I think it would be really cool if somebody cleaned it out and made it into a house again, but doing it the right way. We have a freind who did this to a school school from the 1800s. It's really neat. I was happy to see new videos. Thank you Pam!
A true urban explorer (and a woman, too!). I love your videos because you take enough time for your viewers to actually get a good look at everything (as opposed to some of those hacks out there who quickly pan around without giving the viewer enough time to even look at what they're viewing); you're very respectful of the property; and your voice is a soothing narrative of everything I'm seeing; and you're brave as hell! I wouldn't have enough courage to walk into dark, abandoned basements by myself. I always look forward to your new ones. Please keep up the good work, and thank you so much.
Too bad you couldn't show your admiration for Tikitrex without putting down other urban explorers and referring to them as hacks. Everyone has their own style.
I don't need to accept YOUR opinion, you're simply free to have it. Just like you have a defensive attitude. I don't care about you. My comment to you is free for anyone on this page to read. I won't apologize for being non judgmental of others who enjoy urban exploration just as much as the rest of us and are brave enough to go out and conquer it.
Wow Tiki, I can honestly say that is the first time I ever saw an above ground "land fill!" That old wringer washer sure brought back memories of my mom wrestling with the beast we had. Doing laundry with that thing was really a chore. Just amazing all the stuff left behind. As always excellent job, thank you. Take care.
Above ground landfill! That is for sure! I thought I was dumpster diving, lol I remember my mother wrestling with those washers as well. Things have sure come a long way. You take care as well, Jim, and thanks for your comment.
I just love Ontario. My family and I spent a lot of summers on a lake in Southern Ontario and the cabin we stayed in was right beside an abandoned cabin. We used to look in it all the time but I never had the guts to actually walk around inside. Wish I had though! Thanks for sharing your finds!
Hi Tiki, this was a common layout for older schools. The mirrored rooms in the basement are the boy's and girl's coatrooms along with the corresponding bathrooms. I'll bet you $5 that it was an elderly single woman living there (there's a tiny chance she was a teacher there or attended school there) based on the types of items hoarded.
I really, really dig your videos! No pretension, no stupid theme music, no dumb commentary about ghosts or other non-essential things. Just exploration and reporting! Keep up the good work!
I’m so sad, I used to drive by this place all the time and dream about fixing it up (even though it was beyond repair 😂), and once stopped to get pics. I didn’t go inside because I had someone in the car so was on a time crunch, but I’m so happy I can still watch this video! Just drove by last week and it’s totally gone 😭 Not sure what they’re going to do on that plot. I’m so glad you got a chance to capture it on film though!
I really enjoy watching your video's! That 'furnace' in the basement/lower part of the building is also called an Octopus Furnace. Hence the pipes going in all directions. Mainly coal burned gravity hot air type of furnace. The air is heated and the hot air will rise slowly into the vents to heat the rooms, without the use of a fan, as hot air rises. Each vent is attached to it's own duct/pipe from the furnace. Later many were converted into oil furnaces. (1950's) Thanks for sharing!!
I've just discovered your channel and I'm watching all your vids. Out of all the places I've seen so far this one gives me the biggest urge to clean up and restore. love this building.
Tiki, I live in Ohio, 🇱🇷 I have an albumn of one room school houses. A friend took me around 50 miles to collect the pictures. There was a few in Mansfield where I live. Some were lived in and some were pretty bad condition. I bought a one room school house bell at a antique store as well as a few old school books. I also had the desk and a few other items. I have always wanted to live in a one room school house.🥰 God Bless and be safe.🙏 Cathy🌻
Tiki, I wonder who owns this property? It's sad to see this one room in this condition with all this trash plus it's starting to determinate.😔☹️. I wonder why the owner just didn't sell. I love it.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
I love these types of videos! Thank you for uploading this! I love seeing old structures! For some odd reason they make me really happy! Like seeing old black and white photos of hospitals and random people make me feel happy! I'm only 12, and no one I personally know likes this type of stuff, I love it!
Fascinating- bummed out it is over. wow-I missed this back when it was posted-BIG Thank You! oh my gosh, you make the best urbex videos of anyone, you show us the cool stuff, ans it always freaks me out how you'll actually show and talk about the things I would take notice of myself. Clothes left hanging in such a place, always gives me the creeps. I grew up around some old places like this one, a 'ghost town' of the 1860s in Kansas...[However, there was not as much leftover junk.] Thank you for the great experience. I don't envy you the smells, though. haha
I just drove by this place earlier today nothing much has changed, the two cars are still sitting out front (Dodge Tradesman Van, Dodge Omni Station Wagon) Happy to say the building is still standing but there is a hole in the roof I don't recall if it was there when this video was first made or not. Don't bother asking, I'm not giving out where this location is, I'm not an Urban Explorer but I do respect their beliefs and rules. All I'm going to say is it's about 45 minutes away from Owen Sound Ontario
This old school in Ontario looks remarkably similar to the local schools found in the U.S. Many were transformed into residences or barns in the US as well. Great video, messy house...
Don't know how i missed this one.Wow amazing you could even walk. I don't think I've seen so much junk.LOL I've seen some doozys but this one takes the cake! Great job Pam!
The washer dryer is called a twin tub. It has wheels and can be moved around--you hook it up to the sink and you move the washed clothes out of the washing part into a spinner. It doesn't really dry them, but it sure spins out a lot of water. I grew up with one and my Mom still has one. I think you can still buy them--they make a lot of sense for people with no hookups, low water, or limited space. Lots of nostalgia in this video for me, actually--we had a floor buffer like that and the hippie flowers on the mixer were like everything my Mom owned. I suspect that no one has lived here for a long time and that a lot of this stuff was only stored at a later date but never retrieved. Sort of a shame because you couldn't see the building well, but seeing that old furnace made my day. I love that sort of thing...
Incredible place. If there was a location like this near me, I would have surely explored it in a HEARTBREAK! Thanks for taking us along. I love the one-room schoolhouses (as you probably know) LOL
LOL. I can understand why you love these. I've been searching for so long without much luck around here, too. It is so hard to find any that are open around here like this one which I was lucky to find much further north. They are either boarded up or converted to homes. Thanks for stopping by!
I want to let you know, how happy I am the way you show with your camera, not jerky like a lot of newbies are doing nice and even moving. very explained nothing disturbed by you. I really do look for your videos. Thank you your awesome. marylin
It's a 1900 1 room school house, the stairs one side boys the other girls same as the basement! One side boys bathroom the other one is for the girls, the up stairs the wall on the far end would of been corner to corner chalk board
It’s actually still there, I just visited it today! I stumbled upon it just by chance after watching this video a few months ago. I love this video, so I’m glad I got to see it in person. It’s a shame it’s just been left there to rot; if I had the money I’d restore it in a heartbeat.
Pam, this is one of the best smaller finds you have come across. The armoire and dresser are from around the 1940's or 1950's, btw. I thought you'd like to know that. Most of the time I am pretty good with knowing what decade furniture was produced, etc. Another excellent video and commentary! Thanks for posting! I hope you're having a great week and weekend! -- Alex.
You said "look at the floor" Tiki I can't see the floor LOL And in the corner we find grandma squashed under the fallen celing. It was a possibility. There wasn't a bathroom? Maybe at the front of the building. You did well to navigate all of that with a camera in hand. Thanks.
LOL, this is true about the floor. There was a bathroom in the basement at 12:46 timeline, and then in the other basement entrance, there appeared to be a bathroom stall at 15:15, but I couldn't get to it due to the stuff in the way.
Amongst all that junk their is probably gold. :o) You could just about live in there and you wouldn't have to buy anything except a few repairs to the roof and windows. You've got a furnace and a woodstove utensils, cups and saucers.Even a fondu pot. Tons of rubbish to burn. its all there you just have to find it. LOL
Hi Tiki, I have read through the comments on some of your videos, and someone mentioned your name being Pam, I like that name, as for my name is Pam too. I like your narration alot. I like your attention to detail , your bravery, your calm demeanor , your true interest in history, slow panning with the camera, most of all the narration . I have become a fan. Thankyou for bringing us your videos
Hello "Tiki Trex", I am from Venezuela (South America), I really like to watch your videos, I am passionate about the issue of abandoned and mysterious houses and . Is fascinating to know who lived there and how they lived... you are very brave to do these videos alone...... Thanks and regards
+Ana M Trompiz F Hello Ana. You're most welcome. Nice to "meet" someone from Venezuela here on my channel. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Cheers from Canada.
Wow!! Pam, you hit the ultimate house of hoards here!! The stove and furnace were awesome. I was thinking it would be nice to see the house cleared out to be able to see the layout of it. It looked really unique. Bet there's a lot of treasures buried there!! You had me a little concerned with that fallen ceiling for a sec....lol.....very fun and interesting tour!! Thanks for sharing and Take Care!! :)
Also it's amazing how fast things decay. I would have been 2 years old when this house was abandoned, very young yet still alive. Most urban explorers as of 2016 were alive in 1995. Although I could see someone born up to maybe 1997-1998 being a good urban explorer. I saw something where a 17 year old (at the time) went into Dixie Square Mall and took lots of pictures and documented it really well. February 13, 2016 12:55 am
Tiki, your absolutely amazing, to venture thru that mess, & still do good video. Looks like gone thru many changes, with the windows, Church, then school,. then to house..
Tiki, I think you have found a hoarder's paradise! Never seen a building laid out like that one. The big wood furnace is quite unique and unusual. Would like to see that place cleaned out so we could get a better perspective of what it once looked like. Thanks for the great tour. Looking forward to more.
This was fascinating! I like the way you take the time to sort of let us "snoop" a bit! I cannot imagine walking away and leaving so much STUFF! It seemed very dangerous on the main level in terms of the ceiling only being supported by some old pieces of furniture. I always speculate on who lived in these places and why they left their belongings! Great tour Tiki! Thanks
Looks to me at some point, after being a school possibly, it was used to hold donations (toys, blankets, clothing, misc. furniture, appliances, handicap toilet etc.). Many items still appear to be in bags & boxes. Maybe after it was abandoned it was ransacked a few times. It does look like it was used to stay in as well, but, doesn't look like it was used long term or as an actual residence, IMO. Love all the time you spend showing us details! I can tell it takes quite a bit of effort, and we really appreciate it all!!!
Tiki, I was kinda scared for you on this one, considering all that stuff, but you're a pro at this! It would have been nice to see the layout of that home but there was just so much clutter. Great video as usual!
Im binge watching your videos!!! Finals are finally over: ) All I want to do is catch up on your beautiful explorations!!!! Thanks for sharing these with us.
Wow, what a mess! Makes me want to go clean my house! I always wanted to buy an old church and turn it into a home, but after seeing this mess I may change my mind! To bad it is in such bad shape. Thanks for the look around, be safe and enjoy!
This wasn't really shaky at all, so no worries there. Amazing amount of junk, littered almost in every inch. I would of been inspecting it all, but I enjoy the way you do it and your pleasant commentary. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures exploring abandoned properties
If it used to be a church, perhaps they ran a charity shop or people handed items in to be given to those on a very low income, such as the toys, lots of those.
What an interesting old place! It's really a shame it's been so horribly junked up. I love that old furnace in the basement. And the old stove. Such neat finds!
You should have looked in those old purses, sometimes they contain a treasure of information about the people who lived there. I found an old purse in the house where I grew up and my parents had been dead for over 30 years. Inside the old purse was my report cards from all twelve years while I was in school. One thing I found but didn't remember was I missed a month of school in the 6th grade due to illness or some sort.
Thanks for posting 😃 I don't know how you kept the camera sooooo steady ,but you did a great job !!! Some people can't keep a camera that steady on a clean flat surface!!! Can't wait for the next one. Thanks again . Frank 😄
You did an awesome job with this video keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the other videos you have in store for us to see with your finds. Just could never imagine accumulating that much stuff. That would be a show for hoarders in it self. Cassie
***** at 7:16 that's the old "Barbie cut and style"! they were really popular when I was about 12ish. I remember them so well, they came with make-up etc...so crazy to see one is such great shape!
This is one of the best walk troughs I've seen so far; you boldly go where few would dare to go...if you fell down in this place; you would not hit the floor because of all the junk...it's like a time capsule in there...scary moment when you panned the camera over to the jewelry box with the "blue eyed girl" that caught me by surprise,,,great tour tiki.
+David Rodriguez This was a fun one indeed. I enjoy places like this that have so much to see. And yes, at least there was lots of padding on the floor, lol.
Those large pieces of furniture under the ceiling were old, no doubt antiques! Look at that buffet and wardrobe... Beautiful! I suppose when this old school was demolished no one bothered to save them, that is so sad to me. The whole place is sad, a place where many children learned and played reduced to this. Great explore though, many things to see!
Great find. Surprised you walked thru all that stuff. Loved the wood stove and the wood furnace. Lived in a place in Upstate NY that had one of those furnaces in the basement. Never had to split wood for those things. Great video and your very steady with the video camera.
Wow, what a dump. Don't worry your camera work on top of junk is better than most walking on flat ground. You don't throw caution to the wind, seems like I remember you walking up some steps to the floor that was mostly missing, lol, just teasing, I don't blame you a bit. Have to trust your instincts and be safe so you can take us on many more adventures. Thanks, as always great video. I think that was the house of misfit toys, oh boy Christmas is soon!
My mother had one of those Kenmore apartment washers when I was a kid. It hooked up to the kitchen sink for water and drainage. It had two compartments, the first one was large and you washed the clothes in it and the second one was smaller you rinsed and spinned the clothes out in it. They washed fairly decent, but you couldn't do very large loads at a time.
I did see a cross on the stairwell going down stairs too! It was laying on the left side. Had a furnace like that in a house I once owned. I was told it was a gravity fed one. Never knew quite what that meant. Changed it out to regular. Wish I would have saved it and sold it outright. Gave it away. Looks so cool.
What a beautiful place to live that would be and great vid as usual. Also, didn't know if you know what S.S. stands for but it is School Section. A lot of schools in the late 19th century and early 20th used numbers instead of names :) Just in case you didn't know.
OK watched again, not to be boring on the furnace but I noticed when you show the doors if you look in lower right of frame you will see a cast iron protrusion with a lid. This is the humidifier, you would keep water in it (easier said than done) and it would heat (steam) and add moisture to air for house.........
I don't find it boring at all. I appreciate the information you have to offer as I have no idea how that furnace works. Very interesting to know. Thanks, Russ.
Kool detail! Forced-air furnances just tend to dry out the air and give you crackly skin. It's already bad enough in winter with the low humidity so that would be a cool feature. :)
Merry Christmas TikiTrex.I hope you have a most excellent Christmas and I hope that the Joy of the season fill's you for the whole year.I hope God Blesses you and all your family and friends and keep's you all safe and well.I wish you the very best of this Special Birthday.Merry Christmas and God Bless.Kev.
Hello, Pam. This was a terrific video. The place doesn't look too bad on the outside (except for the lack of windows and some weathering. The inside is a different story. The consensus here is that the last tenant was a hoarder, but it's possible they were squatters. Some people turn these old buildings into private garbage dumps; you've shown us that on some other videos. This could be considered a historic structure; some ambitious person could save it yet.
Wow! What a beautiful structure! If I had money I'd would buy it and restore it. It's got good bones. Looks like somebody was using the upstairs as a studio type apartment.
OH-EM-GEE! Thanks for focussing on books and magazines. This place literally had "everything. However the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is not going to be affixed to the property any time soon. The vehicles followed the decorative theme. How Quaint. Thanks, brave Tiki-Pam.
At 5:36 A Danish cherry liqueur that follows a hundred year old family recipe and is made entirely from Danish cherries. funny that there is such one there....greeting from Denmark ... ps love you'r video's
I agree with ShowerDancer. I think someone lived there, but then turned it into storage? It's so creepy that someone just up and left all their possessions. Those antiques are so pretty.
The Kenmore washing machine is cool - they were very popular here in the UK in the 70s and 80s and often made by Hotpoint and Hoover. They had a top loading washer like US machines and a spin dryer that took most of the water out the clothes ready for hanging :)
Looked like the school house was used for living the way some of the furniture & other things were set up. Would be very interesting to pick through the junk to see what there is. Some of the stuff look so old. Thanks Tiki
Oh my goodness, You are way more sure footed than me & brave ! AWESOME job, how interesting maybe abandoned for some 30 yrs ? LOVE you videos.. Thank you for sharing & braving for us !
Great job!! Excellent find. I would have been in there all day. As others have posted, no need to say sorry for camera work! The furnace in this one is a "gravity" type as I have mentioned in other posts. No forced air/fan, the heated air just went up the big center pipe (if you could have seen the floor you would have found a huge register directly over it.) The large pipes coming back are cold air returns and it all just worked on hot air rising/cold air falling. They probably used wood cook stove to help heat also. Just a historical note on these: the heated air was always close to the center of building and cold air registers around perimeter. Now this is completely reversed.
That place is definitely a "pickers paradise" one can imagine the teacher telling a couple kids to go chop some wood and stoke up the furnace! thanks TikiTrex another great vid! hopefully we all won't have such a harsh winter, but snow is forecast for Halloween.
Hi Pam, and as always a great job with the video, it had to be very difficult to walk over all the stuffed animals and plastic bottles covering the floors in this place. I loved seeing the old "Cone Top" furnace. I was a little concerned if the floors were still safe for you to be walking on. Please never take any chances with your safety. We do not need to see any old bldg that is not safe for you to explore. thanks so much Pam and take care.
20:17 that sound what was it like ghostly sound ?. sent cools thru me. lol nice video Tiki . Sad that people left it like that. it be easy give people who need homes to give these building to them. by the way '''welcome back missed ya......from virginia
What a building with an interesting story! Upstairs near the antique furniture/table I noticed what looked like maybe a fridge further back. Like they were using the dressers/chests as kitchen cabinets? Two bathroom stalls because one for boys/girls back when it was a school house?
Hi Pam, another great video as usual. We don't mind the shakiness of the camera, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't see these great places, so long as your careful and safe, that's all that counts :-)
wow, this place would definitely have to be at the top of your list for the most junk/hoarding. it's a wonder you didn't twist an ankle walking through there.
My late uncle in-law and we had Dodge Aries wagons at different times. :) 4:00 You know a lot about girls' toys even though you had boys ^_^ Or was it both? 4:19 That mayonaise looks disgustingly deadly LOL Man, they just trashed that place. I like the woodwork so far anyway though ^_^ 6:15 For a moment I thought the Sears catalog was a Barbie Doll in a package haha. It seems to me whoever put the ceiling in did a poor job of it. It shouldn't have fallen down without a bad leak. 8:30 Don't worry about the noise. Your voice makes it all worth it ;) Ya know, I can almost imagine you nimbly climbing over all that stuff but I recommend investing in a machete and hacking a path as you go rofl. OR a chainsaw for extra-heavy 'underbrush.' 10:40 I wouldn't be comfortable changing a lightbulb under that shoddy ceiling -_- It is strangely surreal under that collaps; It's almost like a separate little room. 11:50 Shave those flowers, hippie blender! Heehee 13:35 I reckon the "Coldspot" brand was phased out because it's so unimaginative. In fact it reminds me of those paranormal shows where they claim to walk into cold areas and their EMF meters go off the charts lolz. Wikipedia says it was replaced with Kenmore, which most of us know. :D More like "canned bads" at this point. 15:00 That jar of nails would be handy to have. 15:20 The layout probably wouldn't be so bad without all the garbage strewn about. 15:45 I can tell from here that overcoat would be way too small for me roflol 16:20 That thing must be ancient. Probably older than my aunt's steam boiler. With the bedpan you pointed out, the commode and the old coats and pajamas it's apparent an old, possibly disabled man lived in that room last. 17:05 A gas meter could have been housed in that but none of the stoves appeared to use gas. 19:30 I have a Sunbeam A/C so they're very much in business :P As always, a fascinating and wonderful explore, Pam! This is one of the more mysterious ones. It really has a lot of odds and ends but the rooms have certain distictions giving clues as to what sort of people lived in them. Thanks for taking us along !
Wow, always look forward to your breakdown analysis of these places, Lewis! Love the machete and chainsaw idea! LOL! I wish every place I came across was like this one, with more ease of trekking, though. As far as the girls' toys go, I actually found out about them from the "Abandoned Nut House" (lol) I explored. There was a glow worm doll outside of that one as well. I didn't really know what it was, but my viewers corrected me. So I guess we learn something new every day. Thanks as always for your humorous and insightful comments! :)
why do so many houses have stuff all over the floor. someone literally had to spread that stuff out. who ever lived there must have been a serious hoarder.
hi Pam, enjoyed this video, what a bunch of stuff! This is John Jon. I had to create a new channel, had problems with the other one. I would be overwhelmed seeing that much stuff like that. But there were a lot of old things in there. That washer/drier you found was a portable thing that you hooked up to the kitchen sink. My sister-in-law had one in 1967. It reminds of a time I had forgotten. Thank you.
All I can think of are the spiders. And please don't apologize for the shaking camera. I'm just thankful you don't get hurt. ANd I find myself carrying a conversation with you. LOL!!! THen I think, she can't hear me, but I still do it. LOL!!!
I think it would be really cool if somebody cleaned it out and made it into a house again, but doing it the right way. We have a freind who did this to a school school from the 1800s. It's really neat.
I was happy to see new videos. Thank you Pam!
A true urban explorer (and a woman, too!). I love your videos because you take enough time for your viewers to actually get a good look at everything (as opposed to some of those hacks out there who quickly pan around without giving the viewer enough time to even look at what they're viewing); you're very respectful of the property; and your voice is a soothing narrative of everything I'm seeing; and you're brave as hell! I wouldn't have enough courage to walk into dark, abandoned basements by myself.
I always look forward to your new ones. Please keep up the good work, and thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words.
Too bad you couldn't show your admiration for Tikitrex without putting down other urban explorers and referring to them as hacks. Everyone has their own style.
No one was mentioned by name; I'm entitled to my opinions (good and bad); and it's too bad you you can't accept that.
I don't need to accept YOUR opinion, you're simply free to have it. Just like you have a defensive attitude. I don't care about you. My comment to you is free for anyone on this page to read. I won't apologize for being non judgmental of others who enjoy urban exploration just as much as the rest of us and are brave enough to go out and conquer it.
Funny how you say I'm defensive yet I'm not the one who needs to write a whole paragraph just to prove it.
Wow Tiki, I can honestly say that is the first time I ever saw an above ground "land fill!" That old wringer washer sure brought back memories of my mom wrestling with the beast we had. Doing laundry with that thing was really a chore. Just amazing all the stuff left behind. As always excellent job, thank you. Take care.
Above ground landfill! That is for sure! I thought I was dumpster diving, lol I remember my mother wrestling with those washers as well. Things have sure come a long way. You take care as well, Jim, and thanks for your comment.
I just love Ontario. My family and I spent a lot of summers on a lake in Southern Ontario and the cabin we stayed in was right beside an abandoned cabin. We used to look in it all the time but I never had the guts to actually walk around inside. Wish I had though! Thanks for sharing your finds!
Hi Tiki, this was a common layout for older schools. The mirrored rooms in the basement are the boy's and girl's coatrooms along with the corresponding bathrooms. I'll bet you $5 that it was an elderly single woman living there (there's a tiny chance she was a teacher there or attended school there) based on the types of items hoarded.
That would be kinda sad...a former teacher living in the place she spent her life working in only to watch it crumble around her as she ages o_o
I really, really dig your videos! No pretension, no stupid theme music, no dumb commentary about ghosts or other non-essential things. Just exploration and reporting!
Keep up the good work!
I’m so sad, I used to drive by this place all the time and dream about fixing it up (even though it was beyond repair 😂), and once stopped to get pics. I didn’t go inside because I had someone in the car so was on a time crunch, but I’m so happy I can still watch this video! Just drove by last week and it’s totally gone 😭 Not sure what they’re going to do on that plot. I’m so glad you got a chance to capture it on film though!
I really enjoy watching your video's! That 'furnace' in the basement/lower part of the building is also called an Octopus Furnace. Hence the pipes going in all directions. Mainly coal burned gravity hot air type of furnace. The air is heated and the hot air will rise slowly into the vents to heat the rooms, without the use of a fan, as hot air rises. Each vent is attached to it's own duct/pipe from the furnace. Later many were converted into oil furnaces. (1950's) Thanks for sharing!!
I've just discovered your channel and I'm watching all your vids. Out of all the places I've seen so far this one gives me the biggest urge to clean up and restore. love this building.
Tiki,
I live in Ohio, 🇱🇷
I have an albumn of one room school houses. A friend took me around 50 miles to collect the pictures. There was a few in Mansfield where I live. Some were lived in and some were pretty bad condition. I bought a one room school house bell at a antique store as well as a few old school books. I also had the desk and a few other items. I have always wanted to live in a one room school house.🥰
God Bless and be safe.🙏 Cathy🌻
Tiki,
I wonder who owns this property? It's sad to see this one room in this condition with all this trash plus it's starting to determinate.😔☹️. I wonder why the owner just didn't sell. I love it.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
I love these types of videos! Thank you for uploading this! I love seeing old structures! For some odd reason they make me really happy! Like seeing old black and white photos of hospitals and random people make me feel happy! I'm only 12, and no one I personally know likes this type of stuff, I love it!
This is one of my favorites that you have visited. The old wood burning furnace and old furniture in the main room. I just love it. Thanks
That place has some pretty sturdy-looking bones. Would be neat to see someone pull all those antiques out of there and do something with the place.
Fascinating- bummed out it is over.
wow-I missed this back when it was posted-BIG Thank You!
oh my gosh, you make the best urbex videos of anyone, you show us the cool stuff, ans it always freaks me out how you'll actually show and talk about the things I would take notice of myself. Clothes left hanging in such a place, always gives me the creeps. I grew up around some old places like this one, a 'ghost town' of the 1860s in Kansas...[However, there was not as much leftover junk.] Thank you for the great experience. I don't envy you the smells, though. haha
I just drove by this place earlier today nothing much has changed, the two cars are still sitting out front (Dodge Tradesman Van, Dodge Omni Station Wagon)
Happy to say the building is still standing but there is a hole in the roof I don't recall if it was there when this video was first made or not.
Don't bother asking, I'm not giving out where this location is, I'm not an Urban Explorer but I do respect their beliefs and rules.
All I'm going to say is it's about 45 minutes away from Owen Sound Ontario
19:51, you are a true Canadian, you apologized to the mess. LOL
This old school in Ontario looks remarkably similar to the local schools found in the U.S. Many were transformed into residences or barns in the US as well. Great video, messy house...
Don't know how i missed this one.Wow amazing you could even walk. I don't think I've seen so much junk.LOL I've seen some doozys but this one takes the cake! Great job Pam!
Thanks, Jason! Yeah, this was one of the worst ones I've seen as well for junk. Definitely a challenging balancing exercise, lol. Take care!
The washer dryer is called a twin tub. It has wheels and can be moved around--you hook it up to the sink and you move the washed clothes out of the washing part into a spinner. It doesn't really dry them, but it sure spins out a lot of water. I grew up with one and my Mom still has one. I think you can still buy them--they make a lot of sense for people with no hookups, low water, or limited space. Lots of nostalgia in this video for me, actually--we had a floor buffer like that and the hippie flowers on the mixer were like everything my Mom owned. I suspect that no one has lived here for a long time and that a lot of this stuff was only stored at a later date but never retrieved. Sort of a shame because you couldn't see the building well, but seeing that old furnace made my day. I love that sort of thing...
So happy to see you've uploaded Pam! Another great find :)
Thanks, Alan :)
Excellent tour. I loved that furnace. I was thinking that stoned wall area was a coal chute boarded up. Love your videos!
Incredible place. If there was a location like this near me, I would have surely explored it in a HEARTBREAK! Thanks for taking us along. I love the one-room schoolhouses (as you probably know) LOL
LOL. I can understand why you love these. I've been searching for so long without much luck around here, too. It is so hard to find any that are open around here like this one which I was lucky to find much further north. They are either boarded up or converted to homes. Thanks for stopping by!
I want to let you know, how happy I am the way you show with your camera, not jerky like a lot of newbies are doing nice and even moving. very explained nothing disturbed by you. I really do look for your videos. Thank you your awesome.
marylin
paperroses352 Kaufman Thank you for letting me know that, Marylin. Your positive feedback means a lot.
It's a 1900 1 room school house, the stairs one side boys the other girls same as the basement! One side boys bathroom the other one is for the girls, the up stairs the wall on the far end would of been corner to corner chalk board
I recognize this place because of the vehicles out front. it was torn down last year by mennonites and is now a gorgeous farm.
Thanks for that information.
It’s actually still there, I just visited it today! I stumbled upon it just by chance after watching this video a few months ago. I love this video, so I’m glad I got to see it in person. It’s a shame it’s just been left there to rot; if I had the money I’d restore it in a heartbeat.
Pam, this is one of the best smaller finds you have come across. The armoire and dresser are from around the 1940's or 1950's, btw. I thought you'd like to know that. Most of the time I am pretty good with knowing what decade furniture was produced, etc. Another excellent video and commentary! Thanks for posting! I hope you're having a great week and weekend! -- Alex.
2 Bibles, a bottle of wine, and a jar of Vaseline...what the hell happened here? haha interesting place though, thanks for the ipload!
Hahaha! Too funny. You're very welcome.
You said "look at the floor" Tiki I can't see the floor LOL And in the corner we find grandma squashed under the fallen celing. It was a possibility. There wasn't a bathroom? Maybe at the front of the building. You did well to navigate all of that with a camera in hand. Thanks.
LOL, this is true about the floor. There was a bathroom in the basement at 12:46 timeline, and then in the other basement entrance, there appeared to be a bathroom stall at 15:15, but I couldn't get to it due to the stuff in the way.
Thanks. How did I miss that. Probably just from staring at all the junk. LOL
No problem! The bathroom was loaded with junk as well. You could only make out the top of the toilet. I couldn't even get in there, lol.
Amongst all that junk their is probably gold. :o) You could just about live in there and you wouldn't have to buy anything except a few repairs to the roof and windows. You've got a furnace and a woodstove utensils, cups and saucers.Even a fondu pot. Tons of rubbish to burn. its all there you just have to find it. LOL
Hi Tiki, I have read through the comments on some of your videos, and someone mentioned your name being Pam, I like that name, as for my name is Pam too. I like your narration alot. I like your attention to detail , your bravery, your calm demeanor , your true interest in history, slow panning with the camera, most of all the narration . I have become a fan. Thankyou for bringing us your videos
I never have the opportunity or the time to go exploring so I always look forward to exploring with you. Thanks
had to rewatch this one..i still love it!light that furnace up and get cleaning i says :)
Awesome! :)
Hello "Tiki Trex", I am from Venezuela (South America), I really like to watch your videos, I am passionate about the issue of abandoned and mysterious houses and . Is fascinating to know who lived there and how they lived... you are very brave to do these videos alone...... Thanks and regards
+Ana M Trompiz F Hello Ana. You're most welcome. Nice to "meet" someone from Venezuela here on my channel. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Cheers from Canada.
wow, I love old one room school houses, but Ive never seen anything like this one..geez..Good job, thank you for taking us along..Stay Safe..
Wow!! Pam, you hit the ultimate house of hoards here!! The stove and furnace were awesome. I was thinking it would be nice to see the house cleared out to be able to see the layout of it. It looked really unique. Bet there's a lot of treasures buried there!! You had me a little concerned with that fallen ceiling for a sec....lol.....very fun and interesting tour!! Thanks for sharing and Take Care!! :)
Also it's amazing how fast things decay. I would have been 2 years old when this house was abandoned, very young yet still alive. Most urban explorers as of 2016 were alive in 1995. Although I could see someone born up to maybe 1997-1998 being a good urban explorer. I saw something where a 17 year old (at the time) went into Dixie Square Mall and took lots of pictures and documented it really well.
February 13, 2016 12:55 am
so glad to see another video from you! I just absolutely love your channel!
Thank you!
Tiki, your absolutely amazing, to venture thru that mess, & still do good video. Looks like gone thru many changes, with the windows, Church, then school,. then to house..
Tiki, I think you have found a hoarder's paradise! Never seen a building laid out like that one. The big wood furnace is quite unique and unusual. Would like to see that place cleaned out so we could get a better perspective of what it once looked like. Thanks for the great tour. Looking forward to more.
This was fascinating! I like the way you take the time to sort of let us "snoop" a bit! I cannot imagine walking away and leaving so much STUFF! It seemed very dangerous on the main level in terms of the ceiling only being supported by some old pieces of furniture. I always speculate on who lived in these places and why they left their belongings! Great tour Tiki! Thanks
Looks to me at some point, after being a school possibly, it was used to hold donations (toys, blankets, clothing, misc. furniture, appliances, handicap toilet etc.). Many items still appear to be in bags & boxes. Maybe after it was abandoned it was ransacked a few times. It does look like it was used to stay in as well, but, doesn't look like it was used long term or as an actual residence, IMO.
Love all the time you spend showing us details! I can tell it takes quite a bit of effort, and we really appreciate it all!!!
Love watching the videos. Places like this make me sad. Obviously that building has great bones and could be useful again. Stay safe.
Tiki, I was kinda scared for you on this one, considering all that stuff, but you're a pro at this! It would have been nice to see the layout of that home but there was just so much clutter. Great video as usual!
Im binge watching your videos!!! Finals are finally over: ) All I want to do is catch up on your beautiful explorations!!!! Thanks for sharing these with us.
Awesome! Enjoy! :)
IAM very glad you didn't get hurt climbing on all of that stuff it look like a lot of antiques in there
Wow, what a mess! Makes me want to go clean my house! I always wanted to buy an old church and turn it into a home, but after seeing this mess I may change my mind! To bad it is in such bad shape. Thanks for the look around, be safe and enjoy!
This wasn't really shaky at all, so no worries there. Amazing amount of junk, littered almost in every inch. I would of been inspecting it all, but I enjoy the way you do it and your pleasant commentary. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures exploring abandoned properties
If it used to be a church, perhaps they ran a charity shop or people handed items in to be given to those on a very low income, such as the toys, lots of those.
S. S. No. 16. ie. School Section No. 16.
What an interesting old place! It's really a shame it's been so horribly junked up. I love that old furnace in the basement. And the old stove. Such neat finds!
You should have looked in those old purses, sometimes they contain a treasure of information about the people who lived there. I found an old purse in the house where I grew up and my parents had been dead for over 30 years. Inside the old purse was my report cards from all twelve years while I was in school. One thing I found but didn't remember was I missed a month of school in the 6th grade due to illness or some sort.
Interesting.
Thanks for posting 😃 I don't know how you kept the camera sooooo steady ,but you did a great job !!! Some people can't keep a camera that steady on a clean flat surface!!! Can't wait for the next one. Thanks again . Frank 😄
You did an awesome job with this video keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the other videos you have in store for us to see with your finds. Just could never imagine accumulating that much stuff. That would be a show for hoarders in it self. Cassie
***** at 7:16 that's the old "Barbie cut and style"! they were really popular when I was about 12ish. I remember them so well, they came with make-up etc...so crazy to see one is such great shape!
Oh, cool. I've never seen them before.
***** yes they were all the rage in my pre-teen years...so cool to see one frozen in time like that. great explore :)
penniesfromheavon I bet! Thanks :)
Wow! So much clutter for one house! That stove in there I think my aunt has one laying in their yard. Thanks for another great vid!
Beautiful old place. Cleaned up and fixed up would make a great place to live. Loved the built ins upstairs.😀
This is one of the best walk troughs I've seen so far; you boldly go where few would dare to go...if you fell down in this place; you would not hit the floor because of all the junk...it's like a time capsule in there...scary moment when you panned the camera over to the jewelry box with the "blue eyed girl" that caught me by surprise,,,great tour tiki.
+David Rodriguez This was a fun one indeed. I enjoy places like this that have so much to see. And yes, at least there was lots of padding on the floor, lol.
Great tour, wow a lot of stuff in this house!!! I also like the two cars outside.
That building has a lot of hidden history. It is interesting to see your videos, THANKS!!
Those large pieces of furniture under the ceiling were old, no doubt antiques! Look at that buffet and wardrobe... Beautiful! I suppose when this old school was demolished no one bothered to save them, that is so sad to me. The whole place is sad, a place where many children learned and played reduced to this. Great explore though, many things to see!
Great find. Surprised you walked thru all that stuff. Loved the wood stove and the wood furnace. Lived in a place in Upstate NY that had one of those furnaces in the basement. Never had to split wood for those things. Great video and your very steady with the video camera.
Wow, what a dump. Don't worry your camera work on top of junk is better than most walking on flat ground. You don't throw caution to the wind, seems like I remember you walking up some steps to the floor that was mostly missing, lol, just teasing, I don't blame you a bit. Have to trust your instincts and be safe so you can take us on many more adventures. Thanks, as always great video. I think that was the house of misfit toys, oh boy Christmas is soon!
My mother had one of those Kenmore apartment washers when I was a kid. It hooked up to the kitchen sink for water and drainage. It had two compartments, the first one was large and you washed the clothes in it and the second one was smaller you rinsed and spinned the clothes out in it. They washed fairly decent, but you couldn't do very large loads at a time.
I did see a cross on the stairwell going down stairs too! It was laying on the left side. Had a furnace like that in a house I once owned. I was told it was a gravity fed one. Never knew quite what that meant. Changed it out to regular. Wish I would have saved it and sold it outright. Gave it away. Looks so cool.
Always break my heart to see historic places rot like this...
What a beautiful place to live that would be and great vid as usual.
Also, didn't know if you know what S.S. stands for but it is School Section. A lot of schools in the late 19th century and early 20th used numbers instead of names :) Just in case you didn't know.
Yes, I did, thanks. :) I have it up in the description under "See more". I brought it up higher so you may not have to press that now.
I love the pun you said in text about not throwing caution to the wind on a windy day, it fit well with the video anyway.
Oh yeah! I never thought of that!
OK watched again, not to be boring on the furnace but I noticed when you show the doors if you look in lower right of frame you will see a cast iron protrusion with a lid. This is the humidifier, you would keep water in it (easier said than done) and it would heat (steam) and add moisture to air for house.........
I don't find it boring at all. I appreciate the information you have to offer as I have no idea how that furnace works. Very interesting to know. Thanks, Russ.
Kool detail! Forced-air furnances just tend to dry out the air and give you crackly skin. It's already bad enough in winter with the low humidity so that would be a cool feature. :)
Merry Christmas TikiTrex.I hope you have a most excellent Christmas and I hope that the Joy of the season fill's you for the whole year.I hope God Blesses you and all your family and friends and keep's you all safe and well.I wish you the very best of this Special Birthday.Merry Christmas and God Bless.Kev.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family, Kevin! I hope you have a great and safe holiday season!
Hello, Pam. This was a terrific video. The place doesn't look too bad on the outside (except for the lack of windows and some weathering. The inside is a different story. The consensus here is that the last tenant was a hoarder, but it's possible they were squatters. Some people turn these old buildings into private garbage dumps; you've shown us that on some other videos. This could be considered a historic structure; some ambitious person could save it yet.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tour! What a place!
Wow! What a beautiful structure! If I had money I'd would buy it and restore it. It's got good bones.
Looks like somebody was using the upstairs as a studio type apartment.
OH-EM-GEE! Thanks for focussing on books and magazines. This place literally had "everything. However the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is not going to be affixed to the property any time soon. The vehicles followed the decorative theme. How Quaint. Thanks, brave Tiki-Pam.
At 5:36 A Danish cherry liqueur that follows a hundred year old family recipe and is made entirely from Danish cherries. funny that there is such one there....greeting from Denmark ... ps love you'r video's
looks like someone used that place for storage, and then later someone else came along and trashed it.
my thoughts exactly.
I'm kinda thinking they were living there. The living room furniture and stove upstairs kind of makes me think they had a loft thing going on.
I agree with ShowerDancer. I think someone lived there, but then turned it into storage? It's so creepy that someone just up and left all their possessions. Those antiques are so pretty.
Was watching this on my laptop in full screen and saw a spider crawling across. I thought it was on your lens. RIGHT! (shiver, shiver)
Glad it was on your end (I hope!)!
The Kenmore washing machine is cool - they were very popular here in the UK in the 70s and 80s and often made by Hotpoint and Hoover. They had a top loading washer like US machines and a spin dryer that took most of the water out the clothes ready for hanging :)
I love this video! Well, I do love all your videos. Great work yet again!
Looked like the school house was used for living the way some of the furniture & other things were set up. Would be very interesting to pick through the junk to see what there is. Some of the stuff look so old. Thanks Tiki
Oh my goodness, You are way more sure footed than me & brave ! AWESOME job, how interesting maybe abandoned for some 30 yrs ? LOVE you videos.. Thank you for sharing & braving for us !
Thanks, Gina. Always my pleasure.
Great job!! Excellent find. I would have been in there all day. As others have posted, no need to say sorry for camera work! The furnace in this one is a "gravity" type as I have mentioned in other posts. No forced air/fan, the heated air just went up the big center pipe (if you could have seen the floor you would have found a huge register directly over it.) The large pipes coming back are cold air returns and it all just worked on hot air rising/cold air falling.
They probably used wood cook stove to help heat also.
Just a historical note on these: the heated air was always close to the center of building and cold air registers around perimeter. Now this is completely reversed.
Oh, and of course the institutional "puke" green paint !!!!! LOL
Russ Bennett Yes! lol
Amazing find. I see a few collectibles and some amazing wood.
That place is definitely a "pickers paradise"
one can imagine the teacher telling a couple kids to go chop some wood and stoke up the furnace!
thanks TikiTrex another great vid! hopefully we all won't have such a harsh winter, but snow is forecast for Halloween.
WOW!! What a great find! Makes you really wonder the story behind all of it!
Hi Pam, and as always a great job with the video, it had to be very difficult to walk over all the stuffed animals and plastic bottles covering the floors in this place. I loved seeing the old "Cone Top" furnace. I was a little concerned if the floors were still safe for you to be walking on. Please never take any chances with your safety. We do not need to see any old bldg that is not safe for you to explore. thanks so much Pam and take care.
Another wonderful video. I look forward to and enjoy every one. Thanks so much for your efforts!
Many thanks! It means a lot to hear that.
That's a really cool old coal furnace, great video.
20:17 that sound what was it like ghostly sound ?. sent cools thru me. lol nice video Tiki . Sad that people left it like that.
it be easy give people who need homes to give these building to them. by the way '''welcome back missed ya......from virginia
What a building with an interesting story! Upstairs near the antique furniture/table I noticed what looked like maybe a fridge further back. Like they were using the dressers/chests as kitchen cabinets? Two bathroom stalls because one for boys/girls back when it was a school house?
So much beautiful furniture! Amazing how people can just walk away from things. Some of it looks to be in pretty good shape.
How cool would that be to convert an old school or church into a home!
This is single again did German boy you the best the details in everything you do and you're not scared to show everything funtastic thank you
What a great video, makes you wonder though how they just up and left everything there including the car out front. Weird!!
I bet that car was running when they left it also lol.
Running condition i mean LMFAO!!
Hi Pam, another great video as usual. We don't mind the shakiness of the camera, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't see these great places, so long as your careful and safe, that's all that counts :-)
***** Thank you. :)
wow, this place would definitely have to be at the top of your list for the most junk/hoarding. it's a wonder you didn't twist an ankle walking through there.
My late uncle in-law and we had Dodge Aries wagons at different times. :)
4:00 You know a lot about girls' toys even though you had boys ^_^ Or was it both?
4:19 That mayonaise looks disgustingly deadly LOL
Man, they just trashed that place. I like the woodwork so far anyway though ^_^
6:15 For a moment I thought the Sears catalog was a Barbie Doll in a package haha.
It seems to me whoever put the ceiling in did a poor job of it. It shouldn't have fallen down without a bad leak.
8:30 Don't worry about the noise. Your voice makes it all worth it ;)
Ya know, I can almost imagine you nimbly climbing over all that stuff but I recommend investing in a machete and hacking a path as you go rofl. OR a chainsaw for extra-heavy 'underbrush.'
10:40 I wouldn't be comfortable changing a lightbulb under that shoddy ceiling -_- It is strangely surreal under that collaps; It's almost like a separate little room.
11:50 Shave those flowers, hippie blender! Heehee
13:35 I reckon the "Coldspot" brand was phased out because it's so unimaginative. In fact it reminds me of those paranormal shows where they claim to walk into cold areas and their EMF meters go off the charts lolz. Wikipedia says it was replaced with Kenmore, which most of us know. :D More like "canned bads" at this point.
15:00 That jar of nails would be handy to have.
15:20 The layout probably wouldn't be so bad without all the garbage strewn about.
15:45 I can tell from here that overcoat would be way too small for me roflol
16:20 That thing must be ancient. Probably older than my aunt's steam boiler.
With the bedpan you pointed out, the commode and the old coats and pajamas it's apparent an old, possibly disabled man lived in that room last.
17:05 A gas meter could have been housed in that but none of the stoves appeared to use gas.
19:30 I have a Sunbeam A/C so they're very much in business :P
As always, a fascinating and wonderful explore, Pam! This is one of the more mysterious ones. It really has a lot of odds and ends but the rooms have certain distictions giving clues as to what sort of people lived in them. Thanks for taking us along !
Wow, always look forward to your breakdown analysis of these places, Lewis! Love the machete and chainsaw idea! LOL! I wish every place I came across was like this one, with more ease of trekking, though. As far as the girls' toys go, I actually found out about them from the "Abandoned Nut House" (lol) I explored. There was a glow worm doll outside of that one as well. I didn't really know what it was, but my viewers corrected me. So I guess we learn something new every day. Thanks as always for your humorous and insightful comments! :)
You're welcome! ^_^
why do so many houses have stuff all over the floor. someone literally had to spread that stuff out. who ever lived there must have been a serious hoarder.
hi Pam, enjoyed this video, what a bunch of stuff! This is John Jon. I had to create a new channel, had problems with the other one. I would be overwhelmed seeing that much stuff like that. But there were a lot of old things in there. That washer/drier you found was a portable thing that you hooked up to the kitchen sink. My sister-in-law had one in 1967. It reminds of a time I had forgotten. Thank you.
Very sorry to hear this old building was torn down
All I can think of are the spiders. And please don't apologize for the shaking camera. I'm just thankful you don't get hurt. ANd I find myself carrying a conversation with you. LOL!!! THen I think, she can't hear me, but I still do it. LOL!!!
Thanks for doing the explorations for us. ;)
what an interesting building, seems in good shape structurally - given how long ago it seems to have been abandoned
As always excellent work, thank you very much.
