Sad Abandoned House w/ EVERYTHING LEFT BEHIND, CARS LEFT out front

- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This house appears to have been built in the 50s or 60s, I could not find much information on it sadly but it would seem that it's last owners may have been very elderly and passed away, with no other family to take care of the place from the state of things ( like the wheelchair and walker). It was a very sad but interesting place to explore.
Edit: The house was very recently abandoned And in the time since having filmed this, ( I filmed in November) the power has been shut off and the place has been fully demolished for new developments
I DO NOT STEAL OR VANDALIZE, I only take pictures and video and only go in if it's already open , I DO not give out locations to prevent further vandalism to these historic places! Always get permission if possible!
Thanks for watching everyone. Hope you enjoy it! Make sure to like and sub if you haven't already so you know when my next videos out, Thanks!!!(:
HOUSE is fully DEMOLISHED, Please read the description before commenting, thanks for watching! Hateful comments will be deleted and blocked along with questions already answered in the description
Thank you.Avery sobering video on life & mortality.Great comments also.Keep up your good work you are well appreciated.
Why would someone demolish a house like that ? It is build twice as strong as the junk they build today out of OSB board.
How come nobody is wondering why the power is still on and who id paying the bill.

I know right!?! I was flabbergasted at that!!! It was prime for a simple remodel in the kitchen upgrades in the bathrooms and refinishing and or restoring all hardwood floors, redo the plumbing and electric and it would have been perfect and cost less than a McMansion and been as big and definitely better!!!

Having had the sad experience of dealing with my parents and brothers house after their deaths i can assure you it is not a typical pack up and go, almost every item has a memory attached to it and its mentally exhausting deciding what to do with everything with care ,you do a bit then you have to leave for another time . Leaving the electric on just helps with lighting in the evenings and putting the kettle on for a well earned drink ,its that simple no mystery. Looks to me what was going on in this case.
angelnocharlie so true, my mom died recently and we spent days cleaning stuff out of the house... everything had a memory like you said..
@Angelnocharlie ~ ~ The more that he shows, the more I’m thinking you are correct. When I cleaned out my Mother’s place, I was on a deadline. I know that as much as I saved for myself, and saved to sell, there was a lot that was accidentally thrown away. So sad. It takes a lot of courage and dedication to go thru a loved ones house and it is NOT a one person job. But then on 2nd thought you would almost have to follow your help around so they wouldn’t toss anything that was keepable! That is why I want to start boxing and giving away now. Too many horror stories I see on here.
My father did that in the year before he passed…..started giving his things away. I thought it was a good idea. That way nobody fought over anything because he gave it to who he wanted to have it.
Angelnocharlie Yes, my siblings and l packed up my moms apartment after she died. So much went to the Salvation Army . It was very difficult to see some things go but it had to be done. We boxed up everything we wanted to take. There was no quibbling about who took what! Having said that, it is very apparent that this is Not the case for this house! There are a few boxes around but most of the stuff is still sitting and sitting and sitting. Years have gone by. So l totally disagree. This house is not being packed up presently waiting for the person who did the boxing to come back. They are obviously haven’t been back in years, nor do they intend to come back. It was torn down as Kappy said 5 years after he did the explore so no, no one was in the process of packing to leave and sell.
A lifetime of one's hard work, sweat and tears only to be lost memories when gone.
That station wagon looked EXACTLY like the one my mom used to drive when I was a kid in the mid-70's. Same color and everything .
That's what I kind of thought. Except ours was green. 1978 Chevy Caprice Classic station wagon. I learned to drive in that car.
what you could hold in your hand will not last, what you hold in your heart will last forever.
I don’t know.. metel and rock last forever
It’s more about things aren’t important...
The most important thing is Money...Arnold.
Your 'sewing' machine is an enlarger for photographing and making blueprints etc. Wonderful architectural items everywhere.
paula null Sorry for my ignorance ! I really had no idea , thanks for watching
No worries Kappy. You know about things I haven't a clue about. But if it is old and mysterious I have seen it or used it. It was a great place to see. Love looking at these.
Paula- Your remark on the "sewing" machine was cute. It put a little humor in the video. Humor is good. Interesting video.
This house was very 1970s. The light fixtures, the shag carpeting, the wallpaper...brought back a nice wave of nostalgia.
Awww Yep big old mansion probably grandparents and the guy who shot this neglects to say his parents live next door that’s why cops aren’t showing up or being called.. BUT I REALLY HAVE GOT TO ASK. On the table there was a scale for weighing probably grams and ounces definitely not pounds! Um if that house isn’t tied to your family don’t you feel a bit endangered?? Cuz where I come from a mansion, telephone wire yanked out of ceiling, scale on table in the open I personally would say it was a bad day for someone and would shut down this you tube thing and become a ghost.. literally I would say drugs are definitely involved too many signs show it was a safe house
This is a view into the legacy we will all leave behind. Treat each moment like the precious commodity it is because before you know it, you have none left.
That still running clock was just about the creepiest thing ever.
A reminder ... life goes on w/out us 🤷♀️
Its B.S Look at the Beginning around 137..Box Says Home Depot.
Zahir Haqq correct, someone recently (last 2-3 years) attempted to salvage some items out of that house. otherwise the place is a time capsule from the late '80s.
Calendar says 2012!
From the looks of their stuff they seemed like they lived an interesting life! To bad this bit of history was lost but at least you captured it on film for eternity!
539 Productions Thanks for watching man!!👍
Kappy
Were you ever able to get info on who the previous owners were?
539!
Glad vandals haven't destroyed the place!
Interesting, nice find and explore. Based on the items found, this place was owned by a graphics/layout artist, who apparently did pretty well for himself over the years. Rather old-school (as to be expected); a lot of the things he apparently specialized in are now mostly done on computer. The machine at the beginning is an optical projector, which can be used either to project images for drawing/painting guides or used as a photo enlarger. That, coupled with the tools and layout board it's mounted above screams "professional graphic artist". The other items like cameras and art tools in other rooms just reinforces this conclusion.
He - or they, if a couple - smoked, as evidenced by the ashtrays, and the wheelchair and walker/cane shows they had mobility issues, pointing to old age. I'd guess that they died unattended, and possibly not discovered for some time, based on the mattresses missing but not the bed frames; that's the kind of thing "death scene cleaners" would do. Probably no close relatives. There does appear to have been some minimal effort to clean up, so I'm guessing some relatives were found and probably just took what they wanted and abandoned the rest. In the end, they decided to just sell the property to developers, as - is usually the case - the land was probably worth far more than the home itself, particularly considering the work that would have had to go into it to make it sale-ready.
This is a good example of what happens with a lot of people when they die alone... yes, it's sad, but it happens all the time.
MrJest2
I think your guess is dead on. Very good and accurate :-)
MrJest2 p
Yeah, that's what i thought as well (specially the old drafting table in 1:37).
Hope they sell some of the stuff (some thing look in good shape) to make the owner's justice.
Still, it's sad to see the old idea that " we must have a lot of stuff in one big house" and in the end get all rotten.
I though he was an architect and single.....Oops
Thanks for the break down
I know a lot of people feel the same way, but it still makes me so angry that great places with salvageable materials and cool furnishings aren't saved before demolition. The German way mentioned below is a cool idea. My husband and I have our will say all items my son doesn't want (or pieces going to particular friends) be donated to the Thrift Shop that supports our local No Kill Shelter. We Americans have become so careless with the past and the future and it is terrible for our planet. Many people who could benefit from receiving the furniture and such.
Make sure you have an executor who will follow your wishes. If the State is forced to appoint one, they just do what they want and your Thrift Store might end up with nothing.
It doesn't matter. That's the real message here.
Many buildings and homes are bought by contractors. Before they knock them down they will call several salvage companies to bid on the property. The Salvage companies will then come in and save the antiques, woodwork, wrought iron fences, lighting, some carpets. They will save the rocks... doors...statues etc..etc...then WE MAY GO BUY THEM AT THE SALVAGE BUSINESS. I love finding the great artifacts of days gone by at these places. Some Salvage companies have an ownwr that is just in business to save stuff....collects and NEVER SELLS. 😳 l knew one gentleman....he had buildings filled with beautiful salvage.....he would show it....but NEVER SELL IT. He was worth MILLIONS. Not all these beautuful items go to the dump. Many are reused in new homes.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars for that home, abandoned for 4 years and then demolished.... it was so beautiful and in amazing shape. What a shame, seriously, a giant home with 2 fireplaces, a metal deck, cobblestone exterior, hardwood... why would someone want to destroy that...
Gert Jørgensen they destroyed it because it's a small house by today's standards and it's on a large lot where they can build many more McMansions on smaller lots in a nice culd-e-sac. It's basic economics. Would you rather make 20k-80k flipping it or 40k-80k on each new McMansion you can put in a development on that lot ?
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se that's small to you?
They destroy houses like this simply because they can build there crap built homes cheaper then repairing a home worth restoring
I find it sad that they're going to demolish a house to build a ....house. New houses don't have any character and frankly are boring. They really don't build it like they used to.
Such a beautiful house I bet it used to belong to an architect, a bachelor because I do not see anything that belongs to a woman. I really enjoyed the video thank you.
Nicoletta
I believe he was a widower! There were a few feminie things in the last closet! I think either they were both artists, or she was the artist and/or his muse, because the art stuff was mostly put away, so.... He either stopped after she passed or wasn't inspired after she passed and or they were both artists but he didn't do much after her passing!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. I much prefer old house (even abandoned) to new boring construction of the 2000's.
RedLight GreenArrow peppers why demolish the house. Could had kept the out side rock panels. It keeps house warm in winter n cool in summer. Could had just gutted the house. New houses don't stand long, foundations are shit.
I agree!!!
Food for thought: No one has ever seen a hearse with a uhaul attached to it. We can't take it with us. On that note I have started really purging lately. I got rid of my storage unit and we live in an apartment with things we love but not overwhelmed by it.
He surrounded himself with the people and things he loved and of beauty while he was here...or why else is life worth living? Please do not ascribe to the philosophy of a spartan lifestyle. No, we can't take it with us, but it is here for us to enjoy in the moment.
We have an elderly widower in our neighborhood, last year he started having “yard sales” , when I asked him why he was selling all his stuff, he said that his neighbor lady passed away and he watched as all of her belongings we tossed into a dumpster, he didn’t want that for his belongings.
Sylvia Rippey Now that I’m 63 , kids out of the house, and near retirement that’s my game plan also.
I love my things, got too many, but have asked the kids to just do whatever they want with it because I will be DEAD! It will no longer matter to me, so it is their decision.
Leaving a ton of useless, dust-collecting junk that your grown children will have to sift through and decide to keep/donate/toss, is selfish. Get rid of it so they won't have to.
I’m glad to hear you show respect to the past owners by not taking anything
Thank you for posting your video
How do u know he didn't
Like phewww
in Germany they put it all on the street for junking. an old man told us as we walked by that he was going in a home an his kids didn't want his stuff. he begged us to take some so it would not go the trash man
pat goff true...a lot of older people would rather have their stuff taken for someone to use than it being thrown.
Including me. I felt so sorry for the man that I took the dishes and some other things.
God that is heartbreaking.I run into that kind of odd good fortune too much
Which brings me to my question ... If a house is abandoned and has been for quite some time, is it stealing if you take and use the items, especially all the beautiful furniture. It saddens me to know that it will all be demolished along with the house when someone could have used it. I know by watching many of these videos that people think it is 100% wrong to take anything. For me, if I don't want something or I don't use it I either donate it or sell it because I would rather someone use it then it end up in the trash. And what really saddens me is when photo's are found and forgotten : (
That is sad,but I understand.
After my husband died I sold our house & bought a smaller place. I took a lot of stuff to a church based thrift store that also gives it free also to people in need. But I tried to give away stuff so it wouldn't be trashed but so many people said they wanted it but wouldn't come & get it. I'm too old/& in bad health to pack it up & take it to them so I walked away from a lot of good things, I just didn't have room for it in my new place.
I am so in love with this house!!!!
Denise Smith Thanks for watching! It's a shame that it has all been demolished
Very true. Too many of these homes I see on UE videos still have great bones and wonderful architecture but are demolished so new, lower quality built stuff can be erected. Thank you for documenting another beautiful house!
It is truly sad it was destroyed. my heart is broken.
Denise Smith Very sad indeed.
The hardwoods, stone work, fireplaces! It would be magnificent if they spent the amount of a new house on repairing this one....and a much better home... Thanks for sharing.... (But, I am feeling a bit sick with society at the moment.....)
Much of this is saved by Salvage Companies.....they bid with the new owners of the property ....for salvage. They then go in and tear it out.....sell it...normally to contractors, to incorporate into new homes. I have bought many salvage items....beautuful wood....statues, brick, rock...wrought iron. It"s not cheap to buy either. 🌝 Love it.
@@suearmstrong9597 I always hope that salvage is done before places are demolished. Unfortunately, I'm afraid too many places are torn down before salvage is done.
At 7:15 the wallpaper is called "grasscloth" and is hand woven with silk and special grasses from the orient. We had it in our 2nd home and it is the most mid century wall covering I know of pre pop culture 60's. It is also expensive as all get out.
I love it!
Me too, my cousin had it in her home.
I am a collector and used to have an antique store in Los Angeles. Those light fixtures were worth thousands and the framed textile on the wall is possibly priceless. I wish these videos were narrated by someone knowledgeable or older who understands the time period. Same with the cufflinks and cameras/equipment. Very valuable. The house was built in 1969 and of exceptional quality. The reed wallpaper at the time was very expensive and it covers the walls everywhere. At 10:23 in the video, there is a folio with a label belonging to the Jefferson Sheraton in Richmond which was one of his clients. He must have been a hugely successful commercial artist. The negatives in his file cabinets under the bookcase alone are or were most likely incredibly valuable. It is a shame it's all been destroyed. We never got to see what was in the trunk, but plenty of close ups of the dust and toilets. Suggestion: Please focus more on the items and less on the dirt and grime if you'd like to have more subscribers.
That sounds beautiful, I hope you are doing great with your family Brenda?
great house. too bad the house could not have been sold and renovated.
Taylor Queensbury well the problem with that is that if the house was on a large lot 1 acre + since it was a mansion back in the 50s it has all this good land ripe for the developing. Now days the sizes of the homes being built on that lot are probably the same size or bigger but the lot will probably be 4-16 new homes. So a flip might make you 60k? 80k? Maybe. A single McMansion can make you that in profits then times that by 4-16 and your doing very well then.
It would cost more to make it up to code and livable than the house is worth.
Someday someone might be looking at our stuff just like this. Life is way too short.. What once was a beautiful home with people living their lives a short time ago, lay wasted like this.. Very harsh reality.. 💔
You are so right, it’s part of life. I hope you are doing great with your family Mary?
Another awesome video Kappy! Congrats on 3K Subs! All those moving boxes, they must have been in the middle of moving when something happened. Always makes you wonder. Great job bro.
Explore With Us Thank you very much!!😄 I really appreciate that! And I agree! It definitely made me want to find out more about what happened!!
Explore with us I am glad to run into you here. I have watched all your videos. You make me want to get a bigger nissan!! Love y'all keep up the greatness
What's weird is that although the house seemed to have been abandoned for years, the electricity was still on, and the batteries in the clock were still working. I wonder what the story is behind that.
It's interesting about the electric still being on. I had checked out a clearly abandoned trailer years ago and it was in pretty bad shape and the power was STILL on!! Gotta make you wonder if maybe the power company was just never notified.
Great video. It's a shame this house was torn down instead of fixed up. I bet it will be replaced with some contemporary piece of crap. I hope they took out and saved the furniture, that large piece upstairs was called a secretary, it's a combination book case and desk. Just under the glass doors the front folds down for writing and there are cubbies and drawers in there as well. Take care and be safe.
Starting watching your videos at current..going to your older videos....six yrs ago...kappy you ve been at this for a while..what a cool home..grand fire place..hope it got a family...fixing up!
WHEN YOU EXPLORE - PLZ EXPLORE IN THE TRUNKS & DRESSER DRAWERS TOO ! YOU ARE DRIVING ME NUTS BY NOT DOING THAT !!!
Janet Adams he dosent have to bitch
@@nuggets710 girl it was that deep I don't know why you had to be rude
explorers won’t do that it’s exposing personal property and it’s disrespectful. Looters will. I would keep that in mind
Just wear gloves...
wendy4ronpaul that’s literally not the point 🤣 I said it is unethical dumbass
Love the furniture items! So sad that people leave things & family members don't care about any of it.
Why don't there children sell the things rather than let them to rott could be useful to other people and why don't they sell the property?
A remarkable exploration. This house was a time capsule. Too there was not trace of vandalism or ransacking. It's not unusual for things to be left behind in abandoned houses but it is unusual for a house this big and this fine and with so much valuable material in it. It makes for good viewing but I think of how someone somewhere has been irresponsible. Whoever took charge of the place got some great items. I'd like to suggest that when there are books in a houses you explore that you show the titles. I'm always curious about what the books are and if there are any I've read.
+Andrew Brendan I couldn't agree more with you buddy!!! Thank you for the nice words and watching!!(: much appreciated! I will make sure to examine any books next time! Sorry about that! Thank you !!(:
Of course this house got ransacked, didn't you see the broken ceiling ? Obviously some junkie came on the down level and stole the electric wires to sell the copper. And a lot of furniture had their doors left opened to see if there was more to steal (jewellery, cash and whatnot).
so sad, all those memories just fading away. It's a beautiful house, I'd love to go back in time when the house was occupied hopefully it was filled with lots of love and laughter. Shame it had to be demolished. I love your videos and the way you steadily take us on a journey back in time. At least you have a video of the house so it's never forgotten completely.
thanks, keep up your great work finding these places. A Happy new year to you.
Jackie from the UK.
I feel sad about it too, I hope you are doing great with your family Jackie?
This was such a nice house. Looking at this once beautiful homes make me want to be more minimalist every time I watch one of your Vids. Only if I decide to adopt kids will I have a medium house. So sad to think this house represents the lifetime of someone...
very sad that someone had very nice things and stuff they were passionate about and now its gone..and strange electricity was still on!.. very awesome video detailing and showing someone's life!!!
I feel sad about it too, I hope you are doing good with your family Christine?
Wow wondering what that house look like back in the day. It is a terrible shame to see a home to sit like that.
+Judith M Indeed! I couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching! Much appreciated!(:
What a beautiful home. So sad that it’s gone. Thanks for sharing!
I feel sad about it too, I hope you are doing great with your family Emma?
Looks to be a 3rd gen Caprice station wagon...87-89. Incredibly interesting tour sir! Keep em coming! You've got my 👍 all day long!
Sad to hear the house was demolished--it was a very nice home! Watching these kinds of videos renews my efforts to purge stuff before I head out into the ether. I don't want my family to be overwhelmed while they're grieving! Luckily, I've made real progress. Am starting to distribute items to certain people. Thanks for another sad but beautiful tour! 🏚️
older married couples some times sleep in separate bed rooms. I wander if the wife sleep in bed room with the Walker. and her husband was sleeping in the master bedroom.. it's a beautiful house...
Sad.. I love some of those 70s light fixtures 😍
It's sad to see the remains of someone's life, knowing they worked their whole lives , and are prob dead now
Eric Undertaker exactly, those are the things I think of when I see houses like this... it’s like I see that house full of light and happiness.... sad to me as well!
My parents passed away and their home sat empty for two years . My brother bought the house from the family and completely remodeled the house. If you woke up in that house you would think you’re in a new house. He did a excellent job on the home.
It looks like they were packing to move. It's not as dirty as some. So many nice things. great video guys...
Connie Crawford I agree! And thanks!! It's just me and me and my madre!
☹️So sad to see somebody's life right before your eyes and now they're gone. It looks like maybe family was at least trying to box everything up and take it out. Hopefully they were able to finish before it was demolished. Great video Kappy.👍🌵🙂
Sounds beautiful, I hope you are doing great with your family Deb?
I want that caprice wagon
M7 Machines 💯💯💯
Probobly pressed by now.
You may not believe me nor care but that station wagon was 80's classic gold. Fully restored to OEM could fetch anywhere from 10 to 20k or more. I would have loved to bid on it at an auction. Neat video. Good job, great find.
I bet it was really nice once. Imagine the happy times that once were.
+pitbull mom I agree, it really is a shame ! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!(:
Everything about that house screams mid century- 1950’s to 60’s light fixtures, furniture he could have been a WWII veteran just winding down the last few decades. Hats in the closet like my dad wore.
@@tdoggo7614 He was certainly of that generation.
@T Doggo….your dad was part of the greatest and bravest generation of patriotic warriors the world has ever seen. World War II was a hell of a battle….they had no fear.
Good work ! All you show us reflects the real face of life , that is to say nothing lasts and everything is gonna be left behind even if it seems to us that we stay long in life without paying attention to the change of circumstances .
Recently here in Australia there was a case in the courts about a developer who found a vacant house about 25 years ago,moved in and renovated the building and improved it over the years,paid the council rates and rented it out. Under the Squatters Act in that particular state(New South Wales l think) he was legally the owner of that house now,having occupied and improved it over that period. The family of the original occupier(an aunt ) tried to claim the house as their property( they said they were unaware that she actually owned the property and had only recently become aware of that fact) but the court ruled in favour of the developer because of the Squatters Act. (and awarded the court costs against the family) The developer now stands to make AU $1.6 million from the sale of the property.(pure profit as the rentals would have offset all the costs of any renovations and improvements made.) The point being that perhaps it might pay to check if similar acts are on the books in your part of the world.
Clive Piper That is just sad and wrong on so many levels. Squatters should be jailed for the thieves they are. If I stole $20 from someone, I would be arrested. With this stupid law, you can steal a whole house without penalty. Shameful.
In The USA, possession is 9/10ths of the law, especially real estate possession.
The legal means of appropriating someone else's real estate is but purchasing unpaid taxes. If a home owner doesn't pay their real estate taxes, the state will auction them off to the highest bidder. After a grace period, which varies around the country, the purchaser of the tax debt become the deed holder/owner of the property.
Many an unscrupulous, greedy bastard has made his fortune in this manner.
Watching You go through abandoned places fulfills my need to do it for myself..
Great place. it has a really expensive feel about it . Whoever lived there was very talented.
Julie Robinson Thanks for the nice words!!(: I agree with you!! Much appreciated !!!(:
My favorite urbex ever ! I love it. I could have bought this house! Such a waste to demolish it....I love the colors inside this house. Everything was chosen to make you feel warm and cosy : wallpaper on 1st floor, high quality one very popular in the 80's; the fireplaces look like the one in the show "Hart to Hart" in the 80's. I love this giant poster in the workshop. An office to receive customer, a workshop, it all makes sense; working home like that is ideal! It was just left like that after the owner died. Maybe his only heir died after the first packing session. Or didn't care...Thank you so much for this visit.
That house was owned by an architect and he loved art. Such a beautiful place!
Nicoletta Ciccone yes, that beautiful den with the sun streaming through the windows!
Thanks for sharing! Given date of calendars, modern posters, etc., vs. extent of decay, it appears the house was neglected LONG before officially abandoned. I'm especially fond of the juxtaposition of the 'modern' calendars in a home of age filled w/objects of multiple decades and the attendant wear and tear. The grasscloth wallpaper seen throughout was top of the line stuff back in late 70's, early 80's, while of course the printed wall coverings are decades prior (unless repros which seems highly unlikely). Still, what a lovely home. Still. The artist (he or she) sure had some lovely natural light to work by. Hope the home was given a second chance. Buildings were not built to be vacant.
Channel1 house was demolished if you read the description thanks for watching
I hope someone rescued that pendulum clock!
Thanks for sharing! Some really cool things left behind. You could tell that the occupant(s) lived there a long time. Someone made an attempt to start the packing process and just stopped. I enjoyed this exploration.
Wow, look's like it was an awesome place!!! A lot of stuff was left there! Great video!!!
It seems so, I hope you are doing great with your family?
Nice to see no vandals got there ahead of you, Kappy. Looked like a pleasant place to live and work. I had to retire early, due to my health deteriorating after a car accident, and my own artistic endeavors have been somewhat curtailed. So seeing places like this gives me pangs, if you know what I mean....
"Big Trunk, I Wonder Whats In That"..... Then Walks Away....lmfao!
That trunk was beautiful.
A reputable explorer won’t go through personal belongings. It’s disrespectful.
How sad...what a beautiful home to be demolished. It's as if nobody cared to clear the home once the old folks had to leave for a care center or passed on. Nobody wants to be forgotten..
Amazing find Kappy , loved the cameras, loads of interesting things there, eww the fridge Haha you was brave opening it. You're super sweet asking if anyone's there just urban exploring, that's how it should be done, fantastic video.
Tracy Explores Thank you very much Tracy!!!😄 I really appreciate the kind words and support!!(: i agree tho! The cameras were awesome! It was definitely one of my all time favorite places I've explored!
Whats does kappy mean?
The family truckster in the front yard. And I love those hardwood floors. And the stone masonry on the outside is awesome. I don’t understand why would it be demolished. It has so much character. I’d even take the furniture.
great video with a very clear picture. your voice is so easy to listen to....
My mother's property was empty for 15 years before she gave it to me. I went back every 2 months to check on it. Just because a house is empty doesn't mean it's abandoned. It's still private property. I don't know what I would have done if I found someone wandering around filming my childhood home during one of my check in visits. I'm not trying to be mean or hateful, but I just don't understand anyone ever doing this without the owner's permission.
Beautiful home, if only I had the money and was a resident of the country I would have bought the house and restored it. We are losing so much history and quality homes by destroying the old and building the crappy new homes of today.
Another great & interesting find of yours I found this morning and as a bonus NO vandalism.Good work Kappy 👍 for the trip back to suburban upper middle class living in 60s 70s 🇺🇸
you should do a whole video on the flat tires on that car!
This home is beautiful! Why would anyone abandon these lovely home and leave everything behind! It doesn’t make sense!
I loved the large picture/wall hanging of the woods
Rebecca Moody I agree! It was awesome! Thanks for watching!! Much appreciated !(:
Thank you for making a record of their home and giving us an idea of the lives they led. Something of their existence now is recorded for us to experience. I hope the valuable furnishings were removed and appreciated before the house was demolished. It looked like someone was doing some packing up of things such as that clock so that gives me hope that at least some things are being cherished. Even though I have no idea who these people were, everyone deserves to have their memory treated with respect by someone.
I watch a lot of these urban exploring videos and abandoned locations. Something I see consistently is the year 2012. Just weird, all of that stuff about the world ending in 2012 and to see all these places frozen in time like the people just disappeared... Interesting to think about...
What I was thinking... it's pretty alarming... of what happened.
Are you thinking the rapture or something happened very quietly? Or maybe these people were so scared that they committed suicide? Regardless it’s very interesting
@@tommyg9719 ...its some trippy stuff... things you see in Apocalypse type movies... 🤔
QQurious mQQe reminds me of a walking dead set
@@qquriousmqqe6205 Are you nutts???
Wow, such a beautiful location. Retro furniture and lights, and that wallpaper in the bathroom was awesome!! Such a shame it has been demolished, thank you for exploring it sharing it with us
Wish you would have gotten a good shot of the bookcase. That will tell you a lot about who lived there. Such a shame all that old furniture was just left in there.
Kappy I love watching your videos. Alot of people put out urban exploration videos but yours are the only ones I care to watch. I love exploring old houses and especially old barns. I like to imagine the people who lived there and wonder why some left everything behind. Have you ever walked in on squatters while exploring?
another great video man, keep them coming.
That’s 70’s wallpaper 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Hard to believe that house was filled with joy and happiness .. and now no body to care for it
I'm heartbroken. I'd sooner live in an older house then a brand new one. Older ones have more love built in them. Anyway I wonder if anything was salvaged? The furniture, wood, household stuff so many places could use? Or was it all just flattened and buried like a dirty secret?????
One day the new ones will be old.
Very nicely done.
Your closing with the walker placed as if someone was glimpsing the last of life outside those walls pretty much says it all.
Great explore Kappy! I sure hope they saved that old secretary before the house was demolished!
History Rambler Mark Thanks buddy!(: much appreciated ! And I agree !! Hopefully it was!!
This house reminded me of another Brady Bunch house, the type of station wagon parked outside, the stone fireplace, that wood paneling on the wall, those stairs.
makes me sad. I hope my stuff isn't left like that. so much someone could use.
So sad - what a beautiful home - always sad to see how people are easily forgotten. Do contractors who purchase the property have someone go through to remove historic and/or valuable items to see before demolishing? I guess no heirs no one to claims items. Love your adventures!
There's a chest on the floor..."focuses on a bedpost".
Some beautiful old furniture, loved the bed frames, hope they saved them.
Great video, thanks.
0:18 nice rock wall facing. Wow a station wagon lol dont see those around much. Cool. Yes house looks like elderly dwelling card tables about Look at backdrop wall wallpaper of trees thats 70s print. Still cool though. Thanks for exploring. Nice vid
Still a nice house love those real wood floors . That house was made of love. Hope simeone restores it. Great explore.
I need to be in the salvage business. I see $ the clock someone valued enough to ship. Those metal industrial drawers & boxes, very hot in design right now, big $. I doubt the desk was pressboard & veneer. All that original mid-century modern furniture, highly desirable & being reproduced. There could be original pieces under the dust.
The work of removing the valuables is too hard? We'd rather buy disposable toxic goods from China, and pack our landfills. The few salvage companys that exist make huge markups on vintage stuff in these rooms. I would shop salvage stores if they existed where I am. Most items are to large to ship any distance. I had a job once upon a time, the owner would contact the relatives, make a bid & remove anything of value & resell or aution later. It was dirty manual labor often 75% profit !
I don't want mention how sad I get thinking this is what's left of a person's life. Is there really no one left to enjoy the valuables left behind? Maybe that will be me one day, a pile of things I treasured & valued swept into a landfill without a second look. Probably a bankroll of cash hidden deep in there, gone forever.
brr johnson Maybe you could start a salvage business called "Legacy heirlooms" or something like that ,and go to homes like these and clean them out? The hardest part would be finding the original owners and getting permission.Yes most things are recyclable/ vintage/ usable.What a waste!
My friends grandparents made millions salvaging stuff
If there was a volunteer opportunity for salvaging an abandoned place, I would totally sign up. I don't know why people would even consider destroying items of such value and historical significance
brr Johnson ... it could happen at any moment to any of us ! It’s important to enjoy ourselves in the now ... but I hear you those are things I ponder too ... often 🤔
I knew this guy named Fred who owned salvage business with his son and they would go out in old truck to places like that house and remove everything lock, stock, and barrel.
The outside of that house is beautiful with all that brick! ....and the furniture is beautiful and old and expensive. Makes you wonder why they didn't take all that nice furniture. Sad really. Thanks for the vid :D
At 1:03 and 1:07, I heard someone say “Well”. Happened other times too.
Scanning comments to see if I'm the only one who heard that. It was loud too.
He had his gf with him. They were whispering back and forth.
I heard it loud and clear
I thought it was his mom..
Beautiful stone home and fireplace place. So sad it got torn down. I would love to have a house like this.
Those cars sitting outside for years and the tyres STILL have air in them, no flats. Oh my god.
Fascinating exploration, good to see that noone vandalised the property. I was expecting to see some Skellingtoons on the beds, I imagine that there are old People end up passing away with no family to take care of them and their bones end up gathering dust. Thanks for sharing your video and all the best for the new year.
that one camera you showed goes for over 100 dollars on ebay.
Came across your channel this morning and started watching and you now have a new subscriber! I know this is an older video so I hope this comment finds you! I'm 38 and since I was a teen, I've wanted to do exploration similar to your content and others. Maybe seeing these video's will push me into doing something I've always wanted to do, but unfortunately we always let our adult life dominate every aspect of life and I think it's time to change that!
Who is paying the electric bill?? Weird.
very interesting video, loved it, do open things so we can see what people thought were items worth keeping. Thanks
Nice video, I hope you are doing great with your family Linda?
so 60's!!! i love it!!
kitty friend I agree!!(: thanks for watching and the nice words!!
I had a station wagon just like that one in the 1990"s I loved it!
My parents had one like that in the 70's.
Why is the electricity still on??
auaiao9 same
Maybe the owners' utility bill was paid monthly by Direct Debit ?
@@genericwhitemale466 Hey i recognize you! Why don't u have a seat??
yes of course yes
There should be an electrical box outside the house. You should be able to turn on/off the power there. The electric company can most certainly put a special lock on it but are reluctant to do that. But they will if they catch someone messing with it. 7-28-2024
Was a large house!! So much left behind. Great Explore Thank You For Sharing. 👌👍
