- Built around 1889, sadly the whole block is set too be torn down for a new apartment complex. Trying to find out more history currently on the house before it’s torn down! Thank you very much for watching hope you enjoy!

Whoever trashed this house had absolutely no respect or regard for the unique quality and hard work put into building a house like this. Victorian houses were built with great care and attention to detail. Quality materials and craftsmanship. They are literally works of art. Not this new build bs. With the exception of preservation, when a society can do this to something this beautiful, it's cause for concern. Thank you for acknowledging what is sadly becoming the dinosaurs of architecture.
Agreed! The house sits in a pretty rough area sadly tho! I’d live in the house in a heartbeat if it has some acres out in the country!
Absolutely- well said
The people who Trashed it were Evicted...the Bank Repo'ed the House and left it to Rot! And left someone standing alone...in a World so Cold! Houses can be Replaced...they are Everywhere. People's Souls...that's something else?
America, I think it's a real shame that you don't take care of your old beautiful historic houses! Greetings from Sweden. 💜
HI. My grandfather and his family immigrated to the US in 1880 from Sweden, last name CARLSON. Yes alot of our beautiful old homes are lost to decay, but there are literally thousands of them in excellent condition. And very much loved!!
@@johnfranklin5277 A lot of people from Sweden moved to the United States during the same time as your relatives, due to poor livingconditions in Sweden. Carlson, or more commonly spelled Karlsson in swedish, is a very common surname here! 👍🇸🇪
i wish people would quit slamming americans, it has nothing to do with most of us that these buildings get torn down ,you yourself said sweden people moved here so.... jeez ..
Our people are shameful. If I had money I would buy entire neighborhoods.
@@marishkaambrus8381 ..no, this is a trait of most Americans.
Kappy, I love that you have NO big intro of music or anything. I love just plain old walking through looking at stuff. I'm so glad you have your Chicka with you. Have fun and stay safe!!! Please don't ever quit doing what you do!
Me to real nice normal refreshing!!!
I appreciate that! Always try and let the land and houses speak for themselves tho I know sometimes I get carried away and talk a bit too much! Thanks for watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 For what it’s worth, I don’t mind talking in videos. It always helps when you give background of the house or add your own commentary as you explore. But I understand others might just like the silent exploration.
he is one of the best. other channels do huge blown out intros spending like 5 minutes plugging their social media then do an "exploration" where a place is "haunted", channels like that suck. this is the good stuff.
Well I appreciate having no music. This is much more calming and simple. I find some of the music in other videos can be so distracting.
Imagine the skill it took to build this gem, no power tools, just talent. Yay, another apartment complex.
How can some people be so heartless, inconsiderate and disrespectful that they have to destroy something as beautiful and unique as that place is, or was
That house was beautiful and not really in bad shape. Definitely needed cleaning and repairs but the floors were good, and the roof seemed ok. I cannot wait to see the other houses!
Yeah it could definitely be saved still.
Agree....mostly just needs windows and doors reinstalled/replaced!
The fire escape indicates not only apartments but probably legal ones meeting health and safety codes. Slumlords would merely install a few doors and a hot plate and rent to people who could not afford better and safer. Too many of these grand houses allowed to be destroyed when cities like this and Dayton could have implemented programs to save them. Noticed the ugly apartment building in the background of early outside pic- yuck! Block apartment buildings - Hideous architecture…..this house had class and a Fabulous third story apartment. Thank you for this tour! Tho it is sad to see bits torn out at least they are probably still in use somewhere- surviving the wrecking ball
My dad lived in one of these huge Queen Anne house in Wisconsin. It was made into apartments, but care was made to keep all the woodwork and craftsmen-ship was preserved. The banister in that house was surely elegant ! My brother and I played in the ballroom in the attic!
Lucky you.
@@KAL829 it was really cool!
That poor old Queen Anne house left to rot. In the opening shots the fire escape indicated to me apartments. Like you said, the woodwork in the floors and ceiling are amazing. The servants staircase was elaborate for such so like you I imagine the main staircase was amazing. I suspect that more than just the newel posts, balusters, and mantels were stripped. Another excellent explore. Now I am looking forward to the teasers at the end of the video and your nature shots were breathtaking. A big thank you for ending the week on a fun note.
I HATE when they divide these Queens up...
I second your emotion.
Cincinnati firemen take safety very seriously. They always required those escape stairs for these houses turned into apartments.
Agreed! Could just imagine how beautiful that place would’ve been before scrappers and vandals got in! Thank you for watching! :)
A lot of these grand old huge houses , are often broken up into 2-3 apartments. What a sad ending to a once beautiful home. Thank you for the explore.
I live in New Hampshire, have lived in a number of homes like this, very common, at least up here. Makes me think of a lot of college towns, this was the norm. Old houses a couple of hundred years old, split up for apartments. Makes sense as far as heating and maintenance. 3 or 4 incomes to offset the modern costs.
I would love to live in an apartment in an old Victorian home as long as it was kept true to the Era.
Well I need a bathroom lol
You really are the best abandoned-house videographer on YT, and heaven knows I've seen dozens of them. You have a natural instinct for framing, pace, and camera movement. Well done, love the channel!
Too kind of you too say! Thank you for watching!! :)
What a gorgeous old home. I hate the losers that spend their life destroying other peoples homes, actually destroying anything that does not belong to them. It looked like someone was actively trying to save it. The homes at the end were awesome too. Thanks Kappy.
Neighborhoods go through cycles. Once grand and elegant eventually become run down and outdated. Old architecture, although stunning and higher quality than what is built today, is expensive to maintain and doing so is a labor of love. When the surrounding area, although all once beautiful, becomes low-rent, the downward decline is difficult to stave off.
That first house that you were in was fixable. What you thought was fire damage on the first floor wood ceiling, actually white mold. Thank you Kappy for another most excellent video!
Thank you for clarifying that!! :) much appreciated for watching and the kind words!
I absolutely love that decorative ceiling. You don't see that anymore.
I just LOVE your love for old things. I share your passion.... My husband & I bought the house I grew up in. Built in the mid 1800's I think by the first banker in town... 2 story brick that needs a ton of work..it's rural which I love and I am the biggest antique person around I think. Mom and dad did some updating in the 70's which is ugly but as you know, it's spendy to fix. But I love it . I collect antiques and only wish they could talk and tell me what they've been thru over the years.
I love the photos you captured on this one. Especially at the end. Lost forever houses, once grand
Hey Kappy. OTR stands for Over The Rhine. A neighborhood in the Cincinnati area. Great house. Probably a bad location. Thanks for a great explore in "my" area!! You and Ruby stay safe ✌
Over the Rhine is the name of a music group too!
OTR is rapidly “gentrifying” so there’s a chance this gets saved.
It can also mean on the run or off the record!! But I am guessing that it does mean Over The Rhine.
It probably wasn't a bad area when 1st built.
What a gorgeous old girl she was! I can't get over the ornate woodwork, or the floors! Absolutely fabulous old place!
I love it when you get outside these houses and you can hear the steel of the quietness in the country and the birds chirping around its really sounds calming and Serene.
08:30 at first I thought you said turd! 💩 😂 Another Great find Kappy! 👍
Kinda reminds me of the house Mary used to live in on the old Mary Tyler Moore show. Phyllis on the bottom floor, Mary in the middle apartment, and Rhoda squeezed into the little top turret apartment! 🤣 Love your enthusiasm over the architecture. I loved that mullioned window, the hardwood floors, and the glazed tiles of the fireplace. Charming house. Thanks for exploring it for us guys. 😊😊🏚
I love these explorations. i used to do this with my Dad way back before cell phones and Go-Pros. those places are long gone now!
OTR stands for Over the Rhine. Its the name of the neighborhood. Lots of german history in Cincinnati. Love to see more. I am from there.
It really pisses me off that those who vandalized this home, and many many others, have no respect for the hours and hours of special craftsmanship that went into the building of this home. That kind of craftsmanship is long lost. Such a shame for it to be laid to waste.
Some people are just clueless..
Thanks for sharing. I love the no fuss, no drama way you show us the houses.
It just turns my stomach to see these beautiful old homes destroyed. Thank you for the tour. This house must have been quite something
A real nice house. Must have been a beauty in its time. Thank you Kappy and
Ruby for showing us this beautiful house. It was really cool.
I don't know why I feel the need to go in with my broom and mop and start cleaning lol. CRAZY!
I feel in love with this house in the first 30 seconds. What a beautiful place. So glad to see that you have someone with you. I get very nervous when you go into some of these places alone. I love your enthusiasm Ruby. Both of you please stay safe and keep up the awesome videos. :o)
I fell right away as well. Such a beautiful old place was once a grand home. The remaining woodwork on the walls is an indicator of it's past beauty. It breaks my heart when these old beauties aren't appreciated. Seeing the original chandeliers and mantles made me imagine how beautiful it was. I felt like the message on the wall could have been from the house itself. There is still so much in that house that should be salvaged. I hope it will be.
That house must’ve been grand when first built..I can only imagine. Thanks Kappy for the tour!! 👍😊
Wonderful old home. Tons of stories. Lots of great catches, Ruby. Glad you’ve found such a partner in exploration. Y’all stay safe. ❤️
I really appreciate that!! :) thanks as always for the kind words and watching Susan!! Thank you very much!!
Urban Exploring With Kappy Thanks for sharing with me another awesome video i am glad you took your time to share with me this video about Incredible Packed 144 year old Abandoned Victorian House in Ohio it looked like it could of looked nice back in the day kappy and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless my friend.
OTR stands for Over-the-Rhine, one of the oldest historical neighborhood in Cincinnati, but it was the one of most dangerous neighborhood in Cinci!
Or, on the road, off the radar, old-time radio, on the rocks, on the rag, on the regular. I've seen this tag in many places I'm gonna say on the road "as in" just passing through. =)
@@miaace5070 .....
Good point considering how trashed it was, probably some idiots just wanted to trash something becausr they are on the road to another destination to destroy.
Rocker plates to turn the lights on? Wasn't all that long ago that first house was fully functioning. The degree of dedicated destruction, feasting on decaying ruins (reminds me of vultures picking at carrion) seems like a reflection of a social mindset permeating the area. KILL that town History; someone gonna make tons of money off of the substandard shacks that replace it. TY for preserving the memory. Your filming is spot on and ever so steady! At least we have seen what good buildings were once made of!
Nothing is so disheartening as seeing a beautiful home , totally trashed!
That first house needs to be restored. It's just too beautiful to be sitting there like that. Thank you Kappy
Oh Kappy, she was beautiful once upon a time. Still enough details to imagine how great it was. Thanks, Kappy and Ruby
Kappy..there were lots of old abandoned mansions, so sad to see all of them decaying, I have a calendar of Haunted Abandoned houses, I love it, the houses you showed us reminded me of the calendar. Thanks for sharing another interesting video, have a great rest of the week end.😊
Kappy, I really would love to go with you to be able to touch these old beauties. Some things you just can't appreciate via a screen, but, we try. Thank you for giving all of us THEE BEST explores of abandoned beauty ❤️
I’m glad you enjoy! Maybe someday I’ll do a big explore with subscribers or something! Thank you for watching! :)
The blocked doors and fire escape are an indication that, like so many of these great old homes, later in life they were subdivided and rented out as apartments, even the attic/garret level. City code would have called for fire escapes.
Hi Kappy and Ruby. Great old house. Hate that it and others are going to be torn down. I wish I had the money to save it. Thanks for the tour.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly these beautiful homes fall into disrepair. It looks like they've been empty for far longer...🥺
I would have loved that house. The words on the wall are from a song " When Doves Cry"
I grew up in Cincinnati, but moved away long ago. Be careful, some of the neighborhoods are gang invested and not safe at all. OTR stands for Over The Rhine which is a neighborhood near the new soccer stadium. Cool house tho.
Were the pocket doors still there, I see the space for them? love the windows. That turret rroom could be the master bedrooms bathroom with a claw foot tub. Great tour, thank you lean on God
Loved that banister!! The detail you capture just always hits my eyes, I appreciate those details😊 Thanks Kappy and Ms. Ruby and stay safe guys🤗
Beautiful old Victorian house
You can certainly tell that was a beautiful home at one point.
Love old Victorian homes!! Thanks for sharing!❤️
Thanks for watching! :)
Someone with money built that home. It makes me so sad they get chopped up then left to rot.
Such an elegant home it use to be. It can be restored. Nice find.
Happy I'm am so glad you've made over the hundred thousand mark! Been here from beginning. Congratulations!
Thank you! :) I really appreciate it!! Just glad people enjoy the videos and seeing old houses like I do!
Wow, loved those built in shelves. That last floor was neat.
I will NEVER undersand why people have to go in and just trash the hell out of a place. This would be an awesome house if it were or could be restored.
Most Queen Annes homes of that era also had carriage houses near by. Once again it’s such a shame that old craftsmanship is dissed in the name of shoddy progress
Wow that first house was amazing such a shame it went to waste if I had the money I would have it restored thanks for sharing
Thankyou for giving us a chance to tour these characterful old places.
Wow, what a great find! Love the outside shots, the house def has great character! Interestingly enough, I just can't get that darned theme song outta my head...WKRP in Cincinnati...Love you guys, stay safe.
Thank ya very much aunt gina!! I’ll have too listen too that one!! Much appreciated for watching! :)
Dude, you’ve got the most laid back voice I’ve ever heard. It’s like someone is giving you a neck massage while you’re recording these old house tours.
Well at least parts of her were salvaged so she can live on. Wish we could have seen her in all her glory
Great Showing. I wish there was a way to reclaim a lot of the details like baseboards and tile. Even some of the porcelain would be nice.They don't make that anymore and a lot of home rehab'rs need this stuff.
Kappy, the little balcony you mentioned is part of a fire escape stairway. In order to have apartments, the owner had to put in the fire escape. Beautiful home!
Another interesting house that pulls on the imagination as to what it once was in the past. Good job Kappy and Ruby.
So pretty! Would love to see it in its former glory.
The tile is probably Rookwood. The museum center has an ice cream shop worth a million dollars because it has Rookwood tiles all over the walls. Happy hunting.
I bet back in the day, she was a real stunning piece of architecture. God bless
What a wonderful old home.
Nice video Kappy! Always delivering the best as always 👌🏻
The roof is still good. But the property value works against someone taking on a restoration. Sad. Loved the turret rooms and the foyers 1st and 2nd floor. So lavish. And the bathroom under the first floor staircase. What an extravagant house she is/was.
Love this place! Ruby......keep an eye on Kappy. We don't want to lose him through the floor!
WOW, Cool house. What a waste. It's beautiful . You're doing an awesome job Kappy.
Thank you!! Have some really awesome places on the way!!
hey kapppy i so love these houses designs was a big house and alot of room to bad they had it trashed but it was a coool find keep on keepin on great stream budddy say helllo to ruby seee ya next explore
Hi Kim :) - Ruby
Woah! Changing it up from “Wow!” Looking forward to seeing more inside and out footage soon of these amazing houses you have found.
Sweet place,great video as always!Thanks Kappy!
You said the majic words , packed and victorian.
Thanks for watching! Loved the style of this house!
Hey Happy !!!! I hope you are well. Thx for another outstanding Video. I love them so much n I love how caring n knowledgeable you are with these beautiful old Homes. Thank God for people like you. A good hearted, kind soul. I love ya. Stay safe my friend.
What! an amazing find. From the looks of it, this epic place must have surely been some sort of a room & board kind of house, for people who were receiving a low income budget. However, this monumental Victorian style mansion was most probably a magnificent house, during its prime time, back in the heydays. Especially during the turn of the last century. It definitely deserves to be restored at once, since that there’s not much water damage through the ceilings, or even through the roof. It’s well worth it. Thanks for posting this and have yourself a belated happy new year! 2022, Kappy! Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦.
I'd buy and fix it up if I had the money. It's a beautiful house.
Love the green walled room with the stenciling. The parting shots of some other abandoned homes were really nice. The stone house and the interior pic of that lux living area. Very nice.
This poor house is BEAUTIFUL! With little dedication of TLC, it could be glorious!
So sad that this beautiful house is so neglected and kappy keep up the good work x
The lyrics from Prince's song 'When Doves Cry' was written on that wall. I wonder how long ago.
Another great find Kappy. Thank you, this was an amazing old home.
A beautiful old place they should restore it.
Hi there kappy great video. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your video. thanks again for sharing.
Beautiful house!! Thanks for letting us explore as well!! Love your channel!!
Wow! Can’t wait to see the other homes featured at the end!
Happy Friday to me! Love my Victorians! Thanks for coming to Ohio!
Wow, what a beautiful house that must have been in it's day. Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous old home, so sad that someone didnt cared for this grand old girl. They sure don't built houses like this anymore..SMH
That was a fabulous house. Looks like some fixing up was in the works at one time. Gallon paint cans everywhere.
Fantastic as always Kappy 👏
Just found your account. You've got a new subscriber here! Can't wait to view your other posts, as well as seeing the new ones. 😀👍
Beautiful house. Floors were great. It probably was a real eye catcher in it's day. Thx 4 sharing.
Stunning! Thanks for the our peaceful content.
I loved this house tour once you walked in, interesting house to view. Also I loved the Architecture of this house the wood veneering going upstairs was beautiful 🤩 The built in closets was very nice especially for the time, Very handy with shelves as well. The floors were full of stuff and rubbish, interesting if your in to seeing old fashioned items Books or Clothing. Loved seeing the upstairs with all of the Books 📕 on the landing. I was also interested in seeing the shelves and Cabinets that held Books or other items. 🕹😀
Living in Ohio I've had the opportunity to see a lot of these old mansions Kappy. There's only a few still up in northeast Ohio but let me know if you'd like to see them. Always glad to see you my way.
Not many urban explorer's do it like you do. Keep up the great work!
I'll email you some locations to look into.
I have an Instagram if you would like too message me! Loved Ohio and the beautiful houses! Would gladly make a trip back! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
Everytime I see those old pocket doors it reminds me how thankful I am to have lived in not one but 2 old houses that had those pocket doors they were so cool to cut off a room when you had visitors in the "Calling Room". We had no idea we were so lucky as kids to have those and one house a full attic that was our bedroom and playroom and I'm not "that old" lol. Now that one house has been restored and is in a once again very Ritzy side of town called the Italian Village. Columbus, Ohio. Anna In Ohio
So much to look at in this one. It's just so sad that its left to let ole mother nature take it back. I could hear your young lady in the background. Tell her I said hello. And thanks for taking me along!
It’s absolute sacrilege allowing these beautiful houses to sit and rot. Thanks for sharing Kappy.
