interesting. Houses were frequently buikt near springs and had a spring house, but they apparently built the house over the spring to have year around fresh water in the house with a drain to take it out so it wouldn't flood the basement.
The sewing machine and that wallpaper behind it are my favorite. A lot of the furniture and the stove looks very late 40s/early 50s. Probably when the last family moved in
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me about Stunning Packed Abandoned Quaker Time Capsule Farm House Left Forgotten it was a really interesting video the house looked really old and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again my friend.
There is a way to take certain clips of a video. It’s called “screen grab” or “print screen”. The procedure for doing it depends on the device you are using to watch the video. Google those terms to find out how.
My mom told me that early on , garages were away from the house, just in case the cars caught on fire, the house wouldn’t go too. People were a bit wary of cars , just like they were microwaves when they first came out. I remember an old neighbor saying that in years to come, it will be revealed that microwave ovens weee harmful to one’s health, she wouldn’t use one. I guess the only real harm is it made people lazier lol ?
All of those wonderful arched doorways were so nice and someone must have really liked them, because they sure stripped them down. It's really amazing that no one has taken the door knobs. A nice explore of a nice old place. ❤
True! Well said! I especially loved the basement of this house! Having a fresh water spring running under your house would’ve been very handy back in the day! Thank you for watching!! :)
I would love to bring a place like that back to its former glory! I would strip the paint off the woodwork to show the beauty of the wood. If only I had the money. 😊
Thank you, Kappy, for this one. Such a beautiful house. It was well planned, well built and very functional, esp those cold springs for storing butter and milk in the basement. Loved the frogs, salamander and even the crickets. Every life form is here for a reason. That out-building (workshop) must have been a nice place to sneak away to from all the activities of the main house. I would love to have those dining room chairs and some of the other pieces of furniture.
The house is great, love the basement spring water area(s), wall paper upstairs, and all the room to move around in. The attic that tree that was inside the house looked vicious with all the swirls of branches. lol I would have liked to see the table top though without the clothe to cover it. Some really nice furniture in this house too. I hope they atleast tried to save some of the features in there before tearing it down. Have a great day
Interesting house. Back then people built their house over or near where spring waters came up. I wonder where they retrieved it for use in their house, if they collected it in a well that they dug or what. I'd love to peek back in time and watch them build the house. I'd love to witness their excitement when it was move-in ready! I just love how these old houses were built, practical and homey.
Having a cold spring to keep your perishables fresh and water in the winter time was a desirable convenience back then. That one still has good bones lets hope someone sees its potential.
Wasn't expecting to see a Finished Attic. Always love the Antique Hardware in these houses. 21:28, that's definitely an underground spring, but it looks like they connected the well into it. This house hasn't been abandoned that long, the pump and hot water heater, looked newer.
It looks like they just walked out one day and left everything. Kind of makes You wonder what their story was…is. Thanks For the video…I truly like it.
All the wallpaper in this house was so unique and whimsical! I bet they used that attic as a bedroom.The bedrooms on the second Upstairs are so small! How cool is that to have a live spring in your basement!
This is an interesting house. When I saw the red fireplace and beautiful stairs, I thought it looked like a set up for a weird photog session. Anyone else think that?
Back 100+ years ago having a good clean source of water was vital. So finding a way to have it in the house definitely makes sense. I'd bet originally stones were used to surround the water. Help to keep the dirt out.
Such a shame its a beautiful house in a lovely place and could be brought back to life the walls are solid and the roof just needs a little bit of attention some new windows and doors you could make it a lovely home again even comes with it's own wildlife grate video.
What a cool house! Rock solid. Can't beat the old doors and other building materials in these old homes! That basement was really interesting. A lot of creepy crawlers down there. But as long as I don't encounter snakes, I'm good lol. Great house!
Well this was quite the adventure! Great oldhouse with little spring ponds, frogs, salamandors and those spiders! WOW this was a great explore but then again they all are! See you next time Kappy 🏚😃
Hey Kappy! Wow. Lots of cool wallpapers and a great house! Best find was in the basement for the critters. I can't stand cave crickets though. This was a great explore. Thanks again and stay safe. ✌️. ( I remember that one house with the massive amount of cave crickets! 😬)
Hey kappy always enjoy your videos of old houses and historic places ,, just be careful especially looking in th e basement you never know what might be down there ,,bats ,, snake or other critters
Wow ,it was a nice house, crazy layout but interesting water feature in the basement! Thanx Kappy 4 another great exploration! B safe out there. Hi 2 Ruby!
Such an awesome explore!!! Before it’s torn down & demolished, I hope that they save the original doors, door casings, windows, window casings, hardware from those, banister, fireplace surround in the basement & as much of the original building as possible!!! The furniture that I saw, was not antique or original to the house! I have never been a fan of wallpaper, but was fascinating to see!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Kappy!!! I loved seeing the frogs & salamander…nice to see that they have found a wonderful home 👍💕I loved this explore 👍🙏💕
The picture in the kitchen sink area is a Home Interior product. The company was popular in the 70s and 80s for home décor. The Nativity dates back to the , 1960s. I still one just like it that was my brothers when he was a child. I would love to have the dishes with the fruit on them.
One toilet in the whole house and it's in the basement far from the upstairs bedrooms. Hope they never had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night☺. Nice Tour. I love seeing the attics on these homes. New houses, especially with the trust roofing, don't have attics anymore 😟
Kappy , that water in the basement was from a spring. They used that to keep their butter and milk cold. My parents looked at an old stone house once that had that in the basement also. I think if they could find a spring they would build over it to have that convenience.
Can you imagine that was "modern convenience"? But it truly was! Loved that basement explore😊
@@peggyharris3301 it would be again for those who want off grid living. The Amish would use it if they live in such an old house.

I really liked the old shutters and the old wood cook stoves and the old arched door ways. I really like seeing all the old products left behind reminds me of my days past.....there was for sure a lot of life lived in this wonderful old home . The old well in the basement was a really cool find and that old coal furnace wow !! Kappy great video as always your videos take me back in time and for that I thank you and for all you do to bring us these videos !! 👍👍
The craftsmanship put into this house was exceptional! Great video! I still have a hard time watching thinking of all this being demolished. What a waste of resources.
Kappy...I do believe you set your record for length of stay in a basement! 😂🤣 Imagine all the familial generations come & gone in this beauty..
I think you might be right!!😅 Thank you for watching!! :)
Oh great you opened the fridge, sorry maybe I didn’t speak loud enough…Don’t do it!!! Wallpaper was awesome, love the wind window seals.
Wallpaper choices in this one are exquisite! 💖
Lots of cool wallpaper in this one! Thank you for watching! :)
The only toilet was in the creepy basement? YIkes! For being as old as this house is [was] it's in good shape inside. No ceilings fallen in, no big holes in the floors. You can tell it was built well.
Kappy, next time, don’t dare to open the fridge door! When you started to, I was yelling “no, don’t do it!” Great video. Thank you for sharing 💜
Haha will do! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
What a beautiful, solid house! It’s really a shame that “progress “ is tearing down these wonderful homes with so much to tell us if we’d just listen! And I hope someone that knows what they’re doing, is allowed to go in a rescue those beautiful mantle boards, and so many other things that alot of folks would pay good money for! Thank you so much, Kappy , for taking us to these wonderful places and telling us what you see! You are the best of the best‼️
What a shame to see a lot of these old homes abandoned/ It makes me wonder why.They were once nice places. This house is truly rundown. Thanks for showing this
Another great explore and walk through with you this old lady is still beautiful but I do get bad vibes here stay cool stay safe love you n Miss Ruby thanks for taking me along.
I didnt even knowdese the slate on the roof till you mentioned it.
Unreal, almost worth reclaiming it to reuse. Can hardly believe how intact the house and stuff is in there. Great location, as usual
Excellent explore. At 22:00 that's an upgraded Becket oil burner, attached to an old American Standard, perhaps converted from coal. Fuel tank as 22:55 looks like copper fill and vent pipes. The sink at 7:30, those were a very good design.
Kappy the bugs are to scary for me !!!! Thank you for being braver than me !!!! This house was different !!!
What a beautiful house that must have been. Sure looks to have been empty since the 80s. Strange how the other part of the attic is blocked off. Surely that room was not the only part. I did get strange vibes from this one though. Looks very fixable from the inside, even with nature taking over. They just don't build them like this one anymore. The basement was really cool, amazingly in great shape. I love salamanders. All kind of different. There was a door leading to that weird area you looked into, did not see the other side of the door though... Weird. My very honest opinion is this house should be saved. It is a piece of history and I am sure it has stories to tell. Thank you for filming it before it gets destroyed.
Awsome place kappy glad you got there when you did I like how they finished the attic and the basement in that old house
OMG! A spring in the basement! I have been waiting years to see one! They built over the spring so they could have cold storage inside the house. And the 2 frogs and the salamander ( or newt) are really neat to see. Yeah, the cave crickets will fall in. They like moisture, so they probably congregate down there at times. I'd like to know how the frogs get in and out though.
I wondered about how the frogs got in as well! Not a bad spot for a frog tho! Fresh Water and plenty of food! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Kappy!
Beautiful old house! So amazing to have spring water running through the basement - that must have been so handy, esp in winter! Love all your explores, Kappy! 🙂
Right! Back in the days before indoor plumbing and running water a fresh water spring in the basement would’ve been very handy! Thank you for watching! :)
That stove in the kitchen
possibly dates back to the
earliest 1900s. thanks for
sharing I enjoy these
explorations they are
very interesting.
This cook stove is a gas and wood combination type made by Dangler. circa. 1950
@@andreamills5852Bingo. You are correct. My grandmother had a similar one from 1955.
Beauty, what a nice house. Wish they had left that floral wallpaper. That staircase is really nice. Sewing must be worth a fortune. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So interesting. Houses were frequently buikt near springs and had a spring house, but they apparently built the house over the spring to have year around fresh water in the house with a drain to take it out so it wouldn't flood the basement.
The sewing machine and that wallpaper behind it are my favorite. A lot of the furniture and the stove looks very late 40s/early 50s. Probably when the last family moved in
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me about Stunning Packed Abandoned Quaker Time Capsule Farm House Left Forgotten it was a really interesting video the house looked really old and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again my friend.
Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I wish UA-cam had an option where we could like certain clips of the video - the shot of the setting sun through the windows was stunning.
There is a way to take certain clips of a video. It’s called “screen grab” or “print screen”. The procedure for doing it depends on the device you are using to watch the video. Google those terms to find out how.
That was definitely a very unique house. Thank you Kappy!!!
Agreed! Thank you for watching! :)
My mom told me that early on , garages were away from the house, just in case the cars caught on fire, the house wouldn’t go too. People were a bit wary of cars , just like they were microwaves when they first came out. I remember an old neighbor saying that in years to come, it will be revealed that microwave ovens weee harmful to one’s health, she wouldn’t use one. I guess the only real harm is it made people lazier lol ?
All of those wonderful arched doorways were so nice and someone must have really liked them, because they sure stripped them down. It's really amazing that no one has taken the door knobs. A nice explore of a nice old place. ❤
True! Well said! I especially loved the basement of this house! Having a fresh water spring running under your house would’ve been very handy back in the day! Thank you for watching!! :)
I would love to bring a place like that back to its former glory! I would strip the paint off the woodwork to show the beauty of the wood. If only I had the money. 😊
Love this old house, so much history. ❤ My favorite so far. Reminds alot of the old abandoned farm houses in the UK.
Too kind of you to say! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thank you, Kappy, for this one. Such a beautiful house. It was well planned, well built and very functional, esp those cold springs for storing butter and milk in the basement. Loved the frogs, salamander and even the crickets. Every life form is here for a reason. That out-building (workshop) must have been a nice place to sneak away to from all the activities of the main house. I would love to have those dining room chairs and some of the other pieces of furniture.
The house is great, love the basement spring water area(s), wall paper upstairs, and all the room to move around in. The attic that tree that was inside the house looked vicious with all the swirls of branches. lol I would have liked to see the table top though without the clothe to cover it. Some really nice furniture in this house too. I hope they atleast tried to save some of the features in there before tearing it down. Have a great day
That looks like a lot of crickets down there 👍
Those cave crickets are multiplying about as much as the snails here in Florida. Cool explore Kap!! 😊
I hate to see perfect examples of history fall into ruin. Thanks for documenting this one.
Hi Kappy. Loved all that wallpaper. I was really impressed at how dry the basement is. Awesome
Wow! This house was amazing!
I think so too! That basement was incredible! Thank you for watching! :)
Interesting house. Back then people built their house over or near where spring waters came up. I wonder where they retrieved it for use in their house, if they collected it in a well that they dug or what. I'd love to peek back in time and watch them build the house. I'd love to witness their excitement when it was move-in ready! I just love how these old houses were built, practical and homey.
The reason they built over the spring was to keep the milk/butter and any other items that needed it, cold.
Enjoyed it! My grandparents had a brown fridge like that lol!!!
Thank you for watching!! :)
Thanks Kappy for another cool explore of a cool old farm house. I live it.
Having a cold spring to keep your perishables fresh and water in the winter time was a desirable convenience back then. That one still has good bones lets hope someone sees its potential.
Wasn't expecting to see a Finished Attic.
Always love the Antique Hardware in these houses.
21:28, that's definitely an underground spring, but it looks like they connected the well into it.
This house hasn't been abandoned that long, the pump and hot water heater, looked newer.
I love your fascination with old hardware and door knobs, so am I and my collection is always growing Thanks for sharing
That picture of pictures in or near the kitchen I used to have.
It looks like they just walked out one day and left everything. Kind of makes You wonder what their story was…is. Thanks
For the video…I truly like it.
All the wallpaper in this house was so unique and whimsical! I bet they used that attic as a bedroom.The bedrooms on the second Upstairs are so small! How cool is that to have a live spring in your basement!
This is an interesting house. When I saw the red fireplace and beautiful stairs, I thought it looked like a set up for a weird photog session. Anyone else think that?
This place is truly amazing.
Back 100+ years ago having a good clean source of water was vital. So finding a way to have it in the house definitely makes sense. I'd bet originally stones were used to surround the water. Help to keep the dirt out.
Such a shame its a beautiful house in a lovely place and could be brought back to life the walls are solid and the roof just needs a little bit of attention some new windows and doors you could make it a lovely home again even comes with it's own wildlife grate video.
Wow, amazing house! I had the same picture hung in my kitchen (at 8:00) when I got married in 1992.
Awesome house on its day
What a cool house! Rock solid. Can't beat the old doors and other building materials in these old homes! That basement was really interesting. A lot of creepy crawlers down there. But as long as I don't encounter snakes, I'm good lol. Great house!
Well this was quite the adventure! Great oldhouse with little spring ponds, frogs, salamandors and those spiders! WOW this was a great explore but then again they all are! See you next time Kappy 🏚😃
Hey Kappy! Wow. Lots of cool wallpapers and a great house! Best find was in the basement for the critters. I can't stand cave crickets though. This was a great explore. Thanks again and stay safe. ✌️. ( I remember that one house with the massive amount of cave crickets! 😬)
I was thinking the same thing about the wallpaper...generations of the different styles was amazing.
Hey kappy always enjoy your videos of old houses and historic places ,, just be careful especially looking in th e basement you never know what might be down there ,,bats ,, snake or other critters
Thanks Mr. Kappy!
Wow ,it was a nice house, crazy layout but interesting water feature in the basement! Thanx Kappy 4 another great exploration! B safe out there. Hi 2 Ruby!
That bird wallpaper is beautiful!
Agreed! Thank you for watching! :)
Have you ever came across a house that was Haunted love your videos from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great video Kappy!
Such an awesome explore!!! Before it’s torn down & demolished, I hope that they save the original doors, door casings, windows, window casings, hardware from those, banister, fireplace surround in the basement & as much of the original building as possible!!! The furniture that I saw, was not antique or original to the house! I have never been a fan of wallpaper, but was fascinating to see!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Kappy!!! I loved seeing the frogs & salamander…nice to see that they have found a wonderful home 👍💕I loved this explore 👍🙏💕
Oh wow look at all the items left!!! Pretty cool!! 😊😊😊
At least there's not a lot of graffiti on the walls
Thanks Kappy, really pretty house
I agree, those arched doorways were beautiful!
Man, those photographers were setting records left and right!
Wonder if that was a Night Bowl (jar) in the lil cubby closet ??? OOO prehistoric crickets 😣😲☹🕷🕷🕷🐜🐜🐜
Thanks for awesome video
Thanks for another great video. That place looks lovely there.😊👍
And yes the doorknobs you have shown a really nice. 👍
This house had the most interesting basement yet usually they are quite boring.
Amazing, thx so much for your great video 😊
Much appreciated for watching! :)
The picture in the kitchen sink area is a Home Interior product. The company was popular in the 70s and 80s for home décor. The Nativity dates back to the , 1960s. I still one just like it that was my brothers when he was a child. I would love to have the dishes with the fruit on them.
luv those orange doorknobs!!
Some very pretty walpaper.
My stupid phone sent those other two ,I said as always you do a great job
One toilet in the whole house and it's in the basement far from the upstairs bedrooms. Hope they never had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night☺. Nice Tour. I love seeing the attics on these homes. New houses, especially with the trust roofing, don't have attics anymore 😟
