Look at the positive, someone made a lot of money from its demolition. This person can now buy things. Don’t know what sort of home they live in, themselves, though, I guess they would demolish that, too, if they thought it would make them money.
I watched in silence with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye eventually ran down my cheek. 😢 all that artistry. All those who have lived there who made it more than a house, it was a home. 💔
Hi Marlena, definitely an emotional exit from existence for this old beauty. The history and craftsmanship gone forever. Thanks for watching and your comments :-)
My man and I watched this together. I love how the added in pictures where it once was beautifully decorated. The reason for all of this demolishing is because of the agenda 21. They want to put pple into tiny apartments so as to keep better track of them. It's all about control and facial recognition. Makes me sick. All of these beautiful homes could have / should've been saved. I nearly cried too.
This is one of the best videos I've seen so far on your Channel. Thank you so much for making the video and sharing it with us. It sure breaks my heart to see such a historical gorgeous home being demolished. It's just not fair.
Hey David thanks for the support! It is my longest video too but it needed to be in my opinion to send it off with a goodbye. :-) It was hard and sad to see it knock down. All that remains is the front bay window which suggests it may be saved and relocated. :-)
These homes are unlike any other in the world. They are unique to Australia and it is a tragedy that they are being destroyed at the hands of developers who care nothing for their historical value. This particular house looked in wonderful condition and deserved to be saved. Maybe it was a B&B priced too high for the average buyer? I am from the US but I have fallen in love with Australia’s architecture. I can only share in the despair that these homes are disappearing at such an alarming rate.
Well said Susan, I do know the previous owners were there for 35 years and unfortunately it was time to move on for them and this home is one that slipped through the cracks and it was too little too late. There are more in depth details here- facebook.com/SaveSAhistory/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARAZY0lKIrVSJpp5SovyMmD51Rxlc2HQoH1C-rcJlO2JsFWeAXgcqMOjmz3vXaQzBBPVE_dRiABh8PiS

My friend, this video was beautiful. And sad.. The music, the editing, the captions.. It hurt my heart to see this gal destroyed like she didn't matter.. Her history didn't matter. Those four words put a knot in my stomach. Thank you friend for tugging at my heart strings. Thank you for showing people that history DOES matter. And thank you for making this one of my favorite videos on your channel. 😞💔❤

Another sad 😢 one mate. Tears in me eyes Governor, tears in me eyes mate !!! Why gov why ??? A beautiful home going down mate. Sad mate. Sad !!! Enjoyed in a sad way mate. Signing off mate. Cheerio.
Hey old Chap! Yes tears while making the vid mate. History gone......heritage lost. Legally it was not protected but morally it should be standing for ever........things need to change, Thanks for watching buddy :-)
I am absolutely sickened by this senseless, wanton destruction. Of all the properties you've documented, seeing this one torn to bits physically hurts. Who is responsible for this atrocity? Is it another "urban renewal" project? I can imagine nothing built today that can even hope to equal what was beautifully designed, built, and well loved for 156 years.

We will have nothing left that is beautiful. A dentist kills a magnificent lion because he has the money and is proud. It is all greed, and the rest of us will have nothing but dirt and cheap housing to look at while we become the slave of the wealthy 6.
This one brought tears to my eyes. What an elegant place this must have been at its zenith. The attention to detail and the richness of the finishes was extraordinary. I certainly hope and pray that those who appreciate such beauty and heritage are able to effect changes so that this continued erasure of your country's history does not continue to be destroyed.
Im glad you felt the emotion too Ladylobo1 :-) They do not make or even attempt to make homes like this anymore as the art is lost i`d say. Even the wealthy do not go the whole 9 yards to build with this craftsmanship. Thanks for your support and for watching :-)
This took my breath my away. Dreadful sadness in the deepest part of my soul. I see awesome beauty everywhere here, through all the damages even I see nothing but beauty. The haunting music made me cry even worse than I wanted to. I cant believe a wonderful place such as this is being destroyed. The designers of this home were so talented. I will view this video many times and possibly cry again many times. Please know that I appreciate all the work and time it must have undoubtedly taken you to produce this video, (mini-documentary I'd call it) for my enjoyment. This is absolutely one of your very best. Thank you so much. xoxo
Marie V i`m glad it tugged at the heart strings as I wanted it too. I know people are passionate about these things as I am.

Thanks again Marie :-)
I have tears in my eyes watching this Beautiful building being destroyed and also feel anger too what's going on we all know that money talks . The architect was outstanding . Thank you for a brilliant lament and filming by you of this remarkable once home that has stood the test of time xx
I had those emotions too Rosa. Im glad it came through the video too. :-) You had the connection which shows you interest in these old places like so many others. :-) Glad you are enjoying these videos. Thanks for your support :-)
Developers mouths were watering over the size of this property Dave. Unfortunately it was not on heritage listing and through a change of hands it legally met a fate of demolition. Morally it should be standing forever.......lots of details about the whole situation if you scroll through this FB page facebook.com/SaveSAhistory/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARAZY0lKIrVSJpp5SovyMmD51Rxlc2HQoH1C-rcJlO2JsFWeAXgcqMOjmz3vXaQzBBPVE_dRiABh8PiS
Greed will make almost anybody do ANYTHING, even the most unspeakable of acts, if the right price is offered to them.. 😔 The owners of this breathtaking property must have been offered a king's ransom or maybe they were given secrets for eternal life, love and happiness. Personally, I couldn't imagine relinquishing it for ANYTHING less!!!😭😭
This makes me so sad. A magnificent historical home. Thank you for your continued record of lost homes. I so wish this wouldn’t happen here in America too but not often. I will sign the petition in hopes we can make a difference. I hope my being from the US doesn’t negate my efforts to help preserve your country’s treasures.i love your channel. 🥰
Hi Jan :-) Thanks for signing, Im not sure if it accepts international but a signature of support is valid no matter where its from in my opinion! :-) Glad you enjoyed this old place, thanks for your support and for watching :-)
Urbex Indigo it accepted my name which included my address so let’s hope it’s gone through. I have forgotten my FB password lol but I’ll figure that out and sign the other petition tomorrow. Keep doing these great vids. I’m certain you love these homes that will soon be gone. I love really enjoyed your presentations so we don’t miss something of note. You have a gift.
My 11 yr old grandson just loves the music. It soothes him. Lovely large property. Im feeling negative about the black and white bathroom. Great kitchen. Beautiful explore!
Hi tacobell, glad your Grandson enjoyed that music, it does have a great feel. . Glad you enjoyed this beautiful old home now gone, cheers for watching :-)
What a Gorgeous spectacular home.... Not sure how I missed this one....The tile in the kitchen was amazing....Oh wow my heart was broken watching the outro....thinking of all the time it took to build a mansion like this and to know in a matter of minutes it was destroyed....So sad for our future generations....
I`m still angry over this one as a lot of people are Heather. I did want to make this a bit emotional so it tugs on the heart strings. Big loss of histories and memories Heather, thanks for watching :-0
Omygod! Such a travesty, such beauty was forsaken! It was glorious, in its day! I have such a passion for classic, historic, items & places. The old pictures say it all!
You said it Tammy! Forsaken by the mighty dollar and obsession of profits........No respect for grand old historical homes. The real estate pics really did this place justice. Thanks for caring and watching Tammy :-)
Everyone says it so well in the comments.....why, this place is beyond beautiful. Thank you for videoing this place before it became just a pile of bricks.
Hi Gladys :-) The before pics really do this old grand home the justice it deserve in all her glory. So sad it ended like this. Thanks for watching :-)
She was beautiful. That backyard just went on & on, more to explore around every corner. It's a shame somebody bought it to demolish it. Really good, but sad explore.
This is absolute vandalism of such an amazingly beautiful home, how could anyone in there right mid destroy such a lovely home, it breaks my heart 😭 how can anyone think a soless modern box is better? I would give my right arm for such a lovely home with all them stunning original features. We get so much of the same vandalism of beautiful places in England too 😔
I don't know if they will accept my signature, but I tried. My grandkids beg me to write about the "old days." The farm I was raised on is covered by condominiums and apartments. My old home and the barns are gone, bulldozed. Not a building on it was younger than 150 years old. It was one of the pioneer homes in the area. Bless you for documenting these vanishing treatures.
Lynne you should put pen to paper and document all you can remember from those days! Valuable information. :-) Thanks for appreciating these old places and for your support. Cheers form Adelaide :-)
It's greed seems to win out over everything now sad but true. Thanks Paul for the look around and I've signed the petition this ridiculous situation cannot be allowed to go unchecked! My home in Nth Qld a tin house was listed as heritage precinct, and yet in SA they overlook this?? A request Paul if you ever get out to the peninsula Moonta area there are really nice bluestone buildings, one place is quite unique I can't recall the town name off the top of my head but would love to see in one.. keep up the great work documenting these old beauties.
Hi Earthbound4now, thanks for watching and signing the petition :-) It seems Tassie and QLD are doing good things to preserve their history. Something SA needs to follow obviously! Moonta sounds good and something to look at for sure! Lots of old bluestone places back in Victoria too I want to get to! Cheers from Adelaide :-)
Definitely a shame. Beautiful place. At least many others get demolished due to being beyond saving but this place looked perfectly sound with just the barest touch ups needed. Then you see the size of the block it's on and you can understand why developers wanted it. A lot of units on could fit on it.
Hi there!! This house made me so emotional, I cried. I watch a lot of urban explores and this one choked me up. Foolish I guess. The photos of this house are stunning. Unfortunately urban development must go on to provide housing for so many people. The developers don't care about preservation or keeping the existence of history for future generations. It's sad to see this and thank you for showing this beautiful home to us. I hear the passion in your voice and sadness as you show us and tells us about the history. Architectural design and detail will be lost in future buildings. In deed Rest in Pease. Much love.
Hi Ronna, i`m glad you felt that way as I did want that emotion to come through for this old place having to meet an early fate........I just wish they would choose old run down warehouses or something else to knock over instead. I do get passionate about these places and love filming them so thanks for your support and for watching :-)
Tear jerker...beautiful home...why in heavens name are they pulling such an amazing home down.....it’s all about money theses days so sad...xxx keep exploring and showing us all these homes xx
Yes sad Jacqueline. And yes a developer got hold of it and it was not protected by heritage........you know the rest. Bummer. Thanks for your support and for watching :-)
This is to beautiful to tear down I bet the workers are saving alot of stuff I know I would but this just makes me want to cry how it was in the photos
Luckily the interiors are being saved Simone but it is still sad....more than sad......I think the front bay window structure may have been saved and relocated also which is one nice gesture.........Thanks for watching :-)
This is just too sad...but a perfect illustration of what those currently in power do and do not value. Once a thing, crafted by skilled hands is gone...there will also come a day when there are no more hands skilled in these ways....and those beauties will be lost for all time 9save in these diaries of yours and those like you. Thank you, you do more of a service to more people than you realize.🖤🇨🇦
I think we are all bewildered by the mindset of developers but that is thier game and they seem immune to sentiment. Just need the people to speak up and force some new measure to protect more and not less. Thanks for your support Tamarra! :-)
Im really hurt abandoning this beautiful well built home..Im happy if preseved for tourist attraction..d living room is so nice ,d style is unique.strong material ,wood n bricks..OMG Im sad..
there were many tears and much anger over this one being demolished Mama mIa, they dont make them like they used to and certainly not like this one. Cheers for watching :-)
There are so many worldwide...so many reusable resources left to rot...😖 Looks like some of this one was recycled, at least. This place was fantastic! Thank you for documenting it. Thumbs up.👍
One good thing is yes they salvaged a lot of the interiors Leisa :-) But in the scheme of it all it should have been protected as its age alone should automatically qualify for protection. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching :-)
This home was truly something that should have been cherished and not demolished. All that beauty and artistry.....gone......for the life of me I will NEVER understand such waste.
Hi. Oh man, this just sickens me. They’re destroying these beautiful old historical homes, i stead of preserving them. I’ll sign the petition, and I live in the U.S.. i could not watch the last portion of this beautiful home being demolished. It just sickens and saddens me to no end.
I don't understand why this Beautiful Home is being torn down. Oviously from the Realtor pictures, what is left of paint, wallpaper, and architecture, this was a well cared for home! Is there something being built in this area? Thanks for showing it!
You are correct in wondering why Brenda as it was in grand condition and well loved and maintained!!!!!! Unfortuantely a change of hands meant it got snapped up by developers........and the rest is lost history.........80-100 small units are going in there........Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 thanks for your reply! I just Love those styles of homes. I am So Glad the fireplace surrounds and most of the wooden floor boards are being repurposed!When you took us around you showed at least one or two vent covers that were Very Beautiful with birds on them! I Sure Hope those were saved! Also, if there was any stained glass windows. I just loved those types of windows. Since you were told what is going in there, 100 individual villas! How many of those beautiful old homes were torn down for the new Many? Were most of the other homes in Bad Shape? Is there not anymore land to develop for housing there locally, convenient to town? Thanks for your videos, they help me see some of Life, Architecture, and the Land Down Under!! I am in a smaller city in New York State, about 4 hours from NY City.
It is a shame that greed and people trained to be movers and shakers..have no sentimentality! The old days and the old ways mean nothing to them. Their mentality..out with the old in with the new! ..No use crying over spillt milk..My daddy would say;What is this world coming to? .. Thanks for this heart wrenching video 👍🙋 🕊️
Thanks for watching L L, It just goes to show developers outlook on history is vastly different from the average citizen......Sad to see it gone. Hopefully others can be saved . cheers :-)
Wow is all I can say, what a shame. Beautiful old house and it gets destroyed. I just looked this place up on the net and on street view. Its sad that a bunch of ugly townhouses are going up in its place.
It makes me cry when I see homes as beautiful as this one being destroyed like this. History is more important than progress. This should be a criminal offense.
Truly sad.. Something was special about house I cried to see it ripped apart.. i cant believe the goverment let it slip through the cracks and not deem it historical The size /the character is just amazing I dont how how this one popped up on my page but it was my absolute favorite since i started watching abandoned places Needed more time to fight this!!!!!
Hi Melanie :-) Yes I still cannot believe this one is gone.......and you will die if you see the hideous boxes that are there now :-( Cheers for watching :-)
12:14 You referred to an old fireplace in the cellar, usually this is not a fire place but a continuation of the chimney for added support. The fancy bits on the ceiling are called ceiling roses. I am fuming, really , this could not get heritage listing, well that is a bit suspicious. Who was involved in the classification for the meaning heritage. I expect it has been demolished by now. I suspect developers who don’t give a s**t. Their taking a while to demolish it because they hope no one notice it disappear. Yes I watched it till the end buggar. Thanks for the record of what was here and what was demolished it may come in handy in future reference when investigating who was involved in it’s destruction. Money changed hands under the table me thinks. 🤬🤬🤬
Thanks Tina! That makes much more sense than an active fireplace down there haha. :-) There is a big push for the logical solution the any building of a certain age automatically get placed on heritage and the burden of proof gets put back to developers on why it should not be protected. It is easy to speculate the fine details and dealings but the fact is this one slipped through and things need to change to protect others. :-) Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 In some fine old homes there are cases where there was a fireplace in the basements where they did canning and to help dry out herbs and things.
Paul, who were the original owners? And how long did this house remain in the family? So sad. Really hurt my heart to watch this video. I would have loved to live in this house. So elegant! Would love to know the info you find out about this home. Thanks again!
@@urbexindigo5164 Arthur Lindsay arrived in South Australia in 1836, as a teenager on board the 'Buffalo', a young surveyor descended from the same family as the Queen; the Royal Scottish Stuart family. In November 1837, with two other men, Lieutenant YB Hutchinson and Thomas Strangways, he was sent overland by Governor Hindmarsh to Encounter Bay and camped under the 'Pioneers' tree', which is still standing on Nettle Hill Road. He began squatting on 'Glen Lindsay' at Hindmarsh Valley in 1838, employing Aboriginal men and women on the farm and as housemaids and nursemaids. Arthur began to take up ownership of land, which included land at Hindmarsh Valley, half of present day Victor Harbor central, all the land from Crozier Road to the Inman River and built 'Edzell House' as a family home on a hill above the Inman in 1872
They should have been charged for criminal vandalism! On the other hand how can Australia's heritage laws become so broken that these irreplaceable buildings that we are so lucky to have just slip through the cracks when it comes to protection. The people that do care and will save them generally can't afford them and the greedy money hungry vandal developers keep snatching them up for the land, it's infuriating! Anyway thanks for filming so many of these wonderful old houses as they are fast disappearing and need to be documented!
I normally watch abandoned explores and don't know how I ended up in Australia, but is so heart breaking. Condolences, from Canada. This was a crime.
Glad you stumbled this way Tanya! :-) Many tears for this old home.........sad fate and such a shame. Thanks for watching :-)
Yes Tanya, heart breaking and a crying shame. My condolences from Arizona, USA. Regards

Urbex Indigo it accepted my name which included my address so let’s hope it’s gone through. I have forgotten my FB password lol but I’ll figure that out and sign the other petition tomorrow. Keep doing these great vids. I’m certain you love these homes that will soon be gone. I love really enjoyed your presentations so we don’t miss something of note. You have a gift.
My 11 yr old grandson just loves the music. It soothes him. Lovely large property. Im feeling negative about the black and white bathroom. Great kitchen. Beautiful explore!
Hi tacobell, glad your Grandson enjoyed that music, it does have a great feel. . Glad you enjoyed this beautiful old home now gone, cheers for watching :-)
Thank you so much for the amazing video.👏👏👏👏👏I do appreciate it.👍😊
My pleasure Anita, glad you enjoyed. Pity such a beauty is gone. :-)
What a Gorgeous spectacular home.... Not sure how I missed this one....The tile in the kitchen was amazing....Oh wow my heart was broken watching the outro....thinking of all the time it took to build a mansion like this and to know in a matter of minutes it was destroyed....So sad for our future generations....
I`m still angry over this one as a lot of people are Heather. I did want to make this a bit emotional so it tugs on the heart strings. Big loss of histories and memories Heather, thanks for watching :-0
Omygod! Such a travesty, such beauty was forsaken! It was glorious, in its day! I have such a passion for classic, historic, items & places. The old pictures say it all!
You said it Tammy! Forsaken by the mighty dollar and obsession of profits........No respect for grand old historical homes. The real estate pics really did this place justice. Thanks for caring and watching Tammy :-)
Everyone says it so well in the comments.....why, this place is beyond beautiful.
Thank you for videoing this place before it became just a pile of bricks.
Yep absolutely Julie, what a shame to lose this house! Thanks for watching :-)
Beautiful house love the before and after pictures.. ❤
Hi Gladys :-) The before pics really do this old grand home the justice it deserve in all her glory. So sad it ended like this. Thanks for watching :-)
She was beautiful. That backyard just went on & on, more to explore around every corner. It's a shame somebody bought it to demolish it. Really good, but sad explore.
Just watched this again!! Cried once again. RIP beautiful girl 🌹💔
Very very sad loss this one Due 😒 Cheers.
Such a SHAME 😓 plus waste of such a beauty... thanks for showing us” around Indy
My pleasure for showing this old girl Greg. So sad knowing it met this harsh fate.........Thanks for watching mate :-)
Omg! I just can't understand why anyone would want to demolish this gorgeous piece of craftsmanship.
Much sadness still over losing this one Risa, thanks for watching :-)
Tearing this down is a sin. I will be more than happy to help you with your petition!!
Thank you! :-) This one was criminal to knock down!
This is absolute vandalism of such an amazingly beautiful home, how could anyone in there right mid destroy such a lovely home, it breaks my heart 😭 how can anyone think a soless modern box is better? I would give my right arm for such a lovely home with all them stunning original features. We get so much of the same vandalism of beautiful places in England too 😔
I don't know if they will accept my signature, but I tried. My grandkids beg me to write about the "old days." The farm I was raised on is covered by condominiums and apartments. My old home and the barns are gone, bulldozed. Not a building on it was younger than 150 years old. It was one of the pioneer homes in the area. Bless you for documenting these vanishing treatures.
Lynne you should put pen to paper and document all you can remember from those days! Valuable information. :-) Thanks for appreciating these old places and for your support. Cheers form Adelaide :-)
It's greed seems to win out over everything now sad but true. Thanks Paul for the look around and I've signed the petition this ridiculous situation cannot be allowed to go unchecked! My home in Nth Qld a tin house was listed as heritage precinct, and yet in SA they overlook this?? A request Paul if you ever get out to the peninsula Moonta area there are really nice bluestone buildings, one place is quite unique I can't recall the town name off the top of my head but would love to see in one.. keep up the great work documenting these old beauties.
Hi Earthbound4now, thanks for watching and signing the petition :-) It seems Tassie and QLD are doing good things to preserve their history. Something SA needs to follow obviously! Moonta sounds good and something to look at for sure! Lots of old bluestone places back in Victoria too I want to get to! Cheers from Adelaide :-)
Definitely a shame. Beautiful place. At least many others get demolished due to being beyond saving but this place looked perfectly sound with just the barest touch ups needed.
Then you see the size of the block it's on and you can understand why developers wanted it. A lot of units on could fit on it.
Hi there!! This house made me so emotional, I cried. I watch a lot of urban explores and this one choked me up. Foolish I guess. The photos of this house are stunning. Unfortunately urban development must go on to provide housing for so many people. The developers don't care about preservation or keeping the existence of history for future generations. It's sad to see this and thank you for showing this beautiful home to us. I hear the passion in your voice and sadness as you show us and tells us about the history. Architectural design and detail will be lost in future buildings. In deed Rest in Pease. Much love.
Hi Ronna, i`m glad you felt that way as I did want that emotion to come through for this old place having to meet an early fate........I just wish they would choose old run down warehouses or something else to knock over instead. I do get passionate about these places and love filming them so thanks for your support and for watching :-)
Too right, that's part of our history. What a wonderful place.
Tear jerker...beautiful home...why in heavens name are they pulling such an amazing home down.....it’s all about money theses days so sad...xxx keep exploring and showing us all these homes xx
Yes sad Jacqueline. And yes a developer got hold of it and it was not protected by heritage........you know the rest. Bummer. Thanks for your support and for watching :-)
The arch is so colorful and beautiful ,yes it need to be saved it's worth it.
Hi Juana :-) I really hope the save the arch!!!!! As you said so beautiful :-) Thanks for watching
It's almost a sin that these "Grand Ladies" fall into the hands of vandals and developers. Makes me mad😡 and sad .😥
Definitely is a sin Connie, many tears shed over the loss of theis one, thanks doe watching :-)
Wow, how sad!! Destroying this beautiful piece of history!! Thank you for your video, well done!
Sad and disturbing Linda!!!! Your right, history down the toilet for profits.......Thanks for caring and watching :-)
This is to beautiful to tear down I bet the workers are saving alot of stuff I know I would but this just makes me want to cry how it was in the photos
Luckily the interiors are being saved Simone but it is still sad....more than sad......I think the front bay window structure may have been saved and relocated also which is one nice gesture.........Thanks for watching :-)
Absolutely a beautiful well loved home. So sad to see the end for her. Nothing modern could ever replace this home.SMH
Such a beautiful place, what a shame it couldn't be saved. Makes me so sad.
Thanks Sue, this one made a lot of people angry and sad. Cheers for watching :-)
Beautiful broken lady...does not deserve the fate that it is slated for.
It was a grand home in grand condition! Ended to early and now gone forever. Sad. Thanks for watching Kathleen :-)
This is just too sad...but a perfect illustration of what those currently in power do and do not value. Once a thing, crafted by skilled hands is gone...there will also come a day when there are no more hands skilled in these ways....and those beauties will be lost for all time 9save in these diaries of yours and those like you. Thank you, you do more of a service to more people than you realize.🖤🇨🇦
I think we are all bewildered by the mindset of developers but that is thier game and they seem immune to sentiment. Just need the people to speak up and force some new measure to protect more and not less. Thanks for your support Tamarra! :-)
Urbex Indigo Always...you are on the right side.🖤🇨🇦
Oh no. Its such a beautiful home too. 😢
Very sad watching it get knocked down Dawn. Thanks for watching :-)
What a jewel to have been demolished. Such beauty and character gone to waste.😢
Well said Bonita, much anger and sadness around this home being treated this way......no gone forever. Thanks for watching :-)
Im really hurt abandoning this beautiful well built home..Im happy if preseved for tourist attraction..d living room is so nice ,d style is unique.strong material ,wood n bricks..OMG Im sad..
there were many tears and much anger over this one being demolished Mama mIa, they dont make them like they used to and certainly not like this one. Cheers for watching :-)
Beautiful home. So sad.It has been well loved and looked after.:(
Lots of sadness and anger over this one going down Joan, thanks for watching :-)
:'( This is so disheartening. At least we can see it through your video. Thanks!
There are so many worldwide...so many reusable resources left to rot...😖
Looks like some of this one was recycled, at least.
This place was fantastic!
Thank you for documenting it. Thumbs up.👍
One good thing is yes they salvaged a lot of the interiors Leisa :-) But in the scheme of it all it should have been protected as its age alone should automatically qualify for protection. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching :-)
Beautiful, as always. Such a shame that it was torn down.
Many old Victorian home were made with Arsenic in the walls. Reason most were abandoned.
Love the architecture.
Yes I have heard that Mansard Manor. The old Blue Stones were also poisonous apparently . Thanks for watching :-)
Thanks so much for sharing this 👍
My pleasure Sharmaine, glad you enjoyed , thanks for watching :-)
Hallo Paul...this place is really nice and spacious the villa are still very good
Hi R Shinta :-) This beautiful old home has now been sadly demolished.......Thanks for watching :-)
This home was truly something that should have been cherished and not demolished. All that beauty and artistry.....gone......for the life of me I will NEVER understand such waste.
I could barely watch. Heartbroken . . . Somebody put a lot of love into that house!
Hi. Oh man, this just sickens me. They’re destroying these beautiful old historical homes, i stead of preserving them. I’ll sign the petition, and I live in the U.S.. i could not watch the last portion of this beautiful home being demolished. It just sickens and saddens me to no end.
Thanks for caring and signing Lifeof aMom :-) It is shameful and sad to see this one gone forever. Thanks for watching! Cheers from Adelaide! :-)
I don't understand why this Beautiful Home is being torn down. Oviously from the Realtor pictures, what is left of paint, wallpaper, and architecture, this was a well cared for home! Is there something being built in this area? Thanks for showing it!
You are correct in wondering why Brenda as it was in grand condition and well loved and maintained!!!!!! Unfortuantely a change of hands meant it got snapped up by developers........and the rest is lost history.........80-100 small units are going in there........Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 thanks for your reply! I just Love those styles of homes. I am So Glad the fireplace surrounds and most of the wooden floor boards are being repurposed!When you took us around you showed at least one or two vent covers that were Very Beautiful with birds on them! I Sure Hope those were saved! Also, if there was any stained glass windows. I just loved those types of windows. Since you were told what is going in there, 100 individual villas! How many of those beautiful old homes were torn down for the new Many? Were most of the other homes in Bad Shape? Is there not anymore land to develop for housing there locally, convenient to town? Thanks for your videos, they help me see some of Life, Architecture, and the Land Down Under!! I am in a smaller city in New York State, about 4 hours from NY City.
It is a shame that greed and people trained to be movers and shakers..have no sentimentality! The old days and the old ways mean nothing to them. Their mentality..out with the old in with the new! ..No use crying over spillt milk..My daddy would say;What is this world coming to? .. Thanks for this heart wrenching video 👍🙋 🕊️
Thanks for watching L L, It just goes to show developers outlook on history is vastly different from the average citizen......Sad to see it gone. Hopefully others can be saved . cheers :-)
Such a shame this butifull building was demolished it was such a lovely house with all that land An pool area some lovely features xx
So sad how a piece of our history is just destroyed so easily! So very sad 😭😢😔
Well said Xtine10, many community tears were shed over this one......still sad. Cheers for watching :-)
Wow is all I can say, what a shame. Beautiful old house and it gets destroyed. I just looked this place up on the net and on street view. Its sad that a bunch of ugly townhouses are going up in its place.
What a shame to have such a beautiful, historical home destroyed.
Hi Dayna, a dam shame indeed! Thanks for watching :-)
Such beauty destroyed ..I almost cried ....I can sign the petition for sure but I live in Canada so not sure if it would count
It will count. I'm from Maryland. Every name will show that PEOPLE CARE about saving bits of history. Thank you for signing...I did also and donated.
Thanks Sherrie, if it counts all well and good, it will still show the numbers of people hopefully. :-) Cheers from Adelaide :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 I signed it ....I hope it helps ...best of luck
😥😥😥😥 mi piange il cuore ❤❤❤❤ video stupendo , grazie per queste testimonianze di un bellissimo passato.
These homes have awesome craftsmanship. The people that have this talent are gone.
I'm so sorry. Who would want to tear this down?!
Developers got hold of it and are putting up 80-100 small units in its place..........Bummer!!!!!
@@urbexindigo5164 From what I've heard about shady building developers in Australia, you should be thankful it's not highrises.
Architectural details in this place are amazing!!! Shame its demise.
Love the fence post top and entry patio!
So many little a larger than life feature to be admired here Cheryle :-) Glad you liked, thanks for watching :-)
It makes me cry when I see homes as beautiful as this one being destroyed like this. History is more important than progress. This should be a criminal offense.
How sad! Such beauty destroyed.
Gone forever.......Thanks for watching! :-)
Oh wow. Just wow. This is stunning and I am in bits :(
What a shame , smh ,such beauty,destroyed . . It was so majestic ,don’t understand the greed of some ,to destroy such a heirloom of beauty 😢
Truly sad..
Something was special about house
I cried to see it ripped apart.. i cant believe the goverment let it slip through the cracks and not deem it historical
The size /the character is just amazing
I dont how how this one popped up on my page but it was my absolute favorite since i started watching abandoned places
Needed more time to fight this!!!!!
Hi Melanie :-) Yes I still cannot believe this one is gone.......and you will die if you see the hideous boxes that are there now :-( Cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 thx for video of the place
U really did a great job!
Looking forward to more of urs
Stay safe out there..
12:14 You referred to an old fireplace in the cellar, usually this is not a fire place but a continuation of the chimney for added support. The fancy bits on the ceiling are called ceiling roses. I am fuming, really , this could not get heritage listing, well that is a bit suspicious. Who was involved in the classification for the meaning heritage. I expect it has been demolished by now. I suspect developers who don’t give a s**t. Their taking a while to demolish it because they hope no one notice it disappear. Yes I watched it till the end buggar. Thanks for the record of what was here and what was demolished it may come in handy in future reference when investigating who was involved in it’s destruction. Money changed hands under the table me thinks. 🤬🤬🤬
Thanks Tina! That makes much more sense than an active fireplace down there haha. :-) There is a big push for the logical solution the any building of a certain age automatically get placed on heritage and the burden of proof gets put back to developers on why it should not be protected. It is easy to speculate the fine details and dealings but the fact is this one slipped through and things need to change to protect others. :-) Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 In some fine old homes there are cases where there was a fireplace in the basements where they did canning and to help dry out herbs and things.
yes very sad was a beautiful house at one point pity it wasent saved
It sure was Kim. Cheers for watching :-)
Well this made me cry.
Hi Avalon Indigo! Yes lots of tears and anger over this homes fate.......Sad. Cheers for watching :-)
The historical society should have tried to save it . There was so much history and artistry we have all lost.
They tried really hard Beverly but unfortunately the devloper knocked it down in a hurry, Assholes! lol, thanks for watching :-)
You do the most wonderful videos. you are the best
A casa continua linda!Infelizmente estão destruindo e levando os objetos que são verdadeiras obras de arte.
Hi rinite, thanks for watching :-)
this house need to be renovated not demolished, what a pity
Absolutely correct elmin82, thanks for watching :-0
Paul, who were the original owners? And how long did this house remain in the family? So sad. Really hurt my heart to watch this video. I would have loved to live in this house. So elegant! Would love to know the info you find out about this home. Thanks again!
Such a shame :( It looks like it was an awesome house
Very awesome place and history to match Rhonda.......sad to see it gone. Thanks for watching :-)
My heart is crushed
, Crying
This house was to good to demolish, The real-estate photos prove how nice it was. Such a shame and appalling someone doesn't care for it.
Well said WattMaster 🙂 Cheers for watching 🙂👍
I lived in a similar era house known as Edzell House before being demolished for sub development. An important house in Victor Harbor.
Another dam shame! :-(
@@urbexindigo5164 Arthur Lindsay arrived in South Australia in 1836, as a teenager on board the 'Buffalo', a young surveyor descended from the same family as the Queen; the Royal Scottish Stuart family.
In November 1837, with two other men, Lieutenant YB Hutchinson and Thomas Strangways, he was sent overland by Governor Hindmarsh to Encounter Bay and camped under the 'Pioneers' tree', which is still standing on Nettle Hill Road.
He began squatting on 'Glen Lindsay' at Hindmarsh Valley in 1838, employing Aboriginal men and women on the farm and as housemaids and nursemaids.
Arthur began to take up ownership of land, which included land at Hindmarsh Valley, half of present day Victor Harbor central, all the land from Crozier Road to the Inman River and built 'Edzell House' as a family home on a hill above the Inman in 1872
I too want to cry 😥 history gone 😥
Gone forever Mim......thanks for watching :-)
Beautiful property, so sad it's getting torn down
What a sin that gorgeous place was torn down. Just an unbelievable waste, what were they thinking?
They were thinking profit and profit only Lois! Such a waste and loss of our local history!!!!!! Thanks for watching :-)
Not enough people appreciate these beautiful old historic homes
They should have been charged for criminal vandalism! On the other hand how can Australia's heritage laws become so broken that these irreplaceable buildings that we are so lucky to have just slip through the cracks when it comes to protection. The people that do care and will save them generally can't afford them and the greedy money hungry vandal developers keep snatching them up for the land, it's infuriating! Anyway thanks for filming so many of these wonderful old houses as they are fast disappearing and need to be documented!
History is the most important EVER
sad loss Mack
Well said Charles! A shame others do not see the same value in preserving it. Or at least the ones that deserve it! Thanks for watching :-)
We don't know what we got untill it is gone!
Beautiful place ♥️

Absoultely mon`s DZARREL :-) Well said and thanks for watching :-)
