Kyle McGran, I wonder what the Titanic would look like today if it did not sink?
Kyle McGran no body owns titanic now the ocean does so yeah
Kyle McGra
Kyle, I used to be able to send a message to a creator, apparently UA-cam took that away as well. Anyway, be careful of Lynnewood, esp at night. They have what look like pitbulls in there. I've seen them occasionally, as I live down the road. Thank you for this magnificent video. From what I understand, everything of value has been removed from the interior. Perhaps you can get permission to video inside. Taxes are $3k/yr for 1 BR condo; you can imagine what they'd be for this. First Church of Korea must be gettings lots of donations from the flock.
Hey Kyle, get a note or some prove of paper document, like find out which estate agent is looking after the property and offer help to film it to market it for sale. Or just tell the estate agent the truth that you have a project on UA-cam to view abandoned home's.
There's nothing wrong with what you doing, so there's nothing wrong getting the permission to film for your project. Interesting 👌
Now that’s a real MANSION. Not a newly built large house with plastic or aluminum siding exterior walls and paper Sheetrock walls inside. This MANSION is built from expensive stones and marble with a true Slate stone roofing. That’s why it’s still standing after 100 years. Great video.
Mart Hyatt :I agree, fantastic.
thats what mansions are, at least in spain
Mart Hyatt love this place . My kind of house .
True
@HenryDavidT wow you are stupid
Security has done a great job. The place would be in shambles if left to trespassers. Somebody is keeping it up? I bet the interior is magnificent! Yes make a Titanic Museum.
I got very involved studying the Titanic. I got very depressed and had to stop. It became an obsession wanting to learn about the families who did and didn’t survive. It was a horrible thing to have happen. What a shame so many people died and others lived with the terrible memories the rest of their life. God bless them all. ❤️🌹❤️
Could be proof of what went on behind the scenes tolose people's lives for nothing,from what's out there people working on the ship say it was the Olympiad,not titanic, because of the crash with a war ship,an on going fire for a week,that's how the ship went down,wanting to get out first,cut corners,workers paid off to say nothing, needed the money,sad.
I have an obsession with the titanic and all the conspiracy theories and what they didn’t do right (I have Asperger’s syndrome) Chernobyl is another one !
So me I will jump in and dig deep the compassion is all most to overwhelming sometimes You most be a empathy spirit which is Wounder ful but you can really effect your peace getting to deep . I know so will God bless your sweet soul .
Who paying for it’s up keep If it’s abandoned
@@mommabearoncrimeandlife6201 many thanks 🙏 from Ben !! 😄
I visited the Widner mansion a number of times in the mid-1950s when it was a seminary. On one visit, I stayed over-night and was put up in the guest room which had been Mr. Widner’s bed room-a fabulous room with floor to ceiling mirrors in elaborate gold frames on opposite walls, reflecting to infinity, giving the impression that you're standing in a room the size of a football field.
Wow! What a story!
😂
More than anything, I appreciate you digging up the history on the owners and sharing it. The history behind the beautiful abandoned homes are one of the most intriguing parts of discovering them. I wish more channels did this.
The history is incorrect: Peter Widener was never an investor or an owner of the titanic
So many abandoned mansions in the world, with so many homeless people in the world.
I think they are still privately owned
Yeah I the homeless would take care it they would trash it more.
I almost homeless I'll move in now
So many homeless and 1 billion dollars donated to rebuild a damn church be mad at that
@@justinschroeder6655 dude they donated their own money so what
Shame they don't turn it into a museum. People would love to go inside, they could make money. Put some items off the titanic inside. Or turn it into a hotel. Anything to do with titanic, people are interested in. Shame to let somewhere as lovely as this stand unloved.
I agree !!
I wanna know how a Korean church has the money for a place like this. I'd rather it be made a historical landmark and make it open to tours
@@jonathanmorgan4264 The so called "poor" always have money for what they want.
@@jonathanmorgan4264 koreans make money and they believe in group economics, their race along corners the market on the hair (weave) industry which is a billion dollar a year industry in the U.S and this is suppose to be the "first korean church"
Wow, some real racism and classism here. Se eral churches have boight majestic old buildings in my town. They got them via tax sale, or were granted them from the town or state for a small nominal fee like fifty dollars, or were given them in an inheritance. The building was probably lying vacant and perhaps, because of historical significance, cant be developed or changed too much by a new owner.
Wow, I never knew that. I used to live like 5 mins away from this place. I always went to the Post Office right across the street from it. Great content! Thank you!
Wish I could’ve been alive and one of the people back in the day to see this place in its prime. It must’ve been so incredibly beautiful
I always think about that!
Right on
If you would like to see how she looked back then, Pinterest and Google have some stunning photos...
None of the pool though, which is my favourite thing to see first!!!
Enjoy 😊
Thanks for putting this video out there. It's making people aware of a beautiful old mansion that needs restoration. All too often in this country (especially in NYC) buildings like that get vandalized beyond repair or demolished. It seems most Americans don't value history or beautiful architecture that with loving care can last for centuries.
As a senior director of design on classical architecture for JWDA Shanghai... the "iron works" of the fence is truly a work of art. So beautiful! ❤️
I used to live about a mile away from this property and everytime I would drive past it I would almost always see a white dog sitting on the front of the mansion steps. I was intrigued by it to where I started doing research. The story was deep. Another fact was that the very back building of the mansion is an indoor swimming pool. The structure wasn't built when the mansion was first built. It was later added. Also on the website I looked at had many pictures of the inside and how the grounds used to look and how it looks now. Im still amazed!!!
That Mansion is absolutely breathtaking!!! Its such a shame to see it in that condition!! I wished that I lived near it well maybe some day the wife and in WILL take a drive to check it out!!!
When ever you cross this mansion, you don’t feel something weird ??? 🤣
Here’s something I read about it. temple-news.com/holleran-lynnewood/
Where is the owner's children or grandchildren??? Y were they just abandoned like this??
@@eunice723 The family line might have died on the Titanic. Not sure if they had any other children...
This reminds me of what Christ said . Store up your riches in heavon where thieves and moths won't corrupte it.
HE is right, we only possess things for a short time.
Alton Rowell God made it like that purposely....
christ had some great one liners
I hope you don't mind my input because I respect your outlook. My belief is that God has mercy, its the people who don't. It's easy to blame God and not ourselves for the way earth is.
We do only possess things for a short period of time
Ah but to possess this and restore it, mucho pasion, Mi pasión, Grande Pasion.
Rather than sneak in at night, why not, at least, try contacting the church that owns it? If you indicate that A) you want to video-document the interior, then combine that with what you have already done to form a full video view of the home. B) show previous work illustrating harmless intent and C) remind them that such a publicly available video might be an aid in finding a buyer that might otherwise not even know of the home, then, perhaps, they might agree to grant access accompanied by one of their staff monitoring the visit. Better that way as there is no danger of being discovered and charged with trespassing.
If you do contact the Church to ask for access,don't forget to invite them or their representatives to accompany you as you do your filming,to assure that nothing is damaged or tampered with. Even though that would be assumed anyway,mentioning it shows your respect for their concerns.
It would be worthwhile,if you get your Documentary done,to market it to the TV networks or at least Public TV-they LOVE this kind of stuff.
Or the realtor that is trying to sell it
This!!!
That’s a very good idea actually
Amadeo Serrano: Positively outstanding suggestions! Great project!
wish we could have gotten a look inside
I've seen pictures of the interior....just a few. Go to Google Images of Lynnewood Mansion. It's incredible.
Wait! I see there's a video here on YT that shows inside! Let's try that!
Thank you for saving me from watching this whole video 😊😊
I know. I would have liked to see inside too
I was thinking the same thing
My Dad was a student here in late 1950s, early 1960s when it was Faith Theological Seminary. I lived around the corner from there on Heather Rd. Some of the posted videos show the interior and it is sad the place is as run down as it is. I remember it when it was in its glory and beautiful. Some of the other UA-camrs got permission from a grounds keeper that apparently lives there.
Maybe you could ask someone if you could do a documentary video of this place. This place was amazing and I loved the history that you shared on this place. Thanks.
Good Idea Celeste.
I would absolutely love to see the inside of this place, what amazing history..
I agree. Maybe someone would be open to allowing a detailed documentary-style piece on the property. It could only serve to increase it's sales potential.
Can I just point out that although Widener was an investor in the building of the Titanic, he was not the owner. The Titanic was owned by the British Shipping company White Star Line. Unfortunately, due to American made films like Titanic made in 1997, people seem to believe that the Titanic was mostly or exclusively an American tragedy, which belittles the vast loss made by the British who actually made up the majority of the passengers and almost all of the crew.
I've never thought of it as "an American tragedy".That being said....the people on board were on their way to America....and many Americans were on board. American's are also the ones who found her. Not sure why "being an American tragedy" would belittle anything. A tragedy is a tragedy.
Matt A tell your bbc to start producing their own movies or stop moaning about Americans
Shut up idiot ...Smh
Matt A And part of it was build in Ireland 😊
J.P Morgan and a few other corrupt bankers were also behind the built of Titanic. Some even alleged that they had something to do with the sinking as warnings were put off to the side when wired (called) through.
My Maiden name is Widener. I am the great niece of George Widener. This just makes me ill to watch. The house was sold by a relative of the Elkins family. The church that bought it has allowed it to fall into complete ruins!! I would love nothing better to be able to own this family home, but it is tied up in court. I highly suggest you only go where you are able to, unless getting prior authorization to entry. To go in would be an act of breaking and entering and would land you in jail. It is so sad to see this in this shape. Please be respectful to the family that has gone through a very tough time.
Bettie Russo I
Bettie Russo: Like so many who are interested in great American buildings, I've watched for years as your family's magnificent house has been neglected by its current owners. However, it is still (mostly) intact, and that is better than the fate of so many grand houses, both here and in England. I hope the legal morass can conclude soon, and maybe a more committed owner will step in and renew it. I don't have your personal familial connection to it, so It is still for me a great thing to see, in spite of its condition.
Bettie Russo I’m sorry for all your losses. Watching something that meant so much to you decay away, is heartbreaking.
Again, I’m sorry for your pain. 😿💐
Adelina Johnsson They didn’t build it, they were only investors. Things like this happen, only to rebuild and make things better and stronger. But, I agree, your comment had nothing to do with what was posted.
i think you are full of shit.
The drone shots r awesome really. Its a palace in need of restoration. I hope it gets back to its former glory. Such a fine piece of architecture.
It’s for sale for $15,000,000 and apparently a new tax bill for historic properties in Philadelphia limits the property taxes so it would actually only be a maximum of $54,000 per year. It isn’t abandoned but rather owned by the “First Korean Baptist Church of New York”. They couldn’t get the permits in order to convert the property to a church and so put it back on the market. It is in relatively good condition outside, is structurally sound, and only a few of the rooms inside are in bad condition. The servanrs corridor, quarters are in disrepair but the main rooms, save the dinning room or smoking room, are in fine condition. As are the bedrooms. The indoor pool is fine as well but needs a good cleaning.
If I win the lottery I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Restoration costs are estimated at $5,000,000 to restore the interior and the grounds. So quite the bargain in all actuality.
Same. I love historic homes.
LaBartoliLover how do you know what it looks like on the inside and such?
I would also buy this property and restore it to its former glory if I ever won the lottery. I love everything about the Titanic, even though the house technically has nothing to do with the Titanic except the fact that the original owner owned part of the ship, but that’s still fascinating to me!!
Winefred213 There are other videos taken inside
Daniel Smlth how do you find the videos of the inside? I would love to see them!!
My grandmother lived in West Oak Lane in Philly (now a war zone) about a mile from this. We drove past it for years never actually seeing the building or knowing what the property was. I truly hope someone buys it and restores it. Even as new use like hotel/convention center--it would be great to see it preserved.
Neecy Carlton
You really assumed racism, didn't you.
Nolan Milnes Your the one who called my nieghborhoods a war zone, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Crime is actually way down in WOL. When crimes does take place it's petty crimes. So yeah I do go racial because that's where you went, but you're just trying to deflect from that.
+Neecy Carlton. No he didn't call your neighborhood a warzone that was MrTrashcan1 who said that.
+Nikolas Ransom oh. ok my bad.
I know what you mean when they move in they destroy everything then move to the other side and rotate around leaving get to behind,,,,,,I seen a whole big city destroyed but they can keep it cause now they go to prison here they can keep killing each other it on the news every day,,,,
Damn what a beautiful structure, I’m certain that this place would definitely be successful as a wedding venue
Like they could have it as the reception and hotel so no one has to go driving other than to this one place. It’s be convenient and booked up with appointments for many people
This is really ridiculous that this place is just left to rot.... what a shame😉✌🏼👍👍
Who looks after it, it seems like it has care takers otherwise the gardens would of been like a jungle.
Really tragic what is happening to this magnificent home. The problem is with 110 rooms no can afford to live here and maintain it as a residence. It's got to made into a hotel or condos but again given it's size just maintenance alone would cost big bucks. Such a shame.
Please don't break in. Leave it be.
I would not trespass however you might try contacting the realtor or owner to see if they would let you promote the sale by doing a video of the place with all the interesting historical info.
+Zona Lenhart that's a good idea I'm gonna try that!😊
Zona Lenhart This is the best idea! Everyone would win... *and* we could see the inside with you! Kyle, there's a LoT of UA-cams out there, but you've made an extremely intriguing video here! I'm going to subscribe and see what you're up to next 🏰
Zona Lenhart everyone loves you!
Ricky Bennett there is a couple on UA-cam who has video of the inside of Lynnewood Hall they also explore abandoned buildings
Not likely to happen
Peter A. B. Widener did not die on the Titanic, but died here at the mansion in 1915, at the age of 80. His son, George Widener and his grandson Harry Widener did die on the Titanic.
Wow, you would have thought their clout would have gotten them saved. I would love to hear more of that story.
Ron Shaw 😞
Karen Kramer, I know about the Widener story. Here it is, and sorry about how long my comment is, but I promise that if you are patient with me, you won’t be disappointed.
Old Peter Widener was a banker and made the family fortune originally in trolley cars in Philadelphia. In 1912, I believe Widener’s fortune was the largest in the Pennsylvania state. Widener was good friends with banker J.P. Morgan, who set up a trust company called the International Mercantile Marine (or I.M.M.), and this company’s main goal was to merge the big shipping lines together in order to form a kind of monopoly called a “Morganization,” basically get the companies to cooperate with each other and keep prices high so they would profit from running the business. Too much competition was good for the consumer but bad for the businessmen, and they were frequently at war. Especially the two British lines, White Star (Titanic’s owners; run by J. Bruce Ismay) and Cunard Line (which owned the Lusitania and later built the Queen Mary). Morgan and Widener wanted these companies to settle their differences and operate as members of their American monopoly. White Star agreed and sold themselves to I.M.M. while Cunard refused and eventually got British government funds. Peter Widener owned the bank that loaned money to I.M.M. used to then purchase White Star. This made Widener in a sense, even more Titanic’s owner than Ismay or Morgan were. Ismay stayed on White Star to operate it and eventually came to be chairman of the board in Morgan’s company as well.
Elderly Peter Widener had a son and heir named George, middle-aged, who sailed on Titanic’s maiden voyage along with his wife Eleanor and their son Harry. I don’t know too much about George Widener but I know he would’ve become head of his father’s wealth if he had survived. He held a private party in the ship’s “à la carte” restaurant, in honor of Captain Smith, who was planning to retire after bringing Titanic safely back to England. Smith was at the party for a short time, but several survivors who attended the dinner reported that Smith drank no alcohol and was anxious to return to the ship’s bridge to see how his officers were doing, looking out for ice that had been reported in the area.
George’s wife Eleanor was a middle-aged socialite and had a string of genuine pearls in her possession, and this is partly the basis for the Heart of the Ocean diamond from the James Cameron movie.
George’s son Harry, in his late twenties or early thirties, was a Harvard University graduate and avid book collector and had a precious second edition of Francis Bacon’s essays with him on Titanic. He was hoping to add it to his private collection at home in Pennsylvania.
Traveling with the Widener’s was George’s manservant/valet Edward Keeping and Eleanor’s ladies-maid Miss Amelie Gieger, originally from Germany. Both were in their thirties, same as young Harry.
After Titanic struck the iceberg, Eleanor and Miss Gieger were able to get seats in a lifeboat, but George and Harry and Edward Keeping were men and remained with the ship and died. Eleanor’s pearls and Harry’s book were also lost in the sinking.
When elderly Peter Widener heard of his son and grandson’s death, he was naturally grieved and upset. Furthermore, his grief turned to anger when he heard that White Star chairman Bruce Ismay had managed to survive by claiming an empty seat in one of the very last lifeboats to let men passengers in with the women. According to one story, Peter said “If George and Harry are really gone, Ismay’s got a lot of explaining to do.” I must say in Ismay’s defense, however, that the movie paints him to be a terrible human being but the truth is much more complex than that. Ismay became a convenient scape-goat.
Afterwards Peter and his daughter-in-law Eleanor heard a rumor circulated in the newspapers that the body of either George or Harry had been found by a Canadian ship a few days after the sinking. How saddened they were to find out this wasn’t so, but the body actually was identified as George Widener’s valet Edward Keeping, and he had been carrying one of George’s personal possessions which is how the confusion started.
Anyways, old Peter Widener died in 1915, the same year that Eleanor made a generous donation to Harvard to build a massive new library, which was named in her son Harry’s honor. The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library is still part of Harvard’s campus to this day. Eleanor Widener eventually remarried to an archaeologist, Dr. Alexander Rice, and died in 1937. I wish I knew what happened to the maid Miss Amelie Gieger, but I do not. Eventually the Widener family lost their money, and the mansions of both Peter and George were sold.
You can find a lot of this material on the Internet in pieces, especially Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Titanica. As far as I have been able to ascertain, every word of it is true.
@@brianbommarito3376
I remember reading that Mrs. Widener, as the rescue ship was leaving the domed Titanic, saw one of the officers shoot himself in the head, and then she saw the captain leap into the water.
@brian Wow ! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing
Wikipedia reference:
Peter A. B. Widener was never an investor in the Titanic, he was a board member of International Mercantile Marine Company, owner of the White Star Line, with J.P. Morgan.[18]
The drone shots were bomb. That place is like the White House times four. The thing to do would be to contact the seminary and say you wanted to be a priest. Good vid, great music.
Testament to the fact that everything we have is for "our" convenience and once whence we depart we leave it all behind. Nothing lasts forever.
Mathers Davis I said that also,,, Nothing in the material realm goes with us! Even theses materialized bodies.
BEAUTIFULLY SAID MY FRIEND ✌♥️🙏
Well said.
This should be renovated and turned into a museum.
Is that the same man that the WIDENER UNIVERSITY IS NAMED FOR?
Too far from civilization. Only resort would work...
Yes, but it didn't become Widener till 72'. It was Philadelphia Military College. It was the grandson who donated a lot who asked for change.
This big old houses are money pits. There's a family here that built three different castles over the years, and even though the family are still quite wealthy, the grandson had to sell his castle because he was speeding over 100K in property taxes and heating & cooling was costing over $200.00 a day. He didn't want to to piss away any more of the family money so he sold it ad moved into a small home the family owned. I can't even imagine what the taxes run for a place like this.
@@stanleywheeler404 more or less, yes.
What a great building, its design ,gates and walls .all absolutely beautiful. However, it is so sad that its occupants are not lucky to share this building and just disappeared so that their days were cut short ..Amazing .thanks young man for this video
I drive by this beauty everyday when I'm going to work i always think damn i wish i could see the inside and people living in one of those small houses maybe Security
Cool! I assume you knew it was from a passenger of Titanic?
From what I've read in several different sources, their are security guards living in the guest house or possible both of them which is why there are no broken windows, vandalism or graffiti. They apparently are doing their job well.
alphaone101 what, I saw vandalism in one of the bathrooms in another video of that house
Lucky u!
What’s State?
This place is far from "immaculate" inside, from what I've read. As you can see in your drone footage the roof is in terrible condition and has been for some time, allowing rain and melting snow to pour into the inside of the Mansion destroying the ceilings, walls, paintings, carpets, statues and etc. I've also read that a lot of the valuable wood trim, floors, staircases and etc. have been sold and removed from the mansion. The article I read stated that the mansion is on the verge of not being able to be rescued and restored. I also read that a guard or guards live in one or more of the guest homes and make sure no one enters onto the property. Another great historical building being left to fall into oblivion.........gone forever. White Hall another great mansion built by the same builder who built this one met the same fate and it was just as amazing, if not more amazing than this one.
Shame on the owners for letting it fall into ruin. Places of historical significance need to be looked after. What is that church doing holding onto this building when it’s doing nothing to restore it?
This is fascinating to me thank you for posting this. My great grandfather was Wallace Henry Hartley the head bandsman on the titanic. The Hartley family went on to create Hartley jam by William pickles Hartley . My daughter was born on 15th April at the time the titanic sunk .
White star should have NEVER sent a bill for their uniforms to the family's !.
You and your daughter are both pretty damn old
@@Wayne_155 comprehension is important. He said his daughter was born april 15th, at the same time as the sinking, not the same year
They couldn't take it with them!!!
"Layup for yourselves treasure in heaven where moths and rust doeth not corrupt"
It's all vanity in the end, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
How true.
Yes you are absolutely right Amen to the glory of God Matt 6:19-20
It breaks my heart that such a beautiful house is deserted
Yep. Houses need people in them....
Its shame to see such a beautiful building and historic go to waste.
It really is😔
Is it just me on here who think this place looks like the white house??? If anyone else think so too give this comment a big like""👍🏿
Just because a building has colums dose not make it look like the White House. Colums actually predate the White House by several thousands of years. Check out ancient Greece for example. The Romans copied the ancient Greeks is many ways.
It's is larger too.
I, too, thought that
I thought that
Same style of architecture?
Thanks for taking us here🌷.
Love to see the inside of this mansion..great video!👍👍❤
That's why prices are so high to board a ship, plane and everything else to pay for the investor's huge mansions.
For anyone curious google this house and look under images they have a few pics of how the house looks on the inside not sure how recent pics are but it's very beautiful n fancy
thanks for the tip. I wished Kyle had flown the drone in close to the building and try get some shots of what it looked like inside. There is no way that place has art masterpeices still hanging on the walls worth millions that that clip from the local paper claimed. Maybe back in early 1900s.

Kassondra Rasnic err it's illegal to trespass dude
Great video I can't believe it's abandoned. I would love to see the inside. I'm so sorry for all the people that lost their lives in a horrible way. It probably would have sank anyway but when he said even God can't sink it was not the best thing to say. My opinion only
It's sad how they let these extoric places be abandoned and go to waste and rot its a poor person dream
I would love to have it I'm poor but I would sure make it look nice
I would've made it an expensive boarding school and i would live in one of the guest house, and open it to the public on certain days, and events and even let hollywood film in it..with ppl being able to win 300 mil on the lottery, the price to buy it and restore it would be nothing, and we have billionaires in this country
Yulnever carry it with yu toiling inthe sun fo nothing the graves arether yu l be greeted by twilight zones
@Ed Miller😂😂 think she meant 'historic' 😂
Right..
Omg I’ve driven past this mansion numerous times and always wondered who had owned it. Been curious since I was a little girl. My mind is blown right now.
As long as you don't touch anything . I would definitely recommend going back. Take pictures. Love things like this, hate it when people DESTROY history.
Love to know what it looks like inside.
Pamela Racki But the good thing about this place being blocked off like this is that it’s most likely being very well preserved.
It's on the market for awhile now, Zillow has it listed for $11 million.
john g Do you have the link?
How much land with it?
Is that all $11 million is not much
Hello u said how much house cost ?
@@michelleaugust9958 Just download the zillow app
It saddens me to think these buildings and others like it are left to rot, knowing there are so many homeless people. If i had the money i would turn places like this into rooms for sick or elderly homeless people.
angela lee I am sure you have room and money to let one homeless person live with you.
And who is going to provide financial support for a building like that for homeless people? Are you just going to open the doors and let random people live in the building with no utilities or maintenance and upkeep? Believe It or Not, There are reasons that people become homeless. It doesn't just happen overnight and without opportunities to do something about it
that's because you are pretty brainless. Let me guess when you see someone throw a sandwich you think "oh, gee that's so sad. There are hungry people"...Is your brain made of mash potatoes?
His ship was unsinkable and his house well...."unabandonable"🤣
henry Widener wasnt Titanic's owner, JP Morgan was.
Hugo S JP Morgan wasn’t the owner of the Titanic either, Bruce Ismay was.
@@karaswindle6343 No, he wasn't. Ismay was head of White Star Line, but WSL was one of many shipping lines owned by the conglomerate International Mercantile Marine, which belonged to JP Morgan
The grounds keeper does not like un-welcomed guest, and yes he has dogs, good thing you didn't jump that fence. Place is for sale for $17 million currently.
EliteKicks856 Wow, I was expecting much more
Could be "Money pit 2" movie.
I NEED 10 MILLIONS.
AND I WILL LET ALL MY FAMILY STAYED IN MY MANSION.
BUT THEY WILL NEED TO KEEP IT NICE AND NEAT.

Well done bro. killer location, too bad you could not get into that place, but stay safe stay legal, cause you cant make youtube videos from jail. New subscriber. Keep up the good work.
+rj32 will do! Thank you!
Actually ,depending on the state, he could go inside, have utilities turned on in his name and fix the place up, equaling to him owning the place after starting in it for 7 years (depending on the state). It's called squatters law
actually not, the property is occupied so he would face charges for trespassing, and believe me when I say this, people have been arrested for trespassing on this property
rj32 I
rj32 He was a business partner of JP Morgan and JP was a general for the Rothschild.
In early 1905 the Rothschild wanted to open reserve bank but two of the most wealthiest objected and it caused problems for the Rothschild.
JP Morgan invited both of the families on the TITANIC only to pull out last min for business reason .
Titanic was sanked by the Rothschild to get rid of hand full of people who stood in Rothschilds way.
This family was one of those who objected.
This was recently published in Australian news .
That mansion look like white House
It's probably bigger... Just had a look at another video of the inside, amazing. A bit dilapidated but in the heyday it must have been on par with the Newport mansions like The Breakers.
Aye_itz_eli , that's what I said too... in fact... I'm not sure which one is bigger!?!?
Well guess what?! It is a white house.
zapfanzapfan where did you find a video of the inside?
true
Wow this place is the craziest abandoned place I’ve ever seen!! How can someone let this rot away?? It’s a classic time piece with rich history. Such a shame it’s not being used!
Just out of college, I lived there in 1979 for 3 months... top floor, very small servants room... It was in very good shape.. marble grand entrance, dark wood walls, and other details you would see in a building like this.... I remember the white rocks out front, an indoor swimming pool in the back and lots of marble stairs .... That's it!
R Sudds wait.. in s guest house there..?
• Izumi • lol he said 1979 not 1879 !
• Izumi • that was only 39 years ago...
• Izumi • then delete your dumbass comment
• Izumi • your inability to read and do basic math is the reason people are coming at you. take the L and have a seat
Call the realtor & make an appointment to tour it & put on a suit & go! Great video!
Molly Quinn the video says it's owned by a Korean church. He'd have to get their permission...not a Realtor
Katy B I thought it said it's for sale in the printing.
It's on the market for 16 million as of June 2017! It's for sale right now!
You do know you must qualify to "tour" this pricey of an estate. Agents are not museum guides. I have a property for sale and no one gets an appointment with out proof of funds. The car you arrive in, purse you carry or a suit and tie aren't enough to cut it. Most qualified buyers don't need to dress to impress. The art of deal is in play if you want a great price you don't arrive dripping in it.
Pretend to be a potential buyer !
No. Don't go back at night there... Arrange for a tour.... would be best and more informative
Beverly Balius shut up
Interesting paintings are just like Titanic art works.Classic putties , angels.The wife could live well on the art.
Love the drone shots!! If I had a spare $16 million, I would totally buy it
I love it and for the first ever I would love to win one of those 1/2 billion dollar lottery and purchase it and make it a home for special children who are kicked out of their homes by their parents
Samanthao49 That is a very sweet thought to say. The world needs more folks like you in it. That would make it alot more beautiful.
That's noble, but goofy. A place like this should be made into a boutique hotel or an art museum.
I was thinking the same thing, buy it and turn it into something of use.. Helping people it has plenty of space, now if I just had the money!
Gleep Wurp ......Art Museum, great idea! It could be nonprofit. It would take a HUGE endowment to get it off ground! Call Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk!😁
Samanthao49 - you most youuuq'hbgh' hut c I q
Do rich people REALLY need all that space in a house??
Michele, Yes back in the day. People would have grand parties and people would stay there. Remember the ball room holds 1000 guests.
No they did not "need" it.
They wanted to show off the fact they could had it build, for fickle reasons actually.
Hans2406: Look at era that these homes were built. Prior to our modern birth control, if couples got along they had between 8-15 children based on their fertility. At this level, they usually had a governess and likely 25 or so servants. They all needed a place to live. In addition, often there were rooms needed for guests and family that would often live with the family. Also, this was a time due to etiquette one could not boast about their success, so it was shown by the homes they lived in and how they entertained.
Hell yes. If I had fuck tons of incoming liquid cash I would live in a place like this. Why not ?
Michele Eastman
I have actually seen the Titanic memorial in the Halifax cemetery whilst visiting in-laws graves. I also read books on it *years* before the DiCaprio film. Being part Irish, it is of great interest to me.☘️🇮🇪
It is a great shame to see such a beautiful building in such a dilapidated state, it would probably be depressed if it could show feelings! It's an even greater shame that it stays empty and not put to some good use.
But equally as sad, if not heartbreaking, is the man who lived here died from a painful illness. Which was probably nothing compared to the pain of his losing his oldest son & his grandson. Via Titanic or otherwise, loss of a child and/or grandchild is the greatest pain we could live through.
This just shows that even living in a huge beautiful mansion & having gobs of money cannot protect ANYone from the most painful losses in life.😟 Rest in peace, gentlemen, all 3 of you.🌹🇨🇦
i live within a mile of this mansion & just learned about it this year. so cool!
Jas C break inside and give us a tour😂
I don't think it matters that sometimes you cannot gain access to the inside, what you showed of the outside and the drone shots coupled with the information and history are excellent. Thank you.
❤️❤️
The history is wrong on this. Peter Widener was never an owner or investor in the Titanic.
*Wow, i really want to buy that! Shame that it’s just standing there empty.*
Joachim Petersson buy me a house..lol
In Pennsylvsnia, you'll be taxed to death. Pennsylvsnia is known as the land of taxes.
Well it costs you about 18 million dollars and that is without the renovation costs. The property price keeps going down, but the renovation price will keep rising. For a full restoration you are sure to be spending several millions to restore the house to a livable state and if you want to fully restore the house you are sure to be spending even more.
KingofAwesome
If someone can afford 16 million then surely renovation cost is pennies to them.
I quite frankly can't identify with anyone wanting to live in such an enormous place. Seems like it would be a very lonely place until/ unless you threw huge parties. The mansion reminds me of an airplane.
Joachim Petersson i
Yo thanks for pulling up in my stream fam really appreciate that no cap 🙏🏾‼️ your Golden
Honestly just make it a museum
SBF HAWK that’s a great idea, hopefully it can happen. I don’t think anyone would ever buy this to actually live in it
I agree 110% it needs to be a museum. It's so beautiful.
The land isn't zoned for commercial
Nice work brother!!! stay on the right side of those signs tho lol
If the mansion is guarded with human security guards around the clock 24/7 there is an excellent chance the guards could be armed with guns. Especially if the mansion is considered a historical landmark. Sometimes guards get scared too especially at night if they hear noise or see something unusual. Many guards would shoot first and ask questions later. No mansion interior viewing in my opinion is worth dying for. Please don't sneak in. Try to get permission for the owners to go inside.
I hope someone buys this place and takes care of it. It’s so nice
Great video. I love those facts on screen. That animation is done very well. Haven't seen it anywhere else. I just randomly clicked into this video and I'm definitely staying here now.
Thanks bro glad you enjoyed!
I agree 100%. Good job. Like subscribe comment. I'll be watching this channel regularly
Same here. Totally random click, but loved the drone shots and facts. I'm subscribing!
Who are the current owners?
@@thomasjonesjr6282 it was recently sold, but was owned by the Korean Church of NY
WOW! If I would only hit the lottery, I'd buy it, restore it and sell tickets to the community to visit. Thanks for sharing. The drone shot is amazing!
I've been in that place with another Explorer wow 😳! Long X ago, year's actually and the inside doesn't disappoint it's breathtaking beautiful. Thank You for the video love your channel, Abandoned ? Well idk for sure I wouldn't think so. Someones taking care of it, but than again like I said it was YEAR'S BACK. Watch yourself going in, JAIL X suxs.
Would love to see it as a museum home to titanic artifacts.
Looks like a great fixer upper!
This Mansion will rot to the core if it doesn't have the warmth tender touch of loving and caring person. Why are they going to let such a beautiful place decay.
Rosa Colon Because it costs a lot of money. You have to find a very wealthy person who is interested in taking care of it. Most of them probably want a new house without the problems of an old house.
I wouldn’t feel at home at a mansion. Too big! I feel cozy in a smaller environment 🤗. Looks more like a cemetery 😱
Such a sad sad story. It's eerie to think about the pain and suffering this man endured. He died 2 or 3 years later, probably from the crushing loss of his family members plus the realization of so many other souls dying on his ship. How does a man live with that? This is the remnant of his life on earth. But where is he in eternity? That is the haunting question. All the money in the world, does not buy us power over life and death. Thank you for the video which inspired thoughts beyond what we see here. All of us, must one day, leave it all behind. We cannot take it with us. And stand before our Creator, and give an account of our lives, and then our spirit be either sentenced or rewarded. As it was with them, none of us knows the day or the hour, or how it will happen. Our only hope, is to be ready. We can only be ready, through God Almighty, who came here to earth in the form of Jesus Christ. Make no mistake, He is our only ticket through the pearly gates. He paid the price for your ticket with his blood on the cross. If you want to live in the greatest mansions in the universe, on streets of gold, there is only one way to get there. Jesus. He's the only ticket for this voyage. There will be no other lifeboats. God speed, and Bon Voyage.
Merry M. And he lived to be 80. We carry the burden of what comes from being in disalignment with our creator. I agree.
Lol, people from that age didn't pay taxes didn't pay people Fair wages if any at allbelieved in child labor you think he actually cares besides what happened to his immediate family?
I bet security is even tighter at night buddy and there is most def an active alarm system on the buildings n main house so idk if I'd take the chance. Wish you could get permission to tour the place. What a great find.
Working on that right now!
cigarmandallas ..best advice!💛
cigarmandallas ...
Especially considering there is much antic treasure inside...
How do you imagine to just go in ?? You need to ask approval...can not believe your mindset...
Ask the city mayor ,maybe they sow filming it, but it is owned by someone ??
cigarmandallas rnk all day got inside
wow what a crazy video man and even crazier story behind the place! love it!!!
OMG HELLO 🤗
Have to learn more descriptive words
.besides crazy
Beautiful place. Great story. Thanks for the video & info.
Omg it's amazing. Such a shame it's been abandoned . It's unbelievably beautiful.
Wow. Huge mansion. Must have been quite the social scene. Then tragedy.
Why didn't it stay in the family? How was it allowed to be bought by a church who clearly has no interest in preserving American history??? Wish it was preserved and open for private tours. That would've been amazing.
Ivon American? You know the titanic was built in England and owned by a English British shipping company?
Here's the history: www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/widener-family.html
Zoey PonyWatsonxx Talking about the house, dude.
Kazimir 3316 House is in America, but the people who owned it wasn't nor the titanic itself. Sorry for the mix up and not a dude but thanks anyway
Could no longer afford the upkeep on top of the other homes they owned that were just as large. Plus, Whitemarsh Hall was their pride and joy (no longer standing). After Mr. Stotesbury died his widow moved to California where they had an estate called El Marisol (also no longer standing). Not sure about any of today's descendants, but I'd imagine they either can't afford to buy and fix it up or just didn't want to be burdened with the place. It's the last of their houses that still exists today.
Wouldn’t want to clean it!
Seriously😂
Kyle McGran yes!!!!! I wouldn’t!! Or pay the electricity bill. Lol it should be cleaned up and made a museum my the state that the house is in. 😃👍
Lindsey Johnson at least there’s only 55 beds to make!!! It takes me ages to do just 1!!!
Me either. Way to much to even try and clean. Would take a year to ckean it all for one person.. 😲😲
@@lindseyjohnson217 it has its own power plant, no electric bill.
THAT SHOULD BE A MUSEUM.
IS TOOOO BEAUTIFUL, THESE ANCIENT GUYS HAVE A GOOD EYE FOR WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE.
THE IVORY MANSION IS MAGESTIC AND BELLISSIMA!!!
AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Instead of renovating, there is an even older manor house in England that they called “arresting the decay”. Sealing up the roof, windows, etc. stops decay.
If you look up, Calke Abbey National trust. Lynwood, is perfect for that. I don’t understand with all the disgustingly rich in this country worth billions, you’d think they would have just a little responsibility to help save our history. England has a national trust, The US should have similar.
yettobseen lynnewood Hall is one of my favorite mansion and since it is for sale I hope someone buys it and keeps it as a mansion
comfortableman12 You have to know it to understand it.
THAT was AWESOME , great shots love the content , amazing I never even knew it existed, thanks Kyle, really cool.
I'd be happy with one of the guest houses, the fence completely around all the surrounding property and I'd love to have the land.
That mansion is probably so damn haunted that even the ghosts got ghosted and left 👻👻
Thankyou Kyle this is the most beautiful Mansion ever show on You Tube what a waste of a magnificent and amazing place - it’s furnitures and hand woven silk drapes from Persia nothing but the very best inside this Mansion sign of Power and Wealth , thanks for sharing . ❤️🇦🇺
You should see the Baltimore palace
BEAUTIFUL! SO BEAUTIFUL PLACE
I was looking for a mansion with at least 120 rooms. So no thanks.
Lol.... good one;)
There’s one in heaven with luxurious vehicles parked in a 10 car garage for you .... oh and the employees are waiting for your arrival too
@@lifeofcoby uhm
Amazed they aren’t bought up and investors or builders turn them into apartments. These places make beautiful apartments once renovated. Such a waste that they stand empty and go to waste. Thousands of these empty mansions across the world just rotting and going to waste.
Nice work mate,but i bet within 10min of entering the property you will get busted.Stay safe cheers.
john vat I
Looks like the White House! 😨
Mark and Emy - That's what I thought!!!!
It is bigger than the White House.
Yup
Mark & Emy Shibukawa damn it kinda do
Mark & Emy Shibukawa I thought the same thing!
It’s too beautiful to sit empty like that. Make it like a museum so people could walk through it and see what a mansion looks like on the inside. Or make it into a hotel.
This is a cool video and the music you used for it was perfect. Also, I enjoyed reading all the information that you posted throughout the video. Great job.
I couldn't read fast enough lol. Im slow today
