Steve, that baby carriage is so beautiful. You can still see these being used in old footage from the 1940s. The victorian prams have huge wheels. I still have mine too. The iron bed beside the pram was just gorgeous too. I think maybe the family fell to an unfortunate fate during occupied France in WW2.

I am so glad you took the time to research it and wrote here for the rest of us. I also was thinking the same thing plus how much they were into clothes and hats. How when they left they just left it in the best room in the house and took most of the pictures. But it was as if one of the last thing that the family did was put down their dad's hat and laid it down in the room that met the most to them before taking the time to take their pictures. Thank you again.

[@feliciacorage9433]

Is it just me or do these young people pass over TON's of interesting things to look at common antiques that are seen time and time again in these videos? When I see something interesting its always as they reach past it to pick up an antique "Bullet", for example.…..just saying! It would be so much more enjoyable if we (the viewers) could get more of an idea, who they were and what they did for a living etc. I totally appreciate the effort in going to these places and taping it for us! Don't get me wrong! But please educate yourselves with Common Antiques vs. Interesting finds!

[@barryjackson1401]

I respect that they have a lot of respect for the artifacts but....In some circumstances, there's things in that house that need to be saved! That ornate piano...omg...etc, Those draweres reminded me of going through my late Grand parents drawers as a kid. I was fascinated back then too.

[@ahmaddaher9746]

TOTALLY AGREE. I was like "no bro get back to that" during the whole video lol

[@wheresmydamnedkeys2179]

I agree. I keep thinking to myself that the the guy finds some good sites, but has so little experience in what he's actually looking at that it becomes like a suspense drama. Where you see what's going on, but the protagonist (who in the movies would typically have the murderer standing right behind him with a weapon) doesn't, and you just want to yell at the screen. He can't be particularly blamed for what his life experience happens to be, but at least a few books on antiques and architecture, a couple of episodes of antiques road show, or as someone mentioned some greater awareness of art history, just some basic knowledge of the trends and movements that were happening reflecting the periods common to the history of the location, would expand the experience for all involved.

[@melissaflanders5103]

[@brolovestheocean3647]

Thelly Shirendal the house and everything in there is way older than 1962. Lots of the black white photos, the decor in the house and the style of the clothing in the pictures could indicate the last family was there in the 1920s. But the house is probably even older then that. The last family there was most likely around the time of the 1920s. Lots of the furniture there also indicates the time of the early 20th century. The house itself is definitely from the 1920s or even farther back. But the music books from the 1960s could indicate the last family was from that time period, and they decided to just keep the old art work, furniture and pictures inside the home.

On a personal note, Steve ... you should keep latex gloves with you when you explore. You could stuff several pair in your pant pockets. They won't impede you as they are fitted but they would keep your hands protected as you touch all the things you encounter and you can just throw away at the end. I worry a little about what you are getting on your hands - hate for it to end up in your mouth or eyes or anywhere. You can pick up at a drugstore or buy online. Make sure it is latex so they will fit snuggly. Anyway just a suggestion for your protection. Enjoy your videos mainly I think because you are having so much fun!

@@gloriahanes6490 Oh well. I'd still try. Might be the difference between an antique item getting destroyed or a floor caving in and not.

And it is also sad that a 21 yrs old has to say this to someone who is (i assume) older than me.

Something about those tealights in the drawer makes me wonder who left them there. They're definitely not from that time era. Btw the painting at 22:05 is of Napolian Bonaparte. Thanks again for the awesome video! The reason why some children will not claim an inheritance is due to the debts of the deceased. When you inherit an estate you also inherit the debt that goes along with it. If the debt is more than the value of the estate itself than obviously one would not claim the inheritance; thus, you end up with sad situations such as this one. So this family must have had some massive debt to have left it all behind like that. It's mind blowing!

I've got to say I'm impressed with the ethics of these folks: truly operating in the spirit of exploration, compassionate about the fact that these are artifacts of the lives of real human beings whose stories may be tragic, always certain to leave everything as they found it. The amount of respect for the places and people is palpable. A lot of folks seem to criticize Mr. Ronin for a lack of historical knowledge, etc., but I think that's an opportunity for some crowd research. I'd love it if Mr. Ronin and crew could perhaps take and make available more still photos of some of the more interesting and telling artifacts and documents. In this house, for instance, I'm sure there are those among us who could identify the electronic equipment, translate from of the French documents, put dates to many of the items, and help piece together more of this family's story. (I'm a historical researcher myself, so I'd be glad to chip in.) This is wonderful as urbex, but its an opportunity to uncover so much more history and so many forgotten stories.

[@paulkeitzke2064]

Has it occurred to you that someone is still living in that room? Notice that there is not much dust on the center table and on the piano. There is some dust in the buffet but the chair doesn't have dust that certainly would have accumulated since 2016. The family might let the house run down but some of the furnishing are antiques, most especially the piano which, as you say, it quite a find and could be restored in not just tuned. Napoleon is not the owner. You are obviously in France but I suspect the family has origins in Germany because the name Kuntz. The family name is not Genten. That is the signature of the one of the Ministers of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of France. The Medal of Honor is just a high honor not only given to legionnaires, but to artists, musicians or I suspect people in an industrial profession; as the Ministry in the certificate indicates. But the name is right in the middle of the certificate it is Monsieur Emile Charles Kuntz. Which does not sound so much French (which it could be) as it seems to be German. Why is the ground floor in ruins with all the trash ... and the first floor somewhat livable? I suspect that as soon as you leave ... the current owners will come back to their home. P.S. Time stops in every home, if you fail to wind the clock.

My guess all the trash you see is left by those who were squatting in the place. I have dealt with squatters before who moved to several homes in one general area. Every time they got up and moved they left the place full of trash and filth. Often they live in a few rooms they keep somewhat clean, and one they congregate in they keep cleaner than the others. The rest of the home they will throw their trash of all kinds into. They think no one will know anyone is living there if they leave it a complete filthy mess, which is far from the truth. People always leave signs when they are living in a place if you look closely. It’s safe to say that home is now completely abandoned. I agree with some of the others who commented. You are good at what you are doing by finding interesting places to explore and capture their history visually that’s frozen in time, but you do need to learn history and the different periods, as well as brush up on antiques. It will enrich your own personal experience in the future, as well as that of those who watch your videos. It isn’t really just about going through abandoned buildings to look at things. It’s finding the building’s story and that of the people who lived in it. When you do that you find it’s soul. You have a natural talent at what you do, and are enthusiastic for it, which I really enjoy. Thank you for sharing your experiences and all the hard work you put into it all, as it is very much appreciated. Blessings! Be safe.
