Beautiful abandoned Victorian farmhouse built in 1895. Explore #57
This house was once hidden from the road and very over grown. There was construction on the road so they had to cut down a lot of the trees in front of this house now showing the beauty of this house once again. Built in 1895 this Victorian farmhouse has been abandoned for approx. 6 years. The original owner was a successful oil painter. The second owners were also artists. They moved out and gave the house and property to their son. I was told the son just wanted the land not the house. Today the house sits abandoned and likely never to be lived in again. Poor insulation and wood frame windows this house would cost a small fortune to heat in the cold Canadian winters we have.

About me:
I have been exploring abandoned places since I was a child and now I would like to film the explores and share the videos with you.
My father took me to my first abandoned house when I was 7 years old. I remember going into the house and a old farmer came in and told us "we better watch out as the floors are all rotten and unsafe". Ever since that day I was hooked on exploring abandoned places.
If you have a location you would like to share with me or want me to explore for you please send me an email at [e-mail] and I will give you full credit for the share in the description and during the video if you choose.

This is one of those places that breaks my heart to see neglected. Someone built this place with love you can see it in the details. I like the different patterns in the brickwork it's unique. The gingerbread and the interior woodwork suggests this was someone with money back when it was built. Sadly most of the woodwork has been painted but could be restored. someone please save this place before it's gone.

[@suzannebennett8987]

I agree. I wouldn't call this a farm house. It's more of an estate house. There's money behind it. I'm sure it's quite sad sitting there waiting to be occupied again, but it looks to me like it will probably be torn down because of all the structural damage. Deep cracks between the bricks indicate severe foundation damage, and as the presenter says, the floor joists are badly rotted. It would certainly be worthwhile to save the woodwork, brickwork and even some of the very old, thick, old-growth tree harvested floorboards for reuse.

The wainscoting is classically installed- meaning it is right at the bottom sill of the window. This is how it is SUPPOSED to be done. Today's builders etc have NO IDEA and just run it at 36 inches. There are good articles about its history- and goes back to perfect proportions/Fibonacci sequence, and classical Greek/Roman building. My 1870's era Victorian farmhouse is of a similar design.

The older part of that house exudes charm, character and craftsmanship. You don't see that anymore except in a few old cities like Charleston, SC or New Orleans. And I love the exterior, reminds me of something you'd see in a story book. I bet that house was absolutely stunning in it's hey day, even with all the floral wall paper. I love the front door and the turquoise painted double doors and high ceilings. You don't see houses like this much anymore. I wish they had kept the original character with the cheap looking add ons, which takes away from the house, unfortunately. Somebody with some $$$$ needs to restore that one.

[@karinmcdougall7066]

the strings in the one bedroom are for drying laundry. One of those quick things most people hang over the bath tub. If you noticed it hung right at the window, and over a rad, which obviously was no longer working after that new furnace went in. They're usually hooked up to a big old hot water boiler type furnace. It was not unusual to put more wallpaper over wallpaper. Most was actual paper, not the vinyl stuff like we have now. We peeled 11 layers off the kitchen walls in one house! The staircase definitely says whoever built it was very well off! Looked like it might have been a dairy farm at one time, and those meds in the cupboard almost confirm that. The one with the yellow on the label looked like an injectible multivitamin I've used a lot over the years, and the one of the others looked like Oxy-Tetracyclin. Broad spectrum antibiotic. Probably what the 3rd bottle was too.

The "string" is an indoor clothesline for when it's too cold to hang them outside (or when it's raining). People often would put wallpaper over wallpaper. I guess it was easier than having to scrape it all off, and definitely quicker. I remember scraping my mother's dining room years ago. There were 3 layers I scraped off then came a layer of paint over more wallpaper. That was quite the job. Then I had to put up new paper because the walls weren't good enough to paint. The house had been built in 1935.

some amazing trim and the home is still easily restorable. Your comment that it would take a fortune to heat is not accurate. Notice that nearly all of the wooden windows also have wooden storms. With a little TLC you can make original windows + storms as good as new double glazed windows - and they look so much better and will last much longer. I know this since I live in a similar Ontario farm house with all original windows and storms. They needed some restoration work, but are now ready for decades of new life. At the top of the landing where you mention that you thought there was once a window - was once a door with a small balcony above the first floor doorway. This is quite a beautiful house and it could be a great home. Yes, it would be a project, but one well worth it given the exceptional exterior trim, original interior wood work and generous spaces.

Jennifer Jacobs . The remaining chair is for a short woman to stand in to remove upper cabinets contents, and to take breaks while a load of stuff is taken out. It’s a big house. It will cost money to repair but it will be worth much more refinished. Cute with big spaces.

[@jerimathews3215]

Reminds me of the home in the movies series Andy Hardy starring a young Mickey Rooney. I would buy that in a heart beat, restore and farm the land. Our home is an early 1800s at 200 years old. farmhouse restored to original form with all original wood. Back then the quality of the build outweighs anything you buy today. Down to the original door knobs ect.

Love this house so sad its gone to waste would make a beautiful family home would take a lot of hard work to do it up but its so worth it

They had a washing line inside ..... in the bedroom ..... for when it was wet outside so that they could dry their laundry

[@NikiFromTexas]

Possibly an area to dry herbs for medicinal purposes, as they kept herb gardens back then as well. Say what you want, but that place was built to last, & was built with so much Love. Gorgeous place. TY for finding & filming this treasure from the past.

[@claire040776]

Niki From Texas ..... all I said was that it looked like a washing line ..... I didn’t say anything negative about the place ...... jeeze!

[@NikiFromTexas]

@@claire040776 I'm sorry, @Claire Mahony, I must've miscommunicated in my comment somehow. I apologize. I meant that not only do I agree with you that it was a inside wash/dry line, but if you'll go back to the video, he sees a piece of vegetation on the line, & questions whether someone dried their cannabis there. I speculated that perhaps they also dried herbs for medicinal purposes in that space. I completely agree with you, & my comment was only further speculation. I again apologize for any type of misunderstanding. I think we're all very tired & stressed these days, & we must focus on our commonalities, & not our miscommunications. My further comment was directed to the videographer, who didnt care for the wallpaper, etc, & pointed out that the place wouldn't stand much longer.Wishing you much Love across the miles from Texas to you.

Niki From Texas ~ What A Truly Beautiful Comment, Darling!! 🌸

[@duckingcensorship1037]

Wow.. that is such a beautiful house! As a Mason i really love the brick and stone work. I would give anything to restore that beautiful home. Thank you for sharing

[@lynneperg6853]

I was raised in an old brick farmhouse, circa 1840. The ceilings were 11' in the whole house. I loved it and the farm it was part of. Unfortunately it was bulldozed for condominiums many years ago.

[@truthseeker5833]

A beautiful home, in those days, wall paper was the style! Up stairs, that was an old clothes line for delicate clothes/under garments! Thank s for sharing! 🇺🇲

[@lorishiversdogmom]

That is a beautiful old house. It's solid enough and in good enough shape to be fixed up and remodeled. Just takes some money that's all. That place needs someone wealthy to fix it up and resell it.

[@Berehynya]

So sad. What a gorgeous house this must have been in its original state.

[@suelabuhn5942]

I would love to restore that house!!

[@cjmcdowell9584]

So pretty ... Someone loved this house

[@seantig479]

Bargeboards, the two-tone masonry on the frieze and simulated quoin stones are all amazing. Someone really had fun choosing wall paper. Thanks for the tour with its moments of suspense. Maybe some wealthy person will see this and restore the farm house to its former glory.

[@ElizabethSagewood]

I grew up in a Victorian home in Newfoundland and I've longed to have one like it ever since. That house actually had 12 foot ceilings and massive big archways. They don't build homes like these anymore.

[@michaelmauerman8413]

So sad that some young people don't appreciate fine thing's

[@RonPaul20082012]

They are used to cellblock apartments.

[@sarahstrong7174]

I am sure some young people would appreciate this place but could they afford It?

[@jestinrobinson5115]

Tim the Tool Man there is an enormous historic homes community on Instagram. I follow some pages with over 100k followers and mine being strictly Michigan homes/buildings/churches has over 6k

[@butifly1989]

Was it the "young people" or the Baby Boom generation who put carpet and vinyl over top of perfectly good hardwood floors?

[@Claralundqvist]

Here in Sweden there’s a big community of young people that’s into “byggnadsvård”. Meaning taking care of old houses using traditional methods and materials.

[@sandhiller49]

This house isn't even very bad off, someone in Canada should absolutely buy it and restore it. It would be gorgeous

[@violetgypsie]

Beautiful house. Maybe someone will see this video and try and buy and restore it. It would make a nice BnB or community house or art gallery.

[@esthershaw7875]

Such a beautiful home wish someone would restore it

[@olgacarreras6595]

I love the farm houses. They're so beautiful

[@robertrowlin9854]

That’ll make a great flip what a beautiful home such a waste to see it go to waste.

[@miss.g-shun-w]

I wish I could afford to purchase and renovate this home and bring it back to its original glory. It's still beautiful and was constructed very well. Great bones and the roof is still solid. So sad to see it unloved!

[@yolandap3319]

It reminds me of a gingerbread house!

[@annetterussell2195]

Love the house and even some of the wall paper

[@ninaa5206]

I love that little white sink! It could be reused in an antique house. Such a beautiful house.
