I was gifted (by a 106 year old woman) an old wash stand, matching dresser, chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a few other pieces plus two iron beds. Every piece is in wonderful condition. All of my friends were like, nice 70's furniture. The beds were from the mid 1800's and all wood furniture from the late 1800's. I was lucky enough to have been given receipts and paperwork for some items. Yep, I'm one lucky old grump!
The big appliance that you saw in the kitchen, was a literal icebox. They would put a chunk of ice in the bigger box inside, and that's what kept their food cold. The green and white stove, was from the forties. I was born in 1968, and we had regular stoves, refrigerators, and freezers.
I was also thinking '40's..I grew up in the late 50's & 60's. It's a beautiful old stove, hope it's 'rescued ' & someone enjoys it before the house just rots away with it in there.
Yes I totally agree with you. I was born in 1965 and I remember my grandmother having these older type freezers and stoves when my family and I would visit every summer.
As you went in. The first stove was an antique wood stove with warming oven. The next is a 1930s freezer refrigerator a large one. The next room had a Hoosier cabinet in two pieces on the floor back in the day there were no wall cabinets just things like this, you had a flour bin and all your baking needs in this with matching spice and other containers. The enamel top pulled forward to get more work area and back when not in use. I would love one but cannot afford it. The gas stove with green enamel is a 1930s and beautiful! What a beautiful home I wish it could be adopted and restored, be safe!
The Fire King stove is from the 1920's-30's. It was considered modern back in the day. People either used wood, coal, or both to cook with. It could also be fitted for gas depending on where one lived. The white porcelain box on legs, was a modern ice box. It was a major improvement over the wooden ones with tin linings. The cabinet on the floor with the trees on the doors, in the room with the organ, is most likely a 'Sellars' kitchen work station. It's called a knock down' because the top (obviously) can be removed from the bottom. The bottom part was to the front of the top part in that room. Sellars, or more commonly called, 'Hoosier' from where they were manufactured, were quite popular from the 1920's to 1950, some later depending on the State. Sellar cabinets are a hot item still to this very day, as people are returning to a simpler way of life. The same with the Fire King stove. In fact, everything in there is VERY valuable! Cool find. Thanks so much for the video.
Looking at the icebox: “I’m not really sure what this thing is.” God bless you Kappy! Your videos are a real treat. We are all so grateful for your curiosity of these old places. Thanks for taking us along!
I was born in 1944. My grandmother had a ice box..The ice man would come on serving days and delivered ice..grand pa would always chip of a piece of ice for me in the summer. Was a big treat to get a cold piece on a hot day..
Pretty cool old cabin with some truly awesome antiques. I was born in 1948 and remember my mother had a stove like this green and white one in her kitchen. Oh the memories it brings back. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
The appliances in the cabin are amazing!! It does look like someone at one time started to renovate the cabin and decided to stop for whatever reason. I truly hope they decide to come back and finish the home, it would make a beautiful camp. The style of the mansion is such a favorite of mine. The woodwork and architecture is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Kappy for making our Saturday complete with yet another beautiful find! You never disappoint. 😊
Yeah, i giggle when he sees a 70s floral hideous brown couch, and thinks that it's from the 80s.🤗 i mean, it was, if you were poor like we were, lol!!!😄😄😄
I loved the colonial look from the 60s. In fact, I have my grandmothers maple living room tables that she bought from Ethan Allen in 1966 and am going to redo my living room in "colonial blue" with the matching furnishings (as much as I can gather) once my floors are refinished in - you guessed it - maple hardwood lol.
@@snickers2877 yes, all the glory of the heavy woods and autumnal colors of the 70s!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 he finds THE BEST places!!! However, I REALLY wish that he'd get some inexpensive mic, because I often can't hear him, as he's soft-spoken. :/
FrankiesFancy I love mid century (40s, 50s, 60s) colonial reproduction furniture, too! Goes beautifully in cottage, colonial, country homes, etc. Such quality! Nothing today is built like it unless it's custom ordered and you pay thousands for one piece of furniture.
Thanks I actually missed it, yes it's one of my favorite places especially in springtime when the dogwoods, azaleas etc are blooming and the weather is it's best. I went in July 1 time, the humidity is so the worst I've felt in my 49 years.
Thanks Kappy for sharing this video with me about Abandoned Log Cabin Hidden Deep in the Woods w/ Antiques Inside it was a very interesting video with a lot of history and i really enjoyed it my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless you my friend.
Amazing, simply amazing! You can see why they gave up, in the room where the sheet rock was laid up against the wall, the house has started to sag. It could be fixed no doubt about that. As for when you were in the upstairs, you mentioned that the wood was black, not because of a fire, because of dampness and age. This house could definitely be saved. 10 thumbs up on this one kappy!
They (remodelers) most likely ran out of money, because their work was meticulously crafted, and that kind of craftsmen usually don't give up. I hope they finish it, regardless!!!🤗👍😊
Absolutely wonderful explore Kap! I would love to live in a nice little place tucked away in the woods like this one! I'd have a pack of Irish Wolfhounds, a German Shepard, few kitties, and a chicken or two, maybe a couple miniature goats. I'd also have a well stocked wood shed and library to get through any cold spells! I feel bad for who ever tried to fix this cabin up and got discouraged! Thank you again! That was awesome!
Wonder Granny. It looks like someone tried. Some of those logs looked pretty punky to me. You can tell that they tried but l think they did some stuff that is not in keeping with the original cabin. It just looks kind of butchered. You really have to know what you’re doing and it takes a lot of work and a lot of money!!
So sad someone gave up on the first house, it was a nice place. I really liked the foot bridge. The second house was amazing, glad it's being kept up. Thanks, Kappy.
Beautiful Wood on the walls in the first room you looked. Pretty new. Love this old house. So glad nobody came in and destroyed these beautiful antiques or stoled them.❤️👍❤️
That is a neat cabin. My grandmother was born in 1895. She had an icebox made out of wood similar to the one in the cabin. I think it is probably older than the one in the cabin. I can remember my mother explaining to me what it was and how the blocks of ice were brought each week to the house! I love the fact that, in a fashion, I have touched three centuries.
Some one has to come back and save that cabin! The old fridge might have run on propane or electric. Wish you would have shown the emblem on the door. The green and white stove could be a very early one and the white one more like 40's - 50's. I you went to fast in attack but it looked like a small fire place behind the rolls of insulation. Then you found this gorgeous mansion, at least they are doing something to preserve it. Kappy you out did yourself on this Vlog. Great job as always.
Actually I found listings for a couple Fire King stoves that were very similar to this one, both with Jadite-green enamel finishes and both dated to the 20's.
I hope someone finishes fixing the cabin up and uses it. It would be such a shame to let it go to waste. It still seems to have a good feeling to it. Thanks for sharing.
My sister and I did the tour of Drayton Hall. You should go to Ashville NC to Biltmore House and see a period home in all its glory. If you do, wear comfortable shoes and do the whole house tour with the headphones. They finally finished the top floor servant quarters so the home is restored from top to bottom. Loved the log cabin. Hope it is finished one day.
Isn’t it incredible! I just loved it! I wish I lived closer I’d be visiting drayton hall every week, I loved it! & will have to make a note of that!!! I always love touring beautiful old historic houses! Thank you very much!!!
Biltmore is a must to see if you can afford it. It's expensive to keep up a place like that plus the grounds so they have to charge a pretty entrance fee to visit. Glad they do what's necessary for it's upkeep. I've been there twice and just love the grounds. But then I'm an avid gardener.
@@nadinemasteller1089 I used to work for the attorney who represented the Biltmore Estate. I was granted access to the whole place and had a grand time poking my head into closed off rooms and roaming around. It got a bit scary sometimes, too, or maybe I just frightened myself!
@@ittybittykittymama7582 The first time I went was probably 25 years ago. My sister and I agreed that it felt cold and oppressive. So I can imagine getting spooked. My favorite areas are the atrium and library/hallway. The rear porch overlooking the property is also nice.
Looking from the outside (which looks a bit worn now), you'd never really know just how remarkably well preserved the inside of this log cabin really is until you step in. But then again, it's quite possible that it might not have been abandoned for very long. There's some items in there that look like things that you could still buy today. So who knows. In any case, another wonderful find!
The green stove is circa 1920’s. My husband and I furnished our home with antiques and he gave me one for a Birthday present. We actually replaced our modern stove with it and used it for many years.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Newer roof!!! Whoever is renovating - I love the ship lap. OMG the green and white stove. I think it is a kerosene stove. I'd have that place locked up tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible log cabin!! I used to live in one just like this. I would never cover up the original logs on the inside! It completely takes away from the integrity of the cabin. I do like the cedar in the addition, but I would still leave the one original wall exposed. Someone could probably get a grant to restore/repair this cabin and put on the list of historic homes! Beautiful antiques inside! I love the Georgian Mansion too!! The intricate woodwork is absolutely gorgeous. Wish we could have seen more. Awesome videos Kappy! You’re the best! 😊👍🏻🏚👏🏻
Some of the logs look pretty punky to me. I don’t like the cedar wall. To me it just doesn’t work. It looks like they really tried to fix this charming place but it looks pretty butchered to me. It takes knowledge and a lot of work to take on a project like this. It looks like they gave up. The white cupboard with the black willow trees is either a very early piece or a good reproduction.
Its a shame, since it looks like it was really going to be nice once finished, But I've gotta feeling that their coming back and not quite done there just yet! That mansion withh its grounds and architect is breath taking! Would really be something If it was still furnished! Thanks for sharing!
Wow...what a find!! Someone really wanted to fix it up!! The appliances were beautiful and the cabinet with the wheat emblems looks like a bakiers cabinet worth $$$$
Quite a flip from the log cabin to Drayton Manor! It sounded like a vacuum was running. Would love to go there some day. Thanks for taking us to these 2 diverse homes!
Oh I have always wanted to live in a log cabin. Can't wait to see the inside of this one. Love to see the Lion King stove. Loved the second house you toured. what architecture it has. thanks, lean on God
Loved the cedar paneling, someone was doing very nice work. The old green stove was from the 20's or 30's but looked like it had been refurbished and was going to be used in the new kitchen. Too bad it never got finished!
What an interesting log cabin. I know they where going to cover up the walls....but that would have been a shame. Love all the old appliances n organ. My grandmother had a Fire King stove like that one. She cried when it stopped working. Drayton Hall is amazing. But I kept wanting you to go off an explore and see all of the place. I was thinking you wanted to badly! Great video Kappy. Stay safe and God bless.
Your videos are the best, Our family restored two historic buildings on the National Historic Register. So your videos are so important for inspiring preservation interest. I'll stop rambling and just wanted to explain about the white refrigerator in the kitchen. It's a ammonia gas fridge made by the Serval Co. The badge on the door is the giveaway. Sorry to say due to a lawsuit over a accidental entrapment they had a reward out for their destruction. A 100.00 payment when you removed the door and sent the hinges back to them. They are so rare to find, they ran on a tiny bit of propane ( hence the small flame badge) and worked beautifully. At night in a stone quiet cabin you would be comforted by the barley audible burgle of the refrigerant percolating. Of course our cat would always sleep on vent grill on top of it.
Thank you very much agreed especially with the fire damage & thank you!! It’s called drayton hall you can tour it if you are ever in South Carolina I would highly recommend it! I loved it
Yessss and the porches! I had always wanted to do a tour of drayton hall & finally managed to get to Charleston to do it! Thanks for watching! If you are in South Carolina ever it’s worth the ticket to take the tour!!
I love that log cabin. Still looks like it could be saved. That green stove is from the 1920's. Nice pump organ. Great designs they had back then. The second house had very nice architecture through out. Fireplaces looked awesome.
Ah, you've taken me back 70 years or more again, Kappy, to our vacations in northern Wisconsin's woods! The Fire King wood or gas kitchen stoves wwere built between 1920 and 1940. The one in this cabin looks like the one in "A Christmas Story" and, I think, in Jessica Fletcher's kitchen in Cabot Cove on "Murder She Wrote." The ice box you couldn't identify might be gas operated, strange as that seems. I stayed with a friend for a long weekend in his family's cabin, deep in the woods, and still haven't figured out how a gas flame can produce cold (maybe someone can tell us?). That cabinet at 3:56 is a pie safe used to cool freshly baked pies, cakes, etc., away from pesky flies (children, husbands, etc. lol). Watched Norm Abrams build a couple on "New Yankee Workshop." Quite a contrast between the rustic utility and ornate mansion! I really liked this one, Kappy. BTW, did I see you carefully staying in the center of that rather nice bridge, coming in, to take advantage of the strength of the center support beams? Good move!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! Always appreciated!! & yes indeed the bridge was definitely a little rough & about a 8-10 foot drop so I didnt wana fall thru haha thank you for watching!!
I love videos like this. it's fascinating but also serves as a historical document. before some places unfortunately fall apart or get torn down, they will always be preserved in a way by being explored and videoed.
@dawn ryan I was born in the 50's and my grandparents had modern appliances even in their lake cabins in northern MN..My maternal grandparents had more primitive cabin without running water, old water pump that had to be primed and an outhouse til mid 60's but they had electricity and both had electric or propane stoves that burned wood and paper plates on left side of stove. Warmed up the cabin on cold summer mornings. Best childhood memories on the Mesabi range.
Love the cabin, I hate to see the log walls covered up with cedar? It could be a beautiful getaway if someone would finish working on it. The Mansion in Charleston, is beautiful too, very old. 😊
The Charleston home is Drayton Hall and a wonderful place to visit, fully original. On the same stretch of scenic road there's Middleton Place and Magnolia Gardens also open to the public to visit along the Ashley River outside Charleston each can take half a day or more to fully enjoy. I wish I could explain the mixture of architecture and incredible beauty of nature at these places, a surprise to see after looking at the cabin because I was honestly trying to determine what area of the country it was in and it definitely wouldn't be from the Low Country with that basement or the stone. I hope I can find more thoughts on the cabin in comments so left the location and a little information about the mansion in case it helps after seeing it mentioned. I've spent 2 decades exploring, renovating and traveling whenever possible I learn everything I can about older homes it life's hobby.
Great find, very interesting. I do wonder though if renovation may be ongoing, with breaks in between, because of all the new unopened rolls of insulation in the attic, as well as the nice new-looking paneling on the ground floor. Enjoy your channel very much!
Eileen Bauer. I think it looks like it’s more work than they were willing to take on. To me, the new wall doesn’t tie in with the cabin at all and it isn’t in keeping with the primitive quality of the cabin. Some of those logs look pretty pulpy. Taking on a project like this takes an incredible amount of work and knowledge. I think they got overwhelmed and gave up, sadly.
Lol 1960 stove seriously😁? Thing? Looks like a ice box 😊You must be a real young guy.....those are priceless and can withstand any modern fridge or stove from this generation , nice find.😁👌
OMG what treasure!!!! Next to the pump organ was upper and lower pieces to a Hoosier cabinet, it would contain all the essential baking and cooking needs. Looking at all the work that has been done, I would find out who has that property to see if they are still in the process of restoring. It is such a precious little “cottage” I can’t imagine not wanting to finish it!! The second home you showed...holy crap! How fun :) you need to go back and do a one on one with the tour guide, please, please, PLEASE!!!!!
The appliance is an early electric refrigerator from about 1932, porcelain enameled steel resembling the oak ice boxes. The original electric refrigerators from the mid 20's had the compressor on top which this doesn't have. However it still has the highboy style legs but the interior of the door is flat paneled. From the late 30's early 40's the doors starting to include shelves. Late 40's early 50's are made more in the style we have now. The emblem on the front looks like it says Ward, however I cannot find anything regarding that brand. It looks to be in very good condition, excellent find.
That old cabin might be your best find yet!!! LOVE your vids!!!👍👍👍 That was an icebox, as commentators said. If you didn't have one, you'd get your iron claw and put it on hay or straw, and wrap the block of giant ice in woven transport blankets. You'd chip away at the block, as needed. Whomever was doing the remodel, did a fantastic job. Their drywall and wood planks were done well!!! Wish that they didn't use prefabbed railing and posts over the original bridge, but their other work was very nicely done!!! May I put in a request, or 20, lol? PLEASE get a mic. It's so hard to hear. And please play *eye spy* and spend more time on the details. Things like the old bed frame in the beginning, the makes of the appliances, or the old smoker out back, are really neat to see/ interesting.🤗👍😊
Howdydoo Kappy-nice work! The second stove was from the late ‘20’s/early ‘30’s. The tall appliance was an icebox. In the second room where the organ was, the was a Hoosier dry sink in two pieces-the bottom piece usually had a door to a space with a rack shelf and several drawers, the bottom one fairly large and lined with zinc for food storage. The bottom piece was also topped by an enamel top that would slide out a few inches to make it more useful. The top piece-sort of a hutch in design-had built in, behind a door, a storage chute for flour. It had a crank for dispensing and would already sift the flour as it was dispensed. Hoosiers were VERY popular in the ‘30’s/‘40’s. Seems like this place had been outfitted, perhaps updated to include the bathroom, in the ‘30’ what with two appliances from the’30 and the Hoosiermpkp
The old FireKing Stove, I would say that is a 1920s vintage, man that second house was really nice-looking shack, real class. Nice walk through, I like your show! Signed, Greg the Egg.
It's not an icebox.It's a rare Servel absorbtion refrigerator from the 30's,they used kerosine or propane,no compression motor.Totally silent and basically indistructable,no moving parts and built totally of enameled steel just like that Fire King oven.
Love the stove, the ice box. That organ is beautiful. Might have I saw the fire extinguisher. Oh yes now that is what I'm talking about. I'm moving in. Maybe not. Lol
Hi Kappy, I just looked up that Fire King antique green & white stove, it`s from 1920`s & is worth $1, 600.00 right now April/2022. But thanks for the adventure! Take care & stay safe from USA
I would love to have this home. It is awesome, inside and out. The creme colored piece is a pie safe I think. The wood work in the inside of the second home is amazing. Beautiful property.
I really liked this video. The cabin is very impressive, as well as the little bridge you had to cross, where there was once a running stream. Thanks for showing it, Kappy.
That log cabin could be restored. It's awesome .my mama had a cold stove like that when we were growing up. Wish l had it. How blessed you are getting to explore all these beautiful places.
The log cabin has squared logs with mortise and tenon corner joints. The upstairs was a sleeping loft that has been shored up. Fireplace was covered up, it was probably in the front room. Best use would be to take the house apart and rebuild using those old hewn logs.
The piece you asked about is an icebox. The white furniture piece setting in the floor next to the Fire King is the top off of a hoosier cabinet. Great video here and wow at the second location, so much wood work.
Wow, what an absolutely fascinating place - it's quite a step back in time! It's such things as the axe blade marks and the little stream bridge that really amps up it's appeal. How do you stumble across these fantastic treasures, Kappy?! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Kappy this my fav video so far,I really love the log cabin & all the antiques inside, the brick house was ok but heart goes to the log cabin thanks for another amazing find
The black and white stove is 1940s 1950s. The big thing next to it was the original ice box equivalent to a refrigerator. The green and cream stove is 1920s. The pump organ is basically worthless no one wants them but that top section can be repurposed. The two pieces on the floor by the organ is actually a kitchen cupboard. The top has the doors including the flower bin and the other piece is the base it sat on and in the front room is an antique kitchen drop leaf table. with the exception of the black and white stove the other pieces are valuable and needs to be saved!
That's a very Old Refridgerater in the kitchen..Love that Old Antiques 2 Cook Stoves.. the green & WHITE stove is older than 60's My great grandparents in Kentucky had Log Home similar to this theirs was way wider & had a Huge Hearth & No Electricity..out door water well was most ice cold cleanest water they kept it in 2 dipping Buckets in kitchen we used an old water ladle to drink out of the metal pot/bucket) they used indoor British peepots) to urinate in (Bed pans) in freezing winter Out house was for warmer weather as little girl I used both! Only in hills outside of Elkton Ky..where all moms family were from since 1805..
@Danielle Hutto ~ Me too!! I used to live in one just like it. I rented it from the sweetest old man. I had people stop by all the time saying they drove by and admired this cabin for years and asking if they could see inside. I always let them because I had it fixed up so nice! I would go to yard sales and auctions to find old things to decorate with, like very old pictures, lanterns, a whiskey barrel to catch rainwater, iron skillets hung on pegs on the walls, old quilts, an old steamer trunk for a coffee table, ect. It was so warm and cozy. The old man I rented from said he wanted me to live there forever. And I would have! He got really sick, really fast with brain cancer and passed away less than a month after being diagnosed. Not long after his sister came by one day. She said she knew George wanted to give me the cabin and some land, but he didn’t have time to put it in his will. He was a widower with no children, and one of nine siblings and the majority of them chose to sell the cabin and all the land together, which was several hundred acres. I couldn’t afford to buy it all. My heart was broken not only for myself, but for George too. 💔 I’m sorry I wrote a book, but once I started I couldn’t stop. Maybe someone will enjoy reading my story about my little cabin on the hill. ☺️
In the second clip That house is so stunning, well spotted guys, I love the house so beautiful, well done guys, I love watching theses videos, thank you 🙏
I guess it just depends on how much you could stand to change, my Granny still had a wood cooking stove with water heater on the back she said as long as she had the strength to keep her wood hauled in she would keep what she had. I loved pinto beans and cornbread cooked on it but summer was hot as you know what. This was in the 60's and early 70's.
That Fire King stove is from the 20s to the 30s and is in remarkable condition!. The pump organ is a Hamilton and why you find to many pianos and organs abandoned in homes is because it takes 6 men to move them. Ever move a piano or organ? I was an antique dealer in the 90s. These things weigh a ton! As for the outhouse, I am an insulator and bottle collector. There will probably be some great early bottles and possibly some Dec 19, 1871 dated insulators in the "night soil". Outhouses are great places to find early bottles and insulators.
That was a ice box in the kitchen, the stove was probably 30's or 40's. I also notice the cabinet with the decorative doors that was a pie safe. Was the mansion in Charleston, South Carolina, I heard Charleston mentioned and I noticed the Spanish moss in the trees. Great find , looking forward to the next video, be safe.
Thanks for the info! & yes the mansion is called drayton hall you can tour it if you are ever in Charleston sc. it was one of the coolest places I’ve ever been and worth the price of the tour!! Seriously incredible place was like walking back in time!!
I was gifted (by a 106 year old woman) an old wash stand, matching dresser, chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a few other pieces plus two iron beds. Every piece is in wonderful condition. All of my friends were like, nice 70's furniture. The beds were from the mid 1800's and all wood furniture from the late 1800's. I was lucky enough to have been given receipts and paperwork for some items. Yep, I'm one lucky old grump!

The big appliance that you saw in the kitchen, was a literal icebox. They would put a chunk of ice in the bigger box inside, and that's what kept their food cold. The green and white stove, was from the forties. I was born in 1968, and we had regular stoves, refrigerators, and freezers.
Wow had no idea!!! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge thank you & thank you for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Thank you for making these videos; I love abandoned homes!
Actually the green stove was a 1930 Windsor Gas Stove
I was also thinking '40's..I grew up in the late 50's & 60's.
It's a beautiful old stove, hope it's 'rescued ' & someone enjoys it before the house just rots away with it in there.
Yes I totally agree with you. I was born in 1965 and I remember my grandmother having these older type freezers and stoves when my family and I would visit every summer.
As you went in. The first stove was an antique wood stove with warming oven. The next is a 1930s freezer refrigerator a large one. The next room had a Hoosier cabinet in two pieces on the floor back in the day there were no wall cabinets just things like this, you had a flour bin and all your baking needs in this with matching spice and other containers. The enamel top pulled forward to get more work area and back when not in use. I would love one but cannot afford it. The gas stove with green enamel is a 1930s and beautiful! What a beautiful home I wish it could be adopted and restored, be safe!
@@mm-er6bo It's the cream colored boxy thng on the floor in the room with the green stove. It has stylized willow trees on the cabinet doors.
That Fire King Range is from the 1920-30s. By the 1960s we had wall ovens and modern ranges like we have today.
Yeah, when you think 60s, think of the t.v. shows Bewitched, or The Brady Bunch.👍😊❤
@Pottering With Patricia 60’s? 😣
TigerAnn I giggled when he said 60’s. Made me feel old. Lol
That’s what the original Easy Bake Oven was modeled after
No we didn’t.
Enchanting! The stoves are probably twenties or thirties. I was born in 42 and even then they were old.
The Fire King stove is from the 1920's-30's. It was considered modern back in the day. People either used wood, coal, or both to cook with. It could also be fitted for gas depending on where one lived. The white porcelain box on legs, was a modern ice box. It was a major improvement over the wooden ones with tin linings. The cabinet on the floor with the trees on the doors, in the room with the organ, is most likely a 'Sellars' kitchen work station. It's called a
knock down' because the top (obviously) can be removed from the bottom. The bottom part was to the front of the top part in that room. Sellars, or more commonly called, 'Hoosier' from where they were manufactured, were quite popular from the 1920's to 1950, some later depending on the State. Sellar cabinets are a hot item still to this very day, as people are returning to a simpler way of life. The same with the Fire King stove. In fact, everything in there is VERY valuable! Cool find. Thanks so much for the video.
Looking at the icebox: “I’m not really sure what this thing is.”
God bless you Kappy!
Your videos are a real treat. We are all so grateful for your curiosity of these old places. Thanks for taking us along!
I was born in 1944. My grandmother had a ice box..The ice man would come on serving days and delivered ice..grand pa would always chip of a piece of ice for me in the summer. Was a big treat to get a cold piece on a hot day..
Pretty cool old cabin with some truly awesome antiques. I was born in 1948 and remember my mother had a stove like this green and white one in her kitchen. Oh the memories it brings back. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
The appliances in the cabin are amazing!! It does look like someone at one time started to renovate the cabin and decided to stop for whatever reason. I truly hope they decide to come back and finish the home, it would make a beautiful camp. The style of the mansion is such a favorite of mine. The woodwork and architecture is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Kappy for making our Saturday complete with yet another beautiful find! You never disappoint. 😊
Mansion?
60's !! Im from the sixties and we didn't have old stove like that one from the 20's.
Yeah, i giggle when he sees a 70s floral hideous brown couch, and thinks that it's from the 80s.🤗 i mean, it was, if you were poor like we were, lol!!!😄😄😄
I loved the colonial look from the 60s. In fact, I have my grandmothers maple living room tables that she bought from Ethan Allen in 1966 and am going to redo my living room in "colonial blue" with the matching furnishings (as much as I can gather) once my floors are refinished in - you guessed it - maple hardwood lol.
@@snickers2877 yes, all the glory of the heavy woods and autumnal colors of the 70s!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 he finds THE BEST places!!! However, I REALLY wish that he'd get some inexpensive mic, because I often can't hear him, as he's soft-spoken. :/
Snickers compared to today, you guys are primitive

I love mid century (40s, 50s, 60s) colonial reproduction furniture, too! Goes beautifully in cottage, colonial, country homes, etc. Such quality! Nothing today is built like it unless it's custom ordered and you pay thousands for one piece of furniture.
Did anyone notice the gator in the pond? 😂 Charleston is a great place to tour old, beautiful homes. A must see place!
Thanks I actually missed it, yes it's one of my favorite places especially in springtime when the dogwoods, azaleas etc are blooming and the weather is it's best. I went in July 1 time, the humidity is so the worst I've felt in my 49 years.
No but I'm watching it again to see it. Was that that little thing at the end of the video?
@@th7579 I didn't notice it at first, but it was so grey outside that it kind of blended into the pond.
Thanks Kappy for sharing this video with me about Abandoned Log Cabin Hidden Deep in the Woods w/ Antiques Inside it was a very interesting video with a lot of history and i really enjoyed it my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless you my friend.
Amazing, simply amazing! You can see why they gave up, in the room where the sheet rock was laid up against the wall, the house has started to sag. It could be fixed no doubt about that. As for when you were in the upstairs, you mentioned that the wood was black, not because of a fire, because of dampness and age. This house could definitely be saved. 10 thumbs up on this one kappy!
They (remodelers) most likely ran out of money, because their work was meticulously crafted, and that kind of craftsmen usually don't give up. I hope they finish it, regardless!!!🤗👍😊
Absolutely wonderful explore Kap! I would love to live in a nice little place tucked away in the woods like this one! I'd have a pack of Irish Wolfhounds, a German Shepard, few kitties, and a chicken or two, maybe a couple miniature goats. I'd also have a well stocked wood shed and library to get through any cold spells! I feel bad for who ever tried to fix this cabin up and got discouraged! Thank you again! That was awesome!
I'd love to see that log cabin restored!
Wonder Granny Yes. The wood on the inside is still beautiful!
It still looks solid to me.
Wonder Granny. It looks like someone tried. Some of those logs looked pretty punky to me. You can tell that they tried but l think they did some stuff that is not in keeping with the original cabin. It just looks kind of butchered. You really have to know what you’re doing and it takes a lot of work and a lot of money!!
Kappy that stove probably dates back to the 1920’s maybe 30’s but I say older. It sure is a great little stove! I wish you could save it.
It's from the 40's...
Think of the movie "A Christmas Story"!
So sad someone gave up on the first house, it was a nice place. I really liked the foot bridge. The second house was amazing, glad it's being kept up. Thanks, Kappy.
Beautiful Wood on the walls in the first room you looked. Pretty new. Love this old house. So glad nobody came in and destroyed these beautiful antiques or stoled them.❤️👍❤️
That is a neat cabin. My grandmother was born in 1895. She had an icebox made out of wood similar to the one in the cabin. I think it is probably older than the one in the cabin. I can remember my mother explaining to me what it was and how the blocks of ice were brought each week to the house! I love the fact that, in a fashion, I have touched three centuries.
Some one has to come back and save that cabin! The old fridge might have run on propane or electric. Wish you would have shown the emblem on the door. The green and white stove could be a very early one and the white one more like 40's - 50's. I you went to fast in attack but it looked like a small fire place behind the rolls of insulation. Then you found this gorgeous mansion, at least they are doing something to preserve it. Kappy you out did yourself on this Vlog. Great job as always.
Actually I found listings for a couple Fire King stoves that were very similar to this one, both with Jadite-green enamel finishes and both dated to the 20's.
Kappy you have a God given gift, Your videos are very unique. Thanks for sharing.
I hope someone finishes fixing the cabin up and uses it. It would be such a shame to let it go to waste. It still seems to have a good feeling to it. Thanks for sharing.
My sister and I did the tour of Drayton Hall. You should go to Ashville NC to Biltmore House and see a period home in all its glory. If you do, wear comfortable shoes and do the whole house tour with the headphones. They finally finished the top floor servant quarters so the home is restored from top to bottom. Loved the log cabin. Hope it is finished one day.
Isn’t it incredible! I just loved it! I wish I lived closer I’d be visiting drayton hall every week, I loved it! & will have to make a note of that!!! I always love touring beautiful old historic houses! Thank you very much!!!
Biltmore is a must to see if you can afford it. It's expensive to keep up a place like that plus the grounds so they have to charge a pretty entrance fee to visit. Glad they do what's necessary for it's upkeep. I've been there twice and just love the grounds. But then I'm an avid gardener.
@@nadinemasteller1089 I used to work for the attorney who represented the Biltmore Estate. I was granted access to the whole place and had a grand time poking my head into closed off rooms and roaming around. It got a bit scary sometimes, too, or maybe I just frightened myself!
@@ittybittykittymama7582 The first time I went was probably 25 years ago. My sister and I agreed that it felt cold and oppressive. So I can imagine getting spooked. My favorite areas are the atrium and library/hallway. The rear porch overlooking the property is also nice.
Looking from the outside (which looks a bit worn now), you'd never really know just how remarkably well preserved the inside of this log cabin really is until you step in. But then again, it's quite possible that it might not have been abandoned for very long. There's some items in there that look like things that you could still buy today. So who knows. In any case, another wonderful find!
The green stove is circa 1920’s. My husband and I furnished our home with antiques and he gave me one for a Birthday present. We actually replaced our modern stove with it and used it for many years.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Newer roof!!! Whoever is renovating - I love the ship lap. OMG the green and white stove. I think it is a kerosene stove. I'd have that place locked up tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the icebox and the woodstove. My grandpa kept his icebox in his root cellar and a big block of ice lasted almost a week.
Incredible log cabin!! I used to live in one just like this. I would never cover up the original logs on the inside! It completely takes away from the integrity of the cabin. I do like the cedar in the addition, but I would still leave the one original wall exposed. Someone could probably get a grant to restore/repair this cabin and put on the list of historic homes! Beautiful antiques inside!
I love the Georgian Mansion too!! The intricate woodwork is absolutely gorgeous. Wish we could have seen more.
Awesome videos Kappy! You’re the best! 😊👍🏻🏚👏🏻
I agree about not covering the logs. They're beautiful in my opinion.
Some of the logs look pretty punky to me. I don’t like the cedar wall. To me it just doesn’t work. It looks like they really tried to fix this charming place but it looks pretty butchered to me. It takes knowledge and a lot of work to take on a project like this. It looks like they gave up. The white cupboard with the black willow trees is either a very early piece or a good reproduction.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CABIN AND BATHROOM , PEACEFUL AND BIRDS SINGING, ITS SO SAD THAT SOMEONE GAVE UP RESTORING IT , THANKS KAPPY FOR SHARING
Its a shame, since it looks like it was really going to be nice once finished, But I've gotta feeling that their coming back and not quite done there just yet!
That mansion withh its grounds and architect is breath taking! Would really be something If it was still furnished!
Thanks for sharing!
Two great finds My Sweet Friend. It is ashame that the old appliances were not saved. They are hard to find these days. Great work Kappy♡
Wow...what a find!! Someone really wanted to fix it up!! The appliances were beautiful and the cabinet with the wheat emblems looks like a bakiers cabinet worth $$$$
Quite a flip from the log cabin to Drayton Manor! It sounded like a vacuum was running. Would love to go there some day.
Thanks for taking us to these 2 diverse homes!
Fire king is so awsome and the wood inside is breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I have always wanted to live in a log cabin. Can't wait to see the inside of this one. Love to see the Lion King stove. Loved the second house you toured. what architecture it has. thanks, lean on God
Loved the cedar paneling, someone was doing very nice work. The old green stove was from the 20's or 30's but looked like it had been refurbished and was going to be used in the new kitchen. Too bad it never got finished!
To bad they were unable to complete the work inside. Nice work 👍👌 👍
What an interesting log cabin. I know they where going to cover up the walls....but that would have been a shame. Love all the old appliances n organ. My grandmother had a Fire King stove like that one. She cried when it stopped working. Drayton Hall is amazing. But I kept wanting you to go off an explore and see all of the place. I was thinking you wanted to badly! Great video Kappy. Stay safe and God bless.
I agree. Don't cover the logs.
Wow! Really old places, interesting! Thanks Kappy 👍🙋 🕊️🌟 🌟🌟 🌟🌟 🕊️🌟 🌟🕊️😁
Your videos are the best,
Our family restored two historic buildings on the National Historic Register.
So your videos are so important for inspiring preservation interest.
I'll stop rambling and just wanted to explain about the white refrigerator in the kitchen.
It's a ammonia gas fridge made by the Serval Co. The badge on the door is the giveaway.
Sorry to say due to a lawsuit over a accidental entrapment they had a reward out for their destruction.
A 100.00 payment when you removed the door and sent the hinges back to them.
They are so rare to find, they ran on a tiny bit of propane ( hence the small flame badge) and worked beautifully.
At night in a stone quiet cabin you would be comforted by the barley audible burgle of the refrigerant percolating.
Of course our cat would always sleep on vent grill on top of it.
What a hike to the privy.. I would NOT want to make that hike at night! Nobody should ever take modern conveniences for granted!
Thanks Kappy
The first thing could of been an ice box my grandmother also had one. Ice man would come around and she would buy a block of ice.
Neat explore. That would be an intimidating project. Second house interesting bonus. ❤️
Thank you very much agreed especially with the fire damage & thank you!! It’s called drayton hall you can tour it if you are ever in South Carolina I would highly recommend it! I loved it
Not as intimidating as some of the big houses with all the fancy detailing. Just a good solid little cabin.
Amazing! how the tin metal roof looks brand new for such an old creepy place like that.
3:05
Valuable old *Fire King* kitchen stove. Circa 1920s. Rare find. Collector's item.
Knowing how much Kappy LOVES a good mantle, he must have really enjoyed those ornately carved mantles in the antebellum brick home!
Yessss and the porches! I had always wanted to do a tour of drayton hall & finally managed to get to Charleston to do it! Thanks for watching! If you are in South Carolina ever it’s worth the ticket to take the tour!!
The cabin looked like someone was going to drywall over the original logs. But cool just the same
I love that log cabin. Still looks like it could be saved. That green stove is from the 1920's. Nice pump organ. Great designs they had back then. The second house had very nice architecture through out. Fireplaces looked awesome.
Ah, you've taken me back 70 years or more again, Kappy, to our vacations in northern Wisconsin's woods! The Fire King wood or gas kitchen stoves wwere built between 1920 and 1940. The one in this cabin looks like the one in "A Christmas Story" and, I think, in Jessica Fletcher's kitchen in Cabot Cove on "Murder She Wrote." The ice box you couldn't identify might be gas operated, strange as that seems. I stayed with a friend for a long weekend in his family's cabin, deep in the woods, and still haven't figured out how a gas flame can produce cold (maybe someone can tell us?). That cabinet at 3:56 is a pie safe used to cool freshly baked pies, cakes, etc., away from pesky flies (children, husbands, etc. lol). Watched Norm Abrams build a couple on "New Yankee Workshop." Quite a contrast between the rustic utility and ornate mansion! I really liked this one, Kappy. BTW, did I see you carefully staying in the center of that rather nice bridge, coming in, to take advantage of the strength of the center support beams? Good move!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! Always appreciated!! & yes indeed the bridge was definitely a little rough & about a 8-10 foot drop so I didnt wana fall thru haha thank you for watching!!
I love videos like this. it's fascinating but also serves as a historical document. before some places unfortunately fall apart or get torn down, they will always be preserved in a way by being explored and videoed.
The stove is not from the 60s. It’s definitely from the early to mid 20s.
dawn ryan ....I busted out laughing at that one too 😄😄😄😄I was born in 1951.
@dawn ryan I was born in the 50's and my grandparents had modern appliances even in their lake cabins in northern MN..My maternal grandparents had more primitive cabin without running water, old water pump that had to be primed and an outhouse til mid 60's but they had electricity and both had electric or propane stoves that burned wood and paper plates on left side of stove. Warmed up the cabin on cold summer mornings. Best childhood memories on the Mesabi range.
Love the cabin, I hate to see the log walls covered up with cedar? It could be a beautiful getaway if someone would finish working on it. The Mansion in Charleston, is beautiful too, very old. 😊
They covered logs with wood? Barbarians!
The Charleston home is Drayton Hall and a wonderful place to visit, fully original. On the same stretch of scenic road there's Middleton Place and Magnolia Gardens also open to the public to visit along the Ashley River outside Charleston each can take half a day or more to fully enjoy. I wish I could explain the mixture of architecture and incredible beauty of nature at these places, a surprise to see after looking at the cabin because I was honestly trying to determine what area of the country it was in and it definitely wouldn't be from the Low Country with that basement or the stone. I hope I can find more thoughts on the cabin in comments so left the location and a little information about the mansion in case it helps after seeing it mentioned. I've spent 2 decades exploring, renovating and traveling whenever possible I learn everything I can about older homes it life's hobby.
The cedar was in the addition, not the original log section.
This place is fantastic. U don’t see many explores of log cabins
Beautiful forest it looks enchanted
What an awesome find! Thank you for sharing!!
That is such a cool find! Absolutely love it. Thanks so much for sharing.
There was a antique refrigerator at the beginning of your tour Kappy. It used ice blocks at top of frig to keep it cool.
Great find, very interesting. I do wonder though if renovation may be ongoing, with breaks in between, because of all the new unopened rolls of insulation in the attic, as well as the nice new-looking paneling on the ground floor. Enjoy your channel very much!
Eileen Bauer. I think it looks like it’s more work than they were willing to take on. To me, the new wall doesn’t tie in with the cabin at all and it isn’t in keeping with the primitive quality of the cabin. Some of those logs look pretty pulpy. Taking on a project like this takes an incredible amount of work and knowledge. I think they got overwhelmed and gave up, sadly.
Kappy. I learned when l bought my 1850’s stone house that they didn’t use an axe on these older beams. They used a tool called an adze.
Lol 1960 stove seriously😁? Thing? Looks like a ice box 😊You must be a real young guy.....those are priceless and can withstand any modern fridge or stove from this generation , nice find.😁👌
thanks for taking the time to focus on things and not panning around and making us dizzy ...lovely place. and a little bonus video at the end..
Amazing antiques! Keep the great videos up😊
OMG what treasure!!!! Next to the pump organ was upper and lower pieces to a Hoosier cabinet, it would contain all the essential baking and cooking needs. Looking at all the work that has been done, I would find out who has that property to see if they are still in the process of restoring. It is such a precious little “cottage” I can’t imagine not wanting to finish it!! The second home you showed...holy crap! How fun :) you need to go back and do a one on one with the tour guide, please, please, PLEASE!!!!!
The appliance is an early electric refrigerator from about 1932, porcelain enameled steel resembling the oak ice boxes. The original electric refrigerators from the mid 20's had the compressor on top which this doesn't have. However it still has the highboy style legs but the interior of the door is flat paneled. From the late 30's early 40's the doors starting to include shelves. Late 40's early 50's are made more in the style we have now. The emblem on the front looks like it says Ward, however I cannot find anything regarding that brand. It looks to be in very good condition, excellent find.
Ward = Montgomery Ward. The white stove is also a Montgomery Ward stove, sold in the 50's and 60's.
Excellent video Kappy! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic finds Kappy !!!! Thank you 🙌
That old cabin might be your best find yet!!! LOVE your vids!!!👍👍👍
That was an icebox, as commentators said. If you didn't have one, you'd get your iron claw and put it on hay or straw, and wrap the block of giant ice in woven transport blankets. You'd chip away at the block, as needed.
Whomever was doing the remodel, did a fantastic job. Their drywall and wood planks were done well!!! Wish that they didn't use prefabbed railing and posts over the original bridge, but their other work was very nicely done!!!
May I put in a request, or 20, lol? PLEASE get a mic. It's so hard to hear. And please play *eye spy* and spend more time on the details. Things like the old bed frame in the beginning, the makes of the appliances, or the old smoker out back, are really neat to see/ interesting.🤗👍😊
What a beautiful gorgeous magnificent home
Howdydoo Kappy-nice work!
The second stove was from the late ‘20’s/early ‘30’s. The tall appliance was an icebox. In the second room where the organ was, the was a Hoosier dry sink in two pieces-the bottom piece usually had a door to a space with a rack shelf and several drawers, the bottom one fairly large and lined with zinc for food storage. The bottom piece was also topped by an enamel top that would slide out a few inches to make it more useful. The top piece-sort of a hutch in design-had built in, behind a door, a storage chute for flour. It had a crank for dispensing and would already sift the flour as it was dispensed. Hoosiers were VERY popular in the ‘30’s/‘40’s.
Seems like this place had been outfitted, perhaps updated to include the bathroom, in the ‘30’ what with two appliances from the’30 and the Hoosiermpkp
Wow beautiful wood cook stove still usable
The old FireKing Stove, I would say that is a 1920s vintage, man that second house was really nice-looking shack, real class. Nice walk through, I like your show! Signed, Greg the Egg.
What a brilliant cabin! Loved the green cooker! Great fun.
It's an icebox. The first style fridge. I love the cabin.
It's not an icebox.It's a rare Servel absorbtion refrigerator from the 30's,they used kerosine or propane,no compression motor.Totally silent and basically indistructable,no moving parts and built totally of enameled steel just like that Fire King oven.
Beautiful place... That stove is awesome... The cabinets with wheat my grandma had one. It house her flour and wheat things.
Love the stove, the ice box. That organ is beautiful. Might have I saw the fire extinguisher. Oh yes now that is what I'm talking about. I'm moving in. Maybe not. Lol
Hi Kappy, I just looked up that Fire King antique green & white stove, it`s from 1920`s & is worth $1, 600.00 right now April/2022. But thanks for the adventure! Take care & stay safe from USA
I would love to have this home. It is awesome, inside and out. The creme colored piece is a pie safe I think. The wood work in the inside of the second home is amazing. Beautiful property.
I really liked this video. The cabin is very impressive, as well as the little bridge you had to cross, where there was once a running stream. Thanks for showing it, Kappy.
Love the cabin !!! Thanks Kappy!!!
Amazing find. Thanks for sharing..
That log cabin could be restored. It's awesome .my mama had a cold stove like that when we were growing up. Wish l had it. How blessed you are getting to explore all these beautiful places.
The log cabin has squared logs with mortise and tenon corner joints. The upstairs was a sleeping loft that has been shored up. Fireplace was covered up, it was probably in the front room. Best use would be to take the house apart and rebuild using those old hewn logs.
The piece you asked about is an icebox. The white furniture piece setting in the floor next to the Fire King is the top off of a hoosier cabinet. Great video here and wow at the second location, so much wood work.
That pump organ is magnificent, & the bridge & wooded land is perfect
Wow, what an absolutely fascinating place - it's quite a step back in time! It's such things as the axe blade marks and the little stream bridge that really amps up it's appeal. How do you stumble across these fantastic treasures, Kappy?! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Kappy this my fav video so far,I really love the log cabin & all the antiques inside, the brick house was ok but heart goes to the log cabin thanks for another amazing find
A very nice cabin.
Thanks for showing us the log cabin house, looks pretty neat I would love to see it restored someday 🥰👍
The black and white stove is 1940s 1950s. The big thing next to it was the original ice box equivalent to a refrigerator. The green and cream stove is 1920s. The pump organ is basically worthless no one wants them but that top section can be repurposed. The two pieces on the floor by the organ is actually a kitchen cupboard. The top has the doors including the flower bin and the other piece is the base it sat on and in the front room is an antique kitchen drop leaf table. with the exception of the black and white stove the other pieces are valuable and needs to be saved!
That's a very Old Refridgerater in the kitchen..Love that Old Antiques 2 Cook Stoves.. the green & WHITE stove is older than 60's My great grandparents in Kentucky had Log Home similar to this theirs was way wider & had a Huge Hearth & No Electricity..out door water well was most ice cold cleanest water they kept it in 2 dipping Buckets in kitchen we used an old water ladle to drink out of the metal pot/bucket) they used indoor British peepots) to urinate in (Bed pans) in freezing winter Out house was for warmer weather as little girl I used both! Only in hills outside of Elkton Ky..where all moms family were from since 1805..
Love your videos Kappy...
Another great veido kappy much love to you and your family 👍 ❤️👍 ❤️👍 ❤️👍 ❤️👍 ❤️
Another great job and video , it showed how people from different classes lived in , nice a two-fear lol 👍😎
Someone had great plans for that cabin/house. Its sad to see it didn't get finished .
I love 💘 the house at the end
I would take the cabin (restored to original but with HVAC & bathroom) over the fancy mansion anyday!
@@daniellehutto3254 exactly! Me too!
@Danielle Hutto ~ Me too!! I used to live in one just like it. I rented it from the sweetest old man. I had people stop by all the time saying they drove by and admired this cabin for years and asking if they could see inside. I always let them because I had it fixed up so nice! I would go to yard sales and auctions to find old things to decorate with, like very old pictures, lanterns, a whiskey barrel to catch rainwater, iron skillets hung on pegs on the walls, old quilts, an old steamer trunk for a coffee table, ect. It was so warm and cozy. The old man I rented from said he wanted me to live there forever. And I would have! He got really sick, really fast with brain cancer and passed away less than a month after being diagnosed. Not long after his sister came by one day. She said she knew George wanted to give me the cabin and some land, but he didn’t have time to put it in his will. He was a widower with no children, and one of nine siblings and the majority of them chose to sell the cabin and all the land together, which was several hundred acres. I couldn’t afford to buy it all. My heart was broken not only for myself, but for George too. 💔
I’m sorry I wrote a book, but once I started I couldn’t stop. Maybe someone will enjoy reading my story about my little cabin on the hill. ☺️
@@daniellehutto3254 I agree it for some reason felt warmer more cozy
In the second clip
That house is so stunning, well spotted guys, I love the house so beautiful, well done guys, I love watching theses videos, thank you 🙏
Great find! I love log cabins, the bridge is really cool.
I guess it just depends on how much you could stand to change, my Granny still had a wood cooking stove with water heater on the back she said as long as she had the strength to keep her wood hauled in she would keep what she had. I loved pinto beans and cornbread cooked on it but summer was hot as you know what. This was in the 60's and early 70's.
I love the log cabin. I would live there.
That Fire King stove is from the 20s to the 30s and is in remarkable condition!. The pump organ is a Hamilton and why you find to many pianos and organs abandoned in homes is because it takes 6 men to move them. Ever move a piano or organ? I was an antique dealer in the 90s. These things weigh a ton! As for the outhouse, I am an insulator and bottle collector. There will probably be some great early bottles and possibly some Dec 19, 1871 dated insulators in the "night soil". Outhouses are great places to find early bottles and insulators.
That was a ice box in the kitchen, the stove was probably 30's or 40's. I also notice the cabinet with the decorative doors that was a pie safe. Was the mansion in Charleston, South Carolina, I heard Charleston mentioned and I noticed the Spanish moss in the trees. Great find , looking forward to the next video, be safe.
Thanks for the info! & yes the mansion is called drayton hall you can tour it if you are ever in Charleston sc. it was one of the coolest places I’ve ever been and worth the price of the tour!! Seriously incredible place was like walking back in time!!
