[@TalkTalk44]

I love the Morris Minor ,what a find ,holding someone will fix up and Cherish it.Hearts on the fireplace ,someone's sweetheart .

[@MrStevbld]

I remember those Morris Minors being fairly common in Adelaide in the 1960's and 1970's. Our next door neighbour had a green one back in the 60's. Rare these days!

[@almaberthelson6139]

OMG! I do hope someone will restore that Beautiful car. It's got to have BIG value, I'd be proud to drive her around town! 💋

[@kathygardner9855]

Beautiful stained glass in the second place, as well as those phenomenal fireplace mantles & tiling...I’d love to own those pieces..gorgeous 👍🏻❣️

[@desireecollins1617]

I absolutely love these old villas you will never see beautiful grand old houses like this again it is such a shame these homes take me back to my childhood i lived in a similar home Love from Johannesburg South Africa💝💝💝thank you for a super channel💞💞💞

[@sheilahadden302]

That old Morris Minor would make some collector very happy, I'm sure. These two homes were great examples, the fire places in the second home were beautiful. Thanks for the tour and I look forward to the next one!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Well said Sheila! :-) I suspect someone will be coming back for the Morris as to leave that behind is hard to believe! lol :-) Cheers for watching

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Both very nice houses with great fireplaces and mantles worth restoring, and a very nice car worth a bundle, great explore.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it rolf, yep save all those of features and restore them.....wish the homes had a more promising future...... :-( Thanks for watching

[@normanjones8089]

Totally love these places. The first one looks ready to be lived in. Enjoy your awesome videos my friend.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Norman! :-) Yes these are great old homes, I would love one of them!!! :-) Thanks for the support :-)

[@sallya.2412]

I love these old houses, the archways, ceilings and fireplace. A really nice classic look. Big house and backyard. I wouldn't mind having a place like that.

[@leabarto8156]

Great homes and that car....wow! I love the architecture. The stained glass is beautiful. Thanks for the early morning(for me) tour.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Lea and good morning to you! :-) Thanks for watching

[@cincyzoe]

The fireplace and mantle behind the mattress was absolutely gorgeous. ❤

[@YtGad7000]

Wow! The tile work in the second houses fire place is gorgeous. I also love the wooden mantle with the hearts carved out to match the tiles. I sincerely hope someone will recycle the entire fireplace.

[@timareskog2418]

Looiking at the 1st house, I was amazed to see it had never been electrically rewired as it still only had the 1 electrical outlet per room. The exception being in the 1970's revamped kitchen. It's obvious the rear yard once had a good collection of fruit trees and those grape vines look like they are 80-100 years old. Looking at the Ledlight of the first house brought memories of how cold they these places are in winter, and similarly just how hot they can become in a prolonged heat wave, I'm certain I could actually smell it there for few seconds. Thank you for sharing the walk through.

[@tisjstme5315]

I love the unusual setting of the mantle in that first room of the first house, with the curved/fanned on the left and railled on the right. The second mantle was beautiful too even with its symmetry. The ceiling roses being all different, I noticed they did that a lot back then, but I can never figure out which is my favourite. I guess they all are. Wow, that water filter is worth a bit. Not in price but in what it does. I have had one in both my homes for the past 15 - 20 years. They are a godsend when the dams were down at 25% in the early 90's. They had to add so much more chemicals to the water then and the filter removed all that chlorine taste and smell. I love the squeak on those old doors and the old coloured deep baths. Mum's was just like that one. Have seen many toilet seats like that with shells and flowers but never barbed wire and screws. The second house, I saw a fig tree as you went in. Mum had pressed tin ceiling in the lounge and kitchen. Lounge was a floral pattern, kitchen was checkered with sort of mottled spots in the middle of them and a stitch effect between the squares. Just like that but the inner squares where larger with a thin border between. I like the green flowered tiles on the fireplace and the dark wood mantle. Sad to see it so trashed in parts. Had a door key like that. Is that an old Morris Minor car, with the side wall flipper blinkers? My Auntie had one, her's was the 1960's model in silvery grey. Followed by the Morris Major, cream with a brown wing. Can't wait for the third house. Thanks for another look back into the/my past.

[@wendyhou3416]

The first home was absolutely beautiful, move in ready. The second one looks like someone purchased it and was renovating when the developers came along. I remember my dad having a Morris minor soft top and recall as a child him gong up a hill and the wheel fell off and rolled back down the hill - broken wheel bearing 😂

[@BenjaminLSmith]

Wow! I really enjoyed seeing these old villa’s. There are so many old fashioned characteristics. The hallway arches are my favorite architectural feature. They make a grand statement. Thanks for another awesome explore.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed them Benjamin :-) Yep have to agree on the arches mate, they are my fav too! Thanks for watching :-)

[@sandypritchard6216]

Very nice tour. Both homes are interesting and great to go through with you. Love the keys, stainless steel kitchen sinks, door knobs, arches, fireplaces, old car, and..on and on. Love that toilet lid. Wouldn't mind doing one. Would like a steam punk version tho.

[@customscreenprinting]

Thanks my friend for sharing this video with me i am from the U.S.A i enjoy watching your video you tube videos . i really enjoyed this video house built int early 1800's Abandoned - 2 grand old villas !/ classic features !/ found classic car ! /stuff left behind / built 1910 it was a very nice house my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and besafe and healthy my friend and thanks again.

[@nicholasaslanides9703]

Excellent, excellent finds, the first I have heard/seen the idea of a 'summer kitchen'. Very interesting vids, beautiful, beautiful homes. Even the sheds were interesting. A good bit of a luck with the 2 morris minors. They are nicknamed 'lowlites'. Edit: the second kitchen may have been a 'scullery' originally.

[@donnarawlinsfrench220]

Pedantic car nut here: this black beauty isn't a "lo lite" - those, built between 1948-50 had the headlights down on either side of the grille, hence the nickname. The black beauty in this video has the headlights up in a more conventional position on the mudguards. It could be a 1952-54 model, due to the dashboard instrument panel and the rear of the bonnet line. How do I know all this "fascinating" detail? I own both a lo-lite 2 door (1950) and a hi-lite convertible (1955). This video is excellent, as are all the Urbex Indigo vids - wonderful homes, interesting locations, all hugely enjoyable. Many thanks! And I hope someone rescued the car!

[@thevacdude]

Lovely houses. Thanks for the tour, Paul.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it, my pleasure thevacdude :-) Thanks for watching :-)

[@donellemiller6680]

Love the 2nd one the best. Leaded glass always steals my heart. And the majority of the house is rough but original. Thanks for both tours Paul, enjoy these old homes so much.

[@urbexindigo5164]

You are so welcome Donelle :-) Yeah the second one won me over with the original layout and old kitchen still there. The newer kitchen would have been a small bedroom like the one in the first home in my opinion. :-)

[@julzcares]

I absolutely enjoyed viewing your explore of two charming old turn of the 20th century stone symmetrical villas that gracefully line the Adelaide streets, both with original high ceilings, architraves, ornate fire places and detailed internal door fittings. Both the villas appear to have upgraded roofs, keeping the shape of the existing bullnose verandahs. Both the facades of the villas are made out of existing stone with brick quoins. The first old blue stone villa has contrasting light painted brick quoins and the lime stone home has heritage red painted quoining. Characteristics that I absolutely appreciate with old South Australian architecture. To top off the explore, what a great surprise to find a golden oldie Morris Minor. Such a unique and fascinating explore thanks Urbex Indigo. It is a pity that both the beautiful old villas will soon be demolished instead of restored to formal glory.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Julz! Yep well spotted with the new roofing and they also have both had the brick chimneys removed probably when the did the roof. I think one chimney was still in the second home! Two classics and the large yards again have made them an unlucky target! Cheers for watching again Julz :-)

[@user-randi1987]

Nice homes with some great stained glass and really nice fireplaces. That car was quite the plus. So sad they will probably be torn down. Thanks, Paul

[@crystalmcmahon302]

Wow love love that car it’s beautiful and so are the homes love seeing them thank you for sharing this you have wonderful weekend 😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

It is a real classic hey! Glad you enjoyed Country Girl, thanks for watching :-)

[@terrycassidy31]

Hello from Palm Springs California ! The interior of that 1st villa was so well kept. I really loved it! What a shame to demolish such character :( I have noticed so many of the villas you have explored have the same floor plan, long hall, curved archways, and rooms on either side. Style of the era. Very special :) Thanks for sharing ❤

[@bevcd3625]

Wow 🤩 the highlight for me was the vintage car. Love old classic cars. Thank for another awesome video mate. 👍🙏✌️

[@Pruzie83]

Two lovely old villas with still some beauty left. A bit of a clean up and repaint id so love to own one of these. I hope the Morry goes to a nice home to restore. I'll have to show this to my Dad, an old school mechanics dream!!! Great find once again👍

[@lladylobo1]

Such great places. The hall arches seemed almost identical as well as some of the fireplaces. I was impressed with the many ceiling rosettes in the first home. They seemed to be all different. The first home was in immaculate condition. It's a crime that it will be torn down. The Morris-Minor was something else. A collector's dream. Good explores again. Thanks.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Doreen :-) Yes these homes are identical layout and the first one would have had the old kitchen in the same place as the second one. I`m guessing someone is going to collect the Morris Minor as how could you leave that behind! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)

[@mightymo3044]

Hi. loved these Villas. the second 1 had more of a homely feel with all the origanal features. I don't think it works when they modernize them they don't look right. Loved the old Morris Minor. what a great find fancy leaving that behind. Loved when you sped up over that grass to escape any snakes, it was like a scene from a silent movie lol. You done us proud wiith these 2 finds Urbex. Tfs. :-)

[@theseamstress6315]

Cool old wood stove the architecture is very nice, I liked the ceiling rosette around the light fixtures. The fireplace mantles were all lovely. I enjoyed these explores. Thanks for taking us along.the second villa was cool features too I liked the old car too.

[@phyllisj2]

Great finds! Love the fireplaces, and the old car was awesome!

[@jennypursche4488]

When I was a child my neighbour had a car like that. Their mum would pile us all in and take us to netball matches on Saturdays. It's had to believe now there was probably 8 of us squashed into that little car. Oh, wow that just brought back memories,.😊

[@Katey2012able]

Lovely pressed tin lined kitchen! Thank you for doing this video!

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Thank you for the tour of these homes. My aunty had a morris minor, that car took her everywhere, very good running on petrol.The sections are huge a developers dream.

[@claire040776]

The brown tiles / splash back in the kitchen reminds me of the tiles that were in my Grandma's kitchen.

[@claire040776]

Love the pressed tin roof & walls in the original kitchen in the second place!

[@mbaker8754]

Enjoy looking at the old house s good job

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed M Baker! Cheers for watching :-)

[@breezeyb3535]

2nd building...when you moved the mattress, I fell in love with the fireplace and mantle. Front room by front door, isn't that fireplace so beautiful too?! The old car brings some smiles! :)

[@denisewright7255]

Hi really enjoyed the old houses .The fire places are so beautiful. So sad they wont be around much longer.

[@YtGad7000]

Very unique mantle on the fire place. Haven't seen one like that before!

[@joharmon2148]

Love them both. The first one with the add ons kind of got disjointed with the changes. The second house had really nice leaded glass entry and the tiles on the fire places were really nice. Can't believe they left that fabulous old car behind. Good finds once again Paul

[@anaixtar6793]

Very nicely done video ! I will have to run thru it again since it had so many neat things to comment on... but the old Morris Minor !.... I had an old old fellow as my neighbor when I lived in the UK- and he had an ancient Minor of 1950's vintage very like that one -- and he sometimes let me drive it around the village (since he knew I liked old cars)--- My !! but it was small ! and noisy, -- burned oil -- and had springs that were like solid bars of iron- but oh what fun it was to drive ! A tiny little toy car. Thanks for another smashing post ...... I'll have another go-thru of it later ....... :)

[@cincoy3679]

Love the old kitchen. I would love to cook on. We go to a cabin that has a 1900 old stove wood burning. It cooks better then my gas stove.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Awesome! They knew how to make them back then and to last too! :-)

[@cincoy3679]

@@urbexindigo5164 Yes they did. Wish l could find a home that had a working one. I would love it. Have a nice day. Thank you loved it.

[@vickimorrow1674]

I have realised how much I’ve learnt from your videos when I started watching The Block this year.

[@urbexindigo5164]

I`m so glad to hear that vicki :-) I have learned so much from these old places and love learning more and more! I have many more to come :-) Thanks for watching :-)

[@kellysaunooke740]

I really like the exterior of these homes They all are different. The interior seems to be the same with nice fireplaces,arches and tall doors.The architecture is interesting. Down in the US we don't have homes like this.I like the ceiling medallions too.Thanks for sharing.

[@jdexploresfan3628]

Super nice explores mate. Love the arch ways and the stain glass. Would be awesome if both could have been refurbished. Thanks for the awesome adventure 😃👍

[@claire040776]

Usually Im not a fan of lino on floors; but I love the lino in what you described as the formal dining room ..... it is a cool print!

[@brendendale2616]

Hi Buddy, wow! Two really great explores. The lovely old Morris was the icing on the cake. Thank you for taking us along. Take care and stay safe. Cheers from Tassie.👍😁

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Brenden! :-) One of my fave explores for a while for sure! Cheers mate :-)

[@joandunn7172]

Liked the first one I could live in that, bit of a shame about their fate. Glad the vandals haven't got at them. Many thanks.

[@phyllisj2]

I haven’t visited in awhile! Good to be back!

[@donettemiller7817]

Beautiful homes. So much history & character. I've never seen this kind of car before, first thought is was a volkswagon Beetle. I love seeing old cars like this restored. Great find Paul. 🙋‍♀️💜🇺🇸

[@dianemakarevitz798]

Interesting and fun explore, Paul. Bet that car is worth some money! Be safe, be well! ☮️❤️

[@conniespiteri7623]

Awe Wow! A Morris Minor, I had one early 70’s light green in colour I loved it I used to call it a baby FJ it had bucket seats and 4 on the floor. I remember going around a roundabout and the left hand wheel went flying passed us, I parked on the roundabout and my friend and I chased the wheel passed a set of lights, it traveled a fair way before it came to rest just before a bridge lol talk about laughter. What wonderful memories.

[@pennywebb867]

🤣😂🤣 same kind of adventures that I had with my first car, '64 beige VWBug. Never had a wheel come off but could fit all my possessions and my dog in it. Fun times.

[@lauran7170]

Such a lovely explore. I really liked the stain glass in both houses. Loved seeing the car, so cool to find gems like that. Thank you for the awesome explore!! Be safe and take care!! 👍😊

[@HartAngel5]

Thank you for the little trivia about Aussie homes' bedrooms being in the front of the houses. I'm from the U.S. and we're generally opposite, so you can imagine I was sometimes a little thrown which side of the house you were in when you pointed out the bedrooms.

[@tatertott2390]

Oh my goodness I LOVE that pressed tin 😻😻😻😻😻

[@christineryan9684]

Beautiful homes I just love the ornament features remind me of my grandparents home

I just love these old homes. Great video.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Sandra :-) Thanks for watching :-0

[@windhorse4straveler647]

Amazing fire places on the second one and the stained glass was spectacular! A Morris-Minor-heard of them but never seen one.

[@typingdude4833]

Wow those old homes really had personality, each one had it's own character. I like those old coal fireplaces- coal was used mainly from 1880-1930. They were smaller and shallower than wood fireplaces. I truly hope some of them end up on a historic register so they can be preserved. And hey- you should seriously contact the nearest car museum or auto restoration shop and tell them about the car. That's heritage on wheels right there.

[@cheryla5504]

Loved the 2 houses, especially the second with the stunning fireplaces. Wondering why owners would left a classic car just there not take it with them.

[@Jacquie571]

Great find, love those old house, they have so much Character, those homes can be beautifully renovated, though it would cost you heaps ...keep em coming xoxxo

[@leftykim]

So pretty and unique!

[@meganpaull6140]

Oh my gosh I’m in love with the house already as soon as you started the walk through I wish I could have it. It’s funny I can imagine seeing myself in the place those ceiling roses are so beautiful and the stained glass is gorgeous. Oh I hope it doesn’t get demolished it would be really sad to it go when it could be lived in again I just can’t believe anyone would want to leave a place so beautiful and empty thank you again for a wonderful tour I look forward to them always ☺️

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Megan thanks for watching! :-) I wish one of them were mine too! haha I love these old places. The huge yards make the developers jump for joy unfortunately.......shame to see them sit empty

[@helengrunow5094]

Interesting rewatch. Cheers!

[@anitapresnell6403]

Even though the first house has many changes, it still has a lot of the original features and is quite charming.

[@cincoy3679]

The stained glass is great. Love that the color is so different back then.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Agreed Cin Coy :-) Cheers for watching

[@patriciacrivello7191]

Love the art deco on the ceiling and the stained glass so far

[@claraholcomb3421]

Beautiful tiles on the fire place it was in rougher shape than the last house but more oeiginal hardware.

[@kellysaunooke740]

Cute old car THANKS FOR THE INFO.

[@belleange590]

LOL the loo on the first house. I didn't see any closets in the rooms?? Looks like someone was trying to get the good stuff out of the second home. That original kitchen is awesome. Amazing find. The fireplace mantel in the first bedroom!!!!! I definitely would of taken that with me if that had been my house. I have not seen that design on the fireplace before. Interesting. Maybe those engine parts were for that car.

[@stephaniemetts4788]

Beautiful house thanks Paul

[@MushroomFromMars]

Certainly esp the first home maybe a recent split rental the w/2 kitchens. These beauties feel like old friends, ornate fireplace's, n rosette's, battling on life support that's about to be turned off. Loved living in them except the cold winters. And someone's got to save that Morris. Great upload, keep em' up, cheers.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Gene :-) These era homes are my favorite I think. I really would like to live in one! I rent a cool old Bungalow with nice features but these homes I really would love to own......... :-) Yep sitting ducks waiting for their day of reckoning sadly. Thanks for watching Gene :-)

[@asilversurfer4372]

It's a shame that in the name of progress these lovely homes will be lost, I can't imagine that the new homes will be as lovely or as spacious.

[@lindalewis5066]

The first fireplace mantel was quite unique. Never seen anything like that. Weirdest toilet seat ever. 🤔 The front door stained glass design matched the green fireplace in the other room. That car is a collector item!

[@julieamerican2383]

Really cool fireplaces. Would they have burned wood or coal? I hope you do get to tour the third. Thank You, and stay safe.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Julie! :-) Originally the burn wood and the decorative metal plates are an extra they put in front when not using or yes convert to using small coal bricks :-) Thanks for watching

[@shirleycoles3652]

I always wanted a Morris Minor,loved them,in there day, very interesting, thank you

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Shirley :-) Thanks for watching again :-)

[@omalleetours3456]

Those keys were awesome

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep they were! Imagine carrying those around in ya pocket haha :-)

[@christinebritcher-viviyan5080]

loved the fireplaces - very much hope they get salvaged but a lot of care would be required to do this

[@MrGaryRoberton]

interesting how the old Minor got left all this time, usually the collectors would have them away in a hurry. I could almost see the senior living in the first house The second was long empty. Amazing how the metal scrappers find the places first. Must be decent money in recycling there. Cheers .

[@Portaltotheparanormal70]

I just love watching you show us these poor villas doomed for .destruction , such a shame that this happens ehen some can be saved . Cmplete withboriginal features i love these okd places !

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Julie! :-) Yes such a shame to know these will most likely meet the wrecking ball when all is approved. My dream home is one like these......dream being the reality lol :-)

[@Katey2012able]

Love the Morris Minor, too!

[@garykoehler1588]

It's is such a shame to see these old aussie houses slowly disappearing.. If they could I'm sure they'd have some stories to tell.. Love these videos.. 👍

[@janacollins-maguire4942]

What a cool old car!

[@tek-hunter]

Awesome homes - that craftsmanship could never be re-created. The Loo With A View toilet seat sells for $99! Checked their FB Page - even offer matching loo paper!

[@frugalaussie7582]

In old mantelpieces in South Australia, check under and around the mantelpiece. There were often secret hidden compartments storing money, old photos and jewellery before safes became fashionable. Run your finger along and pull and press (check for spiders).

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

This was just a fantastic explore, Paul!!! That first house was really something, it , in no way, needs to come down. Huge back yard- it looked like they had a small pole barn in the back- was it a horse shelter of some kind? Also, was I hearing chickens in the background? The second house, I wasn't too keen on, but, with the experience of my own house, all that rolls through my head are dollar signs to fix it up. I do hope someone will salvage the parts which can be reused, as too much goes to the dump. The car was gorgeous, never heard of that make/model, but am assuming it is valuable. Thanks for braving the cobwebs, once again, lol....-----Gerri (SDK)

[@janetwalker3541]

Paul do you know if the developers sell any of the contents to people renovating homes in the city that want an antique vibe? I know in Canada and the u.s.a. there is a bit of a wave using old farm house and antique decor. Those medallions above the lights are incredible and also the Arches with the wood trim! The wood floors and the doors as well as the ornate fireplaces would be great to reuse too! Oh I hope some of these things are salvaged before tearing them down!!

[@roxiesinesh1845]

considering the age of this home, 1900. The Family took pride in their home, it looks great.

[@breezeyb3535]

The first house is so nice compared to what I pay to rent. I don't understand why people are allowed to tear down such nice places!

[@francoiset1068]

Wow Paul, this was amazing what find ,I absolutely loved those two beautiful homes,I'm shocked of why the developers just keep on demolishing such great houses to build boxes of characterless townhouses or units ,I would love one of those to renovate and that gorgeous car I would restore it it would be just a dream as I love all that's old, vintage ,antique they are the best things that I enjoy even the fashion ok that's enough 🤣😂I love your work , have a great n safe weekend Paul 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺💝👍👍👍👍👍👋

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Frenchy Francoise :-) I knew you would enjoy these ones! haha. I wish you could have them to renovate and the car to restore! Shame they are just sitting like this all lonely now. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)

[@vickyburgess162]

Thanks I enjoyed the one. 😊

[@elmin82]

both stunning houses

[@ghostrider9978]

First congratulations on hitting 20 k subscribers, ,,, this was an awesome find mate and one of of your longer efforts as well.When the car was mentioned I was tempted to fast forward but I stayed the course and really well worth it. Those yards are epic and hopefully you can report back one day on what replaces those great old homes after the development finishes.The cooker ,that fireplace,stained glass,,,too much to mention but I’d love to know what that oven/ kiln was used for so I’ll track the comments for a few days. Also the car research is very appreciated. Keep up the great work.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey mate! :-) Yeah longer video this one but worth it, wanted to keep them together as it felt right when watching it back instead of dividing the video. :-) I will keep an eye on them for sure mate as I hope to get a look in the 3rd one when the people move out. Yeah the kiln iv seen before out back of these old homes before, pottery and those types of things? And pizzas of course! haha Cheers for watching again mate :-)

[@jezkendall1893]

Wonder what happened to the Morris Minor, been working on one of these for the past couple of years in the UK.

[@darlenejordahl3187]

The house is huge and still beautiful. It looked like in the fireplace rooms, there looked like corner cupboards have been removed because there are lines on the floor. It’s too bad the old and new areas are so different.😊

[@elizabethwest7152]

When they demo these homes do they remove the architectural details for salvage sale?? Ie. Tile,fireplace surround,old hardware

[@FogartyAvenue]

Egg-c-lent vid. Watched the whole thing. Epic find.

[@darlenefehr2111]

Gorgeous house
