Grandma’s Abandoned Mansion - Explore # 128

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

5:00 That is for your hair. It's an old-fashioned portable hair dryer. 14:15 those shoe molds are called "shoe stays." They would "stay" the leather, vinyl or cloth to the desired shape of the finished shoe. What an interesting place!

[@imgerrydee]

Brent's explores are never boring, fake or pushing ghost or supernatural agendas. It's the real deal with excellent timing, chatting and editing. Always worth the experience.

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Thank you!

[@tinaletay]

100% agree, he is the only one I watch anymore! Literally my favorite way to wide down at the end of the day:)

[@KellyNorman-wu6qr]

​@@tinaletaygreat house I think but you again missed an entry way at 12 minutes 7 second's why didn't you walk over that crap to see where it led you instead your skipping things not trying to be rude or anything it's what I'm seeing that your showing you didn't even walk down it

[@cmiller4171]

Very cool house. If only the walls could talk! Take care and God bless.

[@Liltattyy]

I went there a few weeks ago. Its quite the layout!

[@rpexplorations]

Thanks for the shout-out! I love the quirkyness of this house. I kept thinking it feels like a halfway house or something for single people, somehow not kid friendly but who knows. The outdoor bathroom is great for backyard parties though 😂

[@user-xn5rw4hu4h]

It doesn't seem elderly people friendly either 😂. Definitly hlf way house or rooms to rent for kidless folks

[@annettecorbus5284]

All that place needs is some love and a deep cleaning I'm falling in love with this house ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jo-annmacconnell278]

I think this place is quirky and very interesting. I love different.

[@trishcook7810]

Brent, this is my favorite explore of all time. I hated for the video to end. There was a lot of talent used in the making of this house. All the designs and colors were unique. Must have been made by the first family of recycleables. Perhaps some 9 and 10 yr. old kids were given left over building materials along with hammers and nails and told to go for it. There is enough for a second explore. Thank you for a great video.

[@Wildflower-ue8qm]

My opinion of this massive pad appeared to be several apartments. Every section appeared to have its own living areas, kitchenettes, and bathrooms. It may have at one time been a family home, then switched over to at least 3 apartments. Cool pad, considered it was made of recycled wood, windows, etc. Great explore, once again. Keep up the good work. I enjoy you choose to explore alone. Although it appears to have some danger involved. Especially today as nowhere is really safe. Be careful out there as it could be dangerous!!

[@SuellenHorton]

Yeah, every explore I see-- I'm just waiting for some squatter to jump out with a knife & crazy eyes or some property owner to come barreling in on a truck with a mind set on running transpassers off, lol! Well that's what would happen to me probably... that's why I'm watching him do it instead. 😂

[@tinaletay]

1. I love that you open every fridge. So brave!! 2. Did I just see you wipe your feet before you went in (at 3:00)?? You are quickly becoming one of my favorite humans, one way or the other. To bad you can't cross the border and do an explore in Michigan! You are more than welcome any time!!

[@RB-sy1oz]

Another great explore. It seems like there were to many steps for an old folks home. Definitely a strange layout. It’s a shame you can’t find the backstory. It’s a shame it’s going to be demolished. Can’t wait for your next explore. Thank you Brent!

[@anne-marierowlings1123]

What a truly sad waste of such a really truly beautiful place with so much character and real genuine love gone into it sadly just to be knocked down, soon and then replaced with soul less modern buildings..X a reall crying shame...X

[@jencanadian1971]

This has reminded me of the Winchester House. The shoe moulds were used by cobblers/shoemakers. Great explore. Definitively had a shelter vibe to me. Love the strangeness.❤

[@annettecorbus5284]

So sad they are tearing it down I would live there it's beautiful ❤️❤️

[@ulrikevolke7651]

I fell in love with this house! How can someone destroy something so beautiful? The old lady has no cracks in the walls...a little paint and you're ready to move in. 😍😍

[@valerielove9837]

I agree

[@ohioyodertoter6827]

Ignorance and greed for money 🥲

[@JennyT372]

This was a sweet, homely place in an offbeat sort of way. Obviously loved and cared for at some time even if the layout was rather odd, and probably done on a limited budget, maybe by a charity. I loved it.

[@bsage5514]

Jeezzz! What a jigsaw puzzle this one was! I wonder if the owner was a cobbler since he had all of those shoe stretchers incorporated into the concrete work. I agree this was a VERY interesting find/explore. I didn't think your filming was shaky at all and appreciate your filming and editing of the explores. Your patience while exploring these old homes is commendable. Thanks again Brent for ALL you do and for taking us along!

[@denisewatson5295]

Very nice looking house 🏠. It's a shame that they are going to demolish this. Thanks for sharing 👍 😀 😊.

[@lindaj1957]

Definitely got to say, it's a busy floor plan. Love the landscape.

[@janeblake5083]

This house HAS to have a very strange past, and I'm surprised there hadn't been a flre here , either accidental or purposely set. It would be be very interesting to find out what this place was used for ?? Great explore and thanks for posting this "Mystery House".

[@marcerivest6204]

This is a real good find and explore. There is very little vandalism which is rare today. As weird as it is,it was done with quality.

[@alannachristie6495]

Absolutely awesome! Great find! ❤

[@albertcollins5894]

It's always sad to see a place that has been abandoned and with a claw of a machine it'll be demolished. I liked the lay out of the place it could've been used as a boarding house but my thoughts Brent like yours a shelter specially seeing the photos and alot of cases we don't know where these shelters are for one reason keep people safe. Great exploration look forward to the next.

[@musicnerd72]

One of the oddest buildings I've ever seen! Inside and out!

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

The kitchen area with the pass through window reminds me of the house from the sitcom Mama's Family.

[@lindaberg9960]

Yip, I re-watched this one also😂 Very unusual, they used what tgey had/could get. The colors were attemots to be bright/cheery, windows & light, more of the story may shed some light. "They tried"..... THANKS BRENT, so thankful your explores are always available, day or night. Bless You dear young man ❤ and Be Careful out there. You are Loved, Appreciated, and Much Respected

[@JOSIE19643]

Yep ! I've seen weird houses in my life but this one hits the top of the list. Weird layout...like a maze. Thanks !! Stay safe 👍🇨🇦

[@christinamcintire8375]

Doesn't look like it has been empty for long. Looks pretty clean. Nice house.

[@cindykoehn7680]

What an interesting find. To me it looks to have been a group home or maybe for Rehab? 🤷‍♀️ Other than the tackiness, it’s not in that bad of shape. Even the fridges and stoves were in pretty good shape!

[@tessiewallace3890]

Group home maybe .but most definitely didn't have and building plans when they were working on it..stuff was all over the place..If someone had treated it right it might have served its purpose but it's in pretty bad shape in parts of it. Thanks for the share.. interesting at most..❤

[@Chrisssy2112]

I would call this The Maze Home. Never seen one quite like it. Thank you Brent for the tour 👍

[@Intence1Music]

📽 Another amazing visual done by: Abandoned Urbex Canada, thanks again Brent 👊😎

[@teijaalanko5165]

Neat hom and very good,,i like.🏡🏠🌳🍃🍃🌅Thanks this history.

[@SuperTater2000]

Great video Brent. That sure is a scabbed together structure. It seems like they hurried up and added another addition whenever they ran out of room. I enjoy your videos very much!

[@jelenamanojlovic1008]

Woow what a surprise 🙌 🎉 thank you for this earlier video😁 this house is nice but also very unusual and weird it's a bit confusing,also it is quite clean...Another great adventure with you my favorite explorer you're the best 💪👏 Big greetings and kiss for you from Serbia 🇷🇸❤ Take care and be careful 🤞❤🇨🇦

[@christinebrunton1489]

Oh this is Retro, Vintage to say the least!! Beyond Awesome 😎🇨🇦😊

[@carolmay5168]

We used bonnet hairdryers like the one you found, back in the 60’s and 70’s. I’d love to have one now.

[@sherylhowell5320]

It looks like the architect was an artist of some sort. Very creative.

[@ketoneedoh1844]

Loved this place . Your right about them using anything n everything to put this place together

[@marieagnesbedin760]

It IS weird but fascinating ! Thank you for this video !

[@alextom6953]

I've seen these buildings and it is a group home!

[@maryplatt5763]

He said oh what is this?!lmao so weird for sure! loved it!

[@kariprill8567]

This was so cool!!! So many nooks and crannies, and so cool all at the same time!

[@wendylou8963]

That was a really eclectic building lol i like the shoe forms!! Creative

[@mamanova2657]

Wow that was very very interesting and unique home Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@kristifounds7562]

Fascinating structure, built with character and found objects. I'd agree with group home of some kind. The outside reminds me a bit of a Swiss chalet. Seems like a place that once had lots of love and laughter.

[@deborahsmith7970]

Definitely an interesting explore!! Thank you for sharing! 😊😊

[@henryardoin8513]

I Always look forward to seeing your Explorations " they never disappoint"!👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎✌️💯🤙😊

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Thanks!

[@terrilawson2559]

It would be interesting to see this on the original structure. Beyond eclectic builder

[@kellyngrey4950]

Really interesting explore! Thanks for bringing us along. Cheers!

[@zulmabontiffe487]

I can't think !! That's the craziest house you have explored yet.... I hope you find the information and share it with us .. we are waiting. Get gloves on those hands Trent. A hard hat would be nice too. Your loved.😊

[@ShaunsCentral-Maine]

9:30 Nice wiring job lol 😂

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

I guess that door can’t be used anymore 🤣

[@normanfletcher8332]

Just like you said, 'house is very strange looking'. Still super nice. just sad plans to be demolished. Shame on those developers..

[@trinityreikihealings]

Omg !!! Love It the colors and the wood work 👌 such a time capsule.. why destroy it ??

[@coleen-francis5317]

A right mix of styles and materials , very disjointed with no flow. I love the use of the sea green aqua colour throughout though, someone must have liked that very much. Enjoyable watch Thank you!

[@TheDriveInGuys]

Bizarre. Cobbled together. No rhyme, or reason. Very creative. Very raw / rough-hewn. The cock-eyed, partial door landing at 8:47 looks really DANGEROUS, especially for someone stepping out! Thanks, Brent! Love the way you present your finds! Stay safe, brother! - Dave Lounder (The Drive-In Guys) CT, USA.

[@carolali8851]

If there is a school nearby I'd say they were renting those rooms to students. If it was a group home I doubt there would be so many stoves. It also looks like it got condemned.

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

No school close by

[@cydkriletich6538]

Maybe an older home that was turned into apartments. Not likely a home for elderly cuz of stairs. It’s so chopped up! Parts of the upstairs look as if they were additions and very cobbled together, as if there were no actual plans. The wooden “shoes”are called “lasts” and are used by cobblers to size the shoes they make. Maybe one of the owners was a retired cobbler! Guess there’s a pun there somewhere about the house appearing to be cobbled together! Thanks for the tour.

[@b1k2q34]

Definitely apartments.

[@marthalopez64]

Wow this was beautiful thank you❤.I love this place .

[@tinaletay]

Oh Mah Goodness!!! I think this has got to be my favorite!!!

[@tinaletay]

It's so clean!!!

[@tinaletay]

Although, I think all the twists and turn, nooks and crannies, all the odd...everything, I'd get a headache living there!

[@JohnShinn6078]

Facinating, a grandiose mess! Yes? I don't belive I've ever seen such an erratic lookin house, in and out! I'd probably have some sort of nervous breakdown living in that one! 🤪 Thanks for the tour Brent!! 🤠👍

[@JudithGolding]

You found a Frankenhouse! No wheelchair or handicap accessibility. Just getting someone out of it to an ambulance would be near impossible. Your guess of some sort of sheltered living or rented rooms seems a reasonable guess. Ha, that the second time I have seen an explorer guy momentarily flummoxed by a bonnet hair dryer.

[@kathybrimmer6645]

This place is like a maze...with some strange decor outside..appears to have served a purpose at one time..the redcarpet is a little funky... Thanks for sharing this great video...interesting!

[@christopherbanowetz5081]

Hey Brent! I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now! When I had first seen your videos on my main feed on KZbin, I didn't know that I would be subscribing to your channel or not because some of the other people, in who, do tours of abandoned places were pretty kookie! I am blessed though, to be a part of your adventures! I have seen, in how, you and your channel has grown into something so much better, since I had decided to subscribe! I'm always concerned about you falling through the floor, like with the one house with all of cages! I think that was the one anyways! All that I know, is that the couch had almost fell through the floor! Please be safe out there and may God bless you! Amen. ~ Chris

[@customscreenprinting]

Abandoned Urbex Canada thanks for sharing this with me brent it was a really nice clean place but when you try to look into it it never easy to find out much about it thanks for sharing this video with me about Grandmas Abandoned Mansion - and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless.

[@gwest1955]

Since there were such steep staircases I think it was a shelter for abused women and children - definitely not elderly people. Each living space had a kitchen and areas that could be used as play rooms. Also, the remoteness and overgrown trees indicates seclusion.

[@warmachine2112]

Hey Brent! I just want to say thanks for your content. I'm so happy I discovered your channel and being from Ontario myself this is really cool. I've binge watched every one of your videos, keep up the amazing work brother 👍👏

[@barbaragravely920]

Wow this home is amazing:)So much room for a big family yes i lost count how many bedroom.Who built this is credibly smart in deed. Another best explore Brent thank you for this showcase home.I think this home was for a huge family that kept adding on due to children coming in this world❤❤❣😁🙃😉

[@danadelaplante6797]

Fun explore. Love all the neat fun rooms, windows and groovy construction. Imagining it when people lived among those many rooms.

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

Another beautiful house

[@paisliesplace3921]

What a crazy labyrinth of rooms and stair cases. The shoe molds set in the concrete is really odd and creepy. There are definitely areas in the house that are not code or even close to code. What a crazy house....kind of creepy and cool at the same time.

[@dianakardum6150]

It looks like a shelter, that’s just me. Great video Brett!

[@Denington5]

I believe they rented out the different areas of the house as apartments. Each kitchen area also had a bathroom, a living area, and 1 or 2 bedrooms. I counted 4 kitchens, so I believe 4 apartments. The owners may have decided to add onto the house after retirement as a means of bringing in money. They probably did as much of the work themselves to cut down on coats. Probably why there were uneven floors and odd layouts. Still a really unique old house.

[@suefeige3531]

I think those shoe things are called “lasts” they are what are used to mould shoes around when they are being made. Nice house. Perhaps it was used as a safe house for women who have left their abusive partners.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

That is nuts dood!

[@wrenstarz]

my guess: a Dutch shoe cobler built this home when you used materials that you could find and not necessarily go and buy. the sheds and out buildings were for building and some sort of business. the home was then turned into, like you say, a group home or something that would generate income. just a guess. nice find Brent.

[@TuBiE2504]

What a interesting and unique place, can imagine how it was in its prime could off been many things, grouphome, family home even a rehab, its just amazes me that there are so many places outhere that are abandoned that whe don't even know off, so glad that u take the time and effort to find and explore them for us thanks alot.

[@megmills4798]

Brent pray all is well with you and your loved ones🙂

[@kategulick4781]

This was...interesting. It had a lot of great features though. When you first opened up that box or whatever it was outside I seriously thought that was a dead body in it😳

[@angiescyoc5815]

I like your music themes you use

[@breezeyb3535]

Except for the shoes, I loved a lot about this place. I get the feeling this place wasn't so odd until it was redone in to separate apartments. The top floor reminds me of another place I saw that had some of the same features and was really a cool place.

[@yvonnew5186]

Yeah that place was wild! Interesting.

[@annettecorbus5284]

I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️so sad😥😥😥they are tearing it down

[@conniecouto656]

I was thinking more of a youth center or refugee house seems it would be a difficult place for seniors to get around with all those multi-levels and narrow stairwells. I didn't see and safety rails in the washrooms either, It's a unique place for sure

[@numbnutz9398]

This is like wandering around the Winchester mansion. Just a baffling layout.

This layout is somewhat reminiscent of the Winchester mystery house.

[@mimzyc9949]

Interesting but weird. Makes you wonder who lived there and where are they now. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos, even if they are shaky.

[@b1k2q34]

A bunch of people lived there. Looks like apartments and studios of some kind.

[@sewcrazybaker]

That was a very strange place. A very confusing house in a beautiful setting.

[@cynthialahti-wong1800]

That is a very weirdly put together house!! So many tiny niches and kitchens!!

[@plushypuppy2024]

Hi Brent...really happy to find a brand new video!😀. The layout in this place looks like there were sections for elderly couples rather than singles, not separate apartments as such as it's all a bit open, so my guess is that they had some overseen independence . Crazily interesting though and weirdly designed. I know it's only aesthetics, but the colours in there are so garish!. something's up when I don't want to buy it!🤣🤣🤣.

Fascinating. I would say definitely not an old age home. Too many code violations. At 5:00 that was a womens hair dryer with plastic cap. Thanks Brent.
