Abandoned 103 year old Mansion with luggage on the porch Chattanooga TN

[@cabinlifeatedensprings1710]

Can’t you just imagine how beautiful the place was back when it was filled with life. Think of all the family holidays spent there. It’s truly beautiful I hope someone buys it and restore s it. I live in Tennessee and there are some old homes that could be fixed up and brought back to their former glory Leslye

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

I would love to move rural and get a place I could do minor repairs to in that area. Some of the beauties in areas like Detroit have been vandalized beyond repair, but not this one. I love the area, and this place is wonderful.

[@cynthiabodnar3640]

An absolute huge THANK YOU for showing this video! All the fairytale walkways and almost pristine interior without graffiti was a pleasure to the eye. Loved the stairway although the somewhat "coachhouse" on the side of this home, looked almost like a fortress it was very nice to see someone's home that is tucked away like a hidden castle but so sad noone as of yet has come to recuse it. I pray someone does. Again, thank you!

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Thank you for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed it!

[@kittypurr11]

My dream house. Ohhhhh god, this is one of the most amazing properties I've ever seen. It's small enough to be cozy, and big enough to feel spacious and exciting. I'm in love.

[@grammgale58]

I love Chattanooga! I had my portrait drawn on the sidewalk once, wonderfully done in 1972. I am originally from Memphis, TN. My son lives in Humboldt, TN. I want one of those trunks! I am glad it is being restored!

[@rosemarymcneal5927]

thank u so much for not disturbing this beautiful house.

[@anngreen2222]

So sad, that no one cared enough to do the upkeep. I don't understand how anything, of such beauty could be abandoned. I live in Tennessee & wish I had the money to save such homes like this one.

[@FlamingRobzilla]

What a beautiful home with so much potential. It appears to be a craftsman type build that could be turned into a spectacular showpiece, or just a nice place to live with so little effort. I sincerely hope it ends up in the hands of people who can appreciate it.

[@subburajarao]

Abandoned places make me feel bad, for me it signifies situations beyond control, sadness, death or debility. I can imagine how bad the owners felt at the last moments leaving that place.!

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

On a happier note- the home was purchased at an auction recently and the new owners are restoring it.

*I just wanna know all these mansions, hotels, bungalows that are abandoned WHY? were people killed? Or it's just people are very rich to build here then abandon and to build there then abandon? And why can't the government demolish it if it's haunted?*

[@littlebit6211]

We are asking the same questions. We found out last month that 2 family members were murdered over 20 years ago and nobody told us. We tried to get the criminals living in my husband's 4 bedroom house arrested but the criminals were living in the beautiful home so they must be nice people. Wrong Wrong Wrong!! My husband's first wife is among the missing. What is so horrifying & mortifying is that criminals and batshit crazy people who have been using the name of the Victims & associated fraudulent identity aren't even being arrested. We stood with the death certificate & picture of one of our dead family members begging for the person living under their names and associated fraudulent identity to be arrested and even a picture of the Tombstone & the police won't arrest the people. We even have a message from a man who is getting paid as a SGT of a police department that doesn't understand the complaint!! The victims dead and we asked for the criminals responsible to be arrested.

[@watchergirl4christ]

I would not consider this a "mansion" but it was a beautiful home in its day.

[@carolynaitken7632]

It’s quite a big house isn’t it maybe that’s why it was abandoned the last owners maybe couldn’t afford to renovate it but I’m glad someone taking an interest!

[@lauraleckemby4113]

[@paulinethomas5688]

[@ElectricAngel19]

home was winterized according to notice on door. so i would say it's vacant NOT abandoned. there's a difference ya know. could be the owner lost it to the bank, sold it back to the bank, putting it up for sale or simply temporarily vacated to winterize then may move back in. point is there are more logical assumptions than just calling it abandoned point blank. the trunks look like junk needing hauled off is all. prob last of the trash to go. js.

[@sullymurphy3571]

Sign on door says, "Has been winterized." So someone must own it.

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Sully Murphy yeah, the bank owned it when the video was shot. This property was sold at auction about a week after this was shot.

It was foreclosed, sat empty for months bank took it over and winterized it prior to it going to auction.

[@babyrazor6887]

[@cameleonfleuri]

This house is not abandoned at all. If you read the paper on the front door (that have been put there quite recently if you look at the color and state of the paper), it says the house have been "winterized", which means most certainly that it's a summer house that have been properly closed and cleaned for winter and a security system installed. It's not closed since long because there are no spider webs on the padlocks and the floors are sparkling clean, no long accumulated dust there at all! Same thing for the windows, counters, etc. So yes, it's a beautifully and very old house with moss on its stones. You have been really respectful of the place and I hope others will do the same.

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

It had been recently taken over by the bank, which was about to auction it. It had not been lived in for years. The security system was years old and inoperable. Not at all a summer home. Fortunately the new owners are working to restore it.

[@cameleonfleuri]

@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Oh, I see! Thank you for the infos. :) And it's nice to know that somebody bought that house and is now taking care of it! Well you show so much respect for the ancient owners and the history of the place that, if I had an old abandonned house, I would be please the let you visit it.

It looked like there was a fish in the last trunk you opened. What is the story with buying these abandoned mansions? If there are no owners, can u squat on the property and then after a certain amount of time then its yours? I wouldn't do that just wondering how u get to own one if you are not a millionaire....even though it prob costs an outrageous amount to fix these places up, having to redo the entire structure. The land itself has to be worth allot....has to be a catch or people would be there.

Thank you for this great video. I cannot believe those trunks are in such good shape. Seems that Mother Nature would have taken its toll on them. Don't believe they've been out on porch for long. I want to also thank you for not breakng into this beautiful home. It was obvious by the pad licks etc. that this home is probably not abandoned and owned by someone. I have a feeling many of these explorers (I surely hope not) break into many of the videos shown. And why do they always carry back packs. They are not supposed to vandalize or steal anything during the explore. But those backpacks on up to five explorers with backpacks on one explore???? Why? Just curious cuz cameras are usually being carried in the hands. Does anyone know why all the backpacks on easy explorers????
