Beautiful Abandoned Antebellum Plantation House full of Memories in South Carolina Built in 1840

[@melissaboggs5176]

Houses don’t have to be grand to be gorgeous. This one is beautiful Kappy. These older homes were built sooooo much better than the homes of today. Most newer homes start falling apart after 20yrs and then there’s the homes you bring us, that’s been standing for hundreds of years. We wouldn’t have these beauties of the past if it wasn’t for your dedication and hard work. Thanks so much Kappy! 😊

[@tammyasbury6517]

I agree with you ,unique they are ,I'm glad to be able to reply because I can't put a comment for some reason,first time it's done it on my explorers,but must be messed up

[@rainravenish]

Newer homes start coming apart immediately

[@traciegauntt1614]

I agree

[@luannestrickland4199]

Thank you for sharing our history to me as I’m not physically able to get around and explore!❤

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Well said always!! So true about newer homes! Just not built the same! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

This is one of those cases of, "LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!" From outside I was expecting pretty much a simple 2- or 3-room cottage, but it's much larger inside than appears. What a surprise! And such a grand entrance, too! WOW!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Right!! So nice and spacious inside! I really liked the huge upstairs as well! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@laurak5174]

Both of these homes need to be restored!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Agreed! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@RosemarieComtois-qs8ce]

This little home is in very good shape for being built in 1840. 184 years old and there is no interior water damage. The roof, while aging, kept the home secure . This would be a fun dwelling to restore. It could be very charming ! When the roof on any dwelling is damaged, the interior decays rapidly.

[@joehomich4299]

I love how you just film these houses and you don’t disturb anything. Keep up the good work.

[@LTB528]

If these old places could talk. What marvelous stories they could tell ❤ us.

[@anncarlin8767]

what makes you think they are marvelous - I get bad vibes from this house and the fact slaves built it ~~~~

[@Granny2470]

@@anncarlin8767what makes you think slaves built it? Just because it’s in the south?? Not everyone in the south had slaves!! My husbands family is from the south and didn’t own one slave!! They done all the hard work themselves!!

[@Chrisssy2112]

@@anncarlin8767while yes, some houses were built by slaves, but to assume it was without all of the facts is kinda ignorant ✌️

[@debbytidwell9870]

My family is from Alabama; they were share croppers so they didn’t own slavers.

[@courtneycahoon7890]

​@anncarlin8767 not all homes were built by slaves 😂😂 not everyone had slaves

[@Bella65]

This house seems like it held up very well, and I am happy to see they didn't leave alot of junk in it. Small, but beautiful house, you are right.

[@susanpage8315]

Beautiful home! This would be Greek Revival architecture, popular when this house was built. The center hallway, with doors at both ends, allowed breezes to flow through. A shotgun house is a narrow house, common in the south, where you could shoot a gun from front to back. These homes were quite small and are still common in the deep south.

[@tammybaker6635]

Now this would be a place, if I could win the lottery, I would buy and fix to live in. It is my type of place! The sun hitting the windows to each side of the front door was awesome! The inside under the stairs I'd almost bet was what the original wood looked like. Great find! The second place reminded me of a friends place when I was a kid. You knocked another video out of the park Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along! 😊

[@SRay-or3nc]

I liked seeing the original wood under the staircase. I imagine it would have been very dark in there and people wanted something brighter so they painted it.

[@Anonomo-d3d]

That old house is as solid as a rock for one that is almost 175 years old!

[@deborahlybrand2283]

Oh my you’re in SC !! This was a very sweet home. The wood looked like what we call lighter knot!! Very good shape. I like the strings for curtain rods 😊. We had them long ago too. You made do with whatever you had on hand. Think it would still make a good home with a whole lot of cleaning. Old houses just have an unique smell to the wood. Looks almost like my Aunts house, it sat on old wooden pillars. Thanks for the video and the last house was pretty too, but I think the first was my favorite.

[@fearlessvic]

The first house, OMG, so worth restoring! Just so beautiful! Second house was stunning! So sad to see it empty! ❤

[@lisalamp3537]

I'm sure that whoever built that, was very proud.

[@denisewatson5295]

Thanks for sharing this old antebellum house 🏠. It's gorgeous and no leaky roof. It's a very sturdy place. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Great video! That book was the first chapter book I ever read and I loved it! I got it from the Weekly Reader book club newsletter that we got in school every week.

[@SB-mm9zh]

I would move into that second home in a heart beat. It's beautiful - full of character and there's a homely warmth to it even though it's abandoned. Thank you.

[@rockfangd]

Someone place save this beautiful piece of history. Must have a metal roof. This house looks like it would last another 100 years. Thanks Kappy. This one is incredible

[@rainravenish]

This home is beautiful. In the days it was built wallpaper was big, so the board walls above the wainscoting could have had wallpaper on them. You can see how they covered the fireplaces and had wood stove heat after they became available. There is also a stovepipe hole upstairs too. I didn't see one in the kitchen, but there must have been. The roofline is still as straight as a die. I would love to live in this house and restore it!

[@SRay-or3nc]

I really wonder why this house was vacated. I have seen people in the area live in much worse houses. It could be a case of a farmer buying the land and really not wanting to fool with the house except to keep it looking neat.

[@jenwatson5539]

Both of these houses should be lived in! Would have loved to have seen more of the second house. Thank you Kappy!

[@Quitealways]

Beautiful old homes. Gorgeous land & cotton field was neat. Would be wonderful if someone could return the to their original beauty. Great find.

[@owenmccabe3277]

KAPPY a simple thank you for bringing us these videos. I look forward to every one. You have a great voice and personality. Your love of these homes shows in every description..

[@SandyWolf-]

Beautiful home in good shape too! Great video 👍

[@tishmusso3949]

First house is an ideal candidate for do-it-yourself Fixer to take on. Well preserved and beautifully crafted.

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Great wood work,must be well built, still looks habitable. Larger home and land are really nice. Thanks Kap

[@megfuchs9425]

I had that book as a kid! I remember really liking it! Of course that has been MANY years ago now.😊

[@DD-th2bd]

Kappy I like it when you explore houses down south those are some of my favorites. Hearing that rain fall brings back memories when I stayed at my grandma's house in the summer and she had a tin roof and it was so loud when the rain fell

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

4:27 Closets always have a way of showing what was original. At this timestamp you can see what the original wainscoting and flooring looked like…very nice!

[@stargirl7646]

WOW that first house was in good shape! Almost 200 years old 😮 I need that kind of quality these days lol!

[@carlashepherd9362]

I love these old homes! I wish I could buy it & restore it back to her magnificent glory! Very awesome video bro! ❤️👍🤘

[@colmwn]

What a great house! Great candidate for restoration

[@randymcleod1593]

Smaller but beautiful. But not too small. The structure is holding up a lot better than houses today.

[@priscilla5306]

These gems you find are always on a busy road . I was surprised how muffled the traffic is on the inside!

[@debrademedici864]

This first house was just beautiful and I hope someone can restore !!! The shiplap and wainscoting was so much to be preserved!!!! I loved how the hung the curtains !!! Thanks Kappy !!!

[@tangelamoore8844]

Wonder does anyone owns it because the property is clean and the house is beautiful ans and nice and and quiet also no neighbors either great house and video kappy.

[@eringemini7091]

A house that was built well, built solid, and built to last. As they say; they don't make them like they used to. 🏠

This doesn't look like an antebellum plantation home. This house is nice and belt very good, I like it.

[@tammyasbury6517]

Like that upstairs,thT room so big,very nice homes ,they dont build them like this anymore,that fireplace,the breezeway you can imagine a cool breeze

The first home was beautiful. I wish I could fix it up. Would be the perfect size.

[@Sandjan90]

The first house had such beautiful windows that let in so much light and the wainscotting and shiplap were gorgeous. I loved the big front porch on the second one.

I have a few acres in Tennessee looking down the Rocky River Valley and would love to have this little house there...

You found two beauties today! Not much has been changed with either of these. Nice treat and thank you!

[@NYDogLady]

What a cool old house. Love the tongue and groove finish inside, the wainscoting, the woodwork. Shotgun houses were in southern Louisiana. The name came from front and back doors in house lining up so you could fire shotgun and not hit anything inside. They allowed breezes to move thru house, cooling them

[@luciagodur5129]

Hi Kappy, what a wonderful surprise in the middle of the week😅

[@cecoya]

[@pben4218]

Very neat old house! A fixer upper indeed! Would love to live there. Thanks for showing us!☺️

[@SRay-or3nc]

I am so very happy that the interstate didn't take this little jewel. I would love to have this little place to redo, but in another location. I am really amazed at how old it is. I really appreciate you going there and capturing it. Anytime, I see a staircase done that style I know the house is old. I certainly didn't realize that house was that old! This area was not one of the more affluent places and there is still a great deal of poverty.

[@ckswat77zz51]

Great to see you on a Wednesday Kappy! Just what I needed. The mini mansion was really beautiful & still looked like it was in good shape. Loved all the beautiful carved wood. The next place had an amazing porch. Take care
