Finding TREASURES in an ABANDONED 1850s House! You WON'T Believe What's Inside

[@carlashepherd9362]

Oh my God how could someone demolish this beautiful grand old mansion? What a gorgeous mansion, demolishing this old house is criminal! Glad you got to record this beautiful old gal before demolition! Outstanding video bro! 👍👍❤️🤘😭

Sometimes greed is more important. It's sad. Thanks for watching

[@norwegianblue2017]

Whatever crap that developer is going to build in its place won't have anywhere near the durability, quality of timber, or craftsmanship of this mansion. I could understand if it were falling down, but this thing looks almost move-in ready. I'm sure it cost more to demo it than to get it spruced up and up to code.

[@AbandonedSteve]

@@norwegianblue2017 I agree

[@AbandonedSteve]

@@bethmann3283 nothing that I could find. It's hard to get that info sometimes. I wish it was easier. From what's inside I believe that they were older in age and just wanted to move on. The land is now a bunch of overpriced houses.

What a shame that the house was demolished. The beautiful double wedding band quilt in the upstairs bedroom I hope someone saved it. It’s worth quite a good chunk of money.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Yell all you want. You have a right too. The previous owner probably had it for sale for a new buyer and the developer most likely told them I will give you cash for the entire thing. Most sellers will take that in a heartbeat. The area this is located in is pretty populated and in demand. When they see a house for sale with 20+ acres, they want it

[@gvii]

That's pretty depressing. Such a neat set of houses. Hell, I'd have been happy in the guest house. All that wood paneling was so nice. And that really neat stairway. There was all kinds of old and now rare stuff in there. There was a good bit of furniture that would have been quite pricey in its day, and would still pull a good price. Probably a lot of interesting books in there as well. But it's a real bummer seeing a gorgeous set of really neat homes like that and knowing they were just rolled over for a bunch of McMansions, or whatever.
