Exploring Abandoned 1970's Family Home - Found Baby Cribs

A family home untouched by time since the late 1990s, the world was different back then and you'll see that in this video. As you enter the home you notice how many belongings are left behind, he home was first built in the 1930s and had the same family living inside until 2001. Evidence of water damage has made the home begin self demolition, but we will be navigating nevertheless. The parents master bedroom is collapsing and filled with vintage cabinets 100+ years old, hand painted European cabinets. There's also evidence of multiple children living inside, a baby and a brother, sister. With how much is left behind it feels like you're heading into a time machine, almost a living museum. if you enjoy leave a thumbs up and comment your favorite part ! and consider subscribing for more exploring videos!

[@user-iamRobinV68]

Upstairs bedroom with that suitcase!!! Love the magazines 😊😊😊

I loved the stain glass in the entertainment center.

The kitchen, I love seeing the old products

[@Faeriethorn]

The kitchen! Love the cherry wallpaper. Still, so sad to see what happened to this home.

[@somersetflower]

I was yelling at you not to walk across the bedroom !!!!! Please please be careful! The cabinet in the kitchen was not a medical cabinet but a kitchen cabinet from the 50's that would have had a fold down front interior middle to use as a worktop. I am in my 60's and we had one !! This before fitted kitchens ! Be safe . Thanks for the explore. Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx

The one good thing about watching a posted video is knowing that you made it out alive. Please be more careful!

Takes me back to see 1970s furniture. I was born in '91 and my family once owned a motel here in Michigan and the rooms were what you'd call "super retro" these days, since they had 70s and 80s decor, but in the 90s, it was just considered a little bit outdated, so it was acceptable. Just a little background: In the mid-2000s, the motel's insurance company, triple A, wanted to downgrade the motel from being considered a 3-star motel, to a 1-star motel, because it was so outdated and needed so much work. So long story short, sold it, it got domolished, and now the land is owned by some hudge fund somewhere with condos on it. It really sucked to watch my family lose a business they had since the 60s in northern michigan, but it is what it is man! All I will say is, it's important to use credit and loans responsibly or it'll drag you into a pit you can't climb back out of.

[@SuTune1]

So fascinating! In such a melancholy way. I can imagine the person loading that Dixie cup holder or hanging up those utensils or mugs, never fathoming that they would never use those things again. It does seem like it used to be a charming, well kept house. Probably a couple, living there since the 1950s, raising their own children, and then perhaps one of their children living with them as an adult with their own child. Thus, still using some of the older toys and records and such. There's GOT to be someone out there who remembers this family and why they never came back for any of their things. The adult children are probably still around somewhere. If I were them I'd be so interested to come back and remember my childhood drinking glasses or whatnot. Unless..... the story took a darker turn and after the grandparents passed away the adult children lived there for awhile and didn't keep it up and let it decay and then abandoned it. Sigh! I love a mystery.

[@bansheexqueen]

The antique green furniture pieces on the second floor are gorgeous!! I love that armoire especially. I would love to go there with some equipment and some people to try and salvage as much as possible.

[@nanetten6238]

Child of the 1970's here. The records, which looked as though they were unopened, were probably in a plastic sleeve which was opened on the right side. This is how you could keep the album cover clean, while still accessing the record. Also, what happened to the Bugs Bunny glass? That is definitely not early Mickey Mouse (AKA Steamboat Willy).

[@imananonymoususer]

I think it's Cubby Bear, but you are correct, definitely not Mickey Mouse

These are the sad ones. A whole family was there and then just gone. Reminds me of going to flea markets and a stall will have picture frames with the pictures of a family still in them. Tragic.

Neat to see all the stuff in there. My great grandmother's house was abandoned for a little while after she passed away. The baby chair was still there that her grandkids used. They were all grown when she passed away.

You could get these cartoon glasses from fast food places like Hardee’s, McDonald’s Burger King. You could collect them by purchasing them each week a new character. It was fun hoping you would get each one before they were gone.

[@Dawn-qq3ci]

Total 70’s kid here and this was so awesome! The World’s Fair clip was a catchy little tune! 😁 When you were looking through the closet and pulled out the blue and white shirt and said “Robbie Brooks” I had to take a screenshot! I yelled out “That’s a Bobbie Brooks shirt!!” I wore that brand in the 80s and 90s and I swear I had same shirt only mine was pink and white. 😆 Crazy trip down memory lane. Yeah, I’m vintage!! 🤣😂😂 Love your channel!! 🤩

Beautiful house 🏡 I was a child in the 1970's and recognized a lot of things in the house. If I had to choose a favourite, Which is hard! I loved the green furniture set💚 Thanks for the video 👍😊

[@ShikiraPressley]

A compilation of 1950s-1990s once-a-life ago... not all that long ago in 2023. Some of the furniture definitely belongs to the post-war era of WW2 yet what treasures that could be salvaged, reconditioned or even put in a museum....a waste of memories for the former inhabitants but a real pleasure for those of us who are fascinated by abandoned belongings ❤❤❤

[@bananapancakes581]

Good god this was beautiful very pretty fabric everywhere and bunch of old crochet and plastic canvas the strawberry is made out of plastic canvas and on the little the hearts has a home thing is probably crocheted or knitted or what I call round knitting It’s the thing that found that has the pengs on it You definitely seen it before a lot of pot holders are made from them All the looney tunes reminds me of my father and mother massive collectors of it My mom would love all the crochet and plastic canvas and I would love all the fabric to remake all kinds of retro / remake Items more cropped and more my style and modern with a retro flar with a whole a lot background story while wearing it The house ver pretty love the purse you found as well and the shoes I could make a whole lot of outfits if I had that kinda stuff and skill I really love seeing the old recycling paper on the side of the cabinet / fridge all the old appliance wear Especially Kenmore appliances reminds me of the old SEARS days which is crazy to me I was born in 2001 we have my dads old home town mall called the De Soto mall here in Florida now it has been re bought by now but it’s still vacant a lot of them had gone through a lot of changes since the 2006 to 2008 crisis here in America which baffles me since I was so young I’m now 22 at the moment Love you alway Amber

The cabinet with the copper lining and the helmeted man on front is a Humidor used for storing cigars. Someone gave me one that I used as a night stand when I was a kid. I always wondered what it was and finally learned what it was and it's use a few years ago.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-ju6hc]

It amazes me how you look at a home now a days and you see people don't have much in terms of values, looking at old abandoned homes like this 1 from back in the day people had more. My home today I can put a piece of everything from home in a bag and bug out if I had to and when I find a hole to squat in I can unpack and have all the creature comforts of home. Back then you didn't bug out you batten down the hatches and fortified the homestead, the property line was you're line in the sand you defended the homestead from all invaders that saught to conquer and hurt you. Back then home was a position worth defending and dying to defend if need be. When you die defending the home everything and everyone in it is 1 of a kind something/someone you will never be able to see or get again when it's gone so you faught like hell to keep it/them together safe in you're home.

Amazing time capsule. Looks like grandma's house, abandoned for 30 years. I think on the Statue of liberty thing, the statue itself is missing and should have been placed on that light bulb.

Weird seeing all those kids records unused. As a child born in the 70s me and my siblings would pull out records to play all the time as kids. Seems like the people out grew the place.

[@SpokaneGirl85]

I'm guessing an elderly couple lived here and they raised kids in this house and then they died and the family left this place abandoned. They tend to hang onto old stuff and they may have held onto kid things for their grand kids.

Beautiful house. Even at first glance it looks nice - from the outside it catches the eye both for its appearance and for its nice green surroundings. Suppose that the technical condition of the house was not the best and it was decided to abandon it. So why was everything left there? We are delighted with it and we are outsiders here - but the owners of all these interesting objects just left them just like that, deciding to start all over again? I am curious about the history of this house and the family living in it.
