I love exploring abandoned places. There was an old shack in the woods that I found about 15 years ago. It belonged to the 98 year old woman who ran a store just up the road but she no longer lived in it. Everything looked like it was frozen in time. Dishes, fiurniture, dolls, blankets. Omg you name it. But when she passed away, her grandchildren ransacked it and took everything. It was so beautiful at one time.

[@johnnymiller6230]

I would love to go into a place like that and straighten it up so it looks like it might have when it was originally abandoned. Get the trash out, vacuum the floors, dust, clean the windows. etc... I guess that's not popular. It might make some good before/after videos.

[@SilentStorm1031]

I agree with you. In all of my years watching abandoned place series, I have observed only 2 explorers who take the time to bring back a few homes back to their original glory. Of course, this is after the hoodlum low life's go inside and dishonor and disrespect property that doesn't belong to them. The majority of explorers I've watched walk over family photos rather than bother picking them up. Then they leave doors and windows opened so the elements and birds can become trapped and the elements further destroy the home. Makes me ill to see these lowly character attitudes.

[@loriepostlewaite162]

Reminds me of the Adam’s family house on the inside but it’s a shame all those photos and personal things are going to ruin like that what a grand place just going to shambles very sad

Very religious man with artifacts throughout this unusual home/hospice. Quite a bit of styles. Looks like updates in different tastes. Would be an exquisite restoration. Good bones!

Even if you were a millionaire, restoring this beautiful home to it's original splendor would bankrupt you. But it would feel so damned good to live in it.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

It is usually spread out over generations, I think...foundation check first, even better a building inspection, roof repair then securing doors and fixing windows. Getting utility systems operating. Clear brush. Then the inside, general cleaning, repair, decor. Landscaping, outdoor living, food garden farm. Good friends, beer and pizza goes a long way. =0)

[@nonyabisness-cg7mf]

It would not surprise me if this was once a church. The specific arch of the windows and the balcony overlooking the main room. That would have been for the choir and a piano or organ. Those closets across the wall were for the choir robes. That main room and the cellar are original. Everything else was an add on later. Did you notice the live edge wood? The ax marks on those big beefy beams too. Very aclectic although it looks like a Tudor from the outside. I believe you mentioned Mr. Smith was going to be clergy of some sort but chose the path of elderly care. All the statues make a lot of sense to me. The law books were very interesting. Old. Perhaps his father and or mother were first generation immigrants. Either dad practiced law or was just interested in it due to being an immigrant. The house likely reminded them of their country. That therm-a-door oven is high end for sure. Someone is mowing the lawn. Lol. Also looks like someone attempted to start renovating. A sad yet inspiring story. Clergy generally devote themselves to God, a life of poverty and helping others. He found his calling. I’m sorry it never came to fruition.

[@christinevalentine9932]

This was a nice tour.

[@Schiltax]

About the heads near the ceiling: Henry the VIII started that little tradition. He wanted all who came to visit to know that he had eyes and ears everywhere so he knew what everyone was saying about him. That's how they got the name "eavesdroppers". This was after his demeanor changed and people had to walk on eggshells around him. Just a wee bit of historical trivia 😊

[@stevenkaskus6173]

That's a major brand of Wall Oven going to say maybe the 1980's era. Thermatronic II BY THERMADOR. But could be mid 1970's but is a higher end Brand of kitchen major Appliance.

[@donnag7667]

Wow… yep. Thermador appliances today are tens of thousands of dollars. Also, I noticed the brief moment the camera panned past the built-in refrigerator. That was probably a SubZero fridge. Not sure if Thermador made built-in refrigerators back in the 70s like SubZero did. And it looked like the refrigerator door had been removed and stacked over to the side. This would have definitely been considered a high-end kitchen decades ago. SAD…

This home is such a unique and beautiful pad. And God bless Mr. Smith for his graciousness and service for our elderly. He was surely a soldier for God. Working for the betterment of humanity rather than joining the ranks of Satans army. May he RIParadise. Ranger Rick, did I hear you say it doesn't matter if you're religious as long as you are a good person? I would like to clarify something. While it is always good to be a decent human being, no doubt. We will ALL one day be accountable for all of our actions. Good works alone do not merit salvation. While Im certainly not religious, (religion alone doesn't even give you salvation) I am a born-again Christian, and according to Gods word, the only way to heaven is to become born again. John 3:3 explicity states Noone can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. If you are a believer, take heed, especially because you never know when your life might be taken. If you weren't born again, eternity would not be a place I would want to be. Something to ponder. Great home, Rick. Thank you for sharing.
