Built in 1828 by Quaker masons up north, beautiful scenic setting with a carriage house and large barn. One of my favorite parts was probably the spring house out front with a small pond. Very easy too imagine the house back in the day. Was actually last lived in the late 90’s too early 2000’s.
Here’s my video I did on this house a few years ago check it out if you’d like too compare- • Beautiful ABANDONED Ma...

Kappy, this isn't simply exploring an abandoned house but a documentary about a Quaker house and outbuilding complex. You have documented so much detail and history. I wonder if the house started out a lot smaller and was added onto over the years. I noticed that the house is essentially only one room deep, a series of rooms with no corridors. I wouldn't be surprised if this house provided shelter for fugitive slaves who were fleeing to Canada and aided by the Underground Railroad. I never thought i would use the word "spectacular" to describe a barn but it IS spectacular. Kappy, this video isn't just entertaining but historically important. Thank you for the time and work that went into this and for sharing it with us here on You Tube.

It really breaks my heart when I see these very old houses just abandoned and left to die. I find so much beauty in them. You look at the wood and know how old it is and could be reused on another house being restored. Same with the stone the house I’d made of or possibly fixtures, doors, etc. There is so much fun n these places that could help another. I don’t understand why these old houses have been left behind yet nothing has been done with the land. Who owns these houses? So many questions. I get so furious when kids go into these old houses and spray paint and destroy things. No respect. You are so sweet with your girlfriend❤️ And it is cool that you take me to houses I would never see. So I thank you.

Great that you make return visits when possible, Kappy, to show just how swiftly these old wonders can fail. Thank for going to all that trouble and for linking the new to the old videos. I always take the time to watch the early ones and then the later. It's interesting and it helps to understand how the house looked long, long ago. It's odd that the only mirrors were in the attics, with those beautiful arched windows. A springhouse was built of stone over an existing natural spring. Its purpose was to keep perishable foods and liquids cool. Containers were placed into channels cut or built in the rock around the walls. Butter would have been wrapped in cloth and put into a container before being submerged in the water which was usually about 68 degrees, much cooler than outside. Shelves would have been placed for things not needing to get wet, like meats, while pegs were for hanging bunches of vegetables and herbs or bags of things like fruit. The water was allowed to escape periodically, or it grew warm and would thwart the springhouse's purpose. Sometimes, live fish would be placed into the overflow pond until they were needed and watercress was often grown in the chilled pools, as well. It would have been a great place to cool off for a minute or a hot, summer day. Thanks for a great video. It is so much fun to imagine that you live in that house back then. As much as I don't want to see this old beauty after it was defaced or defiled, if you can film it, I can watch it, Kappy, so let's go! This time, the house seems sad somehow. The stone is still as beautiful as it was, though, even with the plaster falling. It won't be long before this ceiling starts to fall. I guess I was thinking about the wagon wheel last time, but I don't remember the old chicken shipping crate in the corner of the built-on porch. I do remember the little elegant touches all through the house, like the double French doors. Such a Victorian addition. I'd have enjoyed seeing this bathroom as it was a long time ago. This house is a lot messier and more distressed than last time. The curved wall is wonderfully designed. Wonder what the tiny cupboards are for. I love the reflections of Ruby and you in that old mirror. Sweet! That turret explains the curved walls. Nice doorknob! Time has not been kind to this house at all! It looked so much better before! The pine cones were probably brought in by squirrels. That's an old hedge trimmer. The decay down here in the basement is simply amazing! That looks like it might have been a well, with that massive ceiling stone. It appears that it was filled in, though. May have run dry. Looks like the spring in the springhouse ran dry, maybe when the well did. I could have sworn that there was water in the cooling channels last time. Man, Ruby's the perfect girl for you, Kappy! She's a natural born explorer and not afraid of much! What a girl! Imagine the buggies that were kept in that carriage house! It's a shame you couldn't get upstairs. Makes me really wonder what was up there. How many stalls were there in this barn? They had to have a lot of horses back then, to help with the farming, transportation, nearly everything. Imagine climbing those ladders! These barns stored hay and grain, not just providing housing for the animals. Winters here were cold and long. Thanks so much for revisiting this house, Kappy. It was most enjoyable and interesting. Liked seeing Ruby's face, too, and hearing her comments.

What an amazing house. So many bits left over from the years giving clues to how it was originally used. Quakers were pretty plain people so the turret was prob added. The basement and outbuildings were terrific. No wonder you wanted to revisit. I used to work in an old building with a slate roof. The shingles would occasionally fall off and hit the sidewalk. Awesome, awesome explore! Stay safe you two. ❤️

The wood above the barn door must have been a transom so the door slid. That barn! What can one say but wow? What a great visual; of horses and carriage in the road.

Kappy, The pipes in the turret were placed to capture rainwater. The purpose of the rainwater at that moment in time was for bathing, dish and clothes washing. Chances are there was a barrel in either the turret or on the lower level to hold the rainwater until it was actually needed for the aforementioned tasks. Hope this helps. I remember your earlier edition from years ago, when the home was in much better condition. Obviously, there has been a person(s) lifting items of antiquity from the home. Thankful for you guys! I do love the antiquities as I studied quite a bit before and after the Civil War; it peaks my curiosity to research your finds even more. Just ask and I will know where to go!

They needed all of that space to store it all over the months until the next harvest. Plus some farm hands slept in the loft space above the animals. This place was really something.

Cannot believe there are still 6 over 6 windows intact. Pennsylvania used to be known as the Quaker State. William Penn, Penn's Woods, was the owner of the property that became Pennsylvania. He was a Quaker. My memory maybe faulty but this is what I remember from grade school. Beautiful stone work. Just an amazing place. States that had an impact on our country should make it possible to restore these places.

Incredible house. I enjoy seeing streamer trunks as they were once considered as ones luggage back in the day. Neat explore! I’ll have to check your older video of this place and do some comparisons. I enjoy seeing hardware 1800’s and beyond. Thanks Kappy 👍😊

Huge place! Have to admit, the basement here was right creepy. Clint said it was like a torture chamber when he saw the hooks in the ceiling, lol! And what a ginormous barn! Oh, the parties it would host if only.... The little turret room was a curious thing, with the pipes? Like some weird shower or something. And I have to say, that despite a mean comment from one viewer, I think your chica Ruby should find her voice a bit more. The last couple of videos she was nearly silent and I think most of your viewers would appreciate her input here and there. Thanks for revisiting the place for us, Kappy! It would be so cool if you did a few revisits and found one that had been totally restored! Take care and Merry Christmas!

The hooks were for hanging sides of meat & the cupboard on the wall near them withe fine mesh on the front is a meat-safe, for keeping insects off your meat.

The top floors of some old houses used to have water storage tanks in them to use for cleaning and laundry. Perhaps that's what was in the turret room. I see pipes that could be water pipes.

How people who have money could let such an estate be neglected in this way. The Quaker's really knew how to build, they held a passion for it. I can't help but feel a great sadness that life around this place goes on as if it isn't even there. Really and truly it irritates me greatly. Thanks Kappy for allowing us to see it once more.🙏

Comments like yours always puzzle me. Do you really have no concept how families and homeownership evolve over the decades? People get sick, fortunes get spent, families split up, children move away, people die or move to nursing homes. Any combination of these kind of circumstances could result in a home falling into disrepair or abandonment. It's how life goes, and your irritated. Actually, your clueless.

@@aspensulphate Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder... I'm saying why are these places left to rot when they could be used to house homeless and more. The truth is the "System" was designed to fail the middle and lower class over decades of brainwashing. It's not always for the reasons you stated, a higher number realistically caused by inflated interest rates, job loss, inflation, the value of the dollar and much more. Clueless I don't think so but you have your opinion.

This was my favorite of all the houses I've watched you explore. Truly a splendid old house and I would love to take on restoration if I could. That stone is incredibly solid and would last hundreds of years more if it was restored. Will anyway, actually. The inside might rot away but the walls will still be standing. You didn't show the barn last time. It's FANTASTIC.

🐾🐾 18:20 The opening in the wall with the slab of rock as the header along with the opening in the floor is a cistern. So glad you went back to film “And Two Years Later…” I adore this house. It’s spacious - a sense of freedom and ease in the design.

For years the sign outside read.... George Washington never slept here.... as a joke because anywhere he stopped Pennsylvania put up a sign. The property is for sale with plans already approved to knock down. Next door was a massive greenhouse complex that was abandoned for my whole life ,now 55 and over community, and more then likely this will be some more housing.
