When I see something like this I can't help but wonder how heartbroken the person who built it would be if they saw what happened over time to their pride and joy.
@@richardcline1337 I agree, he was an idiot. That family has caused an enormous amount of damage to so many parts of society and our world. The family are nothing more than parasites
This has got be one of my most favorite video of yours!!! (Even though I like all your videos). After seeing the way it was, when you showed now, the emotional sadness to see this is all that’s left was almost overwhelming. I love the cool stone work, the walks, railing in the pond and the steps. Very cool!! I don’t it should have been bulldozed....such a grandiose and majestic place it must have been!!
I'm from New Jersey and never knew this place existed. Just from the old picture you posted this place was beautiful at its time. I don't understand why the park didn't maintain it and make it a museum . I could imagine all the tourists that would come to see its beauty. So sad that they bulldozed the top section. Thank you for showing me a historical place in my home state.
The neat part of this house is being able to see enough to appreciate the construction skills of the time. At the time of 1911, the date of build, my grandmother was six. There were no computers. Everything was brought into such sites. Often manufactured on site for custom fit. What you showed underneath was indeed complicated remains for only those who know to decifer. I love this stuff. This has an impressive foundation! It's probably still there because it was too hard to knock down. What beautiful bones for a house. Vikingsholm in Lake Tahoe is similiar in some ways. Fortunately not destroyed except a bit of mother nature. It was given to the state and now run as a state park with tours including the tea house on a tiny island in Lake Tahoe near the house. The home is Scandinavian in style.
There is a park near me with a house that was donated to the park. It’s open and maintained. It doesn’t take away from the beauty of the park. Too bad this wasn’t done with this mansion and grounds. It was too beautiful to let go.
Cannot imagine what that place must have been like to live in when it was a home, so lovely, thank you for sharing something that some of us wont ever experience, but through these great videos at least we can.
I think I forgot to breathe watching this video. So absolutely breathtakingly Gorgeous! I have always been fascinated with mansions, castles, beautiful terrace gardens, & that view, just beyond words. Thanks for taking me along Jay, just LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!! :)
I can only imagine what this was like in it's prime. What a shame that the back side of the manor was bulldozed 😪💔 but the remainder of the house is quite beautiful still...even it's present state. Breathtaking view of the river and NY beyond that 😍 I held my breath when y'all were on the edge of that steep drop off 😮😯 What an absolutely 💯 amazing exploration 🥰👍👍😁😁 The walkways and trails are also very pretty 😍 A great spot to go to in the spring or early summer...what a place for a picnic 😀😊❤ Thanks again for taking us on your treks. Looking forward to the next one 😀 keep on keeping on and be safe 🙏
I love that you take the time to create all of those shots, having to set your camera up multiple times for a single instance. Love the care and time put into these videos, they rock JP!
Your videos lately have been so impressive JP! Very professional and excellent camera work. You’ve done yourself proud. I loved this video it was fantastic!👍👍👏👏👏👏🤗
Great video! I feel like I am hanging out with you up there. The new camera is awesome. You work hard to bring us these videos. It is much appreciated!
So nice to have the old photos to orient yourself in the landscape. This was a great explore and I enjoyed it very much. Especially the stone stairs and walkways. Thanks!
Imagine what it would cost to keep that place up back in the day life to the groundskeepers got paid really well that place would take a lot of work to keep it clean
Thank you for bringing history back with the old pictures of what the manor used to look like! The views are amazing! I see a road trip, maybe in the spring, and maybe there will be some flowers still around. Continue to do things like this! I wonder if where you went down that hole might have been a summer kitchen
Kind of suprised those ruines are left that way and still open to the public. Seems like it's gotten to a pretty dangerous state of collapse, especially the gaping holes in the ground! Glad you got to capture it as it is and that everyone was safe. Gorgeous grounds and the intriguing remains of a beautiful estate. Fantstic find and an excellent video, JP. Well done! 💚
This is really sad that such a beautiful place was let go or tore down looks like just the foundation left. He made a huge mistake letting go to Palisades.
OH. MY. GOODNESS. AMAZING footage. Seeing the ruins I was very impressed but when you showed us how it used to look OMG. I could have cried. Why oh why was it not maintained and loved. It was truly magnificent. Add in the stunning view, breathtaking. The garden as it was originally, quite breathtaking. Would I live there. If I could have afforded to, yes I would have and loved it. Dear Jay, a brilliant capture. My new favourite. 🌷❤❤🌷👌👌👌
Beautifully put together video Jason. The history and the home amazing! What's left is sadly awesome and the views beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Love the music you put with the photos. ❤️❤️
I liked the gimbal shots. Very smooth. And this was a great vid. I'm with the comment before, what a shame that it was bulldozed. My friend has a home like that in Manchester Mass (family home) that is still intact, built about the same time. It is beautiful still. Thanks for all your work. Your videos are why I have looked at these abandoned places. I fell in love with abandon ruins in Europe. So much history. The interior shots were awesome of this home.
Great video of an amazing place. Sad that it wasn't better cared for before it became in the condition it is now. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Amazing site! I can only imagine living there & sitting out on the 'porch' watching the river while enjoying nature. Thank you for letting us tag along on your adventures.
I enjoyed the explore very much and love the new camera features .. ( loved the old "before "photos ..) . I really don't understand why the mansion had to be destroyed. They could have just halted any further development in the area ..Not very nice to purchase the place and then stipulate it be torn down . The mansion and grounds would have been a wonderful guided tour experience for the public if nothing else. . . oh, well .. just my two cents. Great of Kathy to let you know about this awesome place and thank you for sharing it with us. ...gorgeous photos , Jay .
Wow I have been busy just now getting my jp videos fix !! Wow this place is AWESOME !! What a pretty view ! Thats a ways DOWN ! So sad to see those steps lost in the leaves and dirt ! I love those before picture's thank you for that. Thank you for coming here and documenting this so sad to see it all lost to time . Behind those small shrubs is a concrete railing from that pond picture ! WOW That is the mother of all views of New Jersey those cliff walls are so one of a kind ! There are not enough thumbs up and yesss loved the new aspects of the video nice custom touches ! Loved the photo montage !! Great work as always !!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was another terrific explore once again JP! Really enjoy how you do this, with video, and pictures of the past, and the history all put together. You make it flow just perfectly! Such talent. So thankful I "stumbled" onto you and your wonderful work!
Amazing explore Jay! I as always thank you for taking me to a place I will likely never see. I love the way you give us some history on what you are exploring. As far as the gimbal (I doubt I spelled that right) goes, I love it! A very smooth video. I have an extreme fear of heights as I know you do. Wow, you have really worked to overcome your fears. I could have never been on the edge of those cliffs like you were! Many thanks!
This place is absolutely wonderful I would live here given the chance too and the money to as well super expensive just for the views alone,great video enjoyed to the very end,cannot wait to see what’s next.Thanks for showing it to us.
Really great video!! I just love coming along to explore!! Phenomenal view of the Hudson and across to New York!! The new camera elements are really cool, very excellent. Love the pictures at the end!!
Glad you went in winter with the leaves down and dead/dormant undergrowth allows for an even more spectacular view.Rockefeller likely purchased this property for pennies on the dollar since the Great Depression was well underway.Am amazed how little time the home stood.If that property today were private with it's proximity to NYC and spectacular views would as is now be worth a good deal of money.🎩💰💵Obviously a lot of dough in the flour business.🍞🥐🥖🥯
This would be a great place to make into a public camp grounds. the county could make money if they cleaned it up and make places for tents. Nice place to see, Thank you
This was over the top amazing. I kept telling you to ""be careful", "Don't fall" and some other expletives to not do anything dangerous! LOL! When I watched this, I felt like I was on vacation ☺ The views were amazing. The original pictures were a great way to connect past and present. Chances are I will never get to visit these wonderful places so --- THANK YOU FOR SHARING! And please keep on exploring. And Travel Channel should pick up your explorations!
WOW! Another great video! This seems like a really cool place to explore . If only the remaining walls could talk I'd be all ears listening to how things were back then. The only place I have ever been that reminds me of where your at is a place in New York called Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay New York. I love looking at old structures and thinking about how things were in the yesteryears gone by.
It looks like he built to blend in with mother nature. The house was the same color as the boulders of the cliff. If the land is 25 acres there would not have been any building close by. It still could have been a park with the building for historical purposes. I don't understand all the holes and why they are not blocked to keep from falling in. When you first came down the terrace a slab of stone was on top of the wall. Was that limestone? When you went to the cliff I got nauseas. I can't do heights. Even in a video. Thanks for the tour. Be safe.
Great video JP!!! I loved the different shots. I don't mind the bumps when your walking though. It makes me feel like I'm walking with you. That must have been amazing in it's day. Having the history and the photos was educational. I found myself going back to look at the pictures in comparison to what you were shooting. Great addition. Please go back in the summer. I'm sure that there are a lot of perennials still there. As you pointed out, you could see some of them. Your videos just keep getting better and better! Just an idea, maybe you could make this one of your group events. I'd love to explore there!!!
I love the introduction you did. The slow mo and music was very very cool. And as per your norm....awesome video. The history of the mansion and grounds you provided was fascinating. To think this was a summer home for the original builder....I don't think I would have ever wanted to leave the home!
Awesome explore of such an intriguing place!! I’m fascinated with this house and grounds and the way it was built. It amazes me how they built homes without all of our modern machinery. Imagine the work that went into clearing the land to build it. Your camera did a great job of capturing the beauty of it all, but especially the Hudson River. You scared the crap out of me when you were standing on what looked like the edge of the cliffs! Seems like just looking down from that height would make you dizzy and lose your balance. Which is why I’ve always hated heights. Lol. Your photo montage at the end was beautiful and your choice of music was perfect! You should make a return trip in the spring or summer to see what flowers are still coming up. I bet there’s a lot! Thanks so much for taking me along on your explore! You’re the best!! 👍🏼💙😊🌺🌏💫
Jay, this has to be one of your coolest vids yet. The intro was so well done, and your editing was killer. I loved all the details you pointed out and showed us. Thanks for taking us along on such a fascinating place in a very dramatic setting! And Cliff cracks me up - he's afraid of clowns but will climb down into the creepiest, nastiest, tightest little gopher holes he can find without giving it a second thought lol!! Give me clowns any day! Stunning, stunning work! I would love to see what flowers might come up in the spring/summer, and I bet this setting is gorgeous in the fall. Would love to see you go back again.
That's so sad of that beautiful building to destroy it.. Whats wrong with people. The beautiful stone work, and winding steps going no ware. I surprised if someone would come in and rebuid, the foundatation is there. So many holes they should be capped or put rock into them. What a shame to destrory such a beautiful landscape. Can't they build sound berries along the freeways, we have that here in Minnesota. This was a super great find so beautiful and yet so sad, but that is the way it goes. Someone can still build on the property, those rocks will last for another 150 years. Thank you so much JP.
I just started watching you about a week ago I'm hooked. I click play the minute I see your name. I love history and seeing what used to be, you satisfy that part of my curiosity with every video thank you.
@@JPVideos81 no thank you and your new cameras are just as good as your old. You know how to incorporate what's needed at the right time in your footage so just keep up the awesome work 💙
That was a great video! I’m from Pennsylvania but my daughter lives a few minutes from there. We ride on that highway you see in the video but never been down near that house! I’m going to have to make it a point to visit there when I go to my daughters! Really enjoyed the video!
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the old remains and trying to piece together what it would have looked like in the day! Glad you had the old photos! I'm wondering if they would have had staff living in the lower level...or a root cellar? Seems the staff wouldn't have lived in the upper chambers like in some manors. You mentioned going back in the summer. I would think early spring to see any bulb flowers starting to peek through. I've gone exploring and dug up the old 'scrambled eggs' type daffodils, different iris, spider lilies! to replanted at my house. Tough as old nails, them bulbs! Anyway, enjoyed it very much!
pretty amazing and incredible place did you see how thick those walls were? must of been fun to keep warm on those winter days and nights sad that the place was left to deteriorate thanks for taking me along
I enjoyed the video J P. I am terrified of heights, every time you go near the edge my stomach turns over. Love the history of the manor, such a shame they pulled it down. The views are stunning, and your photography brilliant.
@@JPVideos81 That would be a cool find. If there are tunnels, they might be somewhat collapsed and be difficult to find. I have not read too much history on the property, but then again, secret tunnels may not be included on the information to the public. Again, great video.
It's been interesting to watch and see. I just never understood the building of something so huge and massive. Too often, mansions are too much of a cost in upkeep and too often, they are left to rot. I would rather they left it standing instead of what they have now there.
That was really cool man. What a beautiful place it was back in its day. Hell, it's still beautiful now. Such a shame this one got forgotten to history. I enjoyed the whole tour, but I especially liked that part we were able to get down into that old basement. Not sure why but it was just something really neat about being able to get down into the existing structure
I think it's terrible that they tore down and destroyed the mansion. They could have kept it and opened it as a museum. Horticulturists could have taken over the garden and used it as a teaching tool. There could have been so many different and diverse uses for it rather than destroying it. Very interesting explore, especially the holes in the ground that were actual parts of the house.
Great video. I watch because I though it was on the Ohio, but was not at all disappointed. I like your work. Please keep it up. I like your vids in the Smokies, around SMNP especially. It is a very special place for the wife and myself. Thank you and God bless.
Great video as always Jay!!! I love it with the new equipment!!! The views from there are absolutely gorgeous but it's to close to traffic for me to live there!!! Nice vacation spot though!!! Keep up the great work!!!
When I see something like this I can't help but wonder how heartbroken the person who built it would be if they saw what happened over time to their pride and joy.
Rockefeller had to be one massive idiot to do what he did! That was a beautiful place.
@@richardcline1337 I agree, he was an idiot. That family has caused an enormous amount of damage to so many parts of society and our world. The family are nothing more than parasites
If given the chance, would you want to live here?
Yes I would. Fix it up really nice, plant some flowers all around, make it look like it was never abandoned.
Would be nice
Yes I would
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
Absolutely!!

It was a wonderful trip thank you for taking me along.
This place looks very cool...like some place out of a fantasy! It must have looked gorgeous in its day with the beautiful grounds all around!
Yes, and back then the Hudson River wasn't polluted by GE so one could swim, fish and keep the largemouth and striped bass.
I think I forgot to breathe watching this video. So absolutely breathtakingly Gorgeous! I have always been fascinated with mansions, castles, beautiful terrace gardens, & that view, just beyond words. Thanks for taking me along Jay, just LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!! :)

Thanks so much tamara
I love that you can superimpose how it was with how it is now.
Awesome find. The historic value of this is amazing. Hate dumb people messing things up
Great video! I feel like I am hanging out with you up there.
The new camera is awesome. You work hard to bring us these videos.
It is much appreciated!

Very nice video JP, that was incredible to see all the structures.

I love seeing stuff like this. I like How you used the different functions with new equipment you use.
Thanks. Its nice to have different options when filming.

This is really sad that such a beautiful place was let go or tore down looks like just the foundation left. He made a huge mistake letting go to Palisades.
With his mega-millions Rockefeller could have cared less. Just a total idiot!
What a beautiful place
This was quite the beautiful place...even the ruins are huge and awesome. Too bad the gardens werent still kept up. Awesome footage.
OH. MY. GOODNESS. AMAZING footage. Seeing the ruins I was very impressed but when you showed us how it used to look OMG. I could have cried. Why oh why was it not maintained and loved.

Would love to see you go back again.
You should join me next time 😊
@@JPVideos81 Sure wish I could. This would be a magical place to visit!
That's so sad of that beautiful building to destroy it.. Whats wrong with people. The beautiful stone work, and winding steps going no ware. I surprised if someone would come in and rebuid, the foundatation is there. So many holes they should be capped or put rock into them. What a shame to destrory such a beautiful landscape. Can't they build sound berries along the freeways, we have that here in Minnesota. This was a super great find so beautiful and yet so sad, but that is the way it goes. Someone can still build on the property, those rocks will last for another 150 years. Thank you so much JP.
The gimbal seems to be a good investment. I can see the improvement in your videos and still shots. God bless and keep you safe.
I love this stuff, really like the comparison shots " you are standing here" great vid
Central California watching
That still looks beautiful I no that was so beautiful place backin the day
Breaks my heart to see beautiful places like this go to ruin. Nice explore.
I'm only 4hrs from Connecticut.
I just started watching you about a week ago I'm hooked. I click play the minute I see your name. I love history and seeing what used to be, you satisfy that part of my curiosity with every video thank you.
Thanks so much
@@JPVideos81 no thank you and your new cameras are just as good as your old. You know how to incorporate what's needed at the right time in your footage so just keep up the awesome work 💙

JP great video. That place is amazing. It must have been magnificent in its hay day. It's too bad back in the day they didnt preserve.
Wow you put alot of time into this THANK YOU! Great job love all your videos.
Thanks for checking it out
Like how it looks, but I got butterflies in my stomach every time you got near a cliff.
That was a great video! I’m from Pennsylvania but my daughter lives a few minutes from there. We ride on that highway you see in the video but never been down near that house! I’m going to have to make it a point to visit there when I go to my daughters!
Really enjoyed the video!
That place is amazing! You did a great job on the presentation! Enjoyed it👍🏻
Ty
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the old remains and trying to piece together what it would have looked like in the day! Glad you had the old photos!
I'm wondering if they would have had staff living in the lower level...or a root cellar? Seems the staff wouldn't have lived in the upper chambers like in some manors.
You mentioned going back in the summer. I would think early spring to see any bulb flowers starting to peek through.
I've gone exploring and dug up the old 'scrambled eggs' type daffodils, different iris, spider lilies! to replanted at my house. Tough as old nails, them bulbs!
Anyway, enjoyed it very much!
😊💙
pretty amazing and incredible place did you see how thick those walls were? must of been fun to keep warm on those winter days and nights sad that the place was left to deteriorate thanks for taking me along
Built to last
I enjoyed the video J P. I am terrified of heights, every time you go near the edge my stomach turns over. Love the history of the manor, such a shame they pulled it down. The views are stunning, and your photography brilliant.
Ty
I would speculate there are tunnels from the manor to the garden. Love this! Great video.
Id love to find them if there was.
@@JPVideos81 That would be a cool find. If there are tunnels, they might be somewhat collapsed and be difficult to find. I have not read too much history on the property, but then again, secret tunnels may not be included on the information to the public. Again, great video.
It's been interesting to watch and see. I just never understood the building of something so huge and massive. Too often, mansions are too much of a cost in upkeep and too often, they are left to rot. I would rather they left it standing instead of what they have now there.
That was really cool man. What a beautiful place it was back in its day. Hell, it's still beautiful now. Such a shame this one got forgotten to history.
I enjoyed the whole tour, but I especially liked that part we were able to get down into that old basement. Not sure why but it was just something really neat about being able to get down into the existing structure
Im planning on doing a meetup here in the summer. Worth checking out in person.
I think it's terrible that they tore down and destroyed the mansion. They could have kept it and opened it as a museum. Horticulturists could have taken over the garden and used it as a teaching tool. There could have been so many different and diverse uses for it rather than destroying it. Very interesting explore, especially the holes in the ground that were actual parts of the house.
Great video. I watch because I though it was on the Ohio, but was not at all disappointed. I like your work. Please keep it up. I like your vids in the Smokies, around SMNP especially. It is a very special place for the wife and myself. Thank you and God bless.
Ty
Great that at least that much is still left
Nice CHEM trails. !! (At the beginning) I hate that the Rockefeller’s gets their grubby hands on things and destroys so much.!!!
WW must be part Bigfoot and part groundhog 😄. Loved this video! Fascinating place!
This was a great video. I really enjoyed the different camera shots with your new equipment. Keep on exploring 😊
Enjoy the video, your new camera is doing good thank you Kathy
Well Done, A Beautiful Place..
Beautiful❗
Great video as always Jay!!! I love it with the new equipment!!! The views from there are absolutely gorgeous but it's to close to traffic for me to live there!!! Nice vacation spot though!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks gini
@@JPVideos81 you are most welcome 😊
