Hello Justin how's the weather over there

[@lailahammes4964]

I would say 1970's or early 1980's. The cars, ziploc bags, photos in color, hairstyles. The stitched embroidery is lovely over the fireplace. All the photos, it's so sad! Seals and Croft album my parents had. Electrolux vacuum, made in the USA. Thank you Leslie for the respect you give the house.

the curved window decorated with all the beautiful ornaments simply awesome!!

[@rosilucio3514]

Muito emocionante, lindo e também triste. Sempre que assisto vídeos de casas abandonadas comparo essas casas à imagem da mãe acolhedora, cuidadosa, carinhosa que foi esquecida pelos familiares e nunca mais foi visitada. Eu vejo isso em cada detalhe da decoração, flores, quadros, loucas, bordados. A presença da mãe, das mulheres dessas casas sempre é mais evidente.

Steven Brian Pennell the serial killer lived in this house.

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

The home was a beauty.I really like all the built ins.The layout of the house was nice too. The cars seat you called sofa seat we called it bench seats,and back then the vehicles were made of metals and were very heavy and to ride in them was so quiet and smooth,especially the luxury car Cadillac.Wonderful vehicle.Not a lot of people could afford a car like that back then,so these people had money.The home was lovely,sad now such a waste.❤️👍🇺🇸

[@aprilmouse8793]

Fascinating. How isolated from other homes was this place? Glad you didn’t go into the basement!

[@robertladue7647]

Lesley, you are such an elegant man. We Americans love you. I could sense that the house loved you as well. You show such respect for not only the house but the one time occupants of the house. I sense that the occupants were killed in a car accident. 😮

[@DanaSmithHines]

I love how you feel so deeply for the family and who they might have been. Your gentle and compassionate comments are very meaningful. Thank you for caring so much. You are an empath, like me.

[@willyegger4488]

Hey Lesley, How lovely to see again a video from Bros of Decay with such an interesting and fascinating background story! The room in the picture is looking so untouched and very decorative. - Of course I am especially interested to see the rare cars, as I am a big fan of the American classic cars from the 1940-ies to the 1960-ies I am already excited to see the video and hear you telling us about the secrets of that abandoned house somewhere in the USA. Stay safe, my friend, peace and kindest regards from again quite suny and warm Switzerland.

[@Wildflower-ue8qm]

I believe this home was likely last lived in sometime in the 90's. I noticed alot of decorative ducks which were an item in the 90's. The hairdo of the young lady on the dresser in master bedroom was a Farah Fawcett style hairdo, and that hairdo became notorious back in the 70's. But, it became notorious again back in the 90's when it was referred to as the "Rachel". I believe this pad was likely last lived in sometime back in the early 90's. Last but not least. I absolutely loved that beautiful master bedroom. And the furniture was beautiful. The wood on the walls. You could never imagine what some of the other rooms in the house looked like, after viewing those two beautiful bedrooms. Another question we are always left with, "What happened to the family that at one time called this beautiful decaying house theor humble abode??" Thanks for sharing, Leslie and hopefully you didn'tget frost bite. Carry those packets that can be crushed and bring warmth out. Put them in your socks, gloves, etc. They sell them at Walmart and most convenient stores.

[@cetnel65]

Yes and in the 50s there were no microwaves

[@gregorydaniels3884]

And the typewriter was definitely something made in the 1990 time frame.

Hello how's the weather over there

[@LOOTLESS1]

Lesley, I love your videos and the passion you have for these old things. You said this house is in Delaware. What city? I was born and raised there. You mentioned fishing village so I imagine you were downstate near the beaches. I lived in Wilmington as a child and in Newark as an adult. I have one request of you. Please don't take the lords name in vain, it is a sin in Christianity of which Jesus is the basis. Thanks in advance for that.

[@kc0eks]

[@andychris7647]

Hi Merry Xmas 🎉

[@mariajhanley5172]

This house was once a stately "craftsman". It's not too far gone to restore but it would be an act of love not a financial investment. Thank you again for sharing a glimpse of the past. RE: the shower combined with the tub, I don't know if this is true for all Americans but some women bathe & wash their hair in the tub then use the shower to rinse off with clean water. Has anyone else heard of that?

[@jolaod84]

Fun fact. If you ever go back to cold places, you could try to wear "long johns". I can't do without them when it's -10°C and I have to stay outside more than 15 min. I know very well what you mean when you said " It's freezing ". Haha.

[@aprilblossom9268]

Good point and also a hat! Heard that builders on sites in Winter wear tights 😊

[@maurad5378]

Also heavier shoes made of leather. Sneakers are too cold.

[@MiguelAugusto493]

eu amo esses vídeos são emocionantes demais é uma viagem ao passado.

[@deborahgriner5592]

I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but the car is from the 70's, and the microwave was from the 70's. There was also no color film in the 50's. I would say there were people living in the house until the mid 70's.

[@sheelfjohnson]

I think that goose decor and the slate blue color in some of the decor was an early 80s theme, or would you say 70s? I definitely saw a lot of things from the 70s. I wish he would look at the toiletry bottles for dates.

[@michelebrown5486]

The Seals and Crofts album would have been mid 70's.

[@lauraagliata6757]

Geese & Country Blue def 80's

[@karengould3996]

Love these video’s 🎉❤

[@debbiepochy6751]

I noticed all of that, and also that the refrigerator was from the 70's. They may have been there into the 80's or early 90's, because appliances lasted a long time then and older people did not usually upgrade. When my dad passed in 2014, I found the receipt from the dryer from 1979, the fridge was from the 70's and the stove was still going from the 1960's! They don't make them like that anymore!

I’m getting total 70s vibes not 50s. I believe the older woman in the photo frame was probably the owner while the younger lady looks to me like a high school graduate from the 70s. I don’t know I could be wrong but I am a child of the 70s/80s. Very nice video. I also had the 2nd doll from the left when I was a child.

Muchas gracias por compartir estas vivencias y descubrimientos tan fascinantes. Siempre me llama la atención estas casas tan llenas de cosas como si estuvieran esperando a sus dueños de un momento a otro. Esta casa es curiosa porque estando abandonada hace tanto tiempo y con hielo en algunas zonas, tiene algunas partes muy bien conservadas y con buena apariencia, como el baño y el dormitorio que aparece al final, que es precioso.

Hi, Lesley, at 24:44, it sounded like there was another explorer in there with you as you can hear them moving about. If not...that's a bit spooky! What a lovely old house! I like the way the plumbing is on the top of the wall, much easier to fix and they thought like me, "well, it's there, why not make a feature of it! Lol! Thanks so much for this amazing explore and I hope you eventually got nice and warm at your hotel!

[@Janadu]

Whoever saved the 1954 calendar might have saved it because he/she was born that year? Seals and Crofts was 70s. The microwave seemed modern, maybe early 80s? I can't understand why people would leave behind photographs. To me they're one of our most precious possessions in an ever changing world. Our family lost so many photos during a hurricane back in the 60s. My dad was heartbroken. He loved taking pictures and it was a great loss to him.

[@HappyHaddy]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and this is the first video of yours I've watched. The first room you entered, after the kitchen, would be called a breakfast nook, the other dining room would have been called the formal dining room. In the lounge room, with that amazing fireplace, I think you'll find the photo of the lady you referred to as a grandmother, is actually the lady of the house, most likely taken after her husband passed away. A lot of the more recent photos look like they would be her grandchildren. I had a giggle, when you said peacock lamp, it's actually a rooster 🐓 😊. When you climb or descend stairs, don't step right in the middle, instead step close to the sides, as the sides are stronger and therefore safer. The young man, in the graduation photo, is Kenneth (it's the only word I could read, lol). I thoroughly enjoyed your video and look forward to watching many more. Stay safe and happy travels. Blessings from Australia. 🌻🌻

[@missdella4990]

Never too late to start!

[@RhiannonsAdventuresInHistory]

Another great explore, and thank you for keeping honest to the art of Urban exploration. The date is closer to the early 90's I think. The vision cookware was popular in the late 70's early 80's, but a couple of photos are later 80's hairstyles, and one photo looked like the early 90's. I always wonder why if there are any surviving family, why they do not rescue some of the memories - especially the photos. But the one room with all the dolls looks like it was frozen in time - possibly because the daughter may have passed away and the parents wanted to keep it like that. I hope I am wrong. But by the photo of her, and the dolls (from the 1970"s) she would be in her late 40's early 50's now if she was still living.
