Jeremy I just found your channel. Your narration style, choice of words and music, details of the family and the mansion are so amazing. Thank you. You are definitely a great filmmaker.

[@psrwhite]

​@@veronicaterrell7317I think he wanted to do it with respect, saying something about these words are a great tribute. But I see what your point is. I think he said something about how amazing these cards are still there. I'm wondering why the family abandoned all their personal photos and cards etc. They are the ones who seemed to disrespect the cards and photos by leaving those items behind.

[@nancycodispot7793]

​@veronicaterrell7317 I disagree because it helps to tell this family's story and no matter what happened there or to them they deserve to have their story told as long as no one has told anything different yet then I say let it be told and me personally I'm saying prayers for the family 🙏

I never understand people wrecking and defacing (tagging, etc.) someone’s property, abandoned or not. When I was little, my grandmother used to take my sister and I exploring in old buildings, places we weren’t supposed to be. We’d walk through, making up stories about who may have been there, etc. We never moved, destroyed or took a single thing. This was a unique and special exploration, and I appreciate the care you took presenting it. You honored the family who lived there. Thank you.

I feel the same way ,i am 56 now we played hard and worked hard , early on we were no angles but had the respect not to break other peoples shit. Kids today never leave the home with the internet, Games all there friends are online. I am thankful that i had a father who hunted Deer, Fishing in salt and freshwater, we were always in the outdoors doing something. As kids we would build tree stands practiced bow and arrow, *in my opinion life was better back then people respected each other, everyone got along, we helped each other if someone needed it. Pray for this Country, if this evil administration Kamala Biden get in its over.

Here's what amazes me about your videos ... Your narrative always borders on poetry. You insights are always compassionate and inquisitive. You always pay tribute to the lives that have passed, both through the house and beyond this realm. You never take anything. Everything is left to posterity, to perhaps help the next explorer unravel the lives that crafted the ruins you explore. You have a great reverence and a passion to know, and to share with all of us. As an explorer myself, I would like nothing more than to join you on one of your expeditions! Thank you for who you are and what you are doing.

Your comment truly touches the core of why I make these videos. I’m deeply moved by your appreciation of the narrative style I aim for - that poetic touch is something I hold dear, as it helps to convey the deeper emotions and stories behind these places. It’s heartening to hear that the respect and curiosity I feel for these sites resonate with you too. And who knows... maybe one day our paths will cross in the pursuit of uncovering and understanding these stories of the past. Keep exploring, keep questioning, and let's continue to respect and honor the memories of those places and lives we discover. Thank you for being part of this journey and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. It means a lot and motivates me to keep sharing these stories with all of you.

[@MichelleMeckley]

Hi Frank - I hope you don't mind me leaving my comment below yours, for some reason I'm unable to leave my own separate comment. Btw, beautiful comment, deserves to be pinned imho. I missed the live but what an exceptionally well done video you have here, Jeremy. Your narration has an essence to it that I'm not entirely sure I can put into words, but I'll try. The music fits the mood of each room, each floor you explore. I can picture what you're seeing through the words you use to express your thoughts and feelings as you explore the home and tell more of Perry and Grace Palmer's story. I love the way that this home was built and I could picture myself living there - I was born in 1970 so that should explain why. I really like the way it's shaped, inside and out. It's a shame that looters and vandals discovered it and that natural decay has begun to reclaim it's place. It makes me angry and sad to see the incredibly disrespectful things that they've done to the home of such kind, thoughtful, generous people. Broken windows, graffiti, and lots of stolen items hauled off. Even a computer in the pool. I'm so glad that you are nothing like them. You take nothing and you leave it the the way that you found it. May all your travels and explorations be safe ones. Thank you again. As someone else said already, I'm exploring vicariously through you!

[@janicesperry7780]

I totally agree. Jeremy is the best narrator and story teller I have ever heard. Truly a gift from God. Stay safe Jeremy. Once again really enjoyed your explore.

Mrs. Palmer designed this house from a mansion in Africa. The white stone came from Africa. The room was a dining room with a glass top. The furniture was all designed to reflect the beauty of Africa. Mr. And Mrs. Palmer were very giving people. Really down to earth. ✝️

Great presentation but got a few things wrong. DocWild Bldg Comp (me) built this monster back in 77 when I was a 30yr old engineering lunatic. I specialized in impossible. When we started the parapet (which was meant to be thatched) I finally asked Perry what was I building? It was a million dollar 5000sf 3 story African hut in white Georgia marble designed by his late wife whom he loved dearly. Perry was a Prince of a gentleman, the nicest man I have ever known.

[@mollyv8b705]

The sound of your voice is incredible. Your soft spoken tone and your descriptive narrative is just amazing. Wonderful video.

[@Doc-z9z]

More, it’s a helluva story. We became long term friends, his kids were nearly same age as mine & all attended Heathwood Hall. That 3rd floor bedroom you assumed was Grace’s was actually Erin’s, she would’ve been early 20s when she penned those notes. I had a bodacious crew of college boys & girls & we had a ball on that job. 4 of us were climbers & did a lot of the exterior in climbing harnesses. Perry didn’t trust thatched roof so opted for shingles we installed 1 tab at a time (in 100 degree heat). Some of it wasn’t quite as much fun. ThankYou for the video, I’ve never been able to describe what we did & Perry didn’t allow many visitors plus we didn’t take pictues in those days (no iphones).

As I have said before , you have a gift of story telling. And not just the research and the production value , but the passion for what you do. The quality is always there. The child like curiosity that I can relate 2. You always seem so emotionally connected to each story but this one you seem so jazzed about. You can see the respect for this family and excitement and appreciation for , what some would say dilapidated trash, you see the potential and the past and the glory of the good old days. Thank you for this content and for always being so respectful and authentic

I'm normally kind of skeeved out by old houses, but seeing you three (and the pup!) go through this house and point out the unique architecture; the vision; and the lives of the people who built the house, really changed my thoughts about it. Beautiful narrative!

I live in coastal SC and am surprised the bushes and trees haven’t reclaimed more than it has. Such a shame it was left to rot.

The little girls red shoe made me cry. Like you said in another video these places have so much sadness…. Some more than others. I am 70 yrs old, Orange and green were the big colours in the 1970’s. My Mom had a kitchen that was all chocolate brown, white and orange. Lots of orange everywhere then. I love love every one of your videos Jeremy. Thank you for all your hard work. Beautifully 🎥 filmed and your voice is amazing. I send you love from Pitt Meadows, B.C. Canada 🍁

this is one of the coolest house I've ever seen. Mr Perry and his architect designed this and the incredible concrete features. truly a wonderful place with so many features to mimick Frank Lloyd Wright designs from several of his homes. this home was of the highest quality money could buy. sadly family had some issues but the family business is still run by the perry's family. fucking great video and your cameraman is killer!! cheers

@@WinterInTheForest tastes very I understand that but if you had the money wouldn't you like to leave something spectacular as your legacy or have something outstanding for your kids to take me to be proud of I guess not that's a shame but everybody has their you know likes and dislikes. This to me is something extraordinary. And sadly Perry son had problems and the house was left to fall into disrepair and it's just a tragedy. It would probably be better if you kept such negative feelings to yourself so you don't infect anyone else

[@WinterInTheForest]

@@gregoryfranks7347 Sure taste is subjective. This is one of the ugliest homes I've ever seen, especially with the extravagant cost. Sorry for any negative feewings. Perhaps the son being in prison despite inheriting such wealth suggests poor genetics. As a result the only legacy left behind is a rotting mansion of ill design which nature is determined erase.

Wow. This is a stunning video! I’ve just come across your work and it’s just amazing. The story-telling, documentary style approach works beautifully, with the added aspects of narration and music paint a picture in imagery. Your approach is sympathetic and empathetic, whilst being respectful of your surroundings. You’ve clearly put a great deal of time into your work, researching and framing these peoples lives. His would not be out of place on the discovery channel. It’s that good. Well done from Scotland.

Came back to see this a second time and to just say how touched I was by your care. The music was so touching and right on spot for this story 😢 The very best video I ever saw of explorations like this!!! Thank you.

[@matsnilson7727]

This was awesome to watch. Your calm respectul narration and personal thoughts takes it to another level. I don't do explorations like this myself but I totally identify with what you say inside the garage about spending hours going through papers, piecing together clues to get a better understanding of how life was for those living in that place. Abandoned homes are extremely fascinating, but there's always an underlying feeling of intense sadness when thinking about how it used to be someone's home - their place of comfort, joy and security - and now it's just empty, forgotten and slowly rotting away without anyone caring. There are obviously reasons behind why places like this are completely abandoned, but it always feels so hard for me to understand. The amount of personal stuff (like photos, diplomas and letters) left behind doesn't make it any easier to understand either.

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Exactly so...

[@colleenhelminiak1429]

Thank you for the respectful way that you and your friends went through this exploration and told the story of this home and the people who lived there. So many places have been trashed just because they were abandoned without any respect as to who lived there or what that place represented. It touches my heart - and please don't ever change the way that you do these videos. Without the past, we would have no future. 💖

[@mightymouseofnyc]

Wowza!! You are so freakin’ good at this. You capture all of this in such a unique way which makes your videos superb. The angles, the in-depth details about what it is you’re looking at, the passion and compassion in your voice. It’s really your canvass and its amazing. I never wanted a complete stranger to succeed as much as I want you to. I don’t have any preconceived notion of what that is. Only, the vision you have for yourself is where I hope this takes you. I’m going to pass some words onto you that I wish I knew as a young artist before I walked away from it. If it resonates, great and if doesn’t that’s OK too. There are two sides to this. The one side where you are vulnerable while creating. It’s coming out of you from a vision and given to us as a gift. The other side is the cut throat nature of the biz where you are required to have ‘thick skin’ as they say. It’s counter intuitive and usually difficult to have both exist in the same place. There are many that will have input into what you are creating. Some good, some not so good and more often absolutely brutal. Keeping in your minds eye about what it is YOU want is essential so resentment doesn’t build because it will effect everything you create if you let it. How to do that? My 2 cents… first, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about what is ‘best’ for you. Only you know that. It’s maintaining that self awareness that you are very familiar with. It boils down to self care. Whatever that self care looks like for you. Use it. Always. And boundaries regardless of who you are talking to...family, friends, acquaintances, strangers… It’s your world. Now, you get to paint it. Safe travels, always. -Michelle

[@JeremyXplores]

Your words have truly moved me. It's messages like yours that remind me why I do what I do. The thought, depth, and sincerity you've put into your comment resonate deeply with me. The journey of creating and sharing is indeed one of vulnerability- it's like putting pieces of your soul out there for the world to see. And you're right, it does feel like giving a piece of myself away, but in the most fulfilling way. Yet, as you so accurately pointed out, this world can sometimes demand a toughness, a 'thick skin,' that seems at odds with the artist's spirit. Navigating this dichotomy is an ongoing challenge, but your insights shine a light on the path. Your advice, coming from a place of experience and heart, is a treasure. It's a poignant reminder that amidst the noise and the critiques, staying true to oneself, to that inner vision, is paramount. The balance of maintaining self-awareness, practicing self-care, and setting boundaries is indeed the key to not only surviving but thriving in this space. Your wisdom on balancing vulnerability with resilience, on staying grounded in one’s own truth and vision, is invaluable, Michelle. I will carry your words with me as both a shield and a guiding star as I continue on this journey. Thank you for your belief, your encouragement, and your profound insights. Here's to painting our worlds with the vibrant colors of authenticity and courage. Safe travels to you too, always.

Nothing about this property is "retro", as retro is an imitation of past design. This amazing property is as authentic 1970s as it gets. Maybe "vintage" would be a more accurate way to describe it, and its features... Either way, thank you for sharing it with us!
