Exploring an abandoned midcentury home minutes before demolition

[@marvin_6669]

I find it quite disgusting that they do not salvage and recycle anything, just destroy and send everything to the landfill. There was a lot of reusable items destroyed.

[@StringerMedia]

They salvaged all the items they could

[@Lilo-A]

You’re so right - so much waste. This is just sad.

[@tallyetshort]

They salvaged everything. except for the lights, fixtures, doors, Lumber (structural), drawers, cabinets w/ hardware, windows, blinds, sinks, shelves, counter tops

[@handymandev03]

​@@StringerMediasuch a shame, that house is better build than most modern ones.

[@melodydawn]

I agree, and that house is absolutely beautiful, what a waste to those who want to demolish it.

[@skeletorment]

That is so sad... Such a nice house too. Proof that people these days have more money than common sense.

[@anthonytheitalian2863]

You’re right all the cabinets can be redone and reuse all the countertops can be reused all doors almost everything in the house can be reuse or just sell it

[@michaelb.8953]

That looks like a pretty nice house to just demolish because someone wants more of a front yard to mow. That furnace, hot water tank, and all the electrical looked modern and updated with many many years of life left in those expensive upgrades just to get plowed under.

[@nvateach1]

unimaginable!!! the waste that the elite wealthy obviously wants to destroy for us not to have anything.

[@eRevere85]

More money then sense

[@Johnketes54]

Unfortunately you just don't get it, Put the property up for sale and a greedy developer will knock down the house and put a 3 or 4 storey block of flats and probably not luxury flat's but budget flats(apartments) 16 apartments (flats) or more enough room for 16 cars and the trash from 16 apartments or a vacant plot of land? I'll take the land, Get much more for the property with more land

[@melvinglick9446]

Some people just have too much money for their own good.

[@AwesomeBlackDude]

These guys should seriously consider my proposal and acquire a comprehensive list of all film studio contacts for their scouting locations and seek an scout manager for payment for filming sites, likes horror, apocalypse, and sci-fi movies. Their impressive catalog of locations could be a lucrative asset, generating substantial revenue. 😅

[@Redneck_Hero]

It was really nice of them to stop what they were doing for a few minutes to let you do a walkthrough and film before it's demolished and forgotten and lost to time

[@tylerpalmer8722]

bet its because they were getting paid by the hour haha!

[@annasibylleehresmann4956]

This was quite an upscale home in its heyday. My guess is that this was built on n the 60s and that the kitchen and other first floor updates are from the 90s. And those updates were pretty high-end for the time. Really makes me sad, as this house was also in very good shape. Demolishing this seems like quite a waste.

[@DLeadVox]

That's a Damm shame to destroy a perfectly good house like that......😢

[@harrymyhero]

It just makes me sick that nothing will be salvaged and re-used

[@billylocklear8827]

I know me to

[@teresah.6696]

This is a beautiful mid-century modern house with some updates on the kitchen...nice house. Love the blue toilet & shower.

[@blkhat117]

(Rich ppl) "Homes are becoming more unafordible as shortages rise." (ALSO Rich ppl ) "Must teardown this perrfectly, up-graded, well-maintained house cus i dont like where it sits."

[@jeannettegrose7097]

How much must they have paid these people, to give up their home. Don't get it.

[@dachicagoan8185]

What sucks is that the owner put a lot of money to update the house

[@jayyoutube8790]

Looked like an older style, but was very well built with quality materials. Because of the crawl spaces, and access panels, I am willing to bet they had an architect draw up the house.. (just a thought) great video, very interesting.

[@joeheid2776]

Some of that furniture has 80's and 90's written all over it.

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

The architecture from 1960s was way ahead of it's time. Beautiful home. Lol when you said the neighbours bought it so not to have a Mcmansion. Kindest thoughts to all and your families and Furbabies from Australia

[@Michd0417]

Really nice home. It could’ve been updated very easily.

[@JakeandElwoodBlues]

What a beautiful house it was. Sad that it is gone now.

[@robertmailhos8159]

That cover is for a exhaust fan for the either the kitchen or bathroom I can't believe that that classic house is being torn down 😡🤬

[@memeruss9896]

It's really sad someone didn't realize the sleek midcentury style of this home and preserve it! I simply don't understand rich people! I am a lover of midcentury style homes and I also don't understand the previous owners making the changes they did to the kitchen, but it still worked I guess. Great video, just sad this house had to come down!

[@shelbyz1974]

The sun room was called a "florida room." It was screened and sometimes on hot nights kids would sleep on that porch for the cool breeze because homes had no central AC.

[@BETH..._...]

Seems so wasteful ... this house had many good years left ... just wow 🙁

[@melissahavens6610]

Beautiful. The stone around the fireplace. Everything is gorgeous. What a shame to knock it down. Thanks for the capture.

[@arlieberry]

i really like this house cant believe they would demolish it kind of like a frank lloyd wright design love the wood window framing too

[@tastravelstheguywhostutters240]

I believe that House 🏠 Could be Fixed Up, not Tore Down, just needs A Upgrade And All, my Brothers and Sisters.

[@rachelbuchan5407]

Interior is quite Frank Lloyd Wright-ish.

[@StringerMedia]

Right!

[@sharksport01]

Yeah right 🙄

[@andrewbrendan1579]

What a sickening waste: the hardwood floors and the built-in bookshelves, tiles and bathroom fixtures, even the hanging light fixtures. The shelves in the office area didn't appear to be built-in but like they could have just been carried out. I hope they were.

[@redneckbryon]

It's definitely being updated. Definitely has some original details, but it's still fairly modern.

[@milkweedsage]

Could have removed so much to donate to Habitat ReStore

[@michellejensen6288]

What a waste. It's a beautiful house.

[@bstory3196]

if this was me i would keep that house use for fam or friends

[@johnwhitley2898]

Not everyone is a "Fan" of Mid Century Modern like some of us! Even though this house/home was "updated", and quite nicely I think, those old '64 MCM Bones were still showing.... and this is my critique against the remodel architect: who ever they were didn't know, or respect that MCM vibe. It's gone now, and the neighbors are enjoying their BIG FRONT YARD! 😠 🙄

[@justinhackstadt6677]

So many family's not able to afford even a 100k home yet the rich just demolish 2 million dollar homes just to get a bigger yard. What a travesty. 😢

[@kinola3206]

That could've been a "flippable" house under other circumstances.

[@luvmyrecords]

That object on the shelf you couldn't identify near the beginning is a cover/grating for an exhaust fan. Too bad the new owners didn't keep it as a guest house or office space. What a waste.

[@pakerman3d]

The living room interior reminds me of a scene in Stanley Kubrick's "A clockwork orange"; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmUg6h4q6x7obM (much violence). It is the same style and time period. Very sad that it was torn down..

[@StringerMedia]

Agreed!

[@Cheyanidexoxo]

Meanwhile people in their 30s cant afford one small house to rent much less buy.

[@GvrnMHardr]

I could have got so much money just for them doors in that house

[@illinoiscarmeets]

First

[@dachicagoan8185]

Its a really nice house for it to have been built in the 60s

[@missholywater]

Reminds me of the last of us

[@SaltyNationalist]

Wow.. What a waste..

[@dismalorb]

It’s absolutely disgusting they opted in to demolish this beautiful home. Wow. Must be nice to have so much money that you’ll just up and decide to tear down a former neighbor’s because you can. It wasn’t a cheap house either from the looks of it. I imagine it didn’t even make a dent in their worth either. Naturally they are free to do it and I am equally free to hate them for doing such a frivolous and stupid thing.

[@DIYtryer]

Rich people be crazy! My friends rented a 70s house that 1st floor def was remodeled in the last 20yrs or so

[@sentotalkacili7407]

from this channel I started to think again. What is the meaning of money? What does luxury mean? There are so many abandoned luxury. houses.

[@Oogie1155]

That house is really nice. I can't imagen the owners of the property near by have any taste because mid-century homes are by far the best.

[@2lazeblue]

I know people that do that, they buy land around them to avoid new neighbors or neighborhoods

[@katiemiller1776]

That is truly a dream home. Such a waste to think it was demolished…

[@Danens-s7m]

Mid century is awesome. Why would you destroy this 😡

[@amandahirschfeld7382]

Sad

[@guyazbell7844]

Why not buy it and keep it as an asset that will outlive the usd. This is a abomination on all levels a fool will soon lose what he has.

[@thisislilraskal]

The TV remote and the bottle of lotion had me dying LOL

[@annmarie1181]

Please tell me you grabbed those tomato plants.

[@Best_.w]

I love your videos, you are so cool , your videos are amazing ❤🎉 great I just discover your channel and I’m French

[@StringerMedia]

Thank you so much!!

[@diegosauda9596]

I am so disappointed its absurd

[@michaelnaretto3409]

At least salvage things that can be.

[@SKF358]

Oddly arranged rooms

[@guyazbell7844]

Only in murika

[@scottrousseau496]

Such a shame.

[@jolenemonaghan2021]

What a waste.

[@gabrielajimenez6508]

a nice home being demoshed ? tell them no I want it in my famaly so I live in it for the rest of my life .

[@vonniek6787]

Why not have habitat for humanity come take appliances and fixtures and tubs ect out? The whole idea of someone just destroying a home just to destroy it is ridiculous. Makes me sick.

[@MSBAND2]

It's sad that someone will buy a house next door to them so they can tear down instead of helping the homeless so pathetic and a waste of resources

[@mud664]

What an absolute disgrace.

[@unclescottie2hottie192]

I’m speechless. We haven’t learn anything about humanity. Hist, people will continue to repeat history.

[@Whitewolf33344]

How sad they don't even recycle anything light fixtures cabinets toilets so many things that can be recycled used. They could donate that stuff to those in need.

[@Whitewolf33344]

Ho sad they're destroying that beautiful timeless home

[@VintageVaughnVehiclces]

All of the comments are right not purposing of the materials a beautiful open floor plan somebody would truly enjoy, and here's the reason why such a thing would happen it's called a blue state of bureaucracy. There's too much of any and everything government in this state and it all has to be funded with property taxes, making the property taxes so insanely High that to tear the house down and have a vacant lot actually makes Financial sense to dodge the bureaucracy of the blue state. Oh we can't get rid of this program or that program you know all those programs the Democrats push through, if the Trojan Horse bills proposed on the senate floor, leads to destruction of a home like this. The property taxes wouldn't be so high if they didn't have so much bureaucracy. It's like having a committee of 20 members who plan on proposals of how to wash guardrails on the interstate that has to be funded hundreds of bureaucratic BS programs that Jack the taxes up so high on each and every structure that they have to be torn down. I'm glad red states have brains and scents not to do stupid crap like that. If you didn't like seeing this house torn down vote for Donald Trump. He ends. Bureaucracy, that Jack's taxes way up that lead to destruction of a home like this because of the property taxes so high if there's a dwelling on top of it.
