We still love ya 😀

[@webeeankylosingspindylitis7838]

Wow another great video Robb,the misspelling is ok :-)

[@crystalcloud6720]

Why do people have to be so destructive? Why can't they just see the beauty in these places and leave the way they found it? Angers me.

[@georgewilliamtussler5475]

Totally agree, Crystal....

[@lovemind8466]

Ya you can definitely see the beauty in this place, And as always people just destroy without hesitation. Karma though

[@bajemo359]

Because they’re losers.

[@kirkgill8506]

Me2 i agree

[@matthewdavis4981]

Barb Molitor Because there assholes

[@gtxhemi1]

the house belonged to Chatman Root,they owned Root glass company and produced the coke bottles, Chatman was involved in sprint car and indy car racing and had several well known drivers,in the 1960s he moved to atlanta Georgia and managed his Coca-Cola enterprise from there,he passed away in the 1980s.

[@Tom-yd1ur]

Owned a glass co. That explains all the panes used on this property in the greenhouse, over the pool, etc. Interesting.

[@donpoulson4455]

Nice explore would like have seen what it looked like before the growth and vandals got to it

[@wgforever4926]

I Agree

[@jamiegruenke3765]

That mansion has so much charm! That beautiful tile work, the fireplace hearth, the little plaques embedded in the brick around the pool! The graffiti and vandalism just hurts my heart and my eyes! 😡. Vandals suck!

[@beckyboman1641]

I have been looking for images of this place in its before days, unable to find but a few of the outside. It hurts me to see such amazing places left to decay, and be vandalized. It would cost millions to restore this one now.

[@nicole_beaumont]

Some of those architectural design elements are beautiful... great video Abandoned or not, my senses never quite cope with seeing the graffiti and destruction people cause in these places. It just shows a total lack of respect (IMO) these places should be enjoyed not destroyed..

[@georgewilliamtussler5475]

I totally agree with you, Nicole...no respect for anything!...

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Ikr, it's so beautiful, and left alone, it would have overgrown with vines but would still be gorgeous. I never understood why some people just want to destroy. . . But at least what's left of this place is preserved on video now forever. I love explorative videos like this!

[@johnnyratliff3881]

Hopefully thay can save it for the future

[@LibraBlue1962]

It looks like, even though the place was put up in the twenties, something didn’t go well for that family by the early 80’s.

[@steve19745]

Cam Rubi that family actually fell into more money and moved on up its too bad they didnt at least give somebody a free room to take care of this place though.it sucks vandals totally trashed this place

[@grammamamel]

Hey great explore!! Your videos helped me get through my breast cancer surgery and radiation. You took me places and kept me entertained, for all that I thank you.

[@pennyelmore4571]

Absolutely tragic that people would destroy these abandoned mansions and homes with graffiti and other malicious intents. 😢

[@angelahagerman5693]

I would love to see this mansion in its original setting..

[@livelaughlovethelife]

Do you ever get nervous about squatters in these places? Do you take anything to protect yourself? I went to Joyland Amusement Park Kansas-and it’s hard to not be afraid of finding someone at every turn. (I remember when you came here and explored it!) Makes it hard to enjoy the beauty of the abandoned when you feel nervous about safety. 😬😩

[@neilsharris]

Lacey Shields I grew up going to Joyland. Even when it was up and running it was uber creepy.

[@livelaughlovethelife]

Neil Harris me too! There’s something super cool about it though. Like a creepy cool lol

"And that man - he made the Coca Cola Bottle, and probably did some things afterwards, and that's how he got this mansion - which he then abandoned." Glad to know that you did some serious research before giving this presentation and we aren't just watching some idiot with no knowledge of history or architecture guiding us through this tour.

[@RnKAllDay]

Thanks man! I did extensive research on this but decided to really tell none of it bc i in all actuality dgaf

[@lizmitch8346]

Freemason home with symbols around! Bedroom up stairs that went outside, down to small room is probably were kept trafficking children!

[@Eric-1701]

This place is in Allendale, Indiana and is called "Rocky Edge". A weekend retreat of Chapman Root whose company designed the original curved body coke bottle. Interesting that HE gets the credit (as usually happens) when in reality he didn't have much to do with the design. The man who actually sketched the bottle design and produced the first prototypes was named Earl Dean, a staff machinist at Root Glass. Wonder if he made enough money to build a mansion? Somehow I doubt it. Still, this place is way cool. According to records the Root family sold thi property in the 1960s. From what I can find it may have been sitting empty for only about a decade. Last year the owners were going through a divorce and a judge ordered it sold.

[@mommieova3063]

Appreciate the back story

[@mandei1989]

Mannn, i can only imagine what it looked like before it got wrecked! That’s a really beautiful place 👍🏼😍

[@SRay-or3nc]

It was very hard to watch this video because of all the vandalism of such a nice place.

[@carolb3122]

Thank you for not bouncing around with the camera. I’m one of those that get kind of sick and dizzy watching those types of videos (can’t go to 3-D movies either) but I like watching videos of the old houses and imagining what the lives of the people that owned them might’ve been like.

[@nancyvolker3342]

those beautiful scenic tiles in the green house trashed with paint I wonder if they can be cleaned

[@edwinwelch1272]

It's sad. I cant even afford a home and these people can just throw it away like it's nothing

[@michaelsylvester8479]

Using my bfs account since I lost my phone. Love your videos. Its to bad it jist laid abandoned like this it has some really nice interior. Really cool find though. Keep up the great work. Loved the greenhouse one of my favorite parts

[@hotrodpop1973]

Raymond Lowey, I believe, is often credited with the design of the Coke bottle, but I think I read that he actually refined a previous design that remains to this day. An industrial designer, he was quite the renaissance man, and this house would have fit him to a tee; old photos show expensive suits and silk ascots! Also designed a famous airline logo, can't remember which one, as well as the gorgeous 1963 Studebaker Avanti, a car which was so far ahead of it's time for the period. A lot of retrofitting (dropped ceiling in the kitchen, new and cheap cabinets in that small kitchen that covered the arched alcove built into the old wall), such a shame that people back then couldn't recognize artistry when they saw it. Looked like a foundation by the outdoor kitchen area, wonder what was there? I love your stuff! Look forward to each episode. I really wonder which Coca-Cola man it actually was...

[@debrasue5986]

No, actually the bottle designs is one of the few things Lowey didn’t design for Coca Cola. The bottle was designed by the Root Glass Company. This mansion is called Rocky Edge and is in Indiana. This is the owner of Root Glass Company’s home. Chapman Root.

[@hotrodpop1973]

Thanks, Debra Sue, you're much more knowledgeable than I am obviously, so the Lowey Coke bottle thing is totally untrue, as I understood that he refined an existing design and sort of smoothed it out a bit? Seems the curves of the early 1900's bottle were much sharper and more exaggerated. Neither here nor there. Wonder why that beautiful house was ever left to rot...

[@debrasue5986]

Paul, I’m certainly not as knowledgeable as you on Raymond Lowey. The only reason I know about this home is because one of my sons did a paper on famous peoples homes in Indiana and this was one of them. I had no knowledge of Raymond Lowey until I read your comment. Thanks so much for sharing!! I looked into him a little bit after I read your comment. He was definitely an interesting and creative man! And you’re correct, in that he refined the original design. So essentially, both men designed the Coca Cola bottles 👍🏼😊

[@oldenweery7510]

@@hotrodpop1973 Yes, just a few days ago, another KZbin video attributed the invention of the Coke bottle to Raymond Loewy, but I just Googled it, and though several sites still attribute the bottle design to him, the site, "Coke and the Legacy of Raymond Loewy," says not. He _was_ part of the team that designed the larger bottles (the original contour bottle held only six or seven ounces). The site is fascinating: you see his design for everything from Coke coolers and dispensers to the special Coca-Cola delivery trucks. Debra Sue is right. Thanks Debra Sue!

[@hotrodpop1973]

@@debrasue5986, thanks for reassuring me that I hadn't been spreading false information for all these years! Lowey was indeed a fascinating individual. Any idea why the home has fallen into such disrepair? Definitely a shame, it must have been stunning in its heyday!

Sad that IDIOTS ruin old artifacts like this amazing mansion. Wonder why it was abandoned in the first place ? I'm sure it looked MILES better when it was left empty, than it does now. The minds that created these places, so many years ago, are amazing to me. Very intelligent people.

Do we know why it was abandoned? Or when? And is the guy still alive today? So interesting. Coke is SO MUCH BETTER than Pepsi. ❤️

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

I doubt he's still alive Coca Cola started somewhere around the early 1900's. I figure the bottle was made near 1910 or 1912.

I will never understand why people just abandon their beautiful homes for no apparent reason. If they no longer want it, they should sell it so someone else can enjoy it and take care of it. It saddens me to see this. It angers me to see the damage done by others. Why can't they show some respect and leave it unharmed.

A HUGE Thank you for sharing this Great explore of an iconic piece of history; The Rocky Edge Estate established in 1920 by Chapman J. Root, famous inventor of the green Coca-Cola bottle. This is an authentic piece of American history that I hope is preserved. The first Coca-Cola bottle, a world-famous trademark was created in 1915 at Root Glass Company, by Chapman J. Root, T. Clyde Edwards, Earl R. Dean, and Alexander Samuelson. Bottle design selected in a national competition. RNK what a GREAT explore even thru the destruction it's beauty still can been seen.☮✌

Start a petition to the "Coca Cola Co." to restore it, & use it as a bed & breakfast/ museum. It would be nice to save it, rather than watch all of that old world craftsmanship, & history rot away. They can afford to do it. 👍
