Incredible Forgotten Soon to be Torn Down 124 year old House Up North in New York

- Beautiful second empire style house built in 1897. Very unique house with the mansard roof and the turret along the top right side. Really incredible stone fireplace and staircase which will all be repurposed. So atleast even though it’s being torn down it won’t go too waste. The house has a really bad mold problem unfortunately. Glad I was able to document it and save it on film. Thank you for watching
The attic was the best part of the house. What a shame to see part of America's history get torn down.
Attic was the nicest part and seemed more intact as well! Shame to know it will be destroyed soon.
Except it was not an attic; it was a third floor. I'm not sure why he called it an attic.
This was in better shape than a lot of homes we've toured together, so why didn't somone turn into a B & B or something? Once history is gone, it can't be replaced! Thank you, Kappy and Ruby!
Black mold.
@@beckyhigh Even without the black mold one would still have to ask, what sort of attractions are around this particular area? If it's mostly just farmland or nothing at all then I'd imagine not many would want to rent out this house as an Air B & B.
If the area has no attractions ? aB&B doesn’t survive
@@lauramcgowan3740 I know. I'm just thinking-wishing, actually-of ways some of thiese homes could be saved.
I agree. I thought I heard highway noise though. Even without it, some weirdos like me would totally go to a rustic bnb on a nice piece of land just to get away from it all. My company even books places like this for corporate retreats.
I could literally cry! All these old, beautiful homes all demolished. Lives were lived here, so sad. Thank you both for showing us these houses we would otherwise never get to see!
@jeffreyhanna9538 I know that practically a lot of these houses have not been kept up and are not cost effective to rehab, but that makes it even more tragic to me.
So PRETTY!! It’s sad people don’t want to preserve history anymore. Such a beautiful home! Thanks Kappy for bringing these amazing finds to us before they’re all gone. You’re the best! Stay safe!😊
Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
So much history and a beautiful home. It makes me sick at heart that it will be torn down!!
The upkeep and maintenance on these big old homes is way too expensive. Plus heating and cooling costs in addition to the property taxes makes these big old homes too expensive for someone to save, especially when a third of the country is homeless. I don’t believe taxpayer money should be used to restore these big old homes either. It’s just not right. If a rich person wants to buy and renovate it….more power to them. We need affordable housing in this country more than we need to save these huge monstrosities.
@Penelope Lopez Too bad they can't turn some of these old buildings into multiple housing for the homeless. These old monstrosities have so much more character and aesthetic appeal than the new homes that they're cramming onto every square inch of available space these days.
Horrible, is nothing sacred anymore? Such a gorgeous house, piece of history, Love the fireplace pocket doors, built-in's, chandler.... Yet, to be demo'd?? Ok, got mold, can be corrected
I totally Agree I,m A Drywaller it could be saved and restored call in the roofers not the demolition
Its rare
Just a Huge Thank You to those who agree..
Agreed so i guess they're tearing it down to build a strip mall we all need more of those
@@barryfowler1736 in australia ...next door neighbour had to strip house totally inside including attic and had fumigating and special heat lamps for months to get rid of black mould...
So sad all these built to last homes only needed someone to love and care for them! They are coming down everywhere. The newer built homes will last far less time because they are built so substandard. Thanks Kappy for documenting their existence. They will never be built again like this and it's a crying shame.
This is a wonderful home! I don’t feel there is enough damage to warrant it’s demo! It should be saved! Thanks Kappy for getting to it!
Someone will probably put up an ugly apartment building ...they can profit more.....very tragic
.....
A cheap looking house is being built in this spot
I had a house built in 1898 they actually had trouble tearing it down it was built so well
Yeah today one bulldozer does it all...!!
@@MarJo333 Or 15 years of 'normal' use, then a 50 mph wind, then the bulldozer piles it up! Once the ground resettles (one month later) another is built in its place...
There was a tornado this past summer that went up a valley, it flattened two houses that were almost brand new. It hit a really old farm house, the only damage was to the porch and a single broken window.
Nobody want to live there middle of no where. You mite think it be nice but solitary living?
That means "supposedly" that it was being torn down before it's time. So very sad. Im sorry tp hear that.
🐾🐾 The small internal window of the 2nd floor toilet allows light into the hallway which would otherwise have been blocked with the installation of the new wall.
That is quite a place. Looks like it could be saved. (I've seen worse houses that were occupied) Lots of rooms, love the 3rd floor! Thanks for sharing.
Much better shape than the old farm house I'm living in right now. Lol
Third floor was my favorite too all the kitchen gadgets show the lady of the house at some point in time was a canner and preserver saw several canning items including the one box of canning jars. Kitchen sadly was too modernized looks like 70's theme hate those islands. The 2nd floor the rooms looked so small. Anna In Ohio
Make some apartments in it. Love it
I absolutely love this house. The fireplace built- ins were amazing. There were alot of cool vintage and antique items in it too. I hate to hear they are tearing it down! The normal creepy basement, but other than that, I could live there! Thanks Kappy for another great explore. ✌
Oh yes that fireplace was awesome and the cook stove in it. Loved that. Anna In Ohio
Kappy loves his doorknobs and ancient cupboard hardware! It charms my kindred spirit.
Totally fixable, with not even that much effort. Solid, solid, solid. I personally don't like mansard roofs but someone who does should totally restore it.
Stunning 😍 Thanks Kappy and Ruby !
I believe the doors built in to the fire place on both sides were wood storage. They should have doors outside that you load wood in and fill from outside so you don't have to drag dirty logs in the house. We had a fireplace like that at our last home and we loved it.
They were for warming food...
The thing you called a car radio on the third floor was/is a CB. That spot in the corner of the basement was likely where the heating oil tank was. Those have to be removed before demolition begins. It's a cool place that could've been saved but now is going to be demolished for a probable housing tract that'll have all the charm and character of a 5 lb bag of mulch.
More likely the coal bin.
@@michaelbaker602 That's also possible.
Would the “built-ins “ on each side of the fireplace would have been used to store firewood?
@@saddleupvickysue1412 Either that or for more heat distribution. Not sure on that either. >.
The walls on the third floor are thick because they were set for dormer installation. I am a Chief Engineer for the Federal Government. When you shoot the videos try to get a shot of the radiators. We trades guys like to see if they are steam or hot water radiators. The steam will have the chrome looking egg shape air release bleeders on the side to let air out as steam comes in to fill the radiator. The hot water radiators will not have that. Maybe get a good shot of the boiler and comment on the make of the boiler. The rest of the video was good. Maybe a shot of the hinges on the old doors. Great job. It is to bad they tear down the old houses. John.
Too bad the owners didn’t put this house on the National Register of Historic Homes. They may have been able to get a grant to restore it. 😢
They also must follow certain rules to be on the Registry. Among other things, they may have had to restore the kitchen to its original layout. Any improvements must be approved by the Registry.
You are 100% right. So very sad. People aren't thinking 🤔 This home would still be standing through many more storms where the newly built homes crumble like a box of match sticks. If only the same pride was put into home building now. It isn't like people aren't paying for that quality yet they certainly aren't receiving the quality that they're paying an arm and a leg for. Now its how cheap can they build it for PROFIT is what's important now.
I'm sure that was considered being so old/historic. There looks to be so much mold that would have to be torn out. As they say with cars in accidents, they rather total out instead of paying for repairs. It's just so costly, not to mention our inflation that is the highest in 40 yrs. My friend built a house in AZ and said wood and even cheap particle board were up 70%. Really hard to believe until one experiences it personally. I love these beautiful historic homes and want to purchase my own. I wish we didnt' have to tear down but it all comes down to the cash 😟
@@shirleybuck6918 This is Hades, not heaven or hell. Look how men really are and you couldn't ask for more. People of goodness will move on and learn/finish growing in third heaven. We really don't need wickedness to learn and grow. We will reap what we sow. Here we are. Let's move up and leave Hades behind. Merry Christmas everyone. Peace.
@@jwilcox4726 Where did this come from regarding my comment???
So sad it will be gone soon such a pretty old home . Looks like a older man and woman lived here and loved antiques . The basement was a man's work shop at one time sad his table saw was still there the dust from the last wood he ran through it was still on it. Looks like people came in and took what they wanted and left the rest behind ....... Looks like they died and know one wanted the house and it sat empty and neglected now this is her fate sad some people don't appreciate theses wonderful old homes and the craftsmanship in them they are all pretty in there own way . Thank you Kappy for documenting this while it is still here great job. 👍👍
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words!! :)
They probably weren't antiques when they owned them. Probably were new then. Looked like the lady of the house canned. Would love all the old canning things. I've been canning for 43 years. Since I got married. And helped my gram and mom before that as a kid. Too bad they are tearing it down. Probably to put up ugly tract homes.
The neglect and loss of these historical homes really infuriates me as we send billions away in foreign aid. We are a young country and don't have ancient buildings, this is what we've got and they are being lost! Makes me crazy.
I agree completely
Me too your not alone and I cannot understand that who has the right to take these down?
Truth, Thank you..
The fact of the matter is people aren't interested in the up keep of these mansions. The cost is too prohibitive. This particular building also has an extensive mold issue very unhealthy. There could be other issues too such as asbestos and layers of old lead paint.
@@Contessa6363 u know u say that, but it's funny how u can go to the UK or Ireland or France and buy a house like this and the cost to repair and update plumbing, wiring and central heat and new kitchens and bathrooms are still cheaper then it is to tear this down and build a new house. So why in the USA is it so hard? Why does it cost more then in Europe? Hell in the UK the government will give grants to people for historical buildings like this to be made liveable again. USA has got some serious issues with preserving history for some reason. What r we so afraid of?
Beautiful old house. So terrible that it's being knocked down or has been knocked down. It should of been saved for historical reasons. It was salvageable. You can't build houses like that kind anymore. We use to own a house that was over 100 years old you could not drive a nail through the stud. It's a really sound house. Fortunately, we sold it to a family who cares and loves the old house. We need to do more of that. Respect these old homes, caring for them. ☺❤👍
I don’t know why I keep watching these videos. I am always so sad at the end. This could still be a beautiful home
Me too, but at least they're getting seen before they're gone!
Such a beautiful home. Still has so much life left in it bummer its getting torn down would of loved to had it.
This house is lovely. The built in's , wood floors and bow window's, I love. The house had good vibes and seemed to have been well taken care of at one time. Such a shame it was abandoned, would love to have. Thanks for sharing. The second home was real nice as well. The mantles we're awesome n the stained glass window. Seeing everything left behind, sad. I always wonder what the story is of the families who left n why.
Sorry when I mentioned the 2nd house, I was watching video on tv n it had went to another n I didn't realize,🙃
Oh wow all BRICK too...it was beautiful house back in the day GAWD, the fireplace alone and the all hardwood floors....you can tell, shame they couldn't preserve it thru the historical society.😢
A lot of light for the 3rd floor too. Seems to be the best floor for being in pretty good condition.
That is so sad someone didn't fix that up. Such a beautiful home.
If my husband and I had come across this lovely gem before we moved to PA, well, we would still be living in NY! I am officially depressed, knowing she is slated for demolition! My God, I've actually LIVED in far worse places! The roof must be in really good condition, as I did not notice any serious damage to the ceilings. I was surprised that the further up you went, the better the overall condition of the home! Thank you so much Kappy for sharing this beauty with us!
This house was in PA
The fireplace is beautiful. Can’t have a old house without a piano. Lol It’s so sad these beautiful homes were never kept up. It would definitely have lasted another 100 years. Great find Kappy!
Great house, loved the style. That huge stone fireplace was so cool. Mansard roofs are my favorite, as are pocket doors. My only issue? Painting all that gorgeous woodwork!!!!!
I agree- I hate to see beautiful woodwork painted over. But hey, paint can be stripped!
How you tour these homes, showing the beauty of them, makes it a pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Beautiful place!! So glad ruby goes with you!!! Can’t wait for the upcoming houses!! Thank you Kappy and Ruby!!!!!
There are a few spots that need major fixing, but on the whole, I'd say it's still inhabitable.
Would've LOVED to see this way back in the day when people (family) actually lived here. This is incredible! I could only imagine how they lived on this vast property with children running and laughing, playing in these rooms, while mother is cooking or whatever. Thanks for your home tours! Keep up your great work!
Too bad the lower floors weren’t in the same shape as the top floor.
It’s virtually pristine up there!
Great house. I don't understand why there is so much water damage on the second floor when the third floor is so perfect. Thanks for showing that cool springhouse. Thanks, Kappy
Love the hardware on the doors and cabinets. Love the lack of graffiti. Very odd looking to have such a new light bulb in such an old chandelier. The pocket doors are such a cool feature, and it's nice to see that there are so many. Cool old radiator and pretty staircase. I think that those window sills are the widest I have ever seen. That is just amazing. The condition of this house is amazing. I am also amazed at the completely random things that people leave behind. Cool basement. And I seldom say that. But, I like that there was lots of natural light. The chimney is just stunning. I have never seen one like that. The whole HOUSE impressed me. It's just so solid. And yeah, I'm freaked out for your guys! It's the wind. But, you two are 'supposed' to be alone in the house. I would be jumpy, too. Thanks for sharing. Cool place, glad you got to see it before it's gone.
I'm glad they let you film before it was torn down. To bad you couldn't find a drawing or something in the local library about the house. I wish it could have been saved. I was hoping they'd save the architectural pieces. Just so sad.
You sound so much happier, exploring with your ‘chica’! I just love this large house, so sad it has to be gone soon 🥺
The second floor was very odd. It looked like some amateur tried "remodelng" the floor plan and made it very awkward. The third floor seemed much larger and in better condition. It's too bad whoever had started repairing it --judging by paint cans and stuff left around--had to quit.
Easy to rip out the crappy remodel stuff. Like the 70's kitchen. I would love to redo that house. I can just imagine what a beauty it would be. That fireplace doesn't look old. And doesn't match the house. I think it was added much later. Like the 60's or 70's. That woodstove looks like a Schrader which was popular in the 70's. I'd put one back to match the house with brick like the outside. And an older looking mantel.
It has nice windows...and brick..very pretty. I really love the outside. The inside isnt that bad..really enjoying it thanks for sharing!
It's not in that bad of shape, what a shame it's being torn down. I love these old houses so much. Thanks again Kappy!!
Realistically, you cannot tell from seeing a small photo of a house if it's sound. Does the roof need replacing, is the wiring safe, how about the plumbing, is the foundation in need of renewal after 130 years, is there mold in the walls, is it even insulated? Does every window and door leak wind and rain, are the chimneys still safe, are the floors safe? There's so many questions. How much would the heating bill be, and what person wants to clean 3 floors, what would a person do with all those room? I think I would think twice before ever asking for this house although I can see that it was once a beauty and is a reminder of a long gone era.
Such a beautiful old home. It's awful that it will be torn down. It can still be saved. I love the pocket doors and the built-ins these old homes had. The 3rd floor was actually very nice. These old houses had an abundance of character, and CRAFTSMANSHIP! Nothing today can match these old beauties!
Another fine explore! I expected the basement to be bigger considering the size of the house. 😊
Dang. Seeing the dozer sitting outside means the owner didnt even get out the beautiful hardware or anything out of it. Super sad. Those leaded windows! I would have had to ask if I could have those! Not only beautiful, and worth a little money, but the craftsmanship! Have you ever looked up how those are made? I was lucky and got to see a master do some lead windows. Pretty interesting. Well young man, you've hit another home run with this video! Keep up the great work! Has Rubie any interest in filming. You 2 could team up and have two versions of what interests separates you. Just a thought. Thanks for taking me along! Enjoyed watching!
I have made leaded windows during my stained glass phase. It is a lot of work. Cutting the glass, fitting the copper foil, cutting the lead caning to fit then soldiering it all. Then putting the fill in between the glass and caning. Yes it's alot of work. I stopped because I hated cutting myself with the sharp edges of glass. Even with a glass grinder they would get you before you even knew it.
@@loritanner4478 admirable to say the least! All I did was watch and loved every minute!
Did not notice the construction equipment but that helps explain to me why so many things were left behind. It was a mixture of newer items. I wonder what the most recent owners plans for the house were. There were so many shelves and kitchen items
It's driving me crazy, I sure would have liked to know what those thick books upstairs were about!! There is SO much beautiful wood that could be repurposed, the house must have been something in her day. Thanks Kappy, keep them coming!
I always want to see the books! I encourage explorers to show the books up close so we viewers can see the titles. Knowing what the occupants read can give important information about those people. I didn't get a good look but my guess is the the thick books were some kind of reference work.
I saw your comment before I watched and I paused at the books and the two big books were a catalog for 1957 stamp collection identification

Beautiful house! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Omg its still livable. Just needs love thanks so much for share
Again my dream house...Ive always wanted and old victorian
I especially like the old spring houses. So much history! Ty Kappy
Love this house to bad it is going to be torn down. The style of the house is beautiful. Thank you for showing it.
That's the house we needed when i was growing up. 7 kids. All those bedrooms!!!
Glad they are at least saving some parts of this place hopefully also alot of the pots and pans and things too. An estate sale on them give someone else a chance to enjoy. Have a great day
What a gorgeous house 🏠😍. I love everything about it 😍❤. Such a shame that it's going to be torn 😢 down. Stay safe 👌👍🙏❤💓
Makes me sad seeing history the unique and hard labor put into this home to be torn down!
Urban Exploring With Kappy Thanks for sharing with me this video about Incredible Forgotten Soon to be Torn Down 124 year old House Up North in New York it was a really nice video i really enjoyed it my friend and i can't to see yournext video and God Bless
This is the type of vintage living we all need to go back to. There was never anytype of global warming anyone ever worried about back then. Children were taught to work, farming the land and eating your own harvest, enjoying the earth and clean air.
Glad to see nobody completely thrashed the place. Even if it's being torn down, at least videos like this will leave a record of what once was.
I really want those radiators. I would definitely sandblast them and switch them out with the ones in my house. Great video! Cheers ✌
It's sad that those houses are going away they were still good houses back in the day they don't make houses like that anymore
That is exactly why it is so sad- they don't make them like that anymore!!
I hope they rescue the period pieces! Very nice home, that once was in the day!🇨🇦❤️
Such a shame that no one was able to save this place. However, I think that someone has tried to remodel this place. Thanks for bringing this place to us, Kappy. Great job 👍
A beautiful scenery at the end 🥰😃
Same colors we have in our farmhouse. Ours redone 25 years ago (used "heritage" colors popular then).
Thanks Urban exploring with kappy or sharing with me this video about Incredible Forgotten Soon to be Torn Down 124 year old House Up North in New York it was a very interesting video and God Bless and thanks again i really enjoyed it my friend.
Loved this old place, lot's of rooms for a huge family. Thank you for sharing this historic site.
Thank You for sharing this one with Us. This was once a very Beautiful and Spectacular home too bad it is being torn down. I would want to have an abatement crew go in and get rid of all of the mold and the lead paint. Then I would go in and restore it to its former glory. Obviously, there must not be good bones to the place or it could be preserved.
Would love to have saw this house back in it's younger days but it's still beautiful thank you n Ruby for taking me along on this tour with you love you both.
Thank you Kappy, these are wonderful little time capsules of information.
🐾🐾 Masks like the one in the upstairs bedroom are drama masks or theatre masks used in plays depicting comedy, drama, tragedy. Nothing unusual. 😄
It looks like a Mardi Gras decorative mask from the French Quarter in New Orleans. I had two of them. They have sold them there for decades.
It’s too bad they’re tearing this gem in history down!! I hope they at least plan on salvaging the fixtures and wood from inside before dozing it down! So sad to see history lost this way….
Thanks for showing us before it’s gone.👍
Very enjoyable!
Thank you!!
Lovely old home. Beautiful flooring. I’d love to have seen the pocket doors pulled out. The wood was beautiful. The stone fireplace - l just have a feeling that it isn’t original. A fireplace from this era, l think would have had the traditional wooden mantel and sides. It just looks short and chunky and not in keeping with the house. I know l could be wrong here. Just an observation. Thank you.
It's a shame to tear down a beautiful old house like this. It's still in very restorable condition. I live in a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1887.
Next time I need a house to restore, I'm going to check in with you....
You find all of the good ones!
That ceiling down in the basement looks like it’s going to cave in.
Thanks for sharing. I love looking in these old places.
Appreciate you showing us the basement in the Attic.
I
I lived in a home built in 1867 . Still standing, it’s in miraculous condition, my dad renovated it with some help , it’s in the Historical Registrar in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. History is amazing, especially the architectural history.
Wonderful job with the explore. Thanks Kappy and Ruby .
Another amazing home being torn down. Thank you both for filming and sharing!
What a beautiful old house.
Beautiful house. How sad that someone has chosen to destroy It.
What a crying shame!
So beautiful to bad they couldn't save it!!! Has so much beauty and natural character, charming thank you!!
This was a lovely home with many features and hardware which will be lost if it is destroyed. I wish I could buy it and restore it. When I was young we lived in a house from the 1700s for a year while our new house was built. It was a grand place with many built ins including lovely china cabinets in our dining room. The basement was stone and rose higher with a dirt floor. My father was going to buy it, but my mother wanted a new home. I appreciate old period structures and their history.
That was awesome! I love the basements and attics to see the old primitive hand hewn beams and anything old. Love it!
these old homes were built so sturdy!
What a house I could just imagine it all fixed up real nice I love old homes such great style they have not like today’s open concept homes❤️
It's a shame this beautiful old house couldn't be left and preserved as someone house in the development. It could be done but shows a lack of concern with developers. The materials from this place should at least be salvaged not just torn down and hauled off or burn. Old materials bring high prices and can be used in other restoration but l would love to see it saved and made a home. Thanks for sharing!
Love it! I have always wanted a victorian house. With period furniture this would be amazing. I would love to decorate this house.
I will never understand why people tear down beautiful old historic homes. This house is in pretty good shape and wouldn't take that much money to restore it.
The small doors besidr the wood stove is a place to put wood. I think!
I Love your style! I can tell how much you love these old houses and the history surrounding them! Bravo!
This is one of the best.Beautiful home.
Just beautiful
Enjoyed your montage of pics at the end. Thanks! Nice
You are getting spooked from the sound of the wind while I was thinking it was music to me ears, reminding of a time past when I used to enjoy listening to the howling winds during hard snowstorms.
Thanks for posting these videos.
I’ll bet this was one beautiful house back in the day .. thanks for sharing beautiful house.
Watching your shows makes me happy. Since I first subscribed not long ago, I am slowly making my way through your playlist. I still think it hilarious how you find things scary. Gives me a chuckle. Thank you for posting!
I hope they can salvage what they can before it is torn down. So many nice windows, hardware, and even furniture. Would be a shame just to bulldoze it down.
A beautiful style home. Great find.
Wow. What a waste. I guess there was no way to save this? It seems like the damage to the house was due to plumbing problems rather than a bad roof. Can you imagine the people who moved into this house and lived there when it was brand new? It's definitely the details on old houses I notice - like the details on the porch, the moldings under the edge of the roof, the fireplace & chimney. They actually put "1897" on the side of the house?? Was this some kind of famous place, or owned by wealthy people maybe? Why wasn't this place taken care of better?? No railings going up to the attic or down to the basement! This was an incredible find! Somehow a cold windy day in the late fall seems appropriately symbolic for the end of this house's life. Sorry to see it go - but glad you filmed this!
That home I'm sure was beautiful at one time and it looks as if someone was trying to renovate or update it. That black mold you see on the drywall may have more to due with its country of origin than with moisture. Chinese drywall used in the construction boom of the early 2000's has been the source of lawsuits and complaints in at least 20 states. That being said, it's sad how quickly buildings go to pot for lack of a good roof. Thanks for the upload.
Great house. Too bad it couldn't be saved. I wish you had opened the doors on that fireplace to see what was inside. But it was a gorgeous fireplace.
That house is so awesome!
The third floor was the best part of the house in much better condition. Loved all the solid wood doors, fespecially the pocket doors, that should all be salvaged before it is torn down. Thanks for the tour.
Wow . This house must of been very pretty at one time the remnants of which are still visible even in this state . So sad again history is being lost due to neglect and possibly greed . The details in the woodwork and the real style the house had . The view from the upper floors just amazing . Could that stone building on the outside have been the original well house ? or cold storage ? When you tour these places I always think about what they must of ben like . I’m wondering if the third floor was added as the family expanded beyond the confines of the second floor ? Yes imagine on a warm spring , summer or fall day sitting on those window sills readings a book . Wonder how many people including children had done this at this home ? The house must of been remodelled at some point because the lack of fireplaces and chimneys does not seem consistent with the age of the home . There is no way that one fireplace could of heated that entire home .
As always thank you and now your partner Ruby for documenting these old homes before they are lost to either age or developers .
