#86 Abandoned House Frozen in time. Incredible

[@flpaintman71]

Great Video! Update...from my previous comments... and still way late to this conversation, but I though , it’s Crazy someone or the family walked away from all this family history ...I couldn’t resist but to do a little research here ,on this family. Seems the guy lived in his childhood home most of his life. And indeed both his father and grandfather were Dentists. His Father , who was the Dentist was born in the 1878, and passed away after already being retired in the 1950s, so I’m sure most of that equipment and the teeth were from the turn of the century. If any of the relics came from the Grandfather then you are looking at the 1800’s since the grandfather passed in 1897. The son , and final owner showed up at 29 years of age in the 1940 census , still living at home with his parents. He went off to world war2, came back working as a machinist . I see no records of him having any family living there beyond his mother who had passed away in the early 1960s. The son passed away in 1998, so that house has probably been vacant since then. Sounds like a sad ending , and maybe the reason nobody was left to inherit some of these family possessions by 1998. I would still love to know the build date on that home. Once agin great video by the two of you.

[@amya2780]

Awesome info!

[@jovinchefamily8401]

I'm so amazed how you researched all of that...

[@DeniseTheDreamer]

Great info! Is there a possibly the last owner went into a nursing home in 1995? I'm only curious since the calendar shows 1995.

[@smkosic]

Rick and Becka, I enjoy your show. Some of the unidentifiable objects you have come across (and or mislabeled) are so familiar to me. I have been a abandoned home searcher and antique collector for as long as I can remember. It would greatly help if you and Becky read up on antiques so that you have a general knowledge of all you find. Books are in the library also. I watched a video in which you did not know why there were windows above the doors. These are called “transoms”. Back in the day the transom window would be opened to circulate the air. As we know, heat rises so this would keep the air moving above. The extra room off of the bedroom with windows is called a summer porch. This is where people would sleep during the hottest of nights.. the small kitchen area within the kitchen leading to the dining room is called a butlers pantry. This area was closer to the dining room, which made it easier for the Butler to serve and maintain dinner items without much interaction with family or being away from the dining room for to long. The many small windowed door is called a “French Door”.. The push button light is correct and a separate one would be to call the butler/ maid. Again I love your show! A lot of the colored glass you find is called depression ware. This was made during the war using coke bottles and other bottles and glass.The white vases are milk glass and very collectible. If you have a question about anything you find feel free to call me. If interested in my knowledge, send me your email and I will send you my phone number. Gratis of course. I would love to help you

[@tumbleweeduk7479]

smkosic ThankQ it would be great if Rick and Becka let you view the videos and comment for their soundtrack before releasing onto utube?

[@kimthrower2169]

In the bathroom, I remember my dad had a cup like that with a "brush" to lather on his face for shaving!! WOW!! That thin green towel hanging in the bathroom, I remember back in the day when washing machine detergent boxes has a free towel in it when you bought it!! Does anyone else remember that??? And Breck shampoo, I remember using that!!! LOL LOL, a flask? No Rix, it's a talcum powder container. Used to have powdered toothpaste (my dad always used powdered toothpaste) and foot fungus powder came in flasks like that! And Flex shampoo, I used that as well!! OMG, this is a total time warp!! Oh my goodness, Tinture of Iodine, we called that the "red stuff" back in the day! All I knew about it was that it burned like hell when Mom would put it on our scrapes and stuff!! Jergen's lotion in a glass bottle, my Mom used that exact stuff, I remember seeing the bottle like that!! So cool!!! You two are so cute at how excited you get when finding these treasures!! Keep up the good work Rix and Bekah!! We need some new episodes!! =)

[@barbsnyder3579]

I love watching the two of you in your videos. My husband and I used to explore when we were young but of course there was no KZbin. We still love it, but watch through your eyes as my husband has had 3 back surgeries and neck surgery in last 4 years. We have been married for 44 years. We met each other at 14 years of age. Nice to see how well you you treat each other too. Good luck.

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Thanks very much barb !

[@caniwatch2164]

You're awesome lady.hope all God's best to you and your husband.

[@DirectCurrent4u]

I remember Soap on a Rope was a big think back in the 70's! You went right past it in the video!!! lol Can't believe it was still hanging on the wall. I also remember shopping at Western Auto Parts. It was way better the the auto part stores we have now days...Great video! Thanks for sharing...

[@crystalsmith7002]

Your excitement going though the bottles of stuff in the bathroom was fun to watch.This was a fun house to watch you go though with all the belongings left behind.Thanks for your video and sharing it.you always do a great job.l'm hooked.

[@leehurley8358]

what an amazing place! frozen in time. Weird random things on the walls. Beka you are an awesome camera operator. never quit. I love you guys

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Thanks Lee! I think she's great at it too. :)

[@silverose1209]

I am thinking some of the really old stuff may have been things he collected. Like if I abandoned my house right now, you would find a big stack of 40's and 50's magazines and cookbooks, because I collect them. But I am an 80's baby. The bathroom reminds me of my granddads bathroom. He still has so much old stuff that he has not used in probably 50 years, but it still sits there, because it always has! Great video!

[@tiggermeowth]

I really enjoy your videos because not only you show us in detail everything that you find, but you go the extra mile to explain. I wonder if those jars of shaving cream and the others have expiration dates, that'll give us more or less the time frame from when this house was liveable. This is beyond amazing! I'd be staying hours on end looking at all the antiques from this place. No doubt the person who lived there was definitely a dentist, or a denture technician. Epic finds for sure.

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Glad you can appreciate this place. We wanted to stay longer but then you risk the chance of being busted. We were in town on a main road.

[@nathanroberts3065]

It's abandoned since 1995

[@lindarosesmithmurphy5644]

WOWOWOW a 1980 Sears catalog..!!! I remember when JCPenny had a catalog too..💕👌🏼💕

[@teresaprice9184]

I remember my mom shopping there & ordering from the magazine

[@sassysue6472]

Love those catalogs! I remember them, and ordering my son clothes, Christmas gifts or whatever i needed. Fun to look at them. Things were much higher quality back then.

[@lynngibson634]

I remember for a few Christmases I ordered all my childrens toys and clothes from a Sears catalog. They are now 27 yrs and 29 yrs

[@Fixthings]

you need to slow down and let Bekah do more of the close-ups, she has a great eye

[@BJH862]

The fan in the floor looks so new compared to everything else. I would love to look through those old monthly magazines. They would all have something to say about what the future might hold. I was born in 1944 so much of this looks familiar. It looked like so much of it is covered with mold. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimthrower2169]

I love this one the best so far, all of the cool stuff in there. I was loving the old shampoo bottles, I used to use "Breck Shampoo" and "Flex" shampoo. The big Sears catolog brought back many memories of when I was a kid and would spend hours looking through the catalogue, especially the Christmas catalog!! So glad you guys seem to know where to go and where not to go because of unsafe conditions! Keep up the good work! My husband and I have been married 39 years and we were 16 and 20 when we started dating! Thanks for the awesome work you do!

[@billshroyer9487]

I love your interactions with one another about as much as I enjoy the houses you explore. You have a charming chemistry! Thanks for an interesting explore!

[@annelack8903]

amazing how much personality this house has..I truly appreciate ur hard work to show us this and take us down memory lane...

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

It's an amazing place !

[@charlesdarby9142]

Love to have that antique TV set and give it a new home here in North Carolina and restore it Back in late 1970's and early 80's I used to be a TV service techy in Greenville SC ,..across the street from Bob Jones University off US.HWY 291 NO. Called Al's TV shop in the Lake Forest shopping Center Worked for the Hester family

[@imame1433]

I'm sorry, I laughed at "Sears magazine". That's how us old timers got Christmas gifts, from what we called 'wish-book" :D Toy section of Sears catalog was every kids dream :)

[@agrimonyscrafts2089]

You two find the coolest places. My dad used to use Old Spice and the Bracer for after shaving. He also used the Murine for his eyes. What a great find. Thanks for finding this it brings back some really good memories. God Bless!

[@shelleydawson2435]

1 of the best houses iv seen, i watched it twice . Also, Rick ,your such a gentleman, you and Bekah compliment each other as a couple .

[@cindynicholson7935]

Breck shampoo is from the 70's. We all wanted to be a Breck girl!!!

[@bobbiesbeads9249]

This place is baffling because there's stuff in this house that's from waaaayyy back! And some that's not. I'm 63 & I was surprised at the things in the bathroom like the glass Listerine bottle & the Breck Shampoo. I used it in the early 70's. I think the ppl that lived there must've lived there a very long time. But it still doesn't explain the really old stuff there. I wish we knew the story about the house. But I know it's not always possible to find out. Thanks for the great explore!

[@smkosic]

Bobbie Cotton it would be great if they would take the next step and find out about the people who lived in the homes they visit. Like “Abandoned XL”.

[@yesdear62]

Love watching you two! You take your time and let us see the stuff that's there! Keep it up!

[@Sparose3]

Wow...That was really a good one. Happy to see Bekah filming and you salvaging around.

[@kdalessandro9895]

That was one of the most interesting places you've explored. I watched when you first uploaded this, and it was on my recommended list. I enjoyed it a second time. You could spend hours in that place and still find incredible things.

[@dianerogers1597]

The music you use in your videos is perfect for the places you guys explore. I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy taking the tour with you guys.

[@marilouross6587]

Great piano nice wooden scroll work on the sides. Thanks for the great find🌷🌷🌷

[@LisaSpangenberg]

People from that generation tended to never throw things away. That's why there were so many magazines and old old stuff. Loved all the old books and bathroom products! It looked like it must have been a really nice house at one time.

[@fredzetts95]

I saw a plastic urinal hanging on the back of a door. Possible elderly person or one who may be disabled. Great find guys!

[@joettekimbal9234]

One of the coolest old house finds I have ever seen. Wish I could have been there to see everything.

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Thanks. We want to go back here for sure.

[@RJL738]

What Rick said hit me like a bullet and is one of the things I wonder the most. "If the people could come back, what would they think." I also wonder 'What was this place left like when the owners left for the final time?' and 'What would the owners think of someone exploring their long abandoned and obviously not locked house because they were interesting in the lives of the previous owners for the sake of history?'

[@Wine-or5jx]

There is a video out there videoed by a man who did just that ... he went back to his childhood home that he grew up in because he saw it was abandoned ..... It was so touching ! I can't remember his name but I'm sure if you Googled it it could be found. He had a lot of childhood photo's so he did before and afters. Grab the tissue's, you'll need them .... i did !

[@susanareid9887]

Hey you two! :) This video looked familiar so I went and checked your video list, and you had shown this video a month ago. But it is still interesting! Thank you for your hard work and can't wait to see more. Stay safe!!!!!

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

It's all in one video now. Should we take this one Way ? Accident

[@susanareid9887]

I'm glad you decided to keep it up.

[@chessieframe1730]

SA Reid 9677

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Very nice long explore with lots too see thnx guys loved watching it.

[@sharonlegnon427]

WOW the outside of the house looks better than inside~~~~

[@joanngreen7475]

I admire you bekah for remaining so calm when surrounded by so much chaos

[@granny1694]

You do a great job filming Bekah. I have only started watching your videos recently I love them keep up the good work guys!

[@beverlyfowler5420]

Not into healthcare items more into furniture, design of room and houses. Look at all the shiplap on the walls! Love the house.

[@pinacoloda226]

Don't you love it when you find clues as to who lived in the house back in the day?! TOO COOL!! 👍👍👍

[@colleenhoperue5538]

I have enjoyed seeing all the magazines. Everything is so neat. When I get the tabloids and magazines in the mail I will do a video of them so you guys can see.

[@tilly6973]

I feel BOTH sad and fascinated when I watch these vids as I try and imagine the lives of the people who lived there (and probably often died alone).

[@TheRancher03]

It sure does look like an old man lived there until 1995. I used almost all those things in the bathroom including the shaving mug and brush. Great finds........................

[@joharmon2148]

My dad used lots of those items and the shaving mug and brush too

[@bellebslife6504]

They still sell old spice in the bottle like that. Our friend uses it and requests it for Christmas each year. Love the smell of Old spice and Brut. Old school manly smells.

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Oh I wonder where they sell it at. I haven’t seen any in store.

[@bellebslife6504]

Exploring with Rick & Bekah Walgreens and walmart for sure. they even have gift sets during Christmas.

[@ellengwaltneybales151]

When I was a child we didn't buy our dads electronic gadgets as they do today. There wasn't much to choose from for Christmas gifts. It was either Old Spice, a box of Whitman's Samplers or a carton of cigarettes. Oh, and maybe an ugly tie!

[@Anniem53]

Wow! Watching this video, especially the bathroom, reminded me of when I was a kid. The Old Spice shaving mug and brush, Old Spice After Shave.. my Dad had all that stuff. I loved the scent on him. All of the shampoos I remember. And that TV! We had one a lot like it old black & white picture. Great find.

[@colleenhoperue5538]

Please forgive my multiple comments.Binge watching your channel. I'm just coming back to the channel and many of my other favorites again after finding out who been hacking my channel, and I put a permanent stop to it after perm blocking the person on all forms of social media. Sad to say,it was a family member spying on my social media accounts cause she had ,has nothing better to do I pray for that person. Thanks for letting me share

[@linda2573]

Catching up on your old videos since subscribing....great stuff! Love them all!

[@nannettemueller5672]

I loved it! the Popular Mechanics and the like were beloved by many people (mostly men). They were very informative if you wanted to learn more about mechanical things. My own grandfather (b. c. 1900) built an airplane from scratch using these kinds of magazines. I have a picture of their glider taking of in 1920. My father -in-law had collections of these magazines when they sold their home in the 1980's.

[@msannabell1561]

I remember when all of products were in glass bottles. When I was a kid in the 60s we had a bottle of iodine like that for when we cut or injured. My mother always had had lotion in glass bottles and always Jergins. What? Did he save the teeth that he pulled? I remember when we had flashlights like that. Those old glasses looked a lot like my grandfathers and he was born around 1897. The glasses were probably gotten early 1900s.

[@chrismcwilliams3552]

This is my favorite of your explores so far! So much cool stuff!

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

We like this one too ! Thanks.

[@italiangirl2440]

At 900 that TV has to be from the 60s. Cool finds you guys . I bet that somebody lived here since the early 1900s and lived all their life there and that's why you finding old stuff

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Yeah this is one of our favorites. :)

[@RJL738]

Dentures' is one thing and a special find, but for some reason I am more amazing at the fact that the floor slopes so much that it has come undone from under the wall.

[@Idolmakercat]

My mom had an old iron like that one. It always scorched our clothes. Those did not have the non stick surface.

[@raedeenbartreau2787]

Frankie Tortonesi heard that

[@shirleycoles3652]

Those plates next to the dentist chair.were for taking impressions of peoples mouths, then the impression was set in plaster, then wax, to fit the patients mouths,eventually the false teeth were made.thanks for interesting video.

[@DeborahLong7777]

love old abandoned houses ! Amazing stuff

[@cathycooper3454]

Please get some masks you guys be safe!!!! Catt.🐈 Texas,

[@dynodish]

What an adorable little house! I enjoy the old wallpapers.

[@billz4071]

Did you note that the bottle from "Red Front Drug Store" only had a 5-digit phone number? That dates back LONG ago! We have been 7-digits since the late 50's in most of the country. Some little towns and areas did not upgrade their phone systems to the modern 7-digit type, but that still dates that back in the 50's I'm sure. Great Find!! I do worry about both of you without masks on in the mold and questionable insides of these old houses. After being a first responder for many years, there are all kinds of toxic gases you find in old structures due to the products of mildew, mold and other chemicals emitted from cans and bottles that have opened and leaked out. You two are great, and honestly I worry that you stay safe.

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

That’s awesome about the old drug store bottle. Thanks for your concern.

[@DeniseTheDreamer]

Great find! I had a feeling the home was abandoned in the 90s due to some of the cleaning products in the kitchen. My dad used to use the old spice after shave in the glass bottles. I always admired how the bottles looked on my parents vanity. It fit perfectly on the small shelves. Also I was amazed at the condition that popular science magazine was in! It's the same age as my parents!

[@phoenixman8569]

wow, the old dentist chair, and the glasses pre ww2 Harold Lloyd stuff here, amazing!!!!!

[@OdySlim]

The jacket looks like a Veitnam field jacket. Wait a minute, I feel as if I have been here before. Deja Vu? I am happy to see this one again, Ody

[@timbailey1522]

The silverware would either be marked sterling or 925. I enjoy your videos. I like the way you guys respect and appreciate the history of the places you visit and its contents. Keep up the great work.

[@cindyreynolds4045]

All I can say is AMAZING! Great job guys

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Thank you!

[@RayRayTheExplorer]

Cool find thanks for sharing guys.

[@janfilbeck6376]

Your best so far by and large! I always wonder how these places get so trashy. I can understand an elderly person not able to clean up after themselves but this is beyond that. It's like a relative went thru tossing everything all over then deciding it wasn't worth anything. That dentist chair could be restored and bring in some $$$$$. I just get the mess?!?!?

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

We also thought this one was extremely interesting. One of our favorite places for sure.

[@londonkyguy]

Breaks my heart to see these old pianos destroyed. I am an old upright piano buff.

[@janrybautista7701]

"Don't die." lol sounds like Bobbie Morse and Hunter in Agents of SHIELD. :D

[@veronicahayes2635]

I’m a collector of old canning jars and product jars. Wish y’all would focus longer on the old glass ware and dishes in your videos.

[@ssejarito]

I really enjoy these videos.

[@mscrismg]

Great video guys! Loved this one! Y’all need to get down here to Huntsville sometime! Haven’t seen u in forever!!!! Take care!

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Thanks cris ! We might come that way soon actually. Hoping we’ll be able to. Good to hear from you !

[@giftedandblack494]

AMAZING. THANKS RICK & BEKAH.

[@sheapiland8779]

What an interesting explore! Lots of cool old finds.

[@lindaknight3771]

I rarely comment ..but This is one of your better finds. So interesting! So flad I did not miss this one.

[@PamelaHegedusLadyDiggerinPa]

Neat old place. I love finding the old things left behind. So cool.

[@RJL738]

I like the way Bekah slowly pans up each shelf above the tub slowly, like it is a really tall building, or it has endless shelves.

[@kathleenmalabes7215]

l really enjoy your videos. good stuff.

[@RJL738]

Seeing all that tooth stuff is kinda creepy but that dentist's chair is awesome.

[@rosykatzCATS]

I'm sure they don't believe Orbs are Spirits, but they are & this place has them.

[@samilt13]

I thought it looked familiar. The teeth on the floor were used to make dentures. Tge red container in the bathroom was not a flask, it was a talc powder tin. Ambush by Coty.

[@AylaJoJo]

sarah milton Heehee I remember City :)

[@opalessense7708]

Great explore...love the still shots at the end. Thanks

[@jalorensen]

Wow! Love this house and video. I'd say don't take it down!

[@MusicsInMySoul_7]

I know this is an older video, but as I am a new subscriber I want to say , yea , some of us do want to see the close ups of animal remains LBS 😅🤔 (laughing but serious) thanks you two , love your vids

[@angelaharris4556]

Love the focus on the old products!

[@RJL738]

"A bathroom with lots of stuuuff!" Clearly they are going to savor that bathroom.

[@Fattytube1]

I collect old razors! Looks like a couple injector razors from the 50s and a Gillette adjustable razor from the 70s.

[@kristinakay2367]

This place is absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@marthapernie2205]

Just started watching you. You all do a great job.

[@lindarosesmithmurphy5644]

That must have been an amazing 😉 piano in its time!!! Beautiful just beautiful.. Keep up the great work the both of you do.. Liked and subscribed..😍🙏🏼🤗

[@ExploringwithRickBekah]

Glad you liked. :)

[@lucky5853]

Probably 100 years from now someone will explore our abandoned homes and go : Wow, look, they used to communicate with these things they called IPhones back then !

[@LL-sq8se]

Great video of course!!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Such an awesome house! Love the old piano! :)

[@Gandalf1720]

Great video hope to see a lot more great job man

[@RJL738]

I love retrofuturistic theories.

[@tillietrue9397]

I would say the house was built in the 1940's by the appearance of the outside and the tiles etc. in the bathroom. The big coat is a wool army coat. The chair upstairs, I don't think is a dentist chair, but an antique barber chair.I think he would more likely have been a technician that had a lab in his house and made replacement implants, caps and dentures for dentists. I bet it was left to family, and like many, got what they wanted and abandoned it. Sad...sad. I would have loved to have been left that house.

[@RJL738]

It's not so much it feels like a house it's that it is one of the few places you can feel the mood in.

[@paulaatrujillo]

That is so cool this young couple are amazed by the history in these old places. Didn't even know there channel existed. Lol I would probably collect those old coins. That would help towards the channel.

[@justinmccowan2543]

Looks like a style of house I'd buy!

[@j.t.waterman737]

those glasses are from late 1700s to early 1800s i know cause i have a pair of sunglasses from back then

[@SCBMD2020]

Actually i was thing somewhere around the late 1400s. I have a pair that Columbus brought over in 1492.

[@DOC100]

Awesome find guys! I have a few hundred old Popular Mechanics and Science magazines myself. They always had cool gadgets in artwork on the covers.

[@RJL738]

Red Front Drug Store sounds like one of those locally run drugs stores like Lyn's Drug store that used to be by Martins near South 5th in Nashville. Or Healthmart Pharmacy in Hendersonville.

[@combatgirl38]

Jadite soap holder in the bathroom!! First ever for me! I think this may be my #1 favorite of your finds. I could rescue Everything here!

[@RJL738]

Lol you both, especially Bekah, are excited about toilet paper.

[@Piecemaker1623]

Oh the crochet squares and quilts at 12:50 and quilt at the end with dentist stuff!!

[@beccareul]

Sears put out a catalog, not a magazine. I really enjoyed your video.

[@kimthrower2169]

P.S. I had a good giggle at you for thinking they bought the glass Folger's bottle at Best Buy.... the term "best buy" means it's more economical than say the next size down or whatever!! Or compared to other coffee brands. LOL!! Love you guys, Peace!! Kim ~

[@kimthrower2169]

Just seen you guys realized that it wasn't at Best Buy, but a best buy!! LOL

[@RJL738]

When soup is coated and has mold growing on it it is the ultimate irony.
