Historic old home built sometime around 1860-1870. Outside of Hertford Connecticut. The house would stay in the same family for nearly a hundred years with a large addition being put on the back in the early 1900’s making it the large house seen today. During the 1960’s after house was sold from the original family it was converted into apartments and then eventually forgotten a few decades later after maintenance and repairs being too costly on the old house . Sadly now going to be torn down. Just glad too have this historic old house documented in pictures and video so it won’t be forgotten totally. Thank you for watching this beautiful old house. Also sorry for not finding out what was behind the plywood on the door. That was a real mystery upstairs! Would love to hear ideas! Like and comment if you enjoyed!

It would have been a nice home back-in-its-day... with probably that back part a addition later to added, but I do not see it as a MANSION. Its floor-to-ceiling height was short for scope of a Victorian to be higher-end and the woodwork was basic for average homes... but decent oak when natural originally. IT IS MISSING high-ceilings and arched entryways also and gotta have a main staircase to showcase a grand entry or room. The TOWER portion is what gives it that "Victorian Mansion" MYSTIC about its exterior.... its interior would have fell short by the rest of the house... Wide planked floors were just quicker to construct vs a intricate hardwood floor to show-off and doorways basic. Upstairs again basic common home look of the era.... THE THIS IS AMAZING? Well, once you see true Victorians and homes that were higher-end.... you know the difference. SORRY MY OPINION FALLS SHORT I GUESS... again... without the Tower it would be seen as just a country home in the woods. Clearly this home is yet savable.... just won't be too long its tower might be lost as leaks are a cancer to old wood quickly and more storms will take its toll.

This house was somebody's pride and joy, and the old growth floorboards upstairs are nothing shy of amazing! I'm betting the tower played double duty being a place to sit and warm your bones on a chilly sunny day, and a bright place for the kids to play on a rainy day. The stained glass above the door is amazing, and should be saved from the next vandals. The 8 pane floor to ceiling windows must have let some refreshing air in on hot summer nights, I'm sure they have all the original glass in them. Thanks Kappy, see you next time!

It started as a very old house maybe circa 1700s, that was renovated during the Victorian period (the tower was added and third floor redone). I think the floor plan may have made some sense at that time. Once the last owners got their hands on it, and turned it into a maze with all the new sheet rock walls, it became unlivable. It looks like they got themselves so confused they accidentally sealed the access to the third floor...what incompetence..

Wow! As for that mystery door the first thing that popped into my mind was The Twilight Zone! You never know! And that window where you paused to watch the rain come down…I could just see a woman standing there gazing out thinking how beautiful the rain was. When I look at houses like this, my brain sees all the potential. Someone (in a perfectly wonderful world) should get a group of investors, carpenters, plumbers, restoration people etc… and rehab what can be rehabbed. The top of the tower could be recreated, trim, interior furnishings like the wood cook stove, tub, wood stove , could be pulled out and either rehabbed or sold, and take the house down to the bare bones. Save for the floors! Make it new again and either sell it for more than anyone could afford or make it a homeless shelter, a health clinic, whatever and start giving back to this world instead of everyone taking everything they possibly can. There are so many filthy rich people who wouldn’t even notice if they parted with a million dollars. But that would never happen so I’ll just keep dreaming! Excellent find Kappy!

Tower portion gives it that must-have-been-a-mansion mystic ... was not a Victorian Mansion vibe once inside. No high-ceilings or arched entryways... no grand staircase and wide-plank floors were just cheaper to build vs more intricate hardwood floors. Upstairs bathroom clearly farmhouse grade by the woodwork. Worth saving.... just was never a Mansion. Large home with a addition yes and probably housed a family with many children.

You have such a lovable personality, so I feel comfortable giving a bit of advice. Sometimes your written words use the adverb “too” rather than “to”. To help you decide if “too” is correct, exchange it with the word “also” or the word “very”. If either of those two words make sense in the sentence, then “too” is correct. Otherwise, “to” is the applicable word. 😊

I loved some of the rooms of this amazing house which I don't think has been abandoned that long judging by the bathroom fitments, spot lights, and the cooker. The original oven was a beast of a thing but interesting to see. I also loved the staircase but it looked like a secondary one to me and I expected a much grander main one, perhaps ripped out in an attempt to modernise? I reckon the staircase to the top floor could have been behind the boarded area of the bathroom, just a thought. And the tower rooms with all those tall windows were just lovely. I really enjoyed this house, something about it, not sure what.

One of your more, if not most, intriguing explores. Some graffitti but not nearly as bad as some places you visited. That stove, the windows, and some of the original woodwork were amazing. The strange layout no doubt was a result of it being carved into apartments. Thanks, Kappy!

Hi Kappy, this old place has a WOW factor! The wide floor boards indicate age. Looks like they added on as the family grew. Wish we knew the history of the original owners, must be vevry interes ting! Thanks Kappy , really enjoyed this one.

You can't get floorboards like that anymore. That was all fresh cut from a sawmill from old growth trees. Water is truly the enemy of wood. Just look at all the water damage in the house. The house is probably beyond repair but the stained-glass windows and the timber flooring would be worth a small fortune to salvage.

Kappy There is a home in Bethel Conn, That is Identical to this home, The only difference is the added on section to the Right of the main House, Its funny the Architect that built these homes , Did a few of them, There,s also one on Osborne st in Danbury Conn. And the Graffiti Is because People of today did not instill appreciation, of anything, In there children, They did not earn anything they have Just given to them, If you don't work Hard for something It means nothing, That's why

Old houses are often very choppy but this one is almost like a maze. I think people did some renovating and added walls. It's not my top favorite but it's certainly on the list. You did it again Kappy!!

To me, part of the charm of old houses is the maze like floor plan. I am not a fan of "open concept," and they don't build them like this any more.

I have to admit that some of the house was wonderful and some was a little confusing. Odd rooms with odd angles. I liked that one wood stove in there. It looks like it might be soapstone around the outside. The house obviously has an attic and more than likely a basement but they must have taken out any access to them. The staircase didn’t match the house at all and looks like a back stairs since it was so curved and kind of narrow for a main staircase. Such a confusing place but some nice features.

I'm happy to have found your channel & looking forward to exploring your videos! Thats such a pretty old house, including the others at the end. It's so sad to see beautiful old homes falling in. I wonder if industry was lost in the area or some other business that supported the community? The countryside is stunning.
