Makes me so sad to see old places like this go to rot and ruin when you think of the past that they had

[@SandaliAnu]

It's true

You guys MUST protect your breathing in those old buildings. Mold, asbestos, decaying materials, all will harm your health. Obtain some good quality face covers (in the US we call them "respirators"), then record a voice-over narration edit later. Awesome videos!

[@Kittydoc90]

wanketta is absolutely right and the damage can be insidious-one may not manifest any disease for years. You guys may be strong and healthy now, but aging happens to us all (if we're fortunate)-that's tough enough-and aging with a chronic, debilitating disease is doubly hard. You're young but not invincible! Be safe! Wonderful video, by the way.

[@SavannahFox90s]

yes, good point.

[@libertygiveme1987]

[@MadameSavage]

PUTE ISLAMIQUE That makes no sense. What does her name have to do with anything? What does a summer camp have to do with anything? People don't wear respirators at summer camp, hell its not even legal to have children in a home in such conditions, let alone a damn summer camp. The government health agencies would have a fit! I can't say with certainty that your statement was intended to be insulting, because it has no logical relevance which could be a sign of a language barrier or low intelligence level, but if you were intending to be an ass, you really suck at it. Mocking a name? Lmao What are you, 8?

Seeing a place like this leaves me in awe, and a little sad. I live in the States, and restore old houses. I love to bring them back to life and see family's enjoy them. It brakes my heart when owners let the roof go. Nothing destroys a house faster than a leaking roof. I hope they sell this, before it becomes to far gone to restore. Thank you so much for taking the time to film this.

[@mowlmowl5345]

lucy please please video some of your restorations and put them up here?? I miss watching this old house.....Love seeing new life breathed back into these old beauties!!! It is sad...if those walls could talk oh the stories they could tell! Even watching these videos is like seeing them open an old time capsule.

PLEASE pan around slower. I know you guys had to hurry but I felt motion sickness watching this :( ...you should have gotten the owner's permission first. Most people would probably be happy to let you walk around and may even be happy to share the history of the place.

[@Uttelito]

In the settings when watching a video you can slow down the speed, some things still get blurry but its a great way to see more.

[@indoororchidsandtropicals358]

Oh I did not know that. Thank you so much! Have you found out anything else about this place or who lived there? Also-I've seen a few videos of abandoned places and sometimes there are really valuable furniture pieces in them. It would be amazing if the owners could be hooked up with antiques people to save some of this amazing stuff.

Likely only beds that could b obtained when the need arose. Also would have taken up less room...than 4beds.. And could put more girls.

Ct Momma - It would take a lot of money to repair this home. I agree with you about letting the furniture go. The only problem is that nobody wants quality real furniture these days. They all want new. We are a rare breed that loves the originals. I want to cry for the loss.

I relate. Been to an abandoned small island. The empty houses, open doors, no windows .. empty shops, worship buildings... couldn’t help feel deeply within.

The emotions I experienced are hard to describe in written words but to put it in one word.. it was definitely sorrowful. I’ll never forget it my whole life.

Logan Stroganoff why ? Don’t you know that there’s something called the “ clean air act “? Not everyone likes the smell of that stuff. And it’s just dangerous to smoke in a dry atmosphere like that.

You would be surprised how many people would let you in to see these places if you only asked. The toilet you thought was a toilet is called a Thunder Mug in the USA. Used for prior to indoor plumbing. Also used in Sick rooms. I saw no kitchen was there none? Also I agree with Asankaw1, move the camera slowly, it will focus better and we can see what your filming. Otherwise. Ask befor trespassing. In the USA it could get you shot.

[@oldfoxbob1]

***** That is where you are wrong nvsbl2...For example Nebraska has what is nicknamed "kill your neighbor' law. A person has the right to used deadly force to protect his/her family and property from theft and in the event of threat of physical harm or death. A case in point. Back in 1989 ( I think that is the date) a farmer has a barn that was broken into often. He stored antique cars there and often parts were stolen off of those cars. His insurance company said he needed to take action to protect his property or they would no longer cover him. So he set up a shotgun at the door. If the door lock were broken off and the door opened the shot gun would shoot the person coming into the building. This is exactly what happened. A person did indeed break the lock and when opened the door got hit in the chest with bird shot from the gun. He later died in the hospital. The court found the land owner guilty of justifiable homicide Which is the only law you do want to be found guilty of. So the farmer went home scott free. However the wife of the robber sued the farmer for wrongful death. Saying in the law suite that her husband now being dead was no longer able to provide for her in the fashion that she was used to. She won in court and the farmer had to sell all he owned to pay the debt. Is that fair? No its not. But that is the law. So you see there are laws in states that DO allow for shooting robbers of property and not a threat of life and limb.

[@bonniecat5346]

Robert Hersh-geer that's one heck of a story

[@WitchidWitchid]

Oh yes...In the USA they can shoot you. many states allow you to stand your ground and shoot to protect your property from intrusion.You have to remember, the gun is an integral part ofAmerica

[@jeniwatkins3297]

Not everywhere. Some states you are allowed even if you are not in danger

[@oldfoxbob1]

That is true. But in one posting by these guys, the power was on in the hunters cabin,,,,,that to me says that the people who own this place are coming back and what he/they did is to "break and enter" which is illegal in ALL countries everywhere. That is my point.

I know you were in a hurry to show us everything before the caretaker found you there, but in my opinion, it would have been better to only show us two or three of the rooms and take more time videoing them than rushing through the many rooms at such a hurried pace. It was very difficult to see much because you were planning your camera so fast most of it was just a blur... I loved the shot of the beautiful stove and fireplace you showed us!!! I would have enjoyed seeing more about that stove and the marble inlay of the mantle!!! 😉 You mentioned that there were a lot of paintings and pictures in this old house... I caught a glimpse of a photo on the wall I would have liked to have been able to see it better. As always, thank you for sharing this adventure with us but please, next time maybe pick just a couple of rooms and take your time giving us lighted detail of all your finds!! I would have loved to have seen more of that marble mantle and the very ornate stove that was there, and also The woodworking on the closets, chairs and beds!!!! Thanks again, Cutie's !!!!

[@syedaanjum896]

why don't u tell the background history of houses?

[@TheColonelKlink]

Maybe the house is old but it has modern plumbing, central steam heating and .ca 1940s electrical wiring. The old style light switches can easily be seen. Clearly inhabited well into the 20th Century.

[@MrDBarch]

actually, that wiring and those switches were far older than the 40s. i would suggest about 30 yrs older than that, probably around circa 1910 1915.... wires were inside the walls by the 40s, and dbl switches had been invented and were widely used as a standard. the reason those wires are on the outside, is because that house was built before electricity was used indoors, and it was added at an early date, minimally. thats how they first started to install electricity in houses at the very beginning, by running wires outside the walls, it was an afterthought. Early 1910, 1915. the plumbing isn't 40s either, i would also say about 1910-15

[@westelaudio943]

@@MrDBarch I've seen houses from the 50s with this type of wiring. It's just easier and cheaper to do it that way in a stone house. The ceramic switches are definately older (1910s/20s) but the bakelite ones are more recent.

If this were in America everything would have been stolen and the house destroyed. It's truly amazing.

[@christineingram55]

The drier you thought is an old iron that irons flat like they use in laundries for ironing the clothes..very quick too 😀 The pot with a lid looked like an Urn ..It is a beautiful villa loved it ,Thank you boys 😀

[@14Titus]

That newspaper you found dated June 1978 in that old house is when I was born. Awesome find!!!!

[@MichaelCOtto]

Great find guys what a amazing place. May I offer constructive criticism, if you could slow your camera sweep down so we can see what your eyes see. There's so much detail that we can't grasp and with the beautiful places you find I want to see as much as one can. You guys seem to find the jewels of lost places. How do you locate these? Maybe that's your secret but as always a great find. You guys are becoming masters of presenting lost in time places, keep up the great work.

Kaye Barnett Giving helpful advice on what to fix (constructive criticism) is alot different then just criticism or saying your video sucked.

[@judisnyder4868]

It's called a chamber pot. Used in the bedroom as a toilet. The padding around it is used as a seat!

[@conipresnal88]

The Singer item looked like a presser, a factory style iron, for pressing drapes and larger items

[@gloriahanes6490]

Pressing Catholic uniforms and collars for appearance sake.

That's a language slip. Numbers in german are said the other way round. I hope you do realise english is not their native language...

[@tobflipped]

Interesting MAgus L, I just thought he may have dyslexia, I didn't know that. Thank you for that info! Oh, and it might be a little hard not to realize that their native language isn't English. haha

Bros Of Decay you are just precious.

[@mycatsnameiskaren8253]

If you haven't already looked up the newspaper, I did a little research. This house was possibly a clergy house for Catholic priests. This also may help you understand the religious statues, etc. "Aid to the Church in Need". In 1947 he founded Aid to the Eastern Priests, which shortly after became the aid organisation, Aid to the Church in Need. His relief organisation provided food and clothes for millions of East German refugees. In his appeals he preached compassion and reconciliation, and eventually encouraged many people to support the cause. Many supporters donated goods and food, rather than money; sides of pork were often donated, and van Straaten became known as the 'Bacon Priest'. The initial goal was to aid refugees who fled or were expelled from Eastern Europe in the wake of the Second World War, many of them Catholic.[1]

Very stunning home! Wow, the paintings, those beds were gorgeous! Thanks so much guys for sharing, I love this and I want to start doing this, exploring not video taping. I have always had a fascination w/ abandoned old houses.

What an awsome home must have been fabulous in its heyday ! Such sadness too see it like that x

[@injunmick8498]

Come on guys, no exterior views? What a beautiful home that must have been at it's prime. Obviously built before central heat, is why there are fire places in all rooms. And then the radiators were installed after they were invented. Cool video guys, but exterior? ;0)

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Maybe the boys don't want it to be known to everyone. They are very respectful and what they do but many people would just use it to break into

[@paulbunyon2889]

At 1:41...."I just found a paper, from 1978". And the paper clearly says 1987. Lol

Thanks doe

[@marycontraree7135]

I grew up in a Victorian house. My father paid $16.000 for it in 1972. What was expensive were the heating and electric bills. I wish we still owned it. The home was magical. I live in south Florida in a concrete box right now. All of the homes here are ugly compared to the old Kentucky homes. I've walked out of the victorian era into a sewer. These homes are precious and beautiful and should be kept in top shape at all times. It's against the law to alter a victorian house in Kentucky. You can get in huge trouble. I need to go back. It's so ugly here. 😭

[@TheWatanna]

Beautiful building, but, why go so fast that the camera kept going blurred, It was such a shame.

[@unchainyourbrain3312]

Everything shown was amazing.The chandelier...absolutely beautiful.TFS.

[@IngePotzuweit-rb8ui]

you need to slow down with your panning the camera....too many jerky moves, unfocused shots....can't enjoy the details....YOU GO TOO FAST, SLOW DOWN....I won't watch your videos anymore

[@usfanlovesjiwoo1978]

Did you even watch the beginning of the video?? They were not allowed in the house so they had no choice but to be fast or they might get caught. You won't watch his videos anymore? Sheesh, such a baby you are.

[@maddydelatorre]

No one asked you to continue watching his videos anymore you crybaby. No one gives a shit if you stop watching them. There is a option to slow down videos ffs.

[@StephanieLovesFall]

I have been watching a lot of your videos today. very nice. I love older homes and their stories and the traces of life left behind. I really appreciate and enjoy your channel. I will continue to watch because you are so respectful of the memories of the homes. I would like to see close ups of the paintings and photos you find that are hanging up in your videos too. keep up the good work

[@emmaponymous]

This looks a lot more like a boarding school abandoned in the 20th century.

[@killjoywhodraws5090]

Em P I don't think so, because there are things much older than the 20th century in the building, like chamber pots.

[@izzzyee]

Em P probably built in the 18/19th century but I agree it was probably abandoned sometime around 1940’s

Well apparently they aren’t in the house with the owners blessing, so I imagine that’s why they don’t have a flashlight

@@sassytbc7923 Most all explorers, explore without the concent of the property owner. However, they also explore mostly long abandoned properties. Most of them use some type of flashligh on or with their video so people can see what they are showing us.
