Abandoned- Original 20`s home/Retro stuff and furniture left behind everywhere.

Hey explorers :-) This home is full of retro themes/interiors and stuff left behind as well as kids toys and some old and some newer furniture. The home itself would fall in to the State Bank WW1 return soldier scheme and is actually a great example of the early 20`s transition away from the federation style villas in to the more simplified bungalows so this one is what I call a hybrid caught in both eras. It has a blend of both interiors but has the long shot gun hallway of the old villas which did carry in to the early bungalows. The facade is very simple and lacks the huge gable over the veranda of the traditional bungalows. The old shed out the back is as old as the home too I would say.
The place is a bit of a time capsule and I love filming these old original homes. Hope you enjoy.

Those kitchen cabinets were "EVERYTHING" , what a fantastic find Makes me so sad it will be demolished. Wow, just wow!

[@lianapalumbo8457]

I'm just going to put this out there!! I hope "someone" takes those fans, brass bathroom fixtures and anything else that isn't bolted down before it gets demolished. It's so heartbreaking to think this house has stood the test of time for 100 years just to be torn down to make way for those fugly townhouses. Our beautiful history is being lost to greedy developers 😢💔Seeing this makes me more determined than ever to get my 162 year old farmhouse heritage listed. Thank you for another awesome find xx

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

How beautiful are those kitchen cupboards?? I do hope they are salvaged. I think it's amazing that generations of people have lived there and continued to use those very same beautiful cupboards 😍 What an amazing find!!

[@chatnoir7923]

I'm with you. Those cabinets are stunning and still have the original Bakelite handles and look to be in excellent condition.

[@sandkayknow]

oh my. Those fans and that art deco dresser need to be rescued.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep too good to be wasting away Sandy. Cheers for watching :-)

[@roxiesinesh1845]

I cant imagine going in any home and totally disrespecting everything a home & family represent. Unbelievable craftmanship in each of these homes. Impressive stuff.

[@brifren2]

I hope someone salvaged the beautiful kitchen cabinets, the lamps, the chairs, the vanity, the old school desk that was in the kitchen, old fans and handles and as much as possible in this great house that should have been saved and restored. Such a pity that it was trashed! I'll never understand people who make such a mess: if you're in a house, whoever you are, respect it. Thank you for the great visit!!

[@francoiset1068]

Good morning Paul,I don't know where to start,I feel like 😭 I wish I could salvage that kitchen, can't be more original than that,the mixture of eras and fixtures is heart breaking,and those retro fans I wish someone saves those things ,I don't know what I do if I was in that house , another thing I can't understand is how people can leave photos behind ,and even if you rent why can't you be clean that smoke stained everything ,So sad that that lovely home is going to be demolished , Paul this house really touched my ♥️.I wish you a good rest of the day and have a great and happy Christmas 🌲 n most of all stay safe , thank you Paul big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺💝🎄🕊️🎄

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Frenchy Francoise :-) Glad you felt that way for this home, it is a great old example of the early 20`s and those cupboards in the kitchen are the best! :-) Yeah photos left behind makes you wonder why....Have yourself a great xmas also and stay safe! :-)

[@leslymoore1962]

@@urbexindigo5164 For me, the garage was the saddest part: those shelves with coffee jars full of screws and nails, the paint tins lined up, all facing front, so neatly labelled. Someone left that house very suddenly. So sad.

[@katealexander88]

Just when I didn't think there was too much to save, those cupboards 😍 such a thing of beauty, I see many agree in the comments, surely they were saved and are now being appreciated my someone lucky along with those fans 💜

[@urbexindigo5164]

Those cupboards and everything else were smashed up in the demo. I think I have pics of all that somewhere. :-(

[@suziel2849]

Thank you Paul. So glad someone is documenting these wonderful old homes. You are always respectful. As you walk around I always imagine the family that once lived and loved there. The possibly returned serviceman who had his shed all organised, mowing the lawns on a Sunday. Hope the ,kitchen and stained glass is at least salvaged. The lady spent many hours baking in there. The kids probably skidded up and down the hallway in socks too.

[@urbexindigo5164]

You are very welcome Double Tap, I love filming these old places! :-) Glad you are enjoying and wondering all those possibilities within the wall of these homes. Hopefully the cool old cabinets and other things get saved and cleaned up! Thanks for watching again :-)

[@traceybradshaw]

It always breaks my heart to see photos left behind 😢

[@lladylobo1]

There are so many original features in this home, I can't name them all. So I will just say that I admired so much here. I will comment that the cabinets in the kitchen were absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for taking us along on this explore. It was grand.

[@Slayerjane61]

Love the kitchen--especially the hardware with the green bakelite. I hope the cabinetry will be salvaged!

[@daleleeder3534]

Great bungalow, thanks for sharing with us, such a shame it is being demolished, such lovely original features and the art deco kitchen is absolutely amazing, I would love to rescue it for my own kitchen 🤣

[@sandrap3089]

I love the old kitchen cabinets they absolutely beautiful.

[@MistyLaneLoveConquersALL]

I love the glass cabinets in the kitchen and the birdhouse chime. I was picturing me there cleaning, painting and fixing it up! I love your channel. See you next time. 😊👍

[@lynneperg6853]

What a lovely find. So sad it's up for demolition. Seeing the pictures always makes me melancholy. Such a loss of history. Glad you're documenting it.

[@natalea1967]

I just love these old places a lot of history.

[@belleange590]

All the rooms have smoke stains. There was a big difference in the girls room with the color blue. There are a few items there that need to be saved by any means and the dresser with the mirror final bedroom. Ooohhhh the fire place mantel. Looks like squatters were there at one time. I would even try to save the side light (stained glass) by the front door. Great video, great old home.

[@vanessasimmons1175]

Amazing. I’ve only ever seen a house damaged by heavy smoking and that was worse than this one. Ppl since 1970 had never cleaned. It was dark brown everywhere and they still lived there! Hope that kitchen will be salvaged.

[@julzcares]

Such an interesting explore thanks Paul of an original post WW1 home built for war veterans, with the emergence of the Bungalow style. Looks are deceiving from the outside of the house, where internally it appears more spacious with high ceilings and decorated with fancy ceiling roses and cornices and with an elaborate fireplace in the lounge room. What a great find to capture the authentic Art Deco kitchen cupboards with patterned glass. It seems as if the previous owners were satisfied to live with very few upgrades to the house. Enjoy viewing this home and it did feel like you were stepping back in time.

[@joharmon2148]

This house hasn't been loved in very many years. So sad that people just live like that. I would hope that they will pull out those cabinets they just need a good cleaning and maybe some paint they are gorgeous. Glad you found it to film before it was lost forever Paul

[@pamelahoberg1800]

After watching this video I felt like having a shower. Great tour just the same. Cheers

[@TalkTalk44]

Like ,really like the art deco cupboards . Always have liked are deco period but another one to hit the dust .Who ever ends up with those are deco cupboards is one lucky person. Thank you filming there lovely houses ,a record from the past for the future. Wishing you and yours a very Merry ,happy joyful Christmas and the very best in the New Year.🏘️🎄🤗

Absolutely beautiful I'm so glad you are able to get this one on video the kitchen WOW, what can I say all original the cabinets gorgeous and I'm only halfway through the video can't wait to see the rest of the house!! Thanks for getting this one on video stay safe my friend from Andrea in Verona Missouri🥰 Went back and finished the video loved the fireplace the dresser with the mirror the old fans and the ceiling sconces beautiful beautiful beautiful such a great find thanks again stay safe😇🥰

[@l.5832]

I love art deco and those kitchen cupboards, especially the uppers with glass insets would fetch a good price. I would love to have them.

[@christinebritcher-viviyan5080]

The kitchen cabinets were really nice to see, I loved the shade of green on the handles. Also of note were the ceilings and fireplace. I hope the dressing table gets saved it would look good cleaned and polished. Wow the nicotine stains......

[@timareskog2418]

Definitely the original kitchen, those cupboards would be superb to clean up & reuse. You can tell it’s the original stainless steel sink by it’s colour and the high fold up splash back. Those old fans are great as often the Low Speed is silent, making sleeping with them on very easy, I love them. Nice sized garage, probably once housed a Mitsubishi judging by the parts left behind. I recon it’s a deceased estate of a male that someone’s tossed looking for valuables.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Tim, yeah the cupboards all open and couch cushions on the floor I agree someone went through looking for the goodies. :-) Those cupboards are so awesome! Cheers for watching mate :-)

[@normalopez3476]

Another beauty!!! Thank you so much! Those Art Deco kitchen cabinets👍👍👍

[@MrOnyxWolf]

Really amazing that the front patio of the house looks great. Compared to the inside though. Lovely that the original kitchen cabinets are retained. Rarely most houses would ever keep the original kitchen decor since many usually change throughout the decades and years.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi MrOnyxWolf :-) Yeah the exterior is very good indeed although more simpler than the Californian bungalows. The inside although well worn had that great abandoned feel and smell to it so I really enjoyed that haha. :-) Cheers for watching

[@dearnapst]

Loved the retro kitchen. thanks

[@terrilawson2559]

I loved the kitchen sink, I would buy one if I could!

I’m so glad you captured this home! It must have been a beauty in it’s day! The details are great and those kitchen cabinets are amazing! Thank you!

[@ladytron1724]

Fantastic kitchen cabinets and the Bakelite Art Deco handles are worth a small fortune.P.S would love one of those vintage fans.

[@christineryan9684]

Oh what a fantastic find so interesting, and the Walls ceilings so stained if that’s from smoking what damage. The kitchen were a fantastic find my grandparents had that type in their home and the gas lounge heater my grandparents had in the lounge and the tubes were very brittle. The kitchen I noticed had a school desk in it with the ink wells. Also I think they were pears in that jar my grandmother did a lot preserving in her time. Thanks Paul for the find look forward to the next

[@miyapinyon8726]

This was a little gem. So many beautiful things in there I loved, the kitchen cabinets, the ceiling medallions and those beautiful wood floors to name a few. Thank you Paul

They had cat(s). At the 2:42-mark, that red box with the cats on it came from a shelter. Pet transportation box, given away by the air holes.

[@marilyndenler1370]

The Art Deco kitchen cupboards, the ceilings,hanging lights in the hallway love it all! Glad you were able to film it b/4 it was wiped off the face of the earth.

[@MrGaryRoberton]

The old Thirties Cabinets are the real article, The 40s to 50 s metal cage fans are going for about $75.00 each in the antique stores here. Does have WIDE Date range for contents. Appears that there may have been homeless about, until they were chased out.Some serious nicotine pall in the lounge.Almost a road map of occupancy, Cheers and season's best!!

[@louisarmstrong8863]

i noticed there was a lot of brass fittings in that house they are very rare !! worth a lot of money .

[@sandrakoch8682]

Greetings from Vegas.. I also love those kitchen cabinets the door and handles, I like the stained glass wish there was more. Plus the medallions as well as the door handles. I'm glad that you take the time to explain what era the house was built. Those fans the old type great find when I was young the early 60s I once got my elbow caught in one. Blessings to you hope you have a wonderful Christmas day and you're able to be with your family and friends.

What a lovely place that would have been back in the day. I like that first cupboard as you walk into the kitchen.

[@vandahuman8522]

[@yme511]

Just lovely down to the door handles! Be careful out there in you travels. Cheers and keep these great vids coming!!!

[@suzannebirkholz8757]

I watch alot of abandoned mansion/home videos. Yours is the only one where the toilet is separate from the tub. Here in the US it is all in the same room or there might be a door between them, but still same room. Just an observation. I enjoyed this video, the stuff left behind always makes it more interesting. Thanks.

[@joanmurdock3197]

You would have a heck of a time frying to find a place to rent here if you were a smoker. They pretty much don't exist. It is also against the law to smoke in your home if you have children. I would never, not even on my worst day, consider putting my baby in crib out by the back door on it's own. Especially when the the exterior door has glass panels. What were they thinking. It would take an enormous amount of elbow grease but you could get those kitchen cabinets looking beautiful again and get a pretty good price for them at auction. That old dresser with the round mirror was nice too. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@ozbubbles1]

Thank you Paul, such beautiful original pieces. I think some of the occupants were very heavy smokers by the nicotine stains on everything, still it was a wonderful building.

[@johndistefano9056]

Merry Christmas to you all from Melbourne

A very beautiful bungalow.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you think so too Marybeth :-) Thanks for watching :-)

[@donellemiller6680]

So many beautiful items to be salvaged! Glass leaded and colored windows, mantles, kitchen cabinets. Other than buried under layers of smoke residue would be worth the salvage. You definatly hit on another remarkable historical find. Thank you for sharing, I always look forward to your special explores. Merry Christmas and here's to a better and healthier New Year for all! Thank you Paul.

[@ken_tiki5241]

Kind of makes you wonder why people leave family photos behind. The old Cluedo game in the lounge room. I still have that version. Probably early 70s.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Ken, seems to have been a long time owner in there for sure, maybe handed down to the kids who had their own children. Cheers for watching. :-)

[@jenniferjacobs228]

I adore the red brickwork from that era. I wish they would stop demolishing them.

[@jjsmith8956]

It's odd to see how things are done in other countries. The neighborhoods and homes where you explore are all so similar, one-story , center halls, with small, fenced yards. Toilets outside the back door,etc. Odd. It's also interesting that it's easy to tell if the last occupants were clean people or not, even amid the decay. Pretty cool. Thank you! (P.s...what do you look like?! LOL.)

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

Another very cool find Merry Christmas and a Happy new year

[@asilversurfer4372]

The people who lived there must have been very heavy smokers for all that discolouration everywhere, loved the kitchen cabinets hope they will be saved. Another interesting video, waiting to see the next one.

[@janelleconnell5843]

Love the kitchen cabinet and handles and bench top! Candles and spoons on lounge room floor...very telling. Hope that wasn't blood on the bedroom mattress, great explore very interesting thankyou 🙂

[@janaj4511]

Signs of chronic smoking but they were worried about fire - I counted three extinguishers and two fire blankets. Would have liked to have seen Street View images of that plants progress up the wall and roof of that house.

[@elmin82]

good video

[@PL-mu1cp]

That was decades of smoke to stain it like that. We had a renter that was a chain smoker, took 2 coats of primer and one coat of paint to cover her 20 years of smoking. You could see where her favorite chair was by the stains up the walls to the ceiling where she would sit and watch TV. I hoe the fans and the dresser are salavaged and some of the light fixtures.

[@kristineguetschow9134]

What a creepy place to keep your baby. Looks like the back hallway.

"Hey- you didn't give the thumb salute😁.lol. it's really hard to know where to begin? So many things I like about this house. I would have to break it down, and say:.. the kitchen and everything in it. Well except the fridg and jar of..barf. those cabinets even sounded, perfect, when you closed them. Love the stainless steel sink and the old green cabinet it's housed in. The little niche beside the front door. The floors. They are incredible. The fireplace..I love. I'd love to get my paints and brushes out, and draw "trees wherever any cracks are in the walls. I bet that place reeked of cigarettes tho. Ughhh.

[@maristresemann4552]

I 💕 those kitchen cupboards! Was all the smoke discoloration from a smoker in the house or a fire????

[@cindyhazelton9683]

My hope is that before these building are torn down the retro cabinets and the green sink cabinet, the round mirror and dresser underneath it as well as the red chair in the one bedroom plus the glass dome fixtures which light bulbs are put in and the fans are taken out. There are still things of value in both buildings. I live in North America and people are always looking for these kind of things. If I could afford it I would come and remove the items ive seen. If nothing else, there are things that could be donated to the needy. I just can't understand the concept of leaving the stuff left behind and destroyed with the buildings. Any way, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year filled with so many blessings that you won't know what to do with them all. Keep on keeping on. And stay safe. That covid virus is mutating and who knows how deadly that will be

[@bro031]

Interesting place keep up the good work and finding the place , the preserve in the jar in the kitchen I’m fairly sure they were apricot halves as my grandmother used to do the preserves like that and that hat on the hat stand if that was a vintage akubra which were made in Australia it could be worth a bit of money.
