Oh man, I'd give my right arm to be able to buy, clean and restore this mansion...as long as all the furniture was included! This is my kind of house. So incredibly beautiful.
Me too guys… maybe in my next life 🤷🏻♀️ the home has a sadness feeling to it like the original owner/builder is so sad about how it looks and the neighborhood now 😢
Hey Big Bankz, please contact our Restoration Nation, give them a heads up about this place, maybe they can save this beauty. I hope you got the bird out, Thanks for sharing. Love from N.Y.
It is absolutely stunning! I am from South Carolina and familiar with the family story. I would like to pass some history on to you. The furniture is exquisite. I know where this house is located but it is very common in South Carolina for some of the plantation homes in around the State Capital to be used a very nice offices of prominent lawyers, politicians basically the upper crust in business professionals as the leases are extremely expensive and they are all near the legal and judicial buildings for the state. It is a lovely video. I love this time period for many reasons, the elegance, class, work, quality and lifestyle that was led. I am partial to my air conditioning and I know life was not easy during that era but I still find the obstacles and grace that they managed to live through these things is absolutely amazing and humbling. Thank you for this lovely video. Take care, stay safe and God bless! xo 💞 Kat
My Mom's house was built in 1904. She is an interior designer. You have to WANT to live in a house that is very large like 4,500sq ft and be ready for maintenance or maintenance problems get out of hand fast.
I agree 110%. That is why we moved out of ours and sold it. Just taking care of the wood all the time really sucked. I actually loved the look. My wife however prefers the cleaner look of modern decorating . More light earth tones and even the wood flooring has to be medium walnut at best. This is why I traded my wife for a good mule. It got rid of her and with the mule I was able to pull up all the flooring at once. Hey if my wife shows up here. Tell her I was only joking. I know she is worth at least 4 mules 😎🙃 But seriously the old place is long gone and yes my wife is still around. Only because I know no one who sells mules. Good thing she has a sense of humor. I would hate to wake up with a cast iron pan fitted to my ugly mug.
My husband and I live in a 100 year old house. What you wrote is true. I'm physically stronger than I used to be simply due to keeping up with the house. It's sooo demanding and seems to have been a life of its own. We've been at odds. So much is just manual labor. I can see why people with larger homes had servants. I'd like a maid, cook and gardener.
@@Patriot-rising You wrote my nightmare. Very old house, all original wood floors, wood siding, moulding, casement windows, baseboards, built-ins... ALL ORIGINAL. There is so, so, so much work involved. We inherited and can't leave because we're keeping it in the family. Getting ready to wallpaper ($350 per roll 118"x187")... Heating and A/C are killing us. Rooms closed off for utility expenses. Moving plants around here, there, everywhere due to temperature variations by seasons. Burning wood to save $). Lie awake at night and make plans. That's my falling asleep ritual.
A well built home you aren’t going to encounter many maintenance issues for a decade or more. In old homes a 1200 square foot home could have three times the issues as a 6000 square foot home. That’s just old homes for you.
Oh my this is stunning 😍 I am so happy nobody painted the woodwork. I love stained woodwork. Please don't vandalize these marvelous pieces of art ✨️ 🙏🏻
I’ve not long ago started watching your channel. It’s so interesting and it’s even better when you describe some of the history behind the buildings that you explore. It’s so great that you start each video with a quote from the Bible. It’s so uplifting and just nice to see. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏻👍🏻
I suggest checking out exploring with Josh abandoned videos , he often knows the history of the places he explores , would love to know what you think - A
This is seriously the most beautiful house I have ever seen. And I’ve watched many of your videos. It’s just so elegant and the natural lighting. The stained glass windows?! The claw foot tub? The fire places?!
Just love the Victorian Era, those big ball gowns and bonnets they use to wear. Beautiful place. That bird is going to die, no food and water to keep him going. Great video. Thanks for sharing
I also just recently started following your vlogs. I love the history you give about the places you explore and your method of doing so. The bible quotes are a comforting touch as well. I am excited to see what else you have coming. Keep up the wonderful work.
And yet you can’t find someone to buy it because of the area that it’s in. They have pushed good people out of beautiful cities with beautiful homes pushed them to the outskirts to live in trailers and they’re steadily taking over
Oh my word what a fantastic house. FYI in the 1800s and early 1900s it was very common for furniture makers to build caskets. They always had wood and knew how to build stuff. Loved all the stained glass and woodwork. Especially the fireplaces. Hope someone will take it over and preserve it.
Wow! I found myself saying "oh my god" (out loud) as we approached another room. So unbelievable to see the original tiles and fireplace screens still intact. The stained glass window was beautiful. The wood work is amazing. If i had to guess I would think that tiled room was originally the kitchen. They probably re worked that room when the offices were in use, which is just tragic mostly because that space is just about the ugliest thing I've ever seen! This house seems like with a little work it could be restored to it's original glory. Hopefully, someone will rescue her from mother nature before she rots. I can't believe it's abandoned, Just WOW!
It’s amazing that all those valuable antiques are still there. I doubt the rug you admired is of the Victorian era. It is most likely something one of the businesses using it brought in. The weird purplish couch that you thought might be a psychologist’s couch is actually called a fainting couch (for when women wore corsets and because of that became short of breath) or a chaise lounge. The inside of this house with its huge spaces, beautiful floors, remaining built in features and antique furniture is much more impressive than the outside IMHO. I pray it can be saved! Perhaps someone could purchase it and move it to a more desirable location to save it from destruction. 🙏🏻
This is a dream home for me. I'm an old home lover The wood is unpainted and immaculate. I'm well aware of what it takes to maintain them. Nothing else feels like you're living in a more simple time when you come home.
Gorgerous home! Wish I had the money to buy it and renovate it!! The tile room with the drain in the middle was either a washroom/laundry room, surgery, or indoor pet room. Possibly an indoor abottoire.
I’m looking forward to this one!! My grandparents lived in a big Victorian in Rockwood Mi when they past away the property was sold and it was torn down and a dam car lot put there. I miss it
What a stunning house with all its original period features 👌 😍 the stained glass windows, the floors & the fireplaces are beautiful. I hope it's used again as a residence; it would be an amazing home for a very lucky person or family 😃 thank you for sharing this explore 😊
Strange that there’s no kitchen. The thing I don’t like about the old houses is the lack of closet space. Gorgeous furniture. I hope vandals don’t get in
The "drain room" could very well have been the original kitchen, but the current state is definitely not original. Many houses of the South had kitchens in an outbuilding or basement (a dumbwaiter would have indicated a basement kitchen). I have to disagree with the other commenter on floor drains in Victorian kitchens: indoor plumbing, where it existed, was not that sophisticated. That room in its current state has been updated and the floor drain is most likely a concession to modern codes.
What a beauty it needs to be put on historical registere let it be a land mark for that town.I hope some one steps up and saves all the furnishings and the house.Beautiful👍❤️
This mansion look amazing , it's so sad that this amazing house become abandoned I always think if anyone of this family is alive why they didn't come to receive this ?? Hope someone save this place
LOVE THE EXPLORE , SUCH A BEAUTIFUL "HOME" !!! Back in those days they used to use the lower level for entertaining and eating the upper level of the home was used for living that's why it's so much larger and the tiled room that you are wondering about on the main level with all the outlets that was probably the mudroom (the outlets probably came later in time) if that door led to the outside where they would come in and take off their dirty things or it could even have been used as a washroom for laundry and other things
Beautiful and stunning; incredible stainglasss and wood work. Love the artistry within also. Thanks to you all for sharing this lovely passage of time one.
The upstairs is gorgeous those wide hallways leading to the bedrooms were very common to these big old mansions. They were great for making a living space to sit and chat with guests. Filled with ornate tables lamps sitting furniture etc…I am fortunate to have grown up around these type of old homes, had friends that lived in them ♥️ Great memories
What a beautiful old Mansion. I love the Victorian time,the furniture are amazing.I think the man on the old photo over the fire place was the first owner,maybe.Thanks for another awesome explore.Greetings from Germany.
What a stunning, beautiful house. I love it. I hope it gets bought and lived in again. Everything about it is so pretty. Maybe that room was a kitchen, can't think of anything else it would be. Fantastic.
Maybe the room with the drain in the middle of the floor and all the outlets was a big laundry room. Looks like the laundry rooms that are put in apt buildings. Great video, thanks!
Hey BB, great find!!!! Craftsmanship details beyond what dreams are made of. About the dining room set, I believe it is Japanese, I'm not a fan of that look, but your right, it is expensive and plenty of wealthy people displayed Japanese furniture, dishes, and artwork to show that they had money. Some of that is extremely valuable. Most of the furniture, light fixtures, and those beautiful fireplaces are priceless!!! Very BEAUTIFUL!!!
It is actually not Japanese. These were made in Thailand or Vietnam. The furniture was actually very cheap when it was created back in the late 60's early 70's . A lot of military personnel shipped this stuff back home because their shipping charges were quite low and for the price they paid for the furniture made it such a great deal to ship back to their sweethearts. This furniture looks good but is not the best when it came to the inlays. They often came out of the wood. Funny thing is these were actually designed and produced for foreigners. The Asians never really cared for all of that stuff. It today is worth something. Like I said up above around $ 8,000 to 12,000 which is being overly generous. The ones they are looking at have various issues I can see and that probably means quite a bit more that is hidden. The wood they used so often dented so easily. The set you see in the house would probably get to about $3500.00 max due to the condition. But you are 100% correct. The Asian influence carried from the later part of the 60's right up to about the mid 80's. To me it is very ugly stuff. It all boils down to personal tastes.
I'm absolutely amazed nobody destroyed that beautiful Edison C-19 (possibly a C-250) phonograph. It's stunning the woodwork is still in tact (and not graffitied nor stolen). I've always wanted to live in a Victorian home, but after reading several comments about the struggles and difficulties they are to maintain), I may be thankful years down the road that I never bought a money pit. I could definitely however see myself living in a Victorian house permitted I had a disposable income for proper upkeep and needed repairs. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I would love to be able to do some salvaging in a place like that. Not only the furniture, but the transom doors/windows, the pocket doors, stained glass, the books, etcetera.
I believe the Asian dining room furniture was inlaid with mother of pearl. Many Victorian homes had this type of furniture. As for the books, this was a brown hard covered set from Time Life series of the Old West.
Great tour of a stunning Victorian! That is my dream home, so beautiful. The fireplaces! The furniture! All of it 😍Just wow. Funny there was no kitchen?
Yes, caskets. Often, the casket makers had the best wood. My great grandmother's bed she had made after coming from Bavaria still has a partial sticker from the casket maker in her new hometown here.
My Grandparents house was made from an old one room school house, and my grandpa built the rest of the house by himself! So amazing how I love history! That is Gorgeous I love anything Victorian!
The therapist type of couch is called a chaise lounge (shayz lawng). It's been around since ancient Egypt. Picture an ancient Egyptian sitting on one being fanned by their servants. The Greeks and Romans used it for reclining at the table while they ate. It really became a thing from the 16th century to the late 19th century. Women found it easier and more comfortable to nap on one during the day because of the tight corsets they wore. Sometimes they were cinched so tight they would shift the ribs and organs out of place in the pursuit of beauty with the tiniest of waist. But men enjoyed it as well for reading and napping. There are a whole host of explanations for the shape of that chair but those are the more popular ones.
I was hoping you guys would have found the door to the attic and turret tower room but amazing house I hope some one takes it and gives it love and enjoys living in it some day
I’m not sure if I could picture myself living in a Victorian home but I absolutely love them and the design elements of them. Great job on this video! I’m pretty sure the upstairs alone is bigger than the whole state of Rhode Island🚩
Thanks for sharing another amazing video. If this house was here in my town there wouldn't be nothing left, even the doors and windows would have been stolen by the homeless.
The room with all of the outlets and a drain on the floor was a sauna ,,at one time the house had to be used for entertaining ,,parties and get together,s ,,and ohh my the old claw foot bath tub ,, don't you just Love It ,,what an awesome house
Thank you so much yes i enjoyed this explore with you:) all around Beauty . wow so big . Awseome intro BB .Keep living the dream:) lookin for the next explore:)
My grandfathers Victorian home had hallways on the second floor that were even larger. They had huge wardrobes that held linens for the bedrooms and bathrooms. There were also beautiful setees along the walls. Pink isn’t just used for bedrooms. In the past it was most used in other rooms. There are many pink rooms in Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. It was a common color for living rooms. It seems to be the United States that has relegated pink to girls rooms.
What a beautiful home and the older furniture really nice I hope someone will save it. That’s why I love the older homes and furniture because it was made the last. Thank you for sharing have a wonderful weekend 😊
How do you get into these kind of places? I live in Pennsylvania and I constantly struggle finding abandoned places to explore. They usually get torn down because of people mistreating those places, or they are heavily secured. All I wanna do is take pictures and make videos like this. How do you do all of this without getting in trouble? Also, have you been to Pennsylvania for abandoned places? If so, where did you go to?
Wow that was some house I was completely mezerized it's such a waste no one lives in it I love how you respect everyones property and your presentation is amazing I really enjoy watching your videos saying hi from Ontario Canada ❤️ stay safe !!
You never went in the basement. That's what makes or breaks a large house. Love seeing foundations and the house's infrastructure. Might give you an idea why it's abandoned.
I absolutely love your videos! They've helped me through the hardest time in my life...thank you for including awesome bible verses and being wholesome! God Bless!
very beautiful pieces that were sadly left behind. sad that house is just sitting there wasting away too. hope the bird found a way out. thanks for sharing
Please tell me where this house is. I suspect it is in south Carolina but that is just a guess. My husband and I would love to restore it ( truly I do not think it needs much restoration but having not been in it I don't know if that is accurate or not ). Sincerely, Lynette Tillman
Absolutely gorgeous home and furniture so sad its probably in a bad neighborhood, the craftsmanship in this home is beautiful they don't make houses like this anymore, I would love to own it.
I really hope that someone can buy this place. I love the Victorian furniture. But most of all I loved the woodwork of the rooms. As others have said I wish that I could buy it. What a great deal. The Chinese furniture is pretty cool too.
When I started to follow you not to long ago. I find these videos interesting and to see different dwellings. It's just amazing how many places there are abandoned Keep making videos I enjoy them 😊 🙂
What an amazing old house and still in livable condition and in those days houses were built to last with wood floors and carved wood and antique furniture ,,and the style of the house,,wow , don't you just love it
I used to live in Bristol, Ct. and the Victorian homes were just amazing. Streets and streets of them! Each one so unique in its own right -stunning architecture. Many had been converted into multi family dwellings. I loved walking the neighborhoods and imagining living in one of those gems. But the area was economically depressed. Whatever Bristol was back in its hey day the sheen had worn off. I loved the history of the area but always felt a little sad that it was no longer the thriving place it used to be. That’s how I see this home. The area surrounding it looks run down,he even mentioned increasing crime rates. This house is worn and tired. It could be restored but I wonder if the city it is in can be restored too.
what a beautiful house...the rugs were really beautiful & still looked in excellent condition...but my most favorite part is the "Chinese" room...so ornate!!! thank you for the tour!!!
Back in the day, that would have been an indoor laundry room for a wringer washing machine. The drain hose would hook onto the side of the machine, and when drained for the rinse cycle the water would be drained out into that drain hole..quite fancy
Oh man, I'd give my right arm to be able to buy, clean and restore this mansion...as long as all the furniture was included! This is my kind of house. So incredibly beautiful.
be careful what you propose in the future👍
No doubt!!!
Mine too Cheryl, I would die for a home like that.
Me too guys… maybe in my next life 🤷🏻♀️ the home has a sadness feeling to it like the original owner/builder is so sad about how it looks and the neighborhood now 😢
Me too I wonder where it's located 🤔.
Hey Big Bankz, please contact our Restoration Nation, give them a heads up about this place, maybe they can save this beauty. I hope you got the bird out, Thanks for sharing. Love from N.Y.
It is absolutely stunning! I am from South Carolina and familiar with the family story. I would like to pass some history on to you. The furniture is exquisite. I know where this house is located but it is very common in South Carolina for some of the plantation homes in around the State Capital to be used a very nice offices of prominent lawyers, politicians basically the upper crust in business professionals as the leases are extremely expensive and they are all near the legal and judicial buildings for the state. It is a lovely video. I love this time period for many reasons, the elegance, class, work, quality and lifestyle that was led. I am partial to my air conditioning and I know life was not easy during that era but I still find the obstacles and grace that they managed to live through these things is absolutely amazing and humbling.

See my comment in the main comment area. I provided some history on the house.
What a beautiful place! I’m shocked the furniture hasn’t been stolen though.
Those people don’t have the intelligence to go for that kind of thing..
This is seriously the most beautiful house I have ever seen. And I’ve watched many of your videos. It’s just so elegant and the natural lighting. The stained glass windows?! The claw foot tub? The fire places?!
I really like Victorian Houses. They look like doll houses. So beautiful! Can't wait to see inside this one.
That record player is an early 1900's Edison Chippendale Diamond Disk Phonograph. So it's likely been there since the house was built.

It is on the historical register. You can see the historical marker sign on the sidewalk in the exterior long shots.
Wow! Awesome thank you for the tour. I could have watched you show that house for hours.
This mansion look amazing , it's so sad that this amazing house become abandoned
I always think if anyone of this family is alive why they didn't come to receive this ??
Hope someone save this place
Because it costs a lot of money to maintain and many people don't want to deal with it.
@@Jenn_80 they have a lot of millionar friends , if they buy this for themselves on the time they leave that mansion !!!!
What an awesome find. Love old Victorian style of houses. Just beautiful. It's just sad for an old lady to be abandoned.
Wow beautiful old Victorian house. Absolutely gorgeous.

Hi. Beautiful home. The bent sofas were not therapist couches, but were called "fainting couches." They were quite popular in the Victorian Era.
What a beautiful home with quality craftsmanship & detail. Imagine that, 10k for that house way back when.
Beautiful, well built home, so sad to see it going unoccupied. So sad to have it in a high crime area. Thanks for a great tour.
This house is totally liveable and the wooden floors looked stunning I could move in tomorrow

That record player is an early 1900's Edison Chippendale Diamond Disk Phonograph.
@cassiereroni yep I knew that. It was likely produced in 1919-1922. I own several.
Judging from the ID plate, I think it's a C-250. Wonder if there were any good records in the cabinet...
What a awesome place. Thank you for taking us!
I would love to be able to do some salvaging in a place like that. Not only the furniture, but the transom doors/windows, the pocket doors, stained glass, the books, etcetera.
This is so beautiful I can feel the history ❤ Amazing
Hi BigBankz 🙋🏽. I'm late again but I'm going to watch it now ‼️ this is one of the nicest places that you've shown.thank you 🙋🏽
I believe the Asian dining room furniture was inlaid with mother of pearl. Many Victorian homes had this type of furniture.
As for the books, this was a brown hard covered set from Time Life series of the Old West.
Great tour of a stunning Victorian! That is my dream home, so beautiful. The fireplaces! The furniture! All of it 😍Just wow. Funny there was no kitchen?
And only two small bathrooms
Those fireplaces are incredible 😍 one of the best Victorians I have seen so far
I love watching you and Jeremy explore these old houses so interesting to here about the history of them
Yes, caskets. Often, the casket makers had the best wood. My great grandmother's bed she had made after coming from Bavaria still has a partial sticker from the casket maker in her new hometown here.
My Grandparents house was made from an old one room school house, and my grandpa built the rest of the house by himself! So amazing how I love history! That is Gorgeous I love anything Victorian!
The therapist type of couch is called a chaise lounge (shayz lawng). It's been around since ancient Egypt. Picture an ancient Egyptian sitting on one being fanned by their servants. The Greeks and Romans used it for reclining at the table while they ate.
It really became a thing from the 16th century to the late 19th century. Women found it easier and more comfortable to nap on one during the day because of the tight corsets they wore. Sometimes they were cinched so tight they would shift the ribs and organs out of place in the pursuit of beauty with the tiniest of waist. But men enjoyed it as well for reading and napping.
There are a whole host of explanations for the shape of that chair but those are the more popular ones.
I was hoping you guys would have found the door to the attic and turret tower room but amazing house I hope some one takes it and gives it love and enjoys living in it some day
I’m not sure if I could picture myself living in a Victorian home but I absolutely love them and the design elements of them. Great job on this video! I’m pretty sure the upstairs alone is bigger than the whole state of Rhode Island🚩
Thanks for sharing another amazing video. If this house was here in my town there wouldn't be nothing left, even the doors and windows would have been stolen by the homeless.
very beautiful house, love those old houses and what a shame it's just sitting there abandoned, thank you for sharing
The room with all of the outlets and a drain on the floor was a sauna ,,at one time the house had to be used for entertaining ,,parties and get together,s ,,and ohh my the old claw foot bath tub ,, don't you just Love It ,,what an awesome house
This has been well maintained. So beautiful. Such a shame it's sitting unused. I'd just dream of something like this.
Thank you so much yes i enjoyed this explore with you:) all around Beauty . wow so big . Awseome intro BB .Keep living the dream:) lookin for the next explore:)
The room with the drain in the floor and many electrical outlets possibly could have been a beauty salon. House is beautiful.
My grandfathers Victorian home had hallways on the second floor that were even larger. They had huge wardrobes that held linens for the bedrooms and bathrooms. There were also beautiful setees along the walls. Pink isn’t just used for bedrooms. In the past it was most used in other rooms. There are many pink rooms in Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. It was a common color for living rooms. It seems to be the United States that has relegated pink to girls rooms.
What a beautiful home and the older furniture really nice I hope someone will save it. That’s why I love the older homes and furniture because it was made the last. Thank you for sharing have a wonderful weekend 😊
The pieces left behind in that home are fabulous, the dresser in the pink bedroom! 💗
How do you get into these kind of places? I live in Pennsylvania and I constantly struggle finding abandoned places to explore. They usually get torn down because of people mistreating those places, or they are heavily secured. All I wanna do is take pictures and make videos like this. How do you do all of this without getting in trouble? Also, have you been to Pennsylvania for abandoned places? If so, where did you go to?
Wow that was some house I was completely mezerized it's such a waste no one lives in it I love how you respect everyones property and your presentation is amazing I really enjoy watching your videos saying hi from Ontario Canada ❤️ stay safe !!
I love this house..I hope somebody gets it and takes care of it,,its my dream home..Thanks for the video
You never went in the basement. That's what makes or breaks a large house. Love seeing foundations and the house's infrastructure. Might give you an idea why it's abandoned.
Yeah. And the attic. Missing the attic is a crime. That's where all the goodies from a century ago are usually stored.
Really looking forward to this one!! Have a great week everyone!!
I absolutely love your videos! They've helped me through the hardest time in my life...thank you for including awesome bible verses and being wholesome! God Bless!
very beautiful pieces that were sadly left behind. sad that house is just sitting there wasting away too. hope the bird found a way out. thanks for sharing
I live right by that house❤❤❤❤
Please tell me where this house is. I suspect it is in south Carolina but that is just a guess. My husband and I would love to restore it ( truly I do not think it needs much restoration but having not been in it I don't know if that is accurate or not ). Sincerely, Lynette Tillman
@@lynettetillman9478 it’s located in Bessemer Alabama
My dream home. Absolutely beautiful ❤
Absolutely gorgeous home and furniture so sad its probably in a bad neighborhood, the craftsmanship in this home is beautiful they don't make houses like this anymore, I would love to own it.
It is a bad neighborhood.
I really hope that someone can buy this place. I love the Victorian furniture. But most of all I loved the woodwork of the rooms. As others have said I wish that I could buy it. What a great deal. The Chinese furniture is pretty cool too.
I love you man.. thanks for shaing and keep this amazing wok coming in thx .. peace
When I started to follow you not to long ago. I find these videos interesting and to see different dwellings. It's just amazing how many places there are abandoned Keep making videos I enjoy them 😊 🙂
I am absolutely in love with this house.
Such a beautiful home! I hope someone saves/restores it. Odd that there's no kitchen.
Kitchen was likely in the basement. Was there a dumb waiter?
The kitchen was actually the room with the drain in the middle of the floor...
Enjoyed that, thanks, from Cambridge, England.
Absolutely stunning every thing in it 😍 ❤️
Drain in the middle of the floor plus outlets could have been a laundry. Really enjoyable explore, I love your steady camera work ...thank you
Looks so clean to be abandoned
What an amazing old house and still in livable condition and in those days houses were built to last with wood floors and carved wood and antique furniture ,,and the style of the house,,wow , don't you just love it
I used to live in Bristol, Ct. and the Victorian homes were just amazing. Streets and streets of them! Each one so unique in its own right -stunning architecture. Many had been converted into multi family dwellings. I loved walking the neighborhoods and imagining living in one of those gems. But the area was economically depressed. Whatever Bristol was back in its hey day the sheen had worn off. I loved the history of the area but always felt a little sad that it was no longer the thriving place it used to be. That’s how I see this home. The area surrounding it looks run down,he even mentioned increasing crime rates. This house is worn and tired. It could be restored but I wonder if the city it is in can be restored too.
Absolutely lovely, I wish it was mine to do with as I pleased!! Thanks ❤️
Your videos are super relaxing ✨
what a beautiful house...the rugs were really beautiful & still looked in excellent condition...but my most favorite part is the "Chinese" room...so ornate!!! thank you for the tour!!!
I just love the stained glass ❤
Love your videos 👍 bigbankz awesome 👌 thanks
I truly love and adore this place!!
That is a real beautiful home and beautiful furniture
Back in the day, that would have been an indoor laundry room for a wringer washing machine. The drain hose would hook onto the side of the machine, and when drained for the rinse cycle the water would be drained out into that drain hole..quite fancy
SO many abandon houses and so many people whith out a home.Everything is beautiful. Thank you for the interesting video.
The lovely white rug with the red flowers. So beautiful ❤
That place looks awesome
This house is beautiful and beautiful woos work in it and it would make a great bed and breakfast too great video.
