[@vernabryant2894]

Twenty five years ago I bought a run down Victorian house and saved it.

[@lorimckellar2787]

Good 4 U!!! Wish more people who can would!!!💜💜💜

[@beneiseoleinmheart5614]

Did it cost you alot to save it?

[@phyllismuench518]

can i see a pic of your house you saved 😊

[@janeleslie4192]

If you could go back 25 years would you do it again?

[@PallaviRai-yc9nt]

What if it was a horror house!?

[@SRay-or3nc]

When they put this place up for sale after the owner died, they put a lot of the stuff that had been piled on the porch inside the house. Older Google Maps photos show the front yard full of junk even a car up on blocks. I couldn't help but think that the original family would have been floored to see this beautiful home basically trashed. I really think that there's a mix of what the original family left in the house and what the new family must have brought in themselves.

[@rebeccagable9629]

Kind of looked like they were hoarders..

[@SpaceJelly7]

where is this house located?

[@mermaid2014]

The house was built with love, but after a certain time, it wasn't maintained due to lack of funds. Chimneys seem to get boarded up not only because of the installation of HVAC; but because often the chimneys crumble after so many years. They need to be repointed occasionally. Your roof is an extremely important part of your house. As soon as water gets in your house, you must rectify the situation ASAP. Whether it's flooding or rain. Roof leaks generally start as small and fixable! "No roof, no house" a roofer told me. If you buy any property, you will need to be prepared for all of life's surprises, good and bad. If you can afford to do so, get multiple inspectors. Seems like they find a lot more wrong; when they're not secretly aligned with the realtor, or the title company. You should really get a survey to make sure your property lines are accurate. It's expensive, but you should really know everything about the house before you sign. Even if you are buying a brand new home, everything should be checked! Home builders can be sloppy. Subcontractors can be worse. There is too much at stake, for you or anyone living in the home. Maintain all your house systems, just like your vehicle, on a maintenance schedule. Find a credit union or bank that has a home equity line of credit. The lowest % you can find. Build this credit line over time so that when you need a new roof, have to fix pipes, replace appliances, you have that line of credit available.

This home is beyond saving. When the last owners bought it, it probably needed repairs and renovation. Just got too much for them probably and was foreclosed

I love that it’s a Victorian house. A bad storm probably hit this home. Beautiful Victorian Home and in the middle of a town. Someone needs to restore this home. It has good bones from 1800’s and somewhat still standing 💯👏🏾

[@sonysohn303]

The woodwork in the doorways 19:01 is called a spandrel. Beautiful millwork done in that home.

[@carolyntullis6971]

My favorite part was the unusually shaped staircase, leading down to the front entryway. That made it both an interesting and pretty staircase.

I went on a tour of a mansion on a former cotton plantation in New Orleans. They told us it was a sign of wealth to have other colors of paint besides white , that's why they use a lot of different colors

[@MoneyMindsetCoach3]

My great grandfather bought a victorian house back in 1900, it was in our family for 70 years, i got to see it again last year after not seeing it for 30 years. I would love to go back inside again, i love that old house😍

[@loriking9088]

I bet the new owners would let you in if you told them the situation

[@tipresource]

Instead of the people’s left behind things I’d like to see the woodwork around doors & windows, wood ceilings in the 1st floor bedroom and closeups of fireplaces. Chandelier at the beginning is 90’s era

[@tonycorente7304]

Yes yes yes

[@1927su]

Those old chairs are called “ wing chairs” & are more upper crust if you will, still common in more stately homes

[@tonycorente7304]

Thank you for pointing that our😊

[@elinderfler9358]

I love them!

[@juliablack1244]

Those particular chair are 80's budget quaility. True wing back chairs will have more quality wood trim and better upholstery fabric

[@joyshuman7780]

This is a Victorian home but with 80's,90's furniture. Some are 1930s bedroom suites. I believe this is a 2 family duplex. Upstairs was a storm door in the hallway. I grew up in a Victorian home, and most walls are white. This family chose those outrageous colors. Its grandeur has been lost for years. It's a shame. Especially in the South. The folks can't take care of old homes, and the termites and nature take over.

[@rebacrow5604]

I have watched many people show abonament houses but u are the best. I watch your videos all the time. Be blessed

[@cher3692]

I cant believe they left all that beautiful furniture behind! Id love to have a lot of it!

[@denisseavila9083]

What kills me the most - more than the home itself wasting away, are the family photos! These are very precious & should be w/the family! Hopefully, they could find their way back to them someday! 😢

[@geod3589]

I just love those Victorian houses. Looks like the inside has been tossed for some reason. Many years ago a friend of mine and I discovered an abandoned home sort of like this one. We went inside, poked around. The closets were full of men's clothing; many 3-pc suits, most were herringbone, some were double breasted suits. Looks like something from the 1920's. I went upstairs and when I started to walk across the room, I felt the floor sag slightly so I immediately turned around and went back downstairs. We found an old ledger from a general store, the last entry was in 1861. We were very amused at the prices and how they kept the record of what was bought. I swear whoever wrote in that ledger had the most beautiful, exquisite handwriting I've ever seen. The ink was brown, perhaps it was originally blue but turned brown and the pages had yellowed but still in good shape. I felt a connect of some sort with whoever made the entries as I held that ledger. As we left, we discovered something odd, and that was a live rooster in a burlap bag in the back yard. Poor thing had been in the small sack so long that it could not extend it's legs to stand up. It never made a sound and we ended up just leaving it there, freed from that sack. Pretty cruel of someone to do that but we knew others had been to the house but didn't know when.

[@cathyreardon8979]

Sorry to hear about your son n -law. I pray for extra comfort for your daughter and her 6 children in the days, weeks, and moths ahead. 🙏

[@Yt-user65000]

I would love to live in an old Victorian, but the hidden repair costs waiting to be uncovered would give anyone nightmares

[@FreshMadeRugs]

i wonder does anyone from the family sees these. id love to know why they had to leave everything so abruptly. awesome video

[@AllieTrott]

I just posted the same question 😊 Ir would be interesting to know their reaction from seeing their own home.

[@corawright7279]

The only thing I can think of is 1 . Someone that paid the bills died. 2. They were evicted 3. It’s extremely haunted and they just got out as quickly as possible. 4. Something horrible happened there and they didn’t want to stay there or to be reminded by the items in the house. 5. They won the lottery and left all the stuff behind and bought everything new 😂

[@FreshMadeRugs]

@@AllieTrott right! i wonder how they would feel randomly coming across this video

[@AllieTrott]

​@TheWoowoo09 Yea, but I guess we are not allowed to ask that question unless I download another app that I would never use again. That is a great way to treat your subscribers. I feel so special now...NOT!

[@annawallace3264]

why doesn’t the Town step in and do something about this vacant house?

[@martymattoon7231]

I agree that multiple families possibly lived there. Would be great to dig deeper into the last people that lived there. How did they make a living? Does the bank own this property now? Alot of questions come to mind. I am surprised contents of house,I would think an estate sale wasn't done?

[@beneiseoleinmheart5614]

Yes! left us very confused! I almost unsubscribed.

[@vondawroten7036]

What a shame, looks like the last owners trashed and neglected this old once beautiful home!

[@LovelyWeirdo17]

On the fireplace, you’re probably right about it being because of getting central heating, in a lot of old homes that used to rely on fireplaces for the main source of heat, once they get central heating if the fireplace isn’t used regularly they will close them off to warm or cool are escaping and help regulate the temperature of the house. And on the baskets, a lot of older women, especially southern women, like to collect baskets, they’re not necessarily Easter baskets

[@stevevorva2215]

The reason that all that stuff is left in that home is because the people skipped out on the house payment and couldn’t take all the big stuff. All they could take was what’s in the vehicles. They had two cars or two trucks no big ones didn’t want to attract any attention. They packed up very little and skipped out on the payment of the house, if you would check, the house would probably be costing more than what it was actually worth

[@Kimerly_7151]

Microwave is creepy….ghosts? At least there wasn’t a dead body in the fridge.

[@JoeV-k5r]

@@originaloldfashionedtarot of course it can be restored but you would to have very deep pockets

[@myobmyob2215]

You need a carpenter during the life of a house that can duplicate and create custom pieces to keep the period as well as a hardware boneyard for the trim. Renovating is difficult, time consuming and expensive if the house is in too much disrepair and so out of code it's dangerous. Hard to get insurance as it is, this would be almost impossible. No ins=no mortgage.. Have watched several people buy and try to restore and ultimately give up.

[@rlnstn9300]

[@s.c.7362]

Who's been paying the electric bill?!?! And how do these places get so messy?! That HAS to be from ransacking. I don't think the family was living in that clutter, all the dishes in the cabinets knocked over, etc. Just amazing. Can you take things out of these homes and salvage them? Or donate them? All those books and clothing? Do you find out who owns these properties before going in? In Oklahoma, as you may know, we have a sort of finders keepers law that let's you claim oroperty that is abandoned for a certain length of time.

Some of that furniture looked original to the house. Very sad to see it falling apart. I wonder was it a structural issue or they got sold a home with some bad issues and were unaware. Looks like multiple generations of the current family lived there. That house is going to cave in. Very sad. That electricity being on, I would think, would be a hazard. Back in the day it was probably breathtaking.

[@s.c.7362]

Why do people leave these homes and leave everything behind??? Why don't families come in and empty out the possessions? Or even the county? My guess, from the looks of this house, is that the residents were unexpectedly arrested and put in jail and that's why everything is left behind. Parents were probably too old to empty out the house and relatives probably either didn't have the keys or just didn't need anything in it, so it was all just abandoned.

[@gentillydanny]

These old houses are probably still on fuse boxes and they pulled the fuses for the dangerous parts.

Wow thanks for sharing! If it’s national Historical why is it left like this? So crazy sad.

[@janedoyle8411]

Thanks for the link Ashley. I was able to do a little more research from this hint. Sydney McMillan built the house in 1890. He was a store owner of the W.W. George Building located at 110-112 Main St. He also grew Tobacco and cotton. He died in 1931, his wife Sue died in 1953. Their son Norman played professional baseball for a few major league teams. There are pictures of him on line. The house was owned by his daughter for a while but it looks like it was sold to the Lytch family. As he said, there is not much known from that point. Hopefully, with Mr. McMillan’s long standing town history and the house being on the national, registry, this house might be saved.

The most recent owner seems to have brought more or less modern furniture. There are still a lot of nice old antiques. I'd guess that many old items were left for the new owners. Best way to create cash is load some of those anitques in a big truck and go west or northwest. Sell there as the market is better.
