I loved this farmhouse. You can clearly see how wonderful it would have been in its tip-top days. Seems it had rather up to date style/decor for the time period it was lived in. The large living/family room seemed like a grand place for a farmhouse too. I can picture the family gathering singing and playing the organ on feastful Sundays. Great 'happy feel' to this place. I have been watching oodles of your vids on the T.V, so unable to comment on those, but when on my laptap - like now I get to comment. I very much appreciate your respectful explores. Thanks for taking us along, stay well.

My pleasure Dianne again 👍😊 these old home I learn so much from and I love that they bring back great memories for you guys too! 😊👍

[@attilazatila]

these people were very clear on how they wanted things set up. they went out of their way to provide services for their workers and isolate themselves from them for their privacy. after everything i learned from my parents,i can totally justify the layout of the house. my dear father approached the building of his last property,which i inherited,the same way. classic,lordly landholder. it doesn’t matter what it’s made out of,class goes a long way. thank you for sharing this video and so many more that you do 😊😎

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi still lost, glad you liked this one as I do too! :-) You can tell it was a grand old home even in this condition. Far more interesting thn any new home! Thanks for your commnets and for watching :-)

[@taralewis2606]

Love this big old house! ❤️ Glad there were no cows this time. Lol We grew up with an old organ, like the one here, sitting in our living room. It was really ornate and even had the stool, covered in faded red velvet, that came with it. My mom and step dad collected antiques so our house was full of beautiful pieces. I was a young teen back then in the late 70’s and just took it all for granted...never really appreciated it like I do now. Such a wonderful find! Thank you for the tour of this once lovely home. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe! 😉

[@reiramiya8805]

So cool! That large room was most likely a ballroom/dining room. Must have been such a lovely place in its time. Thank you for sharing.

A nice project for a handy 'person' a lick of paint and some shellac. Wacko a real gem. Lol.. was waiting for an appearance of piano man on sight of the organ 😂 many thanks for showing us around.

The colors of the wooden door, walls, floor and blue sky saturated by warm sunlight was just what I needed on a cold day in Pennsylvania. Happy Easter Indigo🦋

In this video there was an organ made in Bowmanville Ontario Canada. I've lived in Bowmanville all my life there used to be an organ company in town switched to a paper Factory and it is currently apartments for seniors. I thought it was way too cool to see that. You made this video in 2019 I believe it was April 20th.

Cheers Mj 35, cool to know you live there :-) I have some good pics of that organ too!

This house is one I really would have loved to see in its heyday. Almost like three different buildings put together. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️

Hi Susan! :-) Yes this one I would have love to have seen back in the day! I think some one had intentions of restoration but the old dry wall in the rear part has crumbled away during the transportation it seems? Cheers for watching.

@@urbexindigo5164 Back in the day in most countries, when a family grew they didn't move. They added on as the need got bigger. Could be why it's not uniform in the exterior (and likely internal) appearances.

Hey Linda, thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed thanks for watching :-0

[@Shawnne01]

When I was a child, my parents bought a house in Minneapolis MN which was full of antiques. Among them was a "pump" organ such as shown here. I used to try to play it. It actually worked! I love the old wood work in this house. Hope some of it can be salvaged.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Shawnne , I wish the old organ did not have all that damage I would have inquired about having it! :-)

[@RepublicTX]

At 16:44 where you point out the wallpaper scrap, the horizontal scar in the plaster about a foot or so down from the ceiling is where a picture rail would have been. Picture rails are a bit of molding with lip at the top where you placed a hook for hanging your pictures. Plaster doesn't take well to nails or screws and anchors, so a picture rail was used. They can handle quite a bit of weight if securely fastened to each stud. Once plaster fell out of favor to drywall, so did picture rails. What a terrific find!

[@urbexindigo5164]

That makes so much sense drowned rat thanks! My mothers place has these picture rails too! :-)

[@brendafarmer3584]

First, love to see you are in protective gear, and Not Flip Flops!! Also, loved the into music. The pump organ: was built sometime about 1875 or so. You used your feet to pump sir to operate the organ! The company moved to Bowmanville Ontario, Canada, in 1873. In 1875 they changed their name from Bowmanville Organ and Pianos, to Old Dominon Organs and Pianos. That organ made a Long Trip from Ontario Canada, to Australia!! That was a neat old house, oviously added on to several times. Someone was trying to fix it up again, but it was probably a bigger job than first thought! Great Video!

Honey.....🤩 I’m German. Greetings from Cologne

[@nessav7258]

Interesting house. The back room appears to have been an elaborately decorated room, with lovely high ceilings, wallpaper and carpet. I noticed that room had a powerpoint near floor level. I lived in an 1927 Californian Bungalow in outer Sydney and one of the rooms had the timber slats as seen in this house. The slats were covered in coir fibres and horse tail/mane hair and then plastered very carefully. So it seems that type of wall covering was around for a very long time. One of the entry hallways was quite wide, usually they're no wider that the normal sized door. This house had side lights if I remember correctly so I think this house had some wealth in it. I would love to see a photo of this house in it's prime.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Nessa :-) The back half of this one sure does look the more elegant even if in rough shape. What ever hopes they had for restore fell through.....lol The relocation did the plaster walls no favors! Thanks for watching :-)

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Hey there Paul😄I really hope this home is not torn down. Especially that huge room. Hopefully someone will buy the property with plans on renovating the place. Glad to see you playing it safe..with the snake gear. I like that old sink vanity in the loo. Love the sound of the crickets in the back ground and intro music. Am looking forward to the next adventure

[@urbexindigo5164]

It could be done....just need the bucks and time. :-) Yeah i have seen a couple of snakes lately so I thought better be safe :-) I like the old organ, shape it is banged up! Thanks for watching :-)

[@donellemiller6680]

Happy Easter!! What a beautiful old wreck of a home :-). That large room with gigantic ceiling and windows was incredible. I'm afraid it would be cheaper to rebuild than to restore. But if the termites and post beetles have not invaded the lumber perhaps some more salvaging could be done? Another fun find. Oh, to be young again and full of all that it takes to tackle a project like that. :-) P.S. My father-in-law salvaged windows, doors, wood trim from old homes and at one point salvaged lumber from an old organ. He constructed a huge chest out of the organ parts, and many items he used in building the home we now live in. Thanks again for sharing.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Donnelle :-) Yeah I think someone got it for peanuts hoping they could repair.........but it got away from them lol. Your Father in law sound like a crafty guy to do all that. Maybe that organ can be repaired! Thanks for watching :-)

Those cement blocks it's sitting on sure don't look like the type of things a heavy, solidly built house would be sitting on.. they're so thin, that it seems if the ground went soft they'd sink/shift/tip. I guess they knew what they were doing, but those are half the size of blocks I used to make a stand for a 10 gallon aquarium! Very cool old place, though. You deserve more subs and views.. You are so good at letting us see little things (like the pocketknife amid all the rubbish), and not just panning around. Always great camera work and editing. It's the little details that matter so much, so thank you :-)

[@urbexindigo5164]

That is what I thought too Tanya, regarding the little thin stumping. lol. Maybe it was a make shift effort? Seems the plans fell through of doing anything with it. Lots of damage in transit it seems! :-)

[@lynneperg6853]

@@urbexindigo5164 I lived in Arizona for 4 years. They didn't have the venom your snakes have, but they could kill you just as dead just not as fast. There are 12 or more venomous species. The ranger at one of the parks told us to get bitten by a big old snake because they could control their venom. Using it on something too big to eat was wasteful. It takes energy to create it. The little ones always inject the maximum amount because they haven't learned to control it.

The retired nurse in me is asking if you would wear gloves!!??? Thanks for considering it!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yes others have stated Ontario is correct :-) That style fluro was a 50-60`s addition I think Patricia. I always forget my gloves! :-)

So sad to see the old pump organ falling apart. You pumped the foot pedals to fill a set of bellows that provided the pressure to the reeds. My grandmother had one of these. The button like things were called stops. They were pulled out or pushed in to change the sounds the keyboard produced. They were pricey back in the day. The house definitely dated from at least two era. Good idea to wear snake protection. Have a good Easter. Till next time, keep videoing and stay safe.

[@urbexindigo5164]

The old organ was really cool, thanks for the info about it Lynne :-) Yes the snakes are around so it good to be prepared :-)

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Good to see the snake protection. Poor old home it's so far gone & you can tell alot of work and care went into building it but the move didn't do it any favors. Someone will maybe buy the land and maybe build a new home there. Another gem gone. There's an old mansion in Maryland that had huge beauitful windows and on both sides you can open a panel and the shutters still roll out, never saw that before. We had a fun time raising money for Vets in New Jersey. Had down range shooting contests. I won a turkey😁. There were hay rides. A funny toilet race where 3 folks to each toilet on wheels had to go in a big circle. Your every day carnival booths for kids to win stuff, bounce houses & good food & soda. We made after costs almost $5,000. for homeless Vets, it was a weekend event. I hope you have a wonderful Easter. I found yet ANOTHER 9 Morgan Silver Dollars all 'S' mints & they're beautiful in thick plastic bits & were in a bag. Why burry them? Was someone going though a divorce & was hiding them? In two months I've found almost 1 hundred Morgan's & other coins. Plus beauiful silverware with jewelry in the box. I just pray they are all real. They all past the ping test. Where you put a coin on your finger & tap it with another coin and if you get a high pitched sound that's a good sgin if not it's probably not real silver. I've sent away for a coin scale, & a magnet. If you hold the coin on 45 degrees and put the magnet up top on your coin and if slides down slowly that's good, if it goes down fast that's bad, if it sticks to the magnet the coin isn't real. My coins if real would be a grade way up in the 60s not a bad pay day if sell some at auction. 😁 If you go on line to ck what coins can sell for I hope you're sitting down. But yup, don't count chickens before they're hatched.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Wow Ruth that is a very noble effort for the old Vets, they really deserve way more that the government gives them that is for certain! Well done :-)

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

@@urbexindigo5164 Thanks! We had a blast. Painted kiddies faces, cotton candy. Used a bed sheet to see a movie while sitting on hay. If the coins do well I'd luv to help out with some money for you and Mike 5 explores & maybe get to visit Australia. Mike could get his Kangaroo coin. You'd get a cool coin too.

[@typingdude4833]

I can’t believe it was habitable in 2007, that’s only 12 years ago. Loved that intricate ceiling work, They don’t make them like that anymore. Beautiful home in its day, but still...living was hard work and life was unforgivable back then. It was a very God centered time, I can picture hymns being played on the organ on Sunday morning. Hard work and a fear of God we’re two facts of life 120 years ago.

[@typingdude4833]

Thanks for yet another great explore!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey typing dude thanks for watching :-) Maybe those things were store in there but there were some matresses in there so perhaps someone was living rough in there for a while while trying to fix up? Yep what an old era and time to be living and working the land. Simple but tough times. :-)

Love your videos! I so enjoy exploring with you - cows and all! The Dominion Organ Company was established in 1873 in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. They specialized in cabinet reed organs. Have a wonderful Easter! Many blessings!

[@elizabethtorres6069]

Frame 16:05 makes another good photo with that organ in the background..why would someone move a house in that condition? Did the property belong or sold to someone else?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Elizabeth, im not sure if the lady who owns the property moved the house. Probably got it for nothing and had high hopes of bringing it back to life :-)

[@lauravines9139]

This place was close to extravagant for a farm house. Wow, 2 bath rooms. So cool that your grandfather may have moved it and if so, from where , when and why. I’d love to know. Since the chimney holes were still vacant did that mean they never occupied the house? Liked your boots and glad to see you protecting yourself. I’ve been curious about the snakes, even though I like snakes, wouldn’t want you bit.

[@urbexindigo5164]

I think they moved the house and never got any further with doing it up? I have found another one similar Laura and it is still in its original spot in the field. I will upload that one soon. :-) It is run down too but in tact ........well mostly haha:-)

[@lauravines9139]

Looking forward to seeing that.

Those shiplap boards have lasted well indeed. :-). The cows would have been moved to a greener field :-)

[@martymp7501]

Great video mate, wonder if it's still repairable, would cost a bomb though.

[@urbexindigo5164]

The cost probably put them off Marty! lol. The walls really crumbled with the move I think. Thanks for watching

[@tinasteer2507]

Scared of cows are we? This house is huge and by the look of the kitchen it had a lot of mouths to feed. Thanks for your videos. I think it may have been moved onto the property but not lived in because there was nothing plumbed in for use.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Haha not scared but they would have followed me everywhere and made heaps of noise and mess haha. Plus at that point I did not know who owned it. It would have been a large family in there back in the day for sure Tina :-)

[@Momvon1]

That's a huge old house! The slats really tell the age don't they? I used to live in an older house with slats and horse hair plaster. The only bad thing was when you put a nail in the wall you could hear the plaster fall inside the walls. The pump organ is from Canada must have cost a pretty penny. Just think your Granddad probably moved it! Awesome 👍

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep the rear section is definitely the oldest part Vonda, that plaster did not like the travelling when it was moved! lol. Crumbled everywhere! The old pump organ is really cool, best thing in the place! I really would like to know if Granddad moved it , some research may be needed as he passed away in 1991 :-)

[@user-randi1987]

Can't imagine why someone would pay to have that house moved there. It's certainly not in very good condition and I don't think all the damage is from the move. Interesting place though, kind of 3 houses in one. Thanks for sharing.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Someone with too much many and high hopes Randi haha. I guess it may have been a project? Interesting on how the front is a bit different construction although the exterior is the match. Updated interiors perhaps in the early 1900`s. Thanks for watching :-)

[@wendyhou3416]

I am thinking maybe the house hasn’t been inhabited since being moved here. It happens a lot over here in Tasmania, old farm houses being moved to farm property and just dumped with the intention of maybe being made habitable. Our beach house was actually relocated from a hydro village and is on pine poles.

[@urbexindigo5164]

I agree Wendy, someone has had a bit of a tinker but thought gee this is way too much work! haha The owners of the property prob got it for nothing. Thanks for watchng :)

[@wendyhou3416]

I say this because it is a lot of different building just tacked on and the holes in the floors in different rooms where the fire places should be. This would have been done before moving the house as they would move it with a brick chimney in place. There is no indication they have been pulled out insitu as there is no brick rubble around. Nobody would live in a house with those huge holes in the floor.

[@wendyhou3416]
