CRAZY ABANDONED HOUSE *Filled W/ Owners Stuff & Incredible ANTIQUE Piano

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Its vlogs like this that have started me decluttering my place. My kids already know what they want when I go toes up. I think sometimes families (if any) become overwhelmed with the clean out process....maybe some else may have an opinion on this. Your so much more respectful than other explorers I have watched. Tyvm for posting

[@ladyvalhalla7154]

The piano was spectacular. Wish it could be saved. Those doorknobs were awesome too. What a great find🐱

[@PianoHead26]

Square grand piano, from the length of the keyboard is probably 1850's/60's. They stopped producing pianos like this by the early 1900's as the upright because more popular in the home. Might be a original piece to the house since the house is just as old. It is amazing what people will leave behind. They go for a lot of money even in un restored condition. Here is a link for more info about these pianos. (piano tuner/tech here) antiquepianoshop.com/

[@crystalhilliard9656]

actually the piano is original being it was made circa 1889. You can google Vose and Sons and they have a rare old catalog photo and this piano is the pictured there. It is probably worth upwards of $40,000.00 if not more. Just mind boggling to me the beauty and history just left to rot. Truly heartbreaking.

[@tonimurtagh7141]

Strange how the floor around the piano was reasonably clear compared to the rest of the room.Never seen a beautiful piano like that before.Awesome find Kappy

[@michellecrippen3760]

Definitely an elderly person was living there. The first floor bathroom was set up for elderly. Had a shower seat for someone to sit on while bathing. The first bedroom had a pottie chair. So very sad. Like so many have said, we collect stuff through our lives and this is what happens. Seeing these videos has brought me to the realization that I need to start donating or getting rid of things now. Thanks for another great find!! Be safe.

[@susanharrington3136]

You should contact a local historical group. They might be able to get the piano and some of the other rare antiques out and restored. Maybe then our children or grandchildren will get a chance to see such beautiful examples of the past.

Yet another amazing explore! Don't know how you find these hidden gems but I'm so glad you do. In love with the piano with claw feet & the front porch with the beautiful columns . :)

[@jimmyhappysmith204]

Thank you so much for exploring this incredible house. The green jars at the beginning are Depression Era containers. They are labeled with sugar or coffee and when cleaning better not to rub over any painted surface. Yes I suppose the family took what it wanted and quickly looked for money and left. So sad so much valuable items are left behind.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Or maybe there were no family, not that could get there anyway.

Another excellent find Kappy! Thank you for taking us there.

[@puca7908]

Well Kapp, we did it again. I sat down to watch one of your newer videos, than saw an older one I hadn't seen before, only gonna watch that one, then, saw another... Long story short - the kitchen is still dirty, floor un-swept, dishes in the sink, and I've been binge-watching old and newer Urban Exploring videos with Kappy for about 3 hours now! Ya know Kapp, if I keep binging on your videos like this, you'll be investigating my old cluttered house in about 10 years! I so appreciate going on your explores with you! If I were 30-40 years younger, I'd be right there exploring too! LOVE watching your videos!

[@juanitawest976]

Thank you again. I can never comprehend how these beautiful homes are just left to decay. What a beautiful piano. It makes you really wonder what our value is to family. These homes can't com p are to these modern homes. Seems like the younger generation doesn't value these things. These possessions could have been donated to a charity. Very sad to see. I li k e that you take the time with the camera to let us see things without making us dizzy. I am retired and don't know if my carrier charges extra for subscribing . I really enjoy your videos. Love the hardware on the doors and the beautiful woodwork. No comparison to today's so called modern homes.

[@helensteven3235]

[@mikecroaro519]

Great fined. Thanks Kappy. House has been somewhat preserved due to the metal roof. They last so much longer than a shingle roof.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Mike Croaro Absolutely true about the metal roof thanks for watching!

[@barnabyaprobert5159]

Agree, the metal roof is a house lifesaver! A new owner should park an RV out front, rent a dumpster, rake up all that trash on the floors and start rehabing the old girl! Electrical should be completely replaced for safety's sake, plumbing, too for the same reason. Then the fun begins and I'd aim for authenticity as much as possible! Keep the piano!

[@anthonyballard9051]

👍 Another great find Kappy!... Beautiful Pre-Civil War house that's been reasonably preserved thanks to the metal roof, and no vandal graffiti although scattered trashed furniture and fewer broken windows!... 😀

[@JennyBrett]

There are some really beautiful items in here!

[@EllicottCity1]

Sadly happening here in Howard County- sad. Farmers are offered an incredibly generous amount for their property & bam here comes the condos & townhouses. The poor deer among other wildlife are losing more & more. Anyway this was an amazing find~ true gem with lots of cool stuff~ thank you as always Kappy!~ Lisa

What a great find. Oh I would so love to get that place and restore it and everything in it back to it's original glory, especially that piano. Absolutely love that piano. Can just imagine how my Starlight Waltz, The Beautiful Blue Danube and Liebestraume to name a few, would sound on it. Thank you so much for sharing this Kappy!

[@kristy7174]

Such a grand place. It is very salvageable! The piano was beautiful. Did you notice the floor around it was cleared? Love the door knobs and plates. Very cool. At 4:49 you hear a woman's voice and then an orb. I think two more orbs at 5:00 n 11:16 but not totally sure. Great find Kappy! They threw stuff about but no Graffiti! Loved it and thanks for taking me along.

[@dianegreen6635]

Awesome tour. The piano was so ornate. The hardware on the doors was sweet. All those bedrooms...one bathroom. That sucks!!! Thanks kap

[@oldenweery7510]

Two bathrooms: one downstairs, one upstairs. Actually, that's one more than a lot of places had/have. One of my nephews lived in a place with only one--and it was upstairs. Very inconvenient, except at night, when everybody's in the bedrooms. This place looks like it would've been quite cheerful in its happier days and could be again if someone cared enough and was willing (and able!) to invest some bucks in bringing it back to life. Kappy's really good at finding interesting places, isn't he?!

[@dianegreen6635]

[@oldenweery7510]

A lot of my distant relatives in northern Wisconsin had them---and quite a few of them also had a pump standing on the platform atop their wells, even after installing indoor plumbing. Come to think of it, the latter would've been handy at Mom and Dad's retirement cottage when the power went out!

What a peaceful place - I'd luv it if the piano came with it!!! Such a rare treasure. Your comment about relatives coming through and taking the valuables they wanted makes sense, but I really hope it was vandals that trashed it and not them. Shame on whoever - no respect. Would've loved to see what the framed certificate at 9:49 in the last room downstairs was. You should grab a stick before you go in places to clear cobwebs!

[@kristineguetschow9134]

That lattice work on the front porch is pretty, but too many critters always are able to find their way in, especially skunks and raccoons. This house looks familiar; maybe someone else had a.video of it? The kitchen isn’t in too bad of shape. I hate bathrooms right off the kitchen. Nothing as appetizing as eating a meal while someone takes a dump three feet from you. That is a beautiful piano, and that room is also in pretty good shape. Upstairs isn’t in such bad shape either. I think this house is fixable. I am not fond of bedrooms that can only be accessed by going through someone else’s bedroom. All of the old wooden doors look pretty good. What, no turkey buzzards in the attic? I love the songs of the birds when you are outside. This is a great location and a beauty of a house. Thank you for the tour!

[@shereerichmond4833]

Can’t find cool doors like that much anymore. Really a shame people or kids come into abandoned houses n trash them. They have nothing better to do to entertain them selves. Yup this was a good one. ♥️

[@sandraosheasandra0197]

a sweet old house, still can be fixed up. a beautiful piano.

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

I did some research and there are similar pianos selling from seven grand on eBay to 45 grand in specialty antique stores. These were apparently really good pianos, high quality, dependable, very desirable. The hand painting on it makes it more valuable. It's a shame somebody could be contacted so that the heir(s) could be located and the piano saved before vandals find the house. If you did, Kappy, you can get they will, too. You were right, Kappy, this is a very sad house and its story can easily be read. The husband grew ill and his wife took care of him, sleeping in the room adjoining his. A much younger male relative (perhaps their grandson) lived there as well, presumably to help her care for the gentleman. Eventually, he passed away and the lady herself fell ill an, unable to walk, was moved downstairs. More than likely, the younger man remained in the house to care for her. After her death, he ransacked the house, looking for anything valuable. His not destroying things but just tossing them aside indicates that he had an emotional connection to the older couple and their belongings. His leaving their clothes carefully hanging in the closets showed his love and respect for them. Vandals would have done more destruction to everything, just because they could. This young man clearly held deep feelings for that square grand piano. That would explain its being left unharmed, sitting like an island in the sea of trash and unwanted belongings. Likewise, he held the couple's diplomas in reverence. The one hanging on the wall over the piano may be from a school of music, while the ornate one upstairs is more than likely from a college or university. This couple were highly educated and very special to the young man, as evidenced by his caring for them in their final days. I believe that the most poignant piece in the house is that magnificent piano. Though its music is no longer heard, it was clearly loved and it held much sentimental worth for the survivor of this loving couple. Obviously, he was unable to move the piano and may have not wanted to sell it at that time. Perhaps he is no longer living, or it would seem that he would have sold it by now. It is a sad surmise and a sad ending to two loving lives. We can only hope the young man survives and will one day sell or recover that piano and sell the house so that it may know joy once more. Oh, on a brighter note, Kappy, now we know what all those rusted doorknobs and door plates should look like! They should be brightly shining brass finished and beautifully designed. No wonder you love them so!

[@nadinemasteller1089]

Once this was someone's cherished home. The original part of this hose still has a good deal of salvageable wood work and flooring. The piano was awesome but people don't want them now. If the owners had cleared that house out and given stuff to Goodwill, someone could have benefited from their donation and they could have gotten a tax deduction. Then, with a cleared house, if it couldn't be sold the owners could have made money from salvage. Those faceplates on the doorknobs were beautiful and valuable.
