- Check out this Vandal Free 1830 Abandoned Farmhouse!
Welcome to a New Abandoned Remains adventure. In this video I join my friends Matt & Jess as we explore an Abandoned Farmhouse that was built in 1830 and is completely free of vandalism. Places like this are harder to come by, and having just natural decay makes it very worthy of a video. Some of the unique features we'll see is a massive walk in fireplace, storm windows over the original wooden windows and a basement full of support braces. So come along with us as we see what is left of this vandal free abandoned farmhouse.

Places like this are becoming harder to find. I hope you enjoyed what I was able to show & share of this once beautiful farmhouse.
Nice to see it untouched and still as it was. Thanks for sharing 👍.
I LOVE the stonework & all the fireplaces!
This is one of the most beautiful houses I've seen. I'm amazed at how some parts seems untouched, flawless and the rest decayed. Thank you for all you do to show us places like this!
I loved it JP!
The house looks like it could be rehabbed still. Mostly the paint and roof looks the worst. Also it can't be abandoned, I didn't see any toys. Lol
To think that GENERATIONS of families came and left this house, who once called it home. Imagine all the birthday's celebrated, the tears shed, the happy/sad moments shared, all their sucsesses and failures experienced, laughs had, holiday's spent, and possible goodbyes exchanged in that home. It's sad but all things must come to an end sooner or later unfortunatly.
All the ghosts still living there
That walk in fireplace is what is called a " open hearth" fireplace. The inside was once open to a flue and was used for cooking. To the left appears to be a seperate cooking hole for bread or other items. At one time there probably were different hooks for pots to hang on. The stone floor in front was used to pull coals onto for dutch ovens and other cooking equipment. Look up 18th/19th open hearth cooking and you'll see.
“Cooking hole” for bread, commonly called an oven. These old homes had what was called a beehive oven in or next to the large fireplace. That room was the original kitchen.
Older Homes in the uk
I’m glad you told them what a hearth is. To me these are the most amazing parts of these old houses and when people don’t know what they are and only give them a glance I die a little inside. I can imagine the hot wood burning inside them, the steam boiling, the aroma of food, the racks of rich, golden bread. It’s the best part
I was going to say the same thing about the fireplace. So sad it is so noisy there now. I wouldn't want to live there. Loved the house though.
The "hook" for pots to cook from were called fireplace cranes. Thats a sin to let a beautiful, hand-made home like that just to be left to rot. My guess for the thickness of the stone walls on that house judging by similar construction features of my 1810 farmhouse would be 22" - 24"
Time marches on, and at some point each and every one of us will be forgotten. Such a beautiful old home. Thank you for taking us along. 💕
Amen, you are so right! You sound like such a sweet lady!!!
In the 1970s, I owned a historic home built in 1828. I spent several years restoring it to the 1830 period. Much of its construction is identical to this house other than the wood frame exterior and not stone. The framework on our house used old French frame hand hewn logs from the 1790s. The beams were sagged out like this house, and I used steel expansions in the basement like the ones in your video. Fortunately, a cement floor was installed after its initial construction. The door frames and panels were identical to this house and all were original. The roof still had the original split shingles and then covered with galvanized steel roofing from the late 19th century. The back of the house had a brick extension circa in the late 1830s. We were able to determine the historic process of its modifications by several 19th-century hot air balloon illustrations in our historical museum. Civil War observation hot air balloon cartographers after the war would travel around America from 1866 to 1890, making these low altitude illustrations. Very interesting video!
Makes me wonder how many families and people once called that house home . There were Christmas dinners cooked , homework done , laughter and smiles , tears shed and hugs given . People grew up there and moved away , some must have gotten married and started their own homes somewhere else . People I'd guess reached the end of their lives there and left that way . Now that old house that was no doubt " home" to so many over the years is only an empty house nearing it's own end .
I can imagine that was a gorgeous home at one time. I wish someone would come in and save it - restore it to its original state. Those are stenciled walls. Incredible time capsule.
Its wicked how those properties are left to rot.
The biggest issue with these old houses is there's no place to stop. I'm sure the previous probably had it appraised and realized that there was alot of lead and asbestos not to mention wiring from the early 1900s so extreme fire hazard.
Hi this video is so beautiful. How are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
@@Goonslagoon well I agree with you on that it would cost way more money to fix that in the property would be worth
@@mikekeeler6362 Oh for sure. I'm guessing that's why it ended up this way
OMG - what a terrible shame - I would absolutely love to get my hands on that house - you can see just how beautiful it was before all the damp made the surfaces fall off. PLEASE somebody rescue this house !!!
It's amazing to see a house built almost 200 years ago in such good shape, the people that owned it must have loved it. Sad to see it deteriorating, but glad you were able to share it.
Sad to see the deterioration, but glad to see the lack of vandalism. Another great exploration.
Need more Adam and jayson videos!
I need to visit Texas for that to happen. But I always enjoy Adam's company.
@@JPVideos81 I'll definitely be in to visit Pennsylvania summer of next year. If sooner, I'll make sure to let you know.
I would have loved that place, the room with the track lighting,that's interesting. I think maybe they were trying to jack it up in the basement.
I hope someone saw this video and decided to rescue that beautiful old house!!!
when you see a house like this, when it hasn't been trashed by vandals, it is so easy to imagine how beautiful it was back in it's former glory. even before the updates. Because to be honest to have a farmhouse that large and to be able to heat it that efficiently would have been very difficult. the way they designed it with all the fireplaces and the way they were put in tobe efficient, yet not be obtrusive is quite amazing. it breaks my heart to know that a place like that will die a slow death and not be restored. i happen to live in a tiny little 1 room school house that is close to a 150 years old. completely redone of course on the inside, kind of wish that it hadn't been there would be a lot more room lol!
The forest of house jacks certainly does'nt meet code. Very expensive to bring up to standard. Probably why abandoned.
@@rogersmith7396 i'm sure you're right, but even my house has jacks (not like that one by any means, only one set) and it meets codes. But sometimes you can't put a price on things like that when i comes to restoring something. i know the bank could/would. But i would spend the rest of my life putting a house like that back together and be content doing it if i had the funds. things like that from our past that have so much architectural significance shouldn't be left to rot away. a house like that is a work of art and wonder. a house like that would have be fine in the southern states where winters get to be in the 60's. but this was in the north. where winters can get in the sub zero's the way it was built to keep it warm was amazing and almost unheard of in those days!!! my heart is broken at the thought that it will soon be gone forever..
Well now that it's been exposed on yt for a fear, im willing to bet its completely destroyed by vandals with only the thick stone walls still standing.
Unless those survey flags meant there was plans for the place, like hopefully renovation but more likely demolition and redevelopment of the land, or most likely just chasing a gas/water/electrical/phone/sewer line.
I get a feeling that this was a well-loved home that just got to hard to keep up. All those supports in the basement hint out foundation and first floor support issues. Such a shame, but most families can't afford these extensive repairs. Thanks so much for sharing so that it wil never be forgotten.
I think someone was looking to raise it and then move it at one point. There really was not much wall cracking that I could see that would lead to there being any structural issues. Having said that it did look like maybe one of the basement walls collapsed at one point. Hard to say though as they may have been removing that wall so they could back the moving trailer under it, but then you can see some modern bricks in the basement on one wall as well.
That house has some stories to tell that is for sure and it'd be hard to get it to talk, one would have to look at the property ownership over the years and find some living people that lived in it to unravel it's story.
I live in a house from the 1700's that has a lot of similarities! Its definitely stenciling! My mom and I would stencil the floor boards in the living area. Nice thing is our fireplaces are still usable nowadays. We have a little exterior rotting were fixing but for having lived in there all my life I would say it's in pretty good shape! Canf say the same for the cabin out back though lol. Great exploration, I enjoyed the video so much. I love when people explore old historic houses!
Please do videos of this place and let us know.
What a shame this beautiful house and property has been abandoned .Too bad someone could not have saved it before now. Especially loved the deep kitchen window . Those walls are really thick . In all our video explores of old houses I've never seen a floor vent iike the one you found ....great idea . This is a wonderful old house . Can you imagine the life it has seen in its 192 years ? ( so glad it wasn't vandalized )..Thank you so much for documenting and sharing this historic gem before it is gone forever .
My sister lived in an old farm house a few years ago. They had 1 bigger square one. They were told it hear & cold circulation.
Hi. Actually, those cast iron vents are very common in older homes.😊
I love old stone houses!! If only the walls could talk 🙂 I’m happy not to see graffiti 👍🏻 Thanks for the cool explore JP 🙌🏻✌🏻
Holy crap, almost 200 years old and still standing. It’s so interesting to see the different eras combined as different people lived there. Awesome find! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I found that fascinating as well.
They all can’t be cared for like Mt Vernon or Monticello, but for what it is worth… the building for being that old is in incredible shape.
Amazing that the all glass storm door is INTACT! Now that's a rare find on an abandoned house.
Huge fireplace can also be named a “hearth”, people used to cook in those before our lovely ovens.
The front bedroom and bathroom were most likely originally built as one room. Based on the age of the house, it was probably built without an indoor bathroom, but had an outhouse. Several clues as to my conclusion are (1) the age of the house (2) the narrowness of the two rooms (3) the offset of the windows (4) lack of a closet in the front room. Most likely there was a narrow closet in the offset between the stairs and front wall.
This is really an interesting exploration! .. and reminds me of the long ago houses of my ancient relatives in upstate New York.
Thanks for a great video!
TheCornish people werent afraid of being explorers,travellers often miners and like the QueenUK tiny people,so why we see doorways low. Many abandoned homes of this era seen isolated places in small groups stuck together but pity sure be interesting see saved just roof beams still good cond.really but not much longer by look of holes,its lead paint based used by way its peel but once could image was loved well lived
Exactly, I was born and raised in upstate NY, and there are houses all over here quite similar to this one.
what a beautiful house. My mother's ancestors built one like this in 1790, the 1-80 Progress Avenue on-ramp took it out. So yeah, the front door could be on the road.
What an awesome home. Those walls are so thick that drafts might have come through the windows but not through the walls !!! Just awesome to see a home so well preserved and the way it was constructed, truly a lost art. I am positive the room with the huge fireplace was the place they did their cooking. It is in more of a central spot so the heat would have traveled upstairs much easier and helped to heat the upstairs. The grates in the floor would also have let heat up as well The builtins are beautiful. if the roof was fixed I think the house could be saved. It has to be one of the older houses left in the area for sure. The upstairs bedroom was stenciled and the birds are quails. such a nice feature in an old home.
What an incredible hidden gem, pretty awesome to see a house of that age that’s not been graffitied of trashed, very impressive...
Breaks my heart to see these beautiful old places left to rot
Wow, what a find! The house was heated with coal at one time. It might also been used in the fireplaces. There's a coal chute behind the furnace. The kitchen would have been where the big fireplace is. There's a pantry and the entry to the cellar where goods would have been stored is also in the same room. Handy for getting coal from the cellar if it was used for cooking. The upstairs was remodeled when the bathroom was put in. There wouldn't have been a room like what you called the studio. There is no door or front wall. That room would have been part of what later became the bathroom is my guess. A shame it couldn't have been restored. Amazing it wasn't vandalized.
Thanks for your insight
The little yellow flowers are daffodils and are a good indication that the space was a home garden, planted very close to the house. Many of the plantings are very old.
What a gem of an old house. The house still looks like it can be saved.
You are right about these kinds of older homes, getting harder and harder to find untouched. Definitely loved the fireplaces in this house and I never seen so many supports in one basement. That stencil of the birds is definitely not wallpaper, just wow. Amazing old farm home and thank you for showing us around.
There was lots of charm and care given to this old beauty. Thanks for stopping by to check it out.
I LOVE WATCHING THESE OLD HOUSES ! THANK YOU !🤗❤️👍
the outside of the house reminded me of the Black Sabbath self titled album cover.
oh you're right it absolutely does haha
exactly
So cool to see the eclectic mix of old and new. I noticed in the dining area there's a wood strip that goes all around the wall 2/3 feet off the floor. That's a chair rail. It keeps the chairs from damaging the wall of the room 😊
So sad 😞😥 to see this gorgeous old home slowly deteriorating from neglect. At least there's no graffiti/vandalism except for where the copper was stripped out.
Another top notch video! What an awesome location. Thanks for taking us along with y'all and remember to always be safe 💗
What an incredible find!!!! A house with mostly original features. The built ins, those beautiful, commonly used colours for that early 1800’s era, the teal blue, the oxblood red and the marigold yellow. What an amazing kitchen massive fireplace with a bread oven. Amazing that things are still intact!!! This has been a thrill! The shots and music were beautiful! Thank you for sharing this beauty. Before l forget, stencilling was very popular for early houses. There were itinerant artists who’d travel from place to place, getting paid to stencil. Research on old homes will open up a whole world of stencilled walls with some that are very famous.
Ty for watching
Wow. What an amazing old house. It is a testament to the way they used to build things that it is in such relatively good shape, considering that the roof is little more than a suggestion at this point.
The house should be on a historic register and protected, the main kitchen was the very large hearth the others were for heat. The large amount of support beams in the basement are mostly due to new rules about supporting the home. And yes the upstairs are hand stencil work I’d great. Thanks for letting us see this! Be safe!
What a rare find...to see such an early house abandon for so long and not vandalized...It looks so solid except for the failing roof,,, and has so much of its original doors...woodwork and mantles. Hopefully someone can save this early house from destruction. Thank yiu for another amazing exploration... keep healthy and safe in your travels.
My name is Shirleyann and I was raised in a two story home built in 1874. I t was originally a farm home, with great ambiance, especially during Holidays. My Dad, EARL, spent years keeping it updated (as much as he could with seven children), and was a wonderful landscaper as well. It is still in use today, having been cut in half (almost) after my Parents sold it when I was 18 years old, and having many changes made to the exterior structure and grounds since then. Many fond memories in that home, in spite of my only brother dying in 1961 while still living in our home.
So good to see you exploring an abandoned house again - hope it's not the last!! What a beautiful, solidly built farm house and how sad that nature is reclaiming it. They certainly don't build houses like that any more. Your photos and accompanying music 🎶 at the end of the video really tugged at the heart strings!! Gill 🇬🇧
so many old properties I see on YT are so broken down I say just raze it, but this one looks like it has "good bones" as they say. Looks worth restoring. I didnt count the fireplaces but what a luxury to have so many. I would insist that all be restored to working condition and cut way back on baseboard heat.
Finding an 1830 with NO vandalism is totally amazing! There is of course the walls are falling apart from the roof letting the water in and nature doing it's damage. But this old house is still totally stunning! Can ypu image what it looked like 100 years ago??? Thanks for sharing this house with us!
That was so amazing. The elegant simplicity of that house is so beautiful. Even the circular vent in the floor. The windows, thick walls, combination of old and new. ❤️
It looks like the original stone house may have been added onto later in time.
Amazing ... really appreciated.
Old houses are gradually disappearing on a a regular basis, sadly enough. Thanks JP for taking the time for documenting this old house.
Oh wow sort of reminds me of my Granny's house. The old fall down steps to upstairs. The wedge steps. One of us always fell down the steps. Her house was on the side of a mountain which we loved to explore.lots of copperhead in the area. The creek that ran thru her yard was always a adventure. We often found turtles and frogs. Your video brought back great memories . Thanks JP.
Amazing that someone spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to put those struts and upgrades to it just to abandon it. I'd love to know the history of those that lived there. That hole in the floor was a heating vent. My grandmother's house had them in every room upstairs. It was fun to eavesdrop on the adults when we were kids.
Those jack posts in the basement are cheap. Based on what I can see they were maybe $15 each about 30+ years ago. The fact that they used a dozen of them tells me it was a DIY fix using scrap wood and a few hundred bucks.
I grew up in a 1771 Colonial house in Gorham. Maine, and it had one of those grates. There is a metal piece that moves back and forth to open and close the louvers that are located under the grate. Every morning Mom would holler up through it, "It's time to get up, Susan!"
Yea all those floor jacks in the basement and so close together makes me think someone was looking to raise that house and then move it at one point but abandoned that idea for some reason. No way all those so close together were needed for any structural stability.
@@Diffidentone ... Floor jacks are for raising a car. These are called "jack posts" and are for leveling a house / floor. These are what you use to make things straight so you can add new wood to brace the floor. House jacks used for moving a home are much more substantial and are usually set on top of wooden stacks called cribbing. When you reach the right height you slip in a long steel beam, in preparation to support the entire structure with only 2 or 3 beams. What you see in this video is an amateur hack job that's not finished.
@@rupe53 what you call them there and what we call them here are different, a jack used for cars is called a scissor jack or hydraulic floor jack around here. Those under the house are called adjustable floor jacks here as the adjustable part is on top, if the threaded (adjustable) part was on the bottom then it would called a adjustable column.
Thank you for taking us along to see this historic house. It would be wonderful to live in such a beautiful house on such scenic property. It is sad that it will continue to waste away.
Loved this video, JP; thank you and your friends for taking all of us! It’s great to be back in an abandoned house again; hope more will follow. Yes, what an incredibly built home; the walls are so thick! Would have loved to see the attic fireplace zoomed in more. Thank you again and much appreciated…..🌝
Most of us can think about our childhood homes and what they meant to us… The meals that were cooked, the Christmases and birthdays that were had, the daily life that was lived, probably with parents and siblings, maybe grandparents,… there is every reason to believe that this house was all those things and more to perhaps multiple families through the decades, and that it played that role in so many lives yet here it lies decaying into the dirt… That is just profoundly sad to me.
What a beautiful home this was at one time! I find myself imagining what it was like back in the day and what it looked like decorated with all those beautiful fireplaces and then outside with that awesome porch, clothes hanging on the clothesline, and a gorgeous garden! I even find myself imagining how I would decorate it. Love the antique chimney stove pipe cover, the wallpaper in the upstairs bathroom, and vanity lights. The staircase going up to the attic is so cool. It is so nice to see an abandoned home with no vandalism. Your pictures are amazing as always! Thank you so much JP, really great video!
Thanks so much 😊
This is absolutely amazing. One of my favorites. I agree that it is a shame this house wasn't restored. Such a piece of history. Thank you for bringing this to us to explore with you!
That old house sure is a beauty, or at least it was back before it was abandoned, and it's amazing vandals haven't gotten into it and graffitied it and broke the windows, some good TLC and a bit of hard work and it could be lived in again, thanks for sharing JPVIDEOS
Really? Lived in again? Idk about that
Cc. I would love to be able to buy and restore as my own i love the whole lay out. Much loved for sure. Wish i end up aging in that home. I just love your job. Tha nks its ro bad there arnt any of these kinds of places in my area oregon. Id love to do what you do
How sad it is to think that this poor old house was once someone's home. It looks like it was warm and comfortable inside at one time. Now sadly, the old place is dead. It does make you wonder who these people were that lived here all those years ago, what happened to them, where they went and why, and where they are now. Are any of them still living or have they all passed on.
Older & newer, the stories that can be imagined there. Still such beauty after all this time.
Amazing find!!!!
Thank you for filming this. You said these are getting harder to find. I hope it's not your last.
Safe travels 🤗
I remember this house. Someone else explored it a while back. Very German inspired house. Love these old Pennsylvania homes! The birds in the upper room were in fact stenciling. The huge fireplace is a true cooking fireplace. So sad this was left go.
Didn’t Kappy explore this house?
Neat house,thanks for showing it to us.👍😀
That looks like it would have been s very cozy home at one time. The compilation of still shots you captured was incredible, JP. Thank You for sharing another interesting adventure! 😊💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
This place reminds me of one of my aunt's house Old farm house This place is really nice It does look like the basement is being worked on Hopefully some one is going to re store it If it was me i would have done the roof first thanks for sharing
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
This is a beautiful house and I would love to live in it. It's obvious that the previous owners really cared for it, what a shame its abandoned. Best intact explore I've ever seen, thank-you guys, and I've just subscribed. Thanks from England.
Such a beautiful home. With some love and hard work this home can be restored.
Oh I love this house. Even though in decay, it still has so much charm and character. Such a shame it's been left in this state.
My new supervisor at the park has a degree in historical buildings and preservation and can replicate and build anything to fix it up. I am going to show him this, I think he’ll get a kick out of it. Another awesome find.
Looks like it would've been a beautiful home and with the little girls drawings & writing .💕. thanks for showing JP.
My pleasure
Must have been a lovely family home. Beautiful accents and colors.
It’s too bad no one is restoring that beautiful old home
Ikr? Even in the shape it was currently in at the time this was filmed, it is still more beautiful than 99% of modern homes imo.
Nature is taking this old beautiful place back
Long winter in there with not much insulation in the walls. Amazing how the families kept it going in the 1800’s without accidentally burning the place down. 🌺
What a gorgeous house! So much of the original left. I have lived in 2 different houses in my life that were built in around 1830, but they had been updated at some point. One in the 1920's and the other in the mid 1900's. This one is nearly pristine. It may have been condemned due to the many jackposts in the basement. I enjoyed the little journey through this awesome historic house. Just a thought about the room you called a studio, it may have been set up for homeschooling. I homeschooled my kids in the 90's. It was a time when homeschooling was really taking off in the US and had become a bit more mainstream. Thanks for the tour!
The homeschooling theory is actually good because of the huge board on the wall... I didn't even saw it on the first viewing...
I agree the bathroom was absolutely gorgeous. This home was loved. The lady of this home had great taste and decorating skills. Thank you for this jewel! The old pic of the house was great, love before and after and seeing the home in its prime. So glad I got to see it, thanks again.
The forged braces for the door could be from the 1600-1700s that were used for this 1830's home. All of these old homes heated with wood and coal, and had oil lamps. The large fireplace that you could walk into was the main area for cooking over an open fire.
I think that’s right Kay. Hi how are you doing with your family I do hope you are safe from the virus?
What a spectacular cooking fireplace with oven, and the original stenciling is a great find! In the attic, that isn't a fireplace but is where two flues come together to one chimney. I used to live in a Pa farmhouse with shingled roof I could see through and when it rained, the shingles swelled up so fast that very little water got in. I used the cooking fireplace a few times and those are generally smoky, not having been built with a smoke shelf.
Great find and explore Jay. In it's day that house must have been pretty spectacular. The ones without vandalism are few and far between, your so lucky to have come across this one. Imagine if those walls could talk; the stories they could tell. Thanks for bringing us along. 👊👍🤙
Not sure how many more are still out there without vandalism, but atleast we got to see this one. Btw, how's the ThruNite?
@@JPVideos81 love it, its a part of my everyday carry stuff. Thanks again.
I could be wrong, but I got a good vibe from this house. Maybe some sadness, but not intense.
Beautiful house even in decay I can imagine what it was like back in the day and to see those drawings it gives a very personal feeling the family that once lived there it's sad to see history slowly decaying glad you were able to document this wonderful old home before it's gone .
Loved the tour and it’s nice seeing an abandoned place without graffiti! As you were standing by the front porch I thought about how old that cedar has to be because it was in the old photograph you showed. Imagine if it could talk the stories it could tell!!!
This over 100 years old needs to be save. It looks to be salvageable. The major concern is all those supports in the basement. Might need to bring in maybe a structure engineer. To check everything out before doing any renovations. But do hope it can be saved.
I very much enjoyed watching you explore this old farmhouse. I think I would have loved to live in that house. It also reminds me of me in that it's saying, I'm here and I'm barely hanging on. 🙂 I've always been a fan of those deep window sills. The fireplaces were simple but, they were at nice angles and in the best places of each room. I also really liked the bathroom.
I can just imagine the family coming in the front door. I'm glad I found your channel. Sincerely, Carly 🌺🙂🌿
There are indications with those thick walls that this is a log cabin. That corner cupboard and mantels ! I want this place.
My first video's I watched from your channel was abandoned house's and I believe a big abandoned school or psych hospital. Abandoned structures are my favorite of your video's, but I enjoy all of them. That fireplace was crazy. It probably sucked all the warmth out.
That sound sweet!
Same here, how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
That house appears to be structurally solid! Those walls look to be nearly a foot thick.
That house is NOT in bad shape It could totally be fixed up!! It is awesome
Back in the early 1800s, folks were much shorter than they are now. That's why there's so little headroom in this house.
This is a wonderful old house, and in remarkably good condition. Sadly, those survey markers may spell impending doom for this house.
Thanks very much for a great exploration! It was very enjoyable!
Thanks for watching
Hi JP..
I bet that house has some memories in those walls..
But I bet it was a beast to heat in the winter, even with the baseboard heat..
Hi JP.
My husband and I own a red stone 1851 farmhouse near York . We have the same deep windowsills and plaster walls. I hand stenciled borders in every room. These are lovely old homes!
deep windowsills is a sine of a log cabin.
Yes,in some cases. My house and many others here in PA Dutch country are solid stone. We have had to drill thru it for exterior outlets. Yep...solid stone.
Us as well. That drilling sets your teeth on edge!
i would love to live in a place like that. it sure would take a lot of money and time to restore it back to its former glory but it could be done. Glad you were able to film it before mother nature reclaims it...enjoyed the video
Amazing find! Really enjoyed this old farmhouse; they're my favorite. I actually had a Dish Network mini dish like that in 2008, so I don't think it's 90's. Also, the newer stove makes me think this was abandoned between 2004 & 2010. In 12 years with a roof like that, it would decay pretty quickly. What a shame nobody is restoring & enjoying it, but it would be extremely expensive to do, & that floor plan & house size wouldn't make it worth that huge cost to restore. Great video!!
Dish network started in 1996, so it's probably somewhere within that timeframe of late 90s to early 2000s.
@@JPVideos81 I should've said Direct TV! Oops. But yes, I agree
I think the main is the roof - get a new roof structure in & tiled and then it's mostly hard labor to get every last bit of old plaster etc out & clean everything & get it all dried out. Those floors look solid even if damp right now, apart from the attic level, they are not yet falling apart. So I think it's all completely doable - been there, done that a couple of times in my 82 years already - altho not quite as far gone as this one ! Somebody with good taste had that home, you can tell by the early color schemes that they knew the period of the house & treated it with love. So sad ! I was wondering if the very close roadway means that the property was taken by the state for that purpose. That could be why it's just sitting there doing nothing !
The stove is around 2008 as well as the dishwasher.
This is a totally cool house. It needs to be loved again.
If I had a whole lot of money I would love to fix it. I would fit nicely at 4’11” 😆😆
😆
Thank you for sharing. I can imagine the family that lived there.
Same here I can imagine how beautiful it’s. How are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
These farm house once it was very comfy and pretty.i like to explore.tnx for sharing.keep it up.
Cool little house….loved the thick walls with the thick window sills!! Thanks for sharing!!! 💖💙💖💙💖💙
Same here enjoyed watching this interesting video, hi Cynthia how are you doing with your family I do hope you are safe from the virus?
Absolutely amazing old place just nestled away. Those old farm houses really had unique floor plans. Almost all of them had the half spiral steps usually at the far ends of the house or in the middle. Yes, you are correct on the floor vent for allowing heat to rise up from the floor below. Nick had mentioned to me before that the way the paint was flaking off is called alligatoring and is definitely lead paint. Cool adventure and looking forward to your other videos from this day. 😉
Good thing I didnt munch on those flakes like potato chips
Those kids drawing on the door must be like 100 years old if not more... That actually pretty cool to see how people lived back in the day. Crazy to think people lived there over 100 years ago... It's actually fascinating. The original family is long gone by now sadly...
pretty solid looking house, reroof and scrape and paint the walls and its livable.
Good evening Jp. Your photos truly bring forth life into this naturally decaying piece of beauty.
What a gorgeous old farmhouse I don't have a favorite piece it was all incredible to me.
The big walk fireplace I can imagine a wood burning stove keeping the home warm with supper been readied.
It's so so rare to find anything not destroyed by vandals these days.
Brilliant presentation.
I like to think that a elderly person out there will come across this or be shown it and it will bring joy to them with memories and good thoughts of past times.
Newer home lack this old character that homes once had.
Thanks mate have an amazing week
Thanks for stopping by my friend. These videos always jog the memories of times gone past and seeing it with natural decay is a sad, but beautiful site. Have a great week!
@@JPVideos81 +My pleasure mate 🙂 always enjoy my time..and most definitely.
The natural decay is its own theme of self beauty in these places. Really happy we got to enjoy it with you..and thank you mate🙂
Great video JP! On 16:07 they are wall stencils that you can paint a border out of stencils, very popular in the late 90s, and the birds are called Distlefinks on Pennsylvania Dutch folklore sign, they mean love and marriage. 😃
Love and marriage? Go together like a horse and carriage…must be Married with Children fans 😀
Thanks for the info
Love your voice , seeing only the positive in that old home. I began to see the house as it did back when a family was living there. Thanks.
Seeing the appliances and furniture made me smile.I plan on decorating my next home with apkancss n furniture from the 70-90s.
This is cool JP! I they’d restore it.lol I know I say that about everything but after living in Savannah for a while, I came to appreciate the need for historical preservation. Once these places are gone, that’s it. I hope it stays vandal free til nature claims it.
If I owned this place I’d spend the few thousand to put a tin roof on it just to slow the decay even if I didn’t have plans for it. Even with its age and condition it’s still worth something. The highway going in so close really changed the “vibe” of the place I’m sure. Maybe houses like this are more common than I realize but it sure feels like a lot of history is wasting away in this house.
This is awesome! My mother lives in a home that was built in the 1800’s in North Carolina and the walls are very thick like these. Every room has a fireplace and she still uses two of them with gas logs as the chimneys are questionable. The difference that I see in this home and mom’s, is the width of the window sills. What a beautiful home this must have been. If only the walls could talk.
That corner cupboard in the dining room is gorgeous… It is too bad that you couldn't get permission from the homeowner to remove it and install it in another house before it completely disappears. The wide windowsills are almost completely unheard of now, and those bird stencils in that room upstairs are so unique! The little window by the chimney is so cute... You don't see that very often anymore. So many goodies! That entire house is truly beautiful. Oh, I could go on and on, but most of all I am glad that vandals haven't found it and ruined it. (The annoying neat freak in me is dying to go in there and sweep everything up!)
