Abandoned Collapsing 1970's Mansion - Multiple Classic Cars left

Vacated in 1973, sits a property first inhibited in the 1800's . Scattered across the vast property are tokens of the past, old American cars, and outdated technology. Most places that become abandoned are simply forgotten , but today we document the history as it still stands to tell a story. Other than that, there's simply no other clues how this magnificent mansion was left behind. Use the video as a guide and comment what you think may have happened here!

I live really close to Winderbourne Mansion. From what I gathered from it, it was built in 1884 by a union civil war veteran who was a DC lawyer who built the house for his family. The house was painted bright pink with a dark rose trimming for the family’s love for flowers and gardening. The family was made up of the father, mother, and three children. All three of the children caught typhoid fever and 2 of them died. The mother committed suicide in the stairwell. Later on, a new family moved in, and they hired a babysitter for their child. The child died after sliding down the wooden railing and died when they hit the floor. The place has a tragic history Btw it’s in Germantown, Maryland

Thank you so much for sharing the tragic story of this incredible house... I felt right away how much it was loved, the colors you said it was validated my knowing.

[@whattheheck1000]

Apparently, this house was abandoned in 2004, someone lived here until they died that year. Some of the things left behind date to as late as the early 1990s. But although this house may have only been officially abandoned for 16 years, it was probably decaying long before that. A historic building survey said it was in "fair" condition in 1974, on a scale of "excellent", "good", "fair", "deteriorated", and "ruins". Today it would be considered "ruins". If the building had still been in good shape at the time of its abandonment, chances are it would still be structurally intact - and restorable with some significant effort, maybe on the good end of "deteriorated". I've seen numerous buildings abandoned far longer than 16 years that were of similar build quality to this one and were in much better shape. Here's what I think happened, and this is a common theme that happens to far too many houses. The house becomes aged and "worn out". With significant restoration, it can be brought back to its like-new condition. But with this house, that clearly never happened. All the while the owner was aging, and with age comes much less energy you can put into the upkeep of your house. Sad, really. Only the essential maintenance is done, and the house is sometimes in nearly in an unlivable state by the time the owner passes. Add 16 years of no maintenance at all and no climate control and you see what we have here. February 28, 2021 3:50 am

[@andrewbrendan1579]

There is something familiar about this house. I've seen it before or one remarkably similar in one and maybe two other videos. The house I'm thinking of had on one side of the structure what appeared to be a barn door or a door that might have been used on a commercial building such as a garage or warehouse. The door looked very much out of place on the side of a house. I wonder if that door was part of this house but in a section that has since collapsed.

[@ct1660]

At 9:40, you can see a late 80s to early 90s TV, looks like a Zenith (I have a smaller Zenith with the 80s boxy design, manufactured in 1990). The presence of helical CFLs (see 8:54) also further supports that this house was still in use beyond the 1980s, as they were first marketed in early 1995, suggesting a relative inherited the house, and may have attempted to sell the house at some point after living in it to maintain it in good shape. The CFL and the TV are strong indicators of activity in the 1990s, even as late as the early 2000s. The physical damage alone isn't a reliable way to tell how long a house has been deteriorating for, as many factors including water damage, humidity, materials, structural integrity, among others, will typically dictate how fast or slow a house would deteriorate within a given timeline. That's why some houses have deteriorated less than others. As I used to work at a warehouse that also housed a prop rental business, you kinda become familiar with which items could have existed within a given time period and give a rough estimate of how far a house could have been used. Notice that I said rough as sometimes people may acquire older items (especially with this ongoing retro trend) that could make a newer place seem that it was around longer than it really was, throwing the usage period out of whack.

[@MickeyNixonFilms]

The red car is a Buick Centurion Convertible. They were manufactured from 1971-1973. The Centurion was the mid-line full-sized Buick positioned between the lower-priced LeSabre and the larger and more luxurious C-body Electra 225. That first blue lawnmower is a Ford LGT Series Lawn Tractor that was manufactured from 1972-1983. Ford (Blue) lawn mowers and farm implements were blue, McCormick Farmall Red, Allis Chalmers Orange and of course, John Deere is John Deere Green. If you ever need to buy implement paint, that's how it is labeled, company name + specific color used to manufacture that brand. My husband Jim is a farm boy and car guy.~APRIL LIPKE

That one side of the house that was all splintered and ripped open reminded me of monster house (movie)

[@AKAngelKingAK]

Ooohhhhh yyeeeaaahhh!

[@jamieleden1551]

That was an awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing

[@jbncnow]

[@robertvalentin5846]

[@PaganWizard]

I think I have seen this house in someone else's video a while back. I love this property. 4:24 You said that you wondered if that was a Chevy, then put text on the screen saying it's a Pontiac, it's actually a Buick Centurion. 12:33 That looks like a pet/child safety door, rather than a gate.....pretty cool.

[@FrankFrankly711]

That's the kind of house that murderers take their victims to

[@myrescuecats3028]

What a bit like an husband murder his wife🤣🤣

[@RandyWillcox]

The last owner lived there until he died in '04. It can be yours for a cool $895,000, everything included, on just over 9 acres. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@foxx.on.saturn5143]

You should take those olden cars and repair them then sell them

[@cut--]

those are rusted beyond repair.

[@meridianmoda]

repair what you wanker?

[@WazigeLogica]

One of the coolest exploration video's I've seen so far.. Can't really pin-point why.. The style probably though.. Good that you did not go further. I was worried already.. I have fallen through a wooden floor once into the foundation spaces of an old wearhouse and was lucky to land on my feet. Someone had to hack away the remaining rotten floor to get me out safely. Take care!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

I Love - wow

[@WazigeLogica]

@@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803 Yeah it was a really weird experience: One second your talking to someone's face, the next your talking to their feet, "still" standing. Feels pretty vulnreble too when someone is standing there above you with an axe after you dropped through the floor.. I didn't really realize what his plan was at first when he came back with an axe.. Haha.. I had a slight internal panic for a moment I can tell you!!

[@MrWolfSnack]

If you see a floor that is rotten or looks like it is shifting from water damage or termites - don't walk right across the middle. Hug the wall and skirt around the perimeter (BUT DO NOT LEAN ON THE WALL EITHER - especially if it's brick!). Floor joists are strongest at the point they are connected to the exterior or load bearing walls, and the wall is being held by the entire framework of the house. The walls usually always stay standing after the floor has long rotted away.

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

The leaky roof is literally cutting the house in half by rot.

[@frankmanley8057]

Love the old cars

[@SherrySherry]

Must have been a very grand estate in it's day... a mere echo in time now. 🏚️ ))) 👀 🎥

Good, Always listen to your gut feeling. That's your "inner safe voice" protecting you.

[@49lucky]

Wow no graffiti or trashed house. Strange cuz everybody likes to destroy. Beautiful old home. Those magazine's r worth money...

[@GhostTweeHubBub]

Unfortunately, the magazines aren’t his to take.

[@maxboonkittypoison]

Yeah the graffiti dated 2010 so they may have destroyed a lot in there as well.

[@LANESxNOWONLYx]

Yes, there is, unfortunately, graffiti on the 2 walls downstairs & upstairs adjacent to the 1st staircase in the segment.

[@alanjm1234]

Looks like some kind of horror film happened there in real life. The way there's so much abandoned stuff, and the gaping hole in the side...

[@autobug2]

Wrong calling this dump a "70s mansion" when it was clearly built nearly 100 years before.

[@jonnybanger]

Either he meant 1870's or the TV and other most modern furniture I recognized was from the 1970's at the earliest. The Breyer's "Natural Peach" ice cream in the white plastic container is something I remember seeing in my grandparents house in Jerome, AZ back in the mid 1980's though. Who knows.

[@sideusmerelinquit1116]

Number 1, it was rather unnecessary to call it a “dumb” when it’s actually a gorgeous piece of history, number 2, he’s referring to when he believes it to have been abandoned. Quit whining.

[@webbit1518]

@@sideusmerelinquit1116 He called it "A Dump". You should edit your spelling from dumb to dump.Although you are correct he should quit whining. HAHA

[@agent_ninety9]

@@sideusmerelinquit1116 amen to that!

[@jamescarrington5521]

Yes, very clearly NOT a house from the 1970's !! One look and you can very easily see that it's a Victorian-era home.

[@marleneppaul]

It looks like the Susquehanna River. Cool place, such a shame it's rotting.

[@rachelbirchmore7681]

It makes me so mad that beautiful houses like this are just left to ruin

[@donellmuniz590]

I feel the same way about the cars.

[@janeenhodge441]

Crazy n horribly sad 😭 it's such a grand old house desperately trying to stay standing. How and why could people just walk away from such a beautiful property! Surrounded by a lake!? Where is the Historical society or millionaire to save it. The owners loved there convertibles. So very special!!!

[@paramasatya9668]

I think you've found perfect place for the new sequel of The Conjuring 😂👌

[@CR7659]

Dang, some money sitting there. Not one but two '62 Impala convertibles, the black one a manual trans car, then a '65 Impala that is a floor shift manual car. Someone would want to save those, even in that shape. The red one is a '73 Buick.
