why do losers have to go and smash the place up and vandalize? wouldn't it be nice to see it the way it was? The minute the elements get to the finishes it falls apart.
Original comment. Not like the other 900. Can anyone say something different than the stupid vandal shit
@@matthew-oe2ur - because it's a fact...you're probably one of those sick childish vandles. The comment bothers you.
@@virginiaryno2631 yea that's it! You got it babe! Great character judging! Haa your a dummy. I'm sure I said something because you said some stupid unoriginal comment that a hundred other people said. Aren't capable of an original thought even if it hit ya on the head.
@@matthew-oe2ur - don't deflect. You're pointing fingers while having 3 fingers pointing back at you. Moron. Everyone has a right to their opinion. You know what they say about opinions and you deary have one too asshole.
@@virginiaryno2631 oh jeez. I'm high watching a movie and relaxing. Don't bother me I promise. I just like talkin shit and see who bites. Your are lucky contestant this morning. But 4 real my analogy is way more legit than yours now c'mon. Your 1 of hundreds saying the same original comment on the video. The only thing you got is I might be somebody that does something which u can't prove. I on the other hand have proved you are just the same as all the others with nothing better to think of to say. So I got ya beat on this one. So c'mon now just accept it and move forword. Your better then that.
The detail in old houses 😍 modern homes are so plain.
Modern homes are so plain and built so cheap it's sad not even worth the amount people are paying for them new.
People used to build houses that were meant to be for the rest of their lives. Now people, marriages, homes etc are disposable.
Penny Tumey people?
@@positivelypenny1392 Makes sense in a capitalist society
Modern houses are just glasses and bricks...easily destroyed.
The original owner died in 1980? So he was 125? The original owner died in 1876 in Queens, not in the house.
The house was also not a “Gatsby” design- it was THE Gatsby design said to have influenced F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book The Great Gatsby, based in part on the large, extravagant parties the second owner was throwing for his friends after purchasing the home in 1911- he was the heir to the company that created Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.
Houses designed before the Great Gatsby would not have been called Gatsby homes. The Great Gatsby was written in 1924, and released in 1925, and based greatly on the Roaring 20’s. The parties were inspired by the house, not the house by the book. John Handler was the last owner, and he died in the home in 2008, not 1980. His wife died in the home in 2006 after drowning in the pool.
If you lived near me, I would want to have tea with you. Your knowledge of this property is impressive. :)
So then...what happens to it now? Cant purchase it or state owns it?
Tara Chatterton/Eachus a place like this is kind of a money hole everyone with the money to buy it probably wouldn’t make a profit because there’s gonna be asbestos and lead to deal with so unless some eccentric millionaire wants to save or it becomes a historical site it it’s probably just gonna be left to fall down eventually

@@jenc9532 Well ur right there jen. It's just a shame . So many buildings homes etc. That could be used to create better situations cant be used bc of those reasons. Thanks for the information.
I could only imagine how beautiful the house was in its good days.
Yes I heard it.
The people who originally owned this property had to be crazy wealthy.
Karma
Natalia what😂😂 she literally didn’t mention race, but go off I guess
@Natalia - your opinion matters 0 to me. You know what they say about them asshole.
@@virginiaryno2631 Slaveowners in New York in 1855? I doubt it. New York outlawed slavery years earlier.
@@clintdavis9511 who cares I still think the place should be demolished and used for the poor or a good cause.
honestly I would love to buy a place like this and fix it up(still keeping it vintage looking) and live in it.
Hannah Fraley start savin
Would cost more to fix this place or any big place in this condition than it’s even worth.Would be cheaper to build your own from scrap 😂
Hannah Fraley yup my pet peeve is watching an hgtv show come in and demolition any original character from a fixer upper.
Same here
I would buy it and fix it up.
I really enjoy how professional this channel is, instead of putting "HAUNTED!!" in the title, they used Death in it's past.
Omg that black bathroom is BEAUTIFUL. What the heck was that kitchen tho it was a box! Absolutely gorgeous home tho and location! Thank you for sharing it
Me Rose rich people back then probably didn’t spend too much time in their kitchens.
Beautifully sad, can only imagine how stunning this place was in its hayday. Why it is so important to leave a will and prevent family disharmoney.
The fireplaces in the mansion are beautiful. The house must have been something in its day. The second house could easily be cleaned up and lived in. I can't imagine owning a private pool that big.
I just read an article and it said there were one Million blue and white marble tiles lining that huge pool
I wish you would have left a link to the article you read about this property
The music you're playing sounds almost like its coming from the actual house. It's like the music that was playing at the end of 'The Shining'.
gumdokim exactly
The second building you went into looks almost like someone tried to renovate it! It's gorgeous!
Your Gatsby-esque themed music in the back is cute. Really adds to the feel of the video.
Prima Murdock i love that stuff.
It's beautful .... Said built in 1855 way before the great gatsby and the original owner died in 1980.
Absolutely
Prima Murdock, yes. I love the Gatsby music they played for this video as well! ❤️❤️❤️
It's hard to believe that the Property hasn't been sold. Regardless whether the house is restored, the land and it's views are worth a fortune.
It breaks my heart to see all of these beautiful homes just falling apart. If only families wouldn't fight over material things. They could all, still be enjoy the beauty and,the memorials that these beautiful homes still have to offer. Very Sad 💔 Thank you for sharing this with us ⚘💗⚘
It has been fully restored 💕
I can't believe these houses you visit are just sitting abandoned like this. This is a gold mine of recoverable materials. I live in mid-eastern IA where not a strip of barn wood goes unreclaimed or unsold for more than a week.
guys you should wear gloves and masks.
Why?
@@gingerelvira6587 Potentially harmful fumes or the dust from the buildings, unknown bacteria from rotting wood or plants, mold, feces.... There's plenty reasons why the original commenter suggested they wear gloves and masks.
Thank you for showing a close-up of the books. When there are books in abandoned place I always want to see what the titles are as I love to read and also because the books give an idea of the interests of the people who lived there.
+Andrew Brendan
Great observation. I coudn't agree more!!!
Righttt
Andrew Brendan same yes exactly
So true!
Filmed beautifully, slow and steady and also showing us the detail with explanations. I like how you respected this house. Thank you for sharing.. you are the ONLY abandoned house explorers I will gladly follow.
Susan your words mean alot! Thank you
Susan Roach I agree I found this and subscribed right away. Very good camera work and content!👏👏👏
I agree with @Susan completely. Couldn't have said it better
Exploring with Josh is a really good channel too!
My mom always said: “Do not buy old homes. They always come with a lot of obscure history.”
She's a square egg.
that is the reason you should buy old homes
:( I got an old house and yes it’s hunted my old house was too I always lived in a hunted house
A better reason not to would be because of all the money you will spend on repairs and updates that need to be done, like wiring and pipes, etc
I wouldn’t even care if it was haunted I’d love to own that place and fix it up if I could
My weird ass is loving the suspenseful feel of this tour. It gives me some kinda Halloween vibe.
Jae's Cleaning yess!! Somehow gives me “fall vibes”
I keep expecting to see a ghost everytime he turns a corner
Dude, that house is full of lead paint and black mold. Wear a respirator! Safe exploring.
This is what i just thought
A house so large would be very expensive to maintain even if it didn't need restoration. I would love to build a small house on that property by using salvaged parts off the mansion. I just wish vandals wouldn't break windows in old places like that. That's where a lot of the damage to the interior starts. What a shame. Beautiful views there. Great find! Thanks for posting. 👍
I believe it was natural disasters that destroyed the place. At least, that's what the uploader says at the beginning.
If you salvaged parts of the house the energies will be carried into your new home lol
My thought was vandals too, but wind and rain storms can knock out those windows overtime. I imagine this location receives a lot of wind and the windows just shattered from it. It happens.
If you did airb&b in the guest homes you could make it worth it, especially with the views and everything they offer. The one could even be listed as haunted.
I’d love to go exploring with you and your friends.
Do you ****
@Dark Exploration Films There were no slaves quartered there. Slavery was abolished in NY in 1827.
Great catch, I remember now learning about the Gradual Emancipation law in NY.
Yes. Maybe the correct term would be servants. Slavery ended but job opportunities were still not broad for slaves and slave descendants. All the videos are super unclear about time frame on this Chanel so you never know 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve never stolen anything in my life, but going through that place it would be really hard not to grab some of that stuff to keep just for the sake of preservation. Not letting it rot into nothing.
Does.it.matter ? Ikr
I know! I was putting a price tag on so many things in this awesome home.
Leave:Me:In:A:Little:Log:Cabin ? I've thought the same thing on so many locations and how much I would just love to preserve the whole place sometimes.
honestly i dont see anything wrong with it
if its been left there untouched might aswell take stuff and put it to use
like obvs theres expensive stuff there
but just the books they found in the cellar or anything like that id take
You NEVER stole anything in your life huh.
Even in ruins, this house is still beautiful!
Hey,
I 'm French and it was so bizarre when you showed the National Geographic Magazine ( 8:13) because I live in Languedoc ( South of France) and my mum was born in July 1951 like the date of the magazine, in Languedoc also. So weird and creepy coincidence
J'avoue lol
Laurent De Merteuil ... But what's crazy is that you happened to stumble upon this video and took an interest in wanting to see it and then saw the segment about the Nate Geo magazine with that info. So yes, I agree with you that it's a huge coincidence for sure. Pretty strange indeed.
Laurent wow. I don't know what it means, but it MUST mean something!!
Mais de ouf lol
Yes - that is pretty creepy!
This would have been stunning in it's day such a shame it had to end up like this, tysm for sharing, love from london
So sad😟 This home is about 40 minutes from me. This is unfortunately what has happened to many homes/mansions on Long Island’s Gold Coast.
do you live in such a mansion too?
😢😢
Where is it?
Where at
Do you know how much its worth
I grew up in a home that had a servants quarters with it's own stairway to the kitchen. Also a small bathroom. We never used it. It freaked us out. Even company didnt wanna sleep there.
butitssummerma wow! That’s awesome! There was probably a reason everyone felt the need to stay away from there!
Belladonna L. It gave off a weird vibe or maybe people thought wed make them do the dishes!
butitssummerma 😹 that’s funny!💕
Those grand homes built in late 1800s/early 1900s are so very cool (esp. when taken care of). I have gotten unsettling vibes from several too. Stayed as a guest w/friends in this stately Victorian. Remember clutching my Bible & repeating verses in bed until my BFF arrived. Kept hearing strange noises coming from attic rooms when I was the only one upstairs. 😨
Why not? What was wrong with it?
Great video, music not blaring, the camera work smooth. Thanks for taking me with you on the tour.
Keep up the grand work! More videos please. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Once a beautiful house it makes me sick to see it rotting away!
That is a SLATE roof!! It NEVER wears out!! That's Why there is No faking plaster or Water damage in the walls!! I'd even have it repaired!! The main support columns in the frame must be sound! Good Builder!!
Well, actually even slate roofs can need replacing or repairs. I bought a Victorian farmhouse to make into a B & B and it had a slate roof. A few needed replacing. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the small pallet of slate tiles delivered and it was $5000!!!! This was back in 1996. I was fortunate to have found someone who could do the work. It requires special tools and knowledge to work on a slate roof. This expense is one sad reason that many houses with slate roofs end up having them replaced with cheaper materials. I was a purist and spent the money to keep mine a slate roof. A slate roof is extra heavy, so any house with a slate roof will be solidly constructed. Unfortunately my B &B house was a real money pit. Eventually my husband got cancer and we sold it at a big loss. Today it is a vineyard and the owners live in the house but it is no longer a B & B. I am privileged to have been able to live it such a historic home. Many today have never even set foot in such a home, but at least they have these UA-cam videos.
@@nicolaxoxo1 it sounds like you values it and cherished its upkeep. I admire that
Gary Shields The Wood underneath the slate rotts and gives way
When I watch these kinds of videos (abandoned home explorations) I always think of all the history, I imagine what the home looked like in its “prime”, I imagine kids running through the halls, and breakfast cookin in the kitchen, what the interior design (the actual structure of the home, and the home decor). Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing!!
The 2nd house was at least updated in the 90s. You have updated light switches, alarm boxes, and thermostats on the walls
This house would so be worth buying and fixing it up, it would be absolutely beautiful
AMEN.
People are not content to simply look and observe - with respect. Instead, they feel compelled to throw rocks, vandalize, break windows, trash a magnificent old place and act like complete assholes. Ugh. This is starting to piss me off. Later..see ya.
Venting out anger. In its former glory, this is the kind of home that they would never ever dream of even being invited in, let alone owning one. Now that they find one that it's completely dilapidated and defenseless, they have the opportunity to let out their hatred. Petty hatred that stems from envy for people who simply own what they can't.
You have a great following but I’m surprised you don’t have more ! I’ve watched other videos similar to yours but yours is by far the best! I subscribed and have liked every video I watched ! Keep going 👍🏽👍🏽
You sold me on the bird calls and the other sounds of nature. Music was good too. And of course the video.
Wow!! I would love to go back in time and see this place when it was built, It’s really sad that it has been left in this condition. Awesome video!
The music added such a nice haunting touch. Beautiful home!!!
Jessica Smith...I agree completely!
5:43 Sees "give my soul new form" on the bathroom tiles and says " I like the pink and black bathroom"😆
Such an amazing house, it will be beautiful to see photos when people still leaving there😔🥺
Are you ever creeped out when you're in these houses?
Amazing places, shame that they will be left to ruin and vandalism
Dam vandals.
Mother nature is the biggest vandal of all. She takes back what is left too long.
thrillhausen Alt right, I'd live there if it were restored.
V Lo who wouldn't?
@@TitanikGirl Poor and middle-class people who could never afford the rent.
Loooooove this video! I've been watching a lot of "abandoned houses/mansions" vids but this def got my thumbs up. It's awesome that you explained the history of the place. Great work! 👍👍
loved the gesture with the music and all, made me feel as if I was physically walking through that house in the 1850’s
Far from being a "Gatsby mansion", but still a larger home. It's a shame that the family is like many other rich families that leave beautiful estates rot because of greed or just not wanting to maintain them. The Pink and Black in the bathroom was a popular scheme in the 30's. The unfortunate thing is the cost now to repair would be in the millions. It will end up not being worth the repair cost and it will end up being bulldozed and the value of the property will be only that of the land. Properties like this are assessed with the house on it, but if they tear down the house, the assessment will be much less and taxes for the property will be based only on the land. One reason why the owners won't fix it up is because of the cost, plus the taxes will increase as a result of a reassessment of the value. This is why property tax should be abolished.
Paul Millar that is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, property taxes can kill you. We were just looking at a 1930s estate in Old Westbury, NY that was put on the market by its original family. They are asking 29 million, which sounds like a lot until you see the mansion and realize how big the property is and what comes with it. Compared to other properties in that area, it really doesn't seem insanely expensive. But the combined property taxes are about 860K per year. Even if I had the money to afford it, I'd hate to give that much money to my local government. You get virtually nothing back from them.
Oh, forgot to add. This place isn't actually owned by that family any more. The property was sold a few years ago for forty million dollars to a group of doctors who plan to demolish everything, subdivide the land and build expensive spec homes.
IF I had it, I would not mind so much paying the taxes IF the money was well spent to do some actual good vs going to government waste and wars
I agree with you. Property tax should be abolished. It's also a shame that there's so many abandoned homes and homeless/poverty stricken people and we can't put them in these homes or any for that matter.
The opening with the birds chirping was so peaceful x x
Lisa Stokes ~Yes, loved it
17 minutes on 9 bldgs. I thought it was too short. Missed a lot of good footage as well as misinformation. The house and grounds are beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for actually providing some history on the property. Nice to see for a change.
3:01 that is the Butlers pantry, not the Kitchen. The next room that you went into after, that was the kitchen . The smaller staircases are the servants stairs in that place as well . :) Wrong age of house for Slaves so they would have been hired help. Loved the walk through!
TheBlueFairie thank you
I wonder if it had a "dumbwaiter".....
The second house was stunning!!!! Loved the music played during the video. Being it came in and out it was just right, not annoying and gave "life" to the first house. I could almost picture residents in their old time clothing with such grace and grandeur.
Bro how did I not find this channel sooner. You’re so epic
Thanks for taking us back in time. As an empath, I felt it all.
Well! I'm speechless. Beautiful place. Filmed beautifully. Great job. Many thanks for sharing
Jacky Hawkins thanks Jackie. The kind words mean alot. Glad you enjoyed.
Jacky Hawkins I agree, it's spectacular!
Really great find Devin! Beautiful architecture.
It’s good that there was an introduction about the house before the video starts. Would love to see more of those in your other videos as well 👍🏻
OMG!! How could the owners left those beautiful houses! Those houses are unique, classy and amazing to live in.
I like you because you respect the personal objects in every house you explore.
Keep going! YOU ARE AMAZING!
Beautiful to see the Victorian wallpaper and the Victorian designs and not destroyed
Lee j Cator Brings you back in time. Loved everything about this place, one of my favs. Thanks for watching !
I believe that wallpaper to be Art Deco which would be around 1920's.
Such a shame...what beautiful houses...lots of art deco and lovely molding
susan druce the marble fireplaces were simply gorgeous.
I know I wish I had the money to buy and restore it to the original condition dont you
Fascinating! Hey, thanks for having the courage to go inside & have a look.
Me: man that second house is incredible I’d love to-
Reads: woman drowns in basement
Me:-ya know what some things aren’t meant to be.

omG I thought the same
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You can hear crazy noises in the basement and again at the staircase
😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! The houses were like stepping back in time. The houses has a lot detail, and I wish you could have found some photographs of what it looked like in it’s glory days. Thank you for adding the history!
Yep this is what a family feud will do leave a place to rot just like my grand parents place is doing 400 acres and a beautiful huge house just going back to nature
Want me to make a video there also? 😏 haha
Kajun Means Seasoned Not Hot! Sad 😔
Where is your grandparents place located? What state?
That’s such a shame. I hope your parents have lots of pics and video of it so you can remember it.
While the family was still living there, it was still being kept up - despite all their feuding. Now a group of investors owns it and have applied for permits to demolish the buildings. I don't know if they were given permission yet or not, but it'll be gone soon enough in any case m
tragic. I guess after the mother drowned then the son she had been feuding got it all? It seems a bitter feud so surprised she did not cut him off. Do you know more details?
I put abandoned videos into my watch later, I had this in there for like 6 months, didn't have time to watch any of them, so it feel great to finally start back up with it, so thanks for making a great video to start back on
Fantastic video on the waterfront homes it's hard to believe that they're abandoned. You explain things very well and I couldn't stop watching this video keep them coming!
How sad to see a neglected once-beautiful home. In view of the superb location, some millionaire should buy and restore it. What a waste to allow such a place to deteriorate!
Would love to see what it looked like in it heyday at its peak....can only imagine since it's so amazing now. If you could do any research and post pics, would love to see them!
I love how you pay attention to details. Good job!
This was an awesome property. So glad you showed the original servant quarters too. The home obviously had been renovated in places but the original architecture was stunning! Bravo!
It's a nice, simple Italianate house that was designed by the great 19th century architect Alexander Jackson Davis for John Alsop King Jr.. Lovely marble mantelpieces. The whole place is impressive, really. It's a shame that it'll all be bulldozed soon.
Do you know if anything ever came from the investigation into John Handler's death? He was found dead outside his home on the property in March 2008. At the time the other brother Russelll was at his home in Maine, so he did not kill him himself. I can not believe one family has so much tragedy. John previously had cancer. Then sepsis took ALL his fingers and toes, so I can not imagine him being too mobile in such circumstance. This article just said he was found dead outside the home, and that homicide was looking into it. I doubt the mother could have killed him, she was in her 80s. www.nytimes.com/2008/03/07/nyregion/07estate.html?scp=1&sq=%22John+Handler%22&st=nyt
@@nicolaxoxo1 what a family , so sad for the houses, they truly never appreciated what they had , so ungrateful , so many homeless and they let this beautiful houses rot
@Aimee Webber so true. Never enough. Why 1% of the population hoards 90% of a nation's wealth. And so many millions live in poverty and despair. But the elite are insulated by their obscene wealth. And still want more wealth and more power. So unhappy. So sad.
The decay made this mansion awesome, along side from the size of it! Great video!
This property was up for sale in 2017 for 85 Million.
Different house. The one you’re thinking of is in Long Island and looks completely different to this
Shawn McPeak geez and BEFORE all the money you have to sink into it for repairs. Imagine the price tag if you had to replace the lead pipes, lead paint, asbestos in the walls, get it up to code 💸💸💸
I'll take 3..
This is my favorite video I’ve seen of yours so far. I love all of the little details you point out and those views are freakin INSANE! Subscribed!
I really like watching your videos. None of that look at me bullshit, like the other so called Explorers. With respect for the history, and really telling a story and documenting it. keep up the good work :) from the amateur explorer from Denmark
Thank you ! A lot of people forget why people clicked the video and what they are actually interested in. I'm not that special, just using my platform to show the world whats out there. Never going to be a vlogger like that, all about me bs
I love that you have the History.
Omg wow no one ever came back to claim this house is just so strange. It's so lovely just imagine it before the ruin 😍 it's beautiful now but it must have been so full of life before. Sad that the family just let it all go to waste and ruin
Allie M it was demolished and made into smaller homes part is still a museam
agonicole How do you research whats going on with it now. Thats really interesting..I watch so many videos like this and stay wondering about the story behind why it’s abandoned snd or its owners. Although this videographer did a great job giving information on history snd last known resident. Awesome video.
@@serenityinhim it was bought by a rich Russian guy and flipped he can't sell it and its empty
Btw i lived by it
First off, thank you for the history prior to the tour, & the 1900’s music was the chef’s kiss 😘 Perfect ambiance set!
I am watching all of your videos right now. Hahaha enjoying a lot.
The second house is a beautiful house it could be cleaned inside and outside repainted and could be liveable again a good house going to waste
Daphne Binnie I heard somewhere in the comments that they demolished the other (and much older) house and saved most of the stuff from it like the fireplace and such, and made a museum with it as well as a smaller house with those items and it’s all about the family, I don’t think they tore the newer home out though as it’s in such great condition
Large houses from the late Victorian Period, Unless in the South didn't have slaves. The Safe was inner safe was probably for Stocks and Bond, as well as Deeds all assets in paper form then. If there was even a small safe in that room, cash, gold and personal Jewelry. that was used often banks Pre- Depression were for large sums of cash and things in safety deposit boxes! The outer Safe room was for the house Silver. often when homes were not in use when on vacations Paintings and Clocks were also store in the safe!!!
+Eric K
Good job explaining the safe, and its purposes. I hadn't thought of the deep safe holding irreplacable papers, and the outter safe to store near priceless items from the houshold. Great post full of insight.
FYI, many Estates in the North had "Slaves" prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. But for certain, they did not live under the same roof as the owners and their family. The maids quarters, shown in the video, were for the Lady of the Estates, Personal Maid, the Butler, and Nanny or Governess. Even after the Cival War, when slaves were set free or paid a modest wage, they were still considered "less than" and would not be housed with the "white" servants. It is amazing how seperate yet equal still exists to some extent to this very day.
Elizabeth Ferguson
Slavery was abolished in NY in the 1820s, so no.
I was wondering where this is. Any idea what body of water that is? Looks huge, I was thinking one of the Great Lakes.
Long Island
Honestly, I just came across your channel and I'm in awe of this amazing estate and why would they let it get so badly? It's absolutely beautiful ❤️ I'm excited to watch more videos!
I would kill for a detailed floor plan of these homes!
*Probably would only kill a fly, heheh
I love to explore abandoned places hard to find here where I live thank you for bringing this to me I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful house with it’s silent history ♥️♥️♥️ y’all did a wonderful job
Please don't rush past kitchens and say nothing interesting here--kitchens are my favorite part and really show huge change each decade. Also baths
Cindy K. and tell so much about day to day living at the time!
I love the music I pictured how beautiful that house was in the hay days thank you for sharing 😄🇨🇦
Nice video, so sad to see such a lovely estate go to ruin. Must have been awesome to visit it when it was a real home, with music, talking and laughter. Thanks for sharing.
"Give My Soul New Form" graffiti above the pink bath.....bizarre
Major Mo especially when you consider that a mother and son drowned in the pool there
i found it to be cringy
After a bit of article searching I found information explaining John Handler’s wife, Jennifer Eley, was found dead by her daughter in the lap pool you filmed. She was 44 years old, and had health problems. John was found dead several years later on the lawn by a neighbor ( I am assuming one of the individuals renting one of the 9 homes on the property as most were lived in by renters). It is believed he slipped and fell by the homicide unit investigating his death. The property was listed for sale in 2010 by John’s two daughters for $39 million. It was sold in 2012 for “much below asking price.” I could not find any information on who purchased the property. John and Russell’s mother died in 2015.
Now this article contradicts the other I read. It says RUSSELL is the one who found John's body. It also goes on to mention that John was in a wheelchair at one point at least. I find it odd that he allegedly had a "slip and fall" death if he was in a wheelchair. I wonder if his brother killed him. There was a lot of bad blood between them. Sadly John left 2 young girls orphans because their mother had already downed by this time. www.newsday.com/long-island/another-tragedy-befalls-prominent-gold-coast-family-1.882024

Simply Beautiful! Thanks for Share! Also perfect music,
Oh how lovely .The front door was beautiful. I love your background music.It set the mood . Thank you .❤
What a fantastic place, it must have really been something to see, back in it's original glory. The land that these house's are on, is probably quite valuable. The "I want it, you can't have it" greediness, got nobody anything except vandalism, and decay. You did a very nice job videoing this, thank's for the adventure!
That place has a lot of potential!! Such a beautiful place
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I just don’t understand how this property could be left abandoned like this! Makes you wonder what we don’t know!💖💖💖
I adore the location too 💜. Wow just amazing. Something about this place I just keep coming back to watch this one. Thanks
