Huge Beautiful Abandoned Mansion in New England *Left Forgotten For Decades
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2023
- Historic old home built sometime around 1860-1870. Outside of Hertford Connecticut. The house would stay in the same family for nearly a hundred years with a large addition being put on the back in the early 1900’s making it the large house seen today. During the 1960’s after house was sold from the original family it was converted into apartments and then eventually forgotten a few decades later after maintenance and repairs being too costly on the old house . Sadly now going to be torn down. Just glad too have this historic old house documented in pictures and video so it won’t be forgotten totally. Thank you for watching this beautiful old house. Also sorry for not finding out what was behind the plywood on the door. That was a real mystery upstairs! Would love to hear ideas! Like and comment if you enjoyed!

This house must have been beautiful when first built. My favorite part was the two windows in the kitchen with the stained glass. Gorgeous! Thanks Kappy!
Mine, too. I'm so glad the vandals left them alone.
Agreed! That stained glass was so pretty! Really was an incredible old house! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I hope someone removes them and puts them to good use before the wrecking ball arrives! And some of the ceiling light fixtures look like they’re worth salvaging as well.
hey if you can send me an email Id like to know what those properties are Im an investor I buy fix up and sell Im interested in some of those properties at home theyre gorgeous they really would take a lot to get them back into shape with the right Crew
That place is AMAZING ! The stained glass is beautiful, they should try to salvage that before they tear down the house . Stained glass is worth a lot of money these days.
I really appreciate your channel. No swearing or many other ppl distracting and noise bombing the video. It’s refreshing to find you! ❤
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching! :)
And no annoying background music!l
I wonder if the access to the tower was what was behind the plywood since you couldn't find a way up there. This would have probably been a nice house once upon a time. I'm glad you are able to find these gems Kappy and document them.
That’s my guess too! And thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Probably, I've always wanted to do stuff like this, but I'd get in trouble. I'd brought my friend jimmy with me; pretty apt at jimmying things open.
Another house that could be saved but is left to rot. So much of America’s history is being wiped away. Thanks for another great video. Stay safe and God bless. 🙏 😊
I know I’ve mentioned this before but your awareness of silence and letting the space do the work is exceptional. Thank you
But also I love your commentary I hope you get what I mean
This is such a stunner! This is where I wish we had pictures from the home’s early days. It’s really unique. I love the stain glass and the wood work. I know it’s outdated but I even like the brick in the kitchen. The tower looks like something out of a Disney castle. Thanks Kappy for another great find! Please stay safe ♥️
Me too! I would’ve loved to find a black and white picture of it in its hey day! Such a beautiful house! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching! :)
Wow! As for that mystery door the first thing that popped into my mind was The Twilight Zone! You never know! And that window where you paused to watch the rain come down…I could just see a woman standing there gazing out thinking how beautiful the rain was. When I look at houses like this, my brain sees all the potential. Someone (in a perfectly wonderful world) should get a group of investors, carpenters, plumbers, restoration people etc… and rehab what can be rehabbed. The top of the tower could be recreated, trim, interior furnishings like the wood cook stove, tub, wood stove , could be pulled out and either rehabbed or sold, and take the house down to the bare bones. Save for the floors! Make it new again and either sell it for more than anyone could afford or make it a homeless shelter, a health clinic, whatever and start giving back to this world instead of everyone taking everything they possibly can. There are so many filthy rich people who wouldn’t even notice if they parted with a million dollars. But that would never happen so I’ll just keep dreaming! Excellent find Kappy!
My thoughts exactly!!!
It was very bizarre that only the one doorway was boarded up! With two pieces of plywood, very strange! Such a beautiful old place, hope it is saved! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
I agree! I hate seeing these places go to waste. if I had money, I would be an investor.

Unfortunately houses like that sit awaiting developers to cut up the land and build condos and strip malls.
Thanks for sharing this. I lived in Connecticut for years and it often bothered me when I'd see old houses that were obviously once beautiful and someone's home, now abandoned and dilapidated. I'm glad you were able to capture this before it's gone.
The floor boards are amazing! You can’t buy boards that size no more for sure. What a house this must have been back in its hay day. It’s a shame to see homes like this rot down to nothing. But I’m glad you went in to see what’s left before this home is lost to history. Great content Kappy!
Agreed! They were massive! Thank you very much for watching! :)
It would have been a nice home back-in-its-day... with probably that back part a addition later to added, but I do not see it as a MANSION. Its floor-to-ceiling height was short for scope of a Victorian to be higher-end and the woodwork was basic for average homes... but decent oak when natural originally.
IT IS MISSING high-ceilings and arched entryways also and gotta have a main staircase to showcase a grand entry or room. The TOWER portion is what gives it that "Victorian Mansion" MYSTIC about its exterior.... its interior would have fell short by the rest of the house... Wide planked floors were just quicker to construct vs a intricate hardwood floor to show-off and doorways basic. Upstairs again basic common home look of the era.... THE THIS IS AMAZING? Well, once you see true Victorians and homes that were higher-end.... you know the difference.
SORRY MY OPINION FALLS SHORT I GUESS... again... without the Tower it would be seen as just a country home in the woods.
Clearly this home is yet savable.... just won't be too long its tower might be lost as leaks are a cancer to old wood quickly and more storms will take its toll.
It started as a very old house maybe circa 1700s, that was renovated during the Victorian period (the tower was added and third floor redone). I think the floor plan may have made some sense at that time. Once the last owners got their hands on it, and turned it into a maze with all the new sheet rock walls, it became unlivable. It looks like they got themselves so confused they accidentally sealed the access to the third floor...what incompetence..
I agree that this seems older than what he says; also, in these old houses, the bedrooms connect to one another, not always to the hallways as much. We have many in my town and my ancestors' house in upstate NY had the same thing.
The walls were a dead give away for a remodel lol shame; I wonder what the original rooms would've looked like. Some paneling, wallpaper maybe?
This house was somebody's pride and joy, and the old growth floorboards upstairs are nothing shy of amazing! I'm betting the tower played double duty being a place to sit and warm your bones on a chilly sunny day, and a bright place for the kids to play on a rainy day. The stained glass above the door is amazing, and should be saved from the next vandals. The 8 pane floor to ceiling windows must have let some refreshing air in on hot summer nights, I'm sure they have all the original glass in them. Thanks Kappy, see you next time!
I watch a lot of these videos, as I find abandoned buildings totally fascinating. It always saddens me to see once nice things simply get left behind to deteriorate...i.e. appliances, stoves, beds, etc. Always makes me wonder what the lives of the people who lived there were like and what happened to make them all turn their backs on it and walk away.
hey Kappy, you sure do have a killer talent at finding these beautiful abandoned homes keep up the good work 👍🏼😁
Too kind of you too say!! This one was such a beautiful old house I hope it’s saved! Thank you very much for watching! :)

Expecting Morticia to answer the door.
😅
Yesssss
Lol! Thank you for watching! :)
😂
Too funny! I'll bet there's bats in that belfry!
Great old house, great video. This house is in New England? That huge old tree at 16:30 has Spanish moss hanging from it! O.K., now I realize you're showing houses from other locales at the end!
What a beautiful yet strange house! The washer/dryer aren’t that old.. I wonder when and why it was abandoned! With such isolated water damage it is definitely salvageable! I wish I could save them all!!!
That really was a weird layout for the rooms! I loved the stained glass in the kitchen windows. I really enjoyed looking at the outside and inside of this house! Thanks for the explore Kappy! Stay safe! Peace, Kim ~
Love that stained glass window!
It looks bigger on the outside than the inside. It's ashame that it's beyond repair. I'd love to know how they got those heave cast iron woodstoves for the fireplaces up that narrow staircase!!!!!!!
This gorgeous structure would be an awesome bed and breakfast!
What an amazing house! The craftmanship was quite something. Loved the little windows with the stained glass. Sad to see it being left to ruin.
I don't know how anyone could have walked away from this house it probably was so beautiful at one time
This house is an absolute gem with the tower and floor to ceiling windows. I love how the staircase twists and turns, even the paint colors are nice.
Tower portion gives it that must-have-been-a-mansion mystic ... was not a Victorian Mansion vibe once inside. No high-ceilings or arched entryways... no grand staircase and wide-plank floors were just cheaper to build vs more intricate hardwood floors. Upstairs bathroom clearly farmhouse grade by the woodwork. Worth saving.... just was never a Mansion. Large home with a addition yes and probably housed a family with many children.
It's such a shame to see all those old houses that don't look too bad just go to waste 😢
When I see beautiful old homes like this one, I imagine what it must have been like during its glory days. I think of the people who lived there, the children who played in those rooms, food that was cooked in the kitchens. I think of the people who used those knobs to open the doors, all those people who went up and down those stairs. I am an old fool, a dreamer. Sigh!!!Thank you.
You have such a lovable personality, so I feel comfortable giving a bit of advice. Sometimes your written words use the adverb “too” rather than “to”. To help you decide if “too” is correct, exchange it with the word “also” or the word “very”. If either of those two words make sense in the sentence, then “too” is correct. Otherwise, “to” is the applicable word. 😊
I appreciate that! English class in highschool was never my strong suit, but I loved history class!😅 thank you for the help and information! Always appreciated! :)
I love Kappy's videos. I couldn't do it to much of a germaphobe myself but seeing the old houses and the layouts is really fun. Its too bad more of these couldn't be preserved the tower is cool in this one.
So glad to have found you. Can't say what I enjoyed the most. This grand old lady of a house and what she must have been in her heyday. Your sharing it with us without all the annoying background music some others use, ugh. The amazing nature shots you share at the end are in a category of their own and could be a whole other series! Simply stunning!!! Thank you so much for an enjoyable morning break.
Loved seeing the outside shots of moving water & blossom.
Can’t believe they are not saving those beautiful windows. If walls could only talk.😍
I love the tower. I would make that upstairs room my office!
Thanks Kappy, another great one! Wow, imagine sleeping on a warm, breezy summer night, 3rd floor of the rotunda. Had to have been nice.
Beautiful Stove
Beautiful house! A major restoration project to be sure, but think what you'd have at the end! Those peculiar interior walls look like later ill-considered additions. Love the tower- and those floorboards! As always, thanks Kappy!
Kappy tks for a visit to the past such a beautiful place tks for exploring these lovely home remember families lived there and lots of history would love to see home when first built!! Take care love Donna 73 years young!
First few seconds and the bird songs are already beautiful!
Awesome ole house, love the tower end..sooo pretty, amazing old iron stove. You chose a great one today to share..
Would love to see a photo of this house from its heyday. sigh...another beauty sinks into oblivion.
Floorboards are incredible!
Great find! Thanks for sharing. Something tells me the stairwell was blocked off. Somewhere between the upstairs “office” and on way to what seemed liked a private apartment. Too bad the house was renovated in that manner. The large floor boards are amazing and I hope are preserved at some point.
I just love the tower and the wide plank wooden floors!
What a beautiful home that would be after "some" work. I'm watching from Australia, and after seeing this, I want to move to New England, even if it's half empty 🏞
As an american, I was told prostitution was legal in australia...is that true? I live in nevada, the only place in the usa where it is legal.
Bit of an odd layout but the house is really nice. Too much closed off stuff. Don't I have ever seen floorboards that wide before, wow, cool. Great explore.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The blocked off doorway in the upstairs bathroom is probably the stairs to go to the 3rd floor.
Why would there be a staircase in the bathroom??
What a unique old house. I love the stained glass!
Love this house! That tower is so cool!!! Wish we could have seen it in it's glory days. Wish it could be saved! So sad. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Kappy! Wow. Beautiful old place but definitely a weird layout. Loved the wide floor boards. Too bad about grafitti. The tower looked a bit creepy. 😬 Thanks for the explore. ✌️
True! The layout was very bizarre, especially the upstairs, so many remodels! Thank you for watching!! :)
Wow, so many remodeling projects really confused the layout of this house. I think it was used as a business at one time, the kitchen was pretty fancy and not everyone requires a 6 burner stove for everyday use. Pretty cool place, though. The floor boards were amazing. Thanks, Kappy
Definitely had some strange remodeling! Maybe was last a bed and breakfast type place! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
As sad as it is that this once beautiful home has been abandoned and left to rot, it has now been immortalized forever due to this video. Urban Explorers provide us the history that would otherwise be forgotten.
Such an unusual house. Love to know the history of it. The saddest part is the 1970s butcher of all the rooms. Those 14” wide floor boards are worth tons of money. And yes, the stained glass in the kitchen. Thanks Kappy. 🙏👍👍
Can t help but kind of takes you away. The history , life, gets your head thinking about in all. Wow
Wow. This was a strange one. Looks like it’s been empty quite a while. Glory days over long ago. Still interesting as always. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Agreed! The tower was really eye grabbing tho! Thank you very much for watching! :)
It's amazing to me that after all of this time and all of the deterioration, those windows are still intact. I would love to have them. This place must have really been something in it's hey day. In my opinion, even in this state, this place is worth saving.
I live on the east coast. My husband is a builder. My son is a builder. My grandson is an architect. My grand daughter is a designer. My older daughter works in Insurance. My youngest daughter is a farmer/special needs teacher. We rehabbed a house that was stand on a map in 1754. We lived in it for 30 plus years. My oldest daughter owns and lives in it now. These old homes can be beautiful when rehabbed. I wish we could get a look and talk to the owners if it looked doable. We restored to a usable modern home with a age appropriate look.
That place was so chopped up, an insane maze , weird layout , definitely interesting!
😎😎🏠 Kappy!! Another Winchester 🏠 Really loved the kitchen. The stained glass Nice😮
STRANGE HOUSE FOR THE UPSTAIRS,, AND A SCARY VOICE DEEP ,,,.. YA SCARED MY SON .... HA!! HERE WE ARE CHECKING THIS OLD HOUSE!!!!!!!! OUTSIDE..BEAUTIFUL..
That was a mistake in editing! I’m sorry about that! Thank you for watching!
The kitchen and the windows stained glass painted green was my favorite room,very cozy.I liked the original part of the house,it was oddly laid out because i think of the other part added on.The end photos were beautiful,so serene,you always give us a great find,thanks kappy
Parts of this house appears the be 18th century stairs and the wide floor boards , a late Victorian / Edwardian face lift
Exactly my thoughts.
That kitchen and all of those floor to ceiling windows are to die for. Another incredible old home that needs to be covered with roof tarps yesterday to keep it from being destroyed beyond repair.
Took a few guys to get that jetted tub up that tiny staricase. Makes one wonder how they ever did it. Yep, as a retired mechanical engineer, I'd love to see a glimpse of the basement systems, heating boiler, etc. At one time, I'm sure a very large family lived there, and their energy bills to heat it in winter must have been unreal !!!!!
I love it! I think I spotted what might have been the bottom of the staircase that leads up to the top floor. Go back and check at 12:28 and see what you think. It surely would be nice if someone would fix it up. I hate the thought of it being used as a practice burn for the firefighters! I look forward to your next video!
I can't believe I didn't catch that during the video. Is surely does go upward. Thank god for imagination
I second the thought about firefighters. I know it's an important job but that way cool hardwood floor.....😢
I loved some of the rooms of this amazing house which I don't think has been abandoned that long judging by the bathroom fitments, spot lights, and the cooker. The original oven was a beast of a thing but interesting to see. I also loved the staircase but it looked like a secondary one to me and I expected a much grander main one, perhaps ripped out in an attempt to modernise? I reckon the staircase to the top floor could have been behind the boarded area of the bathroom, just a thought. And the tower rooms with all those tall windows were just lovely. I really enjoyed this house, something about it, not sure what.
Thanks Kappy for the awesome explore of that old beautiful house.
I love stormy days and the sounds of the weather really added to your video I think. Really cool and that house is so amazing.
Such a beautiful house. It looks like it has good bones. It would be wonderful if someone would fix it up and save the caricature of the original structure.
Definitely an interesting old house. Considering that there were so many blocked off areas.... Basement, attic and that one room. I can't help but wonder what they were hiding.
Maybe I watch too many paranormal shows…they had to nail the door as an attempt to keep the spirits at bay.
With me being so darn curious, I would definitely like to take a peek at least. x
I agree! Will remain a mystery too me! Thanks for watching!! :)
Probably to save a little money by not heating those areas.
@@kenbsd1049 but just shutting a door would have the same outcome. There was no need to nail boards over doorways or seal off access to basements and attics. I have an attic access and have never opened it. But I could still get into it.
This at one time had to be beautiful. The upstairs was crazy. Someone had something in mind when it was built.Thank you.
Such a beautiful house.If someone had lots of money, they could make it great again.
One of your more, if not most, intriguing explores. Some graffitti but not nearly as bad as some places you visited. That stove, the windows, and some of the original woodwork were amazing. The strange layout no doubt was a result of it being carved into apartments. Thanks, Kappy!
A lot of old abandoned mansions have a piano. Some time I’d like to see the UA-camr sit down and start jamming🎵😄
Greetings from. South Central Alaska enjoy all of your videos they're informative and just the right amount of humor..what's up guys and the guys counter...keep it up
Wow those boards 😳 beautiful… think it had some strange remodeling… Can’t wait for the next one Kappy! Thanks
Somehow, I knew I’d see an orb 1:40. Did it feel eerie in there?
13:16 14:26 Hehehe, I _LIKE_ Scary Kappy! 😅
The way to the upstairs is probably through that boarded-up doorway in that first bathroom.
Agreed! Sadly was boarded up tight for some strange reason! Bizarre! Maybe I’ll have too come back someday! Thanks for watching! :)
What a grand old 'lady'! Great to see such a little amount of vandalism, but her future doesn't have much hope😢. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for sharing the beauty,such a blessing!
Another winner! I really like this place even though it was It had a lot of Beautiful Things going on with it
The birds singing is so great too! 🥰🌲🌄🌲🐦🐦🐦🐦
I would have loved to see this house when it was first built!
Following along I think the plywood covered door was the other side of the bathroom with the jetted tub.
Amazing house love the old stoves and the style and shape of the house well done another great video.
I think this was a case of the house being much nicer on the outside or interesting than the inside. I did love seeing that big wood-burning cook stove. I really enjoy seeing the homes at the end! I all have such great character.❣️❣️❣️
True! That tower on the exterior is really eye catching! But lots of remodels done inside! The staircase was really pretty though! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thanks Kappy! I really enjoy all your vidoe's. I would love to see a picture of you and Ruby!
I wish they would at least salvage those floorboards and beautiful windows before they burn the place down! What a waste! 😢
What an absolutely amazing landscape for an amazing property.
Awesome video thanks
Thank you, Kappy! The house Whisperer! ❤️🇺🇸
Haha thank you!! Too kind of you say! :)
If I ever win the lottery, I will move heaven and earth to restore this grand lady to her original beauty!
Those floors at 7:55…beautiful.
Gorgeous stain glass windows in the kitchen. Heard you comment no stairs to the 3rd story, yes, curious on the top of the tower, just no stairs, thank you for trying..
Urban Exploring with Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me about Huge Beautiful Abandoned Mansion in New England *Left Forgotten For Decades it is sad to see it be gone but i guess that is what happens when time changes thanks for sharing this my friend and God Bless.
Old houses are often very choppy but this one is almost like a maze. I think people did some renovating and added walls. It's not my top favorite but it's certainly on the list. You did it again Kappy!!
To me, part of the charm of old houses is the maze like floor plan. I am not a fan of "open concept," and they don't build them like this any more.
@@megfuchs9425 Oh; I am with you on this. Love the old houses and everything about them.
Hi Kappy, this old place has a WOW factor! The wide floor boards indicate age. Looks like they added on as the family grew. Wish we knew the history of the original owners, must be vevry interes ting! Thanks Kappy , really enjoyed this one.
Loved those huge floorboards upstairs!! Just incredible! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Great job filming it before it goes. Thank you.
Gave me goosebumps. I have had a bad dream a few times lately and reminded me of the first room and stairs? Awesome through!❤
12:02
What’s totally 💯% amazing is all the graffiti but no broken windows.
You explore some very interesting old houses and you do a great job putting it all together, and this voice 13:19 really adds to the eeriness of the video. Thanks for your content
That was a mistake In editing sorry about that! Thanks for watching! :)
Another nice video. Thanks. The only nice things left in this place are the two windows in the kitchen and some of the flooring.
