Abandoned Farmers Home - Forced Out By Land Developer

[@animalizzed]

Watching this video, I was thinking to myself, “ just what we need, another strip mall to sell more cheap junk from China we don’t need!! HOORAY!!!” I’ll tell you what we need, is that farm in operation, putting food on our tables!!! They are getting less and less, and they aren’t making any more land nowadays!! Eventually that strip mall will go out of business, farming is ALWAYS in demand, people need to eat!!!

[@JPVideos81]

I agree

[@cajun2197]

I agree. As someone who has desperately wanted a little family farm for so long the fact that beautiful, once thriving places like these are being left to rot over another McDonald's makes my heart ache.

[@teriwilliams3474]

AMEN sister

[@Karbfd583]

@Carla Graham 💯 correct!

[@JohnEZang]

Problem is like 99% of farm land in this country is owned by a handful of corporations. The little guy just can’t compete with their program. They all grow gmo crops that require the heavy use of pesticides. Monsanto owns the seeds that are designed to spawn infertile seeds as well as the pesticides needed. It’s a dark business.

[@ChibiStarTk]

Oh my gosh you went into the house I hoped you would! I see that house almost every day. The McDonalds is brand new, only maybe a year old. The Walmart was rebuilt behind the Walmart that used to exist right in front of it about... 9 years ago or so. The Home Depot came shortly after that and then the new extension next to the home depot was all built within the last year. This particular house you are in has actually been abandoned for way longer than 2001, it actually has been abandoned for as long as I have lived in this area (24ish years) or at least has looked like it was. I remember as a kid heading towards Ocean City, seeing it and saying "I wonder if they're ever going to tear that house down". I'm honestly surprised it is still standing but then again, the craftsmanship put into things back then shows in that.

[@ChibiStarTk]

Just asked my dad as he would have a better memory about it since I was just a kid and he said the original Walmart was built in 1999, after we moved here which was back in like 1992 (I was off on that). Home Depot was built in 2000-2001 (I was also wrong on that lol). They built the new upgraded Walmart in 2012. He also said that that house was indeed abandoned (or on the verge of being abandoned) back when we moved here. The shopping plaza that you showed at the end is the new plaza I mentioned was built in the last year and that actually wasn't part of this properties field. If you look on google maps there is like some sort of a ditch or something and that is where the field always ended. Hope this helps!

[@JPVideos81]

Thats interesting. I spoke to a gentleman in the parking lot who referenced what I found online. Either way, I'm glad i got to check it out and share it. Btw my personal opinion is that 2001 paper is from someone who was squatting there. The magazine's upstairs were dated in the 90s.

[@maddienewo2228]

ChibiStarTk Thanks for telling us what history you know, very kind!

[@tarareads23]

Thanks for the info.

[@dianegreen6635]

When older folks can't care for the property...the " heirs" sell , split , move on. I see it in my neck of the woods , farmland disappear for progress. I run from progress. Country with no neighbors...my piece of heaven.

[@brittanyr9471]

Or sadly some of them have no children and if they have siblings they are also elderly/ disabled. So it's easy to push them to get rid of the property because they can't care for it. Very sad.

[@Karbfd583]

Farmland disappears* since the younger generations can't hack it. They always want the easy way out. It's disgusting.

[@Karbfd583]

@Brittany R these land developers are horrible for pushing out elderly folks argh!😠 greedy sob's

[@JohnEZang]

@@Karbfd583 different times. Has nothing to do with being able to “hack it”. You simply can’t pay the bills without growing on an enormous scale or covering some kind of niche like growing organic. Times have changed for better or worse but not being tough enough has zero to do with it.

[@apenny_foryourthoughts3037]

As an older person I am amazed that no one values much of the older structures that are left to decay. As a guess I would say the older people who once lived here were placed in a nursing home or died and family nembers sold off the land. Those who sold to a developer are not good stewards of the land. Our farms are needed not sold off to greedy land developers. We don't need more strip malls. They too end up abandoned in the end. Thanks for the video.

[@maxr4073]

It depends what shape the structure is in and if there is asbestos.

[@BFagan]

Considering strip malls weren't built after the early 90's, I don't think there's any danger of that failed and outdated architecture. Online shopping is one of the main reason malls in general are dying out. If the area was more demanding of homes, they would be built rather than business. Some areas evolve from housing to business and vice versa, depending on the demand of the area. It's true that no one really is interested in building structures that last, and that's mainly due to a fast moving and changing economy, and most of it is a "throw-away" pattern. In today's market, housing and business come and go very quickly.

[@JPVideos81]

They may not of had many options. Take the offer or go to court and lose to big money lawyers.

[@user-wm4je4ct8y]

The big problem is paying all the land tax on the farms, as well as changing the zoning laws to permit developers to do that.

[@shots2]

V right that is the whole problem... people buy up the land and put up big home and drive up the property taxes to the point the orginal people there can not pay the taxes and have to move out or just walk away from it @@user-wm4je4ct8y

[@HanksGirl98]

It really saddens me to see a house such as this one in such terrible condition. This should have been saved and restored to what it originally once was. An glorious farmhouse. To see history just tossed away like it means nothing is a shame. I'm glad you were able to video the farmhouse and the other buildings. Your videos are always so interesting. Just keep yourself safe at all times! Thank you for another great video!

[@JPVideos81]

You're so welcome

[@hollysamson3808]

Manure wagon, probably was a dairy farm at one time. The house looks like there was a lot of love in that farm house, wall paper, curtains and kitchen is very comfy and homey. 😢

[@andreaedginwynn9171]

You have a nice balance and pace to your video explorations, and you show respect. Keep up the great work!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks andrea

[@billl1127]

Occupants certainly appear elderly or disabled. I'd be surprised if the farmer was still able to work the land. I'm hoping the developer buy out was a win-win and gave that couple the money they needed to buy quality assisted living.

[@JPVideos81]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@mjp5429]

Quality assisted living? That's like saying "good junk"

[@Karbfd583]

MJ P, its better than nothing if you have no heirs. It's sad, really.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

This is still a beautiful piece of property. So sad the house and outbuildings weren't saved years ago before everything went to ruin. You do such a good job in your explores Jay...nice and slow pan . The respect you show to these old places in turn shows respect to the people who once lived and loved there. ....congratulations on 40,000 subscribers ( we know good work when we see it : )

[@craigbrowning9448]

They can probably put 20 McMansions on the same plot of land.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks so much Barbara

[@TarynsTime]

@@craigbrowning9448 yes, sadly when I see this done I say they're growing houses...meaning what used to be a homestead with land that used to grow crops is sprouting pretty quick build houses not meant to last.

Another awesome video my friend. That Homart switch was for the furnace. Homart was an old brand of furnace made by Sears, and space command on that old TV was the name for the zenith remote control. My mom had one when I was a kid in the 80s. It was a big old Square Chrome Remote Control and it was much more modern than that wired TV channel changer that we all grew up with!! Remember the wired ones? They had like 10 or 13 buttons and then a toggle switch on the left that turned that one row into three separate rows.. and they had a wheel on the right to fine-tune each Channel LOL. I think those wired Channel changers for made by Jerald? God now I feel old thinking about all this old stuff from 30-plus years ago

[@JPVideos81]

Ahhh memories lol

[@richdiscoveries]

@@DaffneyDalilah lol, yes those were the simple days of electronics. Although I do appreciate the modern Technologies we have, I definitely do miss the simpler days sometimes

[@HarleyBadger]

Exactly right. Homart furnaces and boilers date back to about 1946, and were popular in the Northeast because they were OEM'd by Dornback in Ohio. The "wear items" inside that always rust or crack on modern furnaces.. such as the firebox, the heat exchanger tubing, etc were made of a composite ceramic instead of steel. They were truly built to last a lifetime. I know of several 1946 Homart/Dornback furnaces and boilers that are still in operation today in Western and Central Pennsylvania. There's a Giant Eagle grocery store near me that, while modern on the inside, still uses a Dornback boiler in the back.. and from what I could see, appears to be a 1950s model. *Also,* fun fact about that wall switch... Sears frequently sold new boilers with companion Homart whole-house fans, and the wall switch was the same, with five positions... Off, Low and High for the exhaust fan, and Low and High for the boiler (specifically the water circulation pump.) THAT was the first residential "all-in-one" climate control. And it worked, perfectly, all the time... unlike today's modern thermostats that are supposed to save money and energy, but just end up failing.. flashing their error codes and being replaced again and again. We have one of those Zeniths in our collection, it's a 1982 or newer, with the green LED channel indicator. The Space Command remote was infrared, which was fairly new at the time. Zenith also had console TVs with interesting other "Space" features.. such as Space Screen (early 80s projection TV that looked like an innocent little console stereo, and then a "huge" 45" screen would electrically rise up out of the console when you turned the TV on,) Space Zoom (as the name implies, you could zoom in,) and Space Phone.. (yup, in the early 80s, you could sit back with the remote, dial a number, and the audio of the TV program would mute and you'd have a giant console speakerphone!)

[@richdiscoveries]

@@HarleyBadger awesome information right there, thank you very much. I have never heard of the 45-inch TV that rolls up out of the stereo and the futuristic speakerphone sounds really cool too!! I have always been interested and older electronics and I definitely want to look into those, I really sound awesome. Thank you again for that information. Very interesting stuff my friend!!

[@Piecemaker1623]

The walkers, wheel chair, and potty seat makes this story even sadder. These people gave up there home and memories.

[@elenaceleste983]

[@ShORTiiqOtGaM3]

Born n raised there.. I’m 31 and I’ve always been curious of what the inside looked like!! There’s a Plethora of abandoned farm houses all around the area

[@pamelagroover2850]

the same thing happened to my grandparents, they gave them money to relocate while they were going to demolish their house to build a highway. It was sad to see our house that was full of many memories to go. thanks for the video

[@user-wm4je4ct8y]

Real estate developers are evil and greedy. Some poor old widow probably lived there until she passed away, since her walkers and wheelchair were still there. She probably was horrified by living next door to the shopping center and didn't realize it would be that close. I doubt if anyone told her. You go above and beyond to get these videos, thanks.

[@lordexplores]

It's a shame these places are bought out for shopping centers and such. It's happening near me in the Chicago suburbs. Industry and such is stretching farther through the farm land that once fueled the economy. Sad to see all the beautiful farmland and valleys polluted by clunky shopping centers and gas stations. Beautiful house though and a great explore at that. Thank you for sharing

I bet that old zenith still worked. I had mine from the 80s until I moved in 2014. Gave it away. Still worked great and had a better picture and color than my 2000s model. Loved the old harp table legs. Makes me wonder if you are crashing in a old building why you would not kinda straighten or move the furniture in one spot as not to lay among something that is full of dirt and spiders. The loft looked cleaner and safer. I guess it makes me sad that a human being for many reasons is living in squalor. Be safe. Thanks for the video.

Hi JP. For some reason, I felt dread and sadness in this home. Progress must go on. I wonder how many generations came out of there. This home is in shambles and was neglected for a long time. I really liked the comment from Carla Graham and I agree with her, whole heartedly. I loved the explore and thank you for sharing. Much love and be safe.

[@JPVideos81]

Ty for watching

[@MerAngel12121]

JP, Thanks for documenting this old farm house. This video in still frame would be a good "poster child", so to speak, representing the (progress?) the strip malls are. Speaks volumes.

[@EarlofBaltimore]

Great exploration as always, J. I grew up in that area. This puts me in mind of my great grandparents farm, as it shares some things architecturally from that era. It was located near Salisbury off Siloam Rd., not far from Berlin. Sadly the farmhouse from my childhood was demolished and the surrounding farmland where fields of soybeans once grew bears no resemblance to my memories. Anyway, if you look at the modern conveniences on many of these homes (plumbing), the bathrooms will usually be on the exterior wall of the home or even housed in an addition. Many of these homes were built when people were still using outhouses. You can kind of tell that was the case in this house upstairs where the bathroom protrudes into the pink room making the layout a bit awkward. You can see where they probably had a clawfoot tub initially when plumbing was added and later built a surround which partially blocks a window for a slightly more modern tub. These old homes really interest me.

[@JPVideos81]

I'd be willing to bet that those blue & white dishes are Wedgwood China. I believe they are because I have my late aunt's set of Wedgwood China that she got when she married my uncle.

She was the youngest of my mom's sisters and my favorite aunt 💕💓💗 How sad that this couple was basically forced out of their home by this developer 🤬 This was more than likely a nice home at one time.

Thanks JP for sharing with me about Abandoned Farmers Home - Forced Out By Land Developer it is sad that if they had a family and the kids did not want any thing to do with the farm.

Jp, Thank you for such cool video ! That refrigerator in the house, what you thought was stenciling on it? It isn't. Someone took a doily and spray painted over it. It's crochet. I know, as I crochet and been at it 35+ years.

[@JPVideos81]

Ah ok, thanks

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Pretty creative using a crocheted piece as a stencil ....it worked.

[@MerAngel12121]

Debra, What was amazing was how clean the fridge was, even still had baking soda in it. If that wasn't left in there a quarter of a century ago by the previous owners, there must have been a squatter that gave a care, hu? You are correct about the crochet pattern on the fridge, though the person used those plastic doily place mats that were popular in the sixties to seventies. Used that technique in the early seventies on our black Ford Fairlane 500. Radiator blew up and left a mark on hood. Quick fix was to sand it off, lay doily over spot, a little gold spray paint on hood. Also took long strips of lace down each side of the car and sprayed through it. That Fairlane sure got the looks, being black with a gold lace design. It also looked very professional I might add. Got many compliments. It is a very good use of those old plastic doilies, don't ya think. So glad JP is so thorough at documenting those old farms/homes. A shame the way the American families built their lives on these farms, thinking that the children would carry on, but all too often they sell out and or simply walk away when the parents go to care homes.

Great explore! Judging by the portable invalid toilet, the walker, & the wheelchair, the couple or person living in this house prior to the buyout was elderly with mobility issues, which is probably why the bathroom & shower were later added to the first floor when the homeowner(s) could had difficulty with climbing the stairs & later, couldn’t climb the stairs at all to get to the upstairs bathroom & bedroom. It’s a shame vandals got to the house before you explored it and destroyed most of it. What assholes!! As for multiple squatters, there are definitely signs of them being there.

As for this property, it gave a bittersweet feeling to me....a warmth of good memories from a once thriving farm, hoping that the family has been well cared for when they left.

That sad!!! It's a beautiful house, or it was.

Luiza H. C. Braga the curtains look perfect. They matched the wallpaper very nicely.

When you pan across the counter (16.27) there is a plate from New Brunswick, Canada. That is where I am right now! Love your videos!

😲👍

The plaster dates the house. The end result was the farmer really didn't need to move :( I'm allergic to bee stings so I wouldn't be going up stairs.

Interesting but sad to see the homes destroyed. Why do you do this? If you see something you want, can you take it? I'll back in its day that was a bustling farm and very pleasant to live there. More "progress" we don't need, sad. Your videos are really easy to watch, no jittery pics and your voice is not hard to hear. Thanks for the tours, stay safe!

[@JPVideos81]

I do this because im fascinated with the past and like to document things before they are gone. Some people do take items, i personally do not.

[@waynebender7720]

Zenith TV had a way to select the channels arrangement order you wanted .That was different from control.

[@mlkirkl09]

I remember those TV's like the one at 22:10. My parents used to have one almost exactly like that!

[@Karbfd583]

Those old Zenith tv's were so awesome!

[@marysaiz800]

It's nice people like you don't take things and ruin the property,I really like your videos

I love that beautiful place ❤️

[@Shalzbut]

Within cities, I'm not sure about other states but in Texas, if you can get the property declared a historical landmark it is property tax exempt. A swimming pool in our neighborhood just went through this process. So there is a bit of an incentive in restoring old structures.

[@mamiebobb4173]

Seeing those curtains in the windows - the ruffled white ones with the pull backs and the lace panels, just broke my heart. I felt like my own gran or mom just walked out of there. (Much as I loved seeing this house, don't EVER take on wasps or bees or hornets. I'm terrified of all of them (allergic reaction to the stings will do that to you!) and I would have been in the next state at the sight of the first one!

[@JPVideos81]

I'm allergic as well, thats why i retreated and went back when i felt it was safe.

[@chelseydeetta2847]

It too bad that they didn't tear it down by the land developers. Have a family move out and leave it standing that's harder to take. Quit an interesting house. Good job JP.

[@arleneb1540]

I love these old abandon houses : )

[@runningtwofeathers42]

Awesome find JP the house still in good shape still buildings there too have you found anything more about this place since you filmed it thank you for another great video JP you are awesome

[@JPVideos81]

I haven't heard anything since

[@runningtwofeathers42]

@@JPVideos81 feel its sad though that these large companies come along and buy these places that people have worked so hard to make a life for themselves and its all gone by these companies and they call it progress not

[@billstill1794]

I don't really think he was "forced out" if he was bought out. A developer just cannot come along and force people out. The farmer probably received a nice amount for his land.

[@BFagan]

Cool place. I love the '83 Zenith tv, I would bet that it still works.

[@JPVideos81]

I love finding old TVs in these places.

[@alliejoopai4870]

Lovely pictures taken.

Great video....loved seeing the New Brunswick Canada plate. That is my Province. Thanks for sharing.

[@donnicholas7552]

Interesting find! I don't know why but I had a creepy feeling watching his. I had the feeling you were going to come across some druggie or squatter inside.

[@JPVideos81]

Thankfully i didn't ,but its always in the back of my mind.

[@madisongreene8853]

I'm actually surprised you don't encounter many more wasps, animals, snakes and other creatures on your explorations. You go into some pretty scary places, especially in the woods. Be safe, my friend.

[@TarynsTime]

Someone was very determined to salvage, the missing kitchen sink and radiators would've taken a couple of strong men. It's a shame what happens once the roof leaks get so bad after a place is abandoned, I am glad that you did a top notch job on the video it showed very well, almost as good as being there.
