Old Abandoned Stone House - Used As A Police Station

This location had high expectations before filming because it was rumored that this was a police station. Complete with cells in the basement. Unfortunately it no longer is or looks like a police station. But not all is lost, as this turned out to be a pretty cool location. We learned some history about it after filming and it was indeed a police station that had a portable cell in the basement. All in all i'm glad we got to document it. Enjoy
Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

Yep to many years of watching fixer upper shows. I was thinking the same thing the house did not have any rain damage. The bones of the house looked good. And the fact you said there use to be an outdoor kitchen this maybe a little older than we think. This is very cool. Thanks for the tour.

[@jojosmojo1414]

The outside stonework on the walls is beautiful. Someone spent a lot of time and love in arranging the colors and shapes.

Radio is a Motorola EC54 made between 1956-1961

[@DVincentW]

I cant find anything when I google the name and model.

[@VanHelsingFreak]

DVincentW check radiomuseum.org

[@acertainshape]

No, that radio is older than that. It reeks late 30s early 40s.

[@VanHelsingFreak]

Hi, from my research the radio is from 1950. Given that some Motorola models look similar the radio is either a model 6F11, 8FM21 or an 8FM21B.

[@tonih7293]

Back in the old days they had chamber pots to use instead of going all the way down stairs, or out to the outhouse. Just saying

[@jafofubar3793]

the Motorola Radio is from about the late 30's early 40's -- i did have a old Zenith Radio kinda like that one and it also had the Turn Table for Records and they are 78's - i still have the old records but not the radio // does seem like this place has several stories to tell from birth to demise - if it was a Police Station - i would say it was more like the headquarters of the department - possible setup as more like interrogation rooms or sections along with keeping records // the outside area looked like it might have been use for a holding pen while getting information // still very interesting to see the different updates to each part of possible usage // home - office of some kind - a motel - Police Station - possible day care center for kids ? ( the oven rack windows lol ) // still a very neat place and the setting is huh ? from front looks its like a old farm house but then pow its got all this hidden structure that is not really seen // also very nice to see you bring others with you on your journeys and teach the respect of getting missed history from different era's that many would not know much about

[@VanHelsingFreak]

The radio is from 1950.

[@bumpy9024]

This stone house/ building could be made into a really cool home!! Loved this location..... was reading the comments on the old radio!! It was precious!! I agree that is was most likely late 30s to the 40s!!! Ok going to watch more of your videos 😃 Take care!!

One of my favorite video, I love the stone walls and if I only have the money to invest on it I would get it fix for a summer rental or 2 bdrm bed and breakfast or a home away from the cty..

[@oldenweery7510]

Motorola goes back a long way, dating to 1928, when the Galvin brothers bought out a comapny that made battery eliminators to be used to run battery-powered things on AC house current. It got its name in 1930, when it brought out a radio that could be installed in cars: Moto for "Motor" and "ola" which was used for many products of that era. They were famous for producing the "Walky-talky" of WWII! The brand is still around today, making lots of electronic products. How's that for longevity! Very interesting structure, just asking to be brought back into useful life. (BTW, the "bar" could also be a common kitchen bar. My best friend's folks installed a wooden one between the kitchen and living room of their apartment, using bar stools instead of tall chairs.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for the info

[@lisawilson7627]

Cool place, happy to see that it hasn't been vandalized. It is a pain in the rear having to walk down stairs to use the bathroom, I know from experience.

I love this quaint little house. Looks like it could be renovated into a unique home ( stone houses may be a common sight " up there " but down here it would be an uncommon jewel .. a real "cutie pie".) Love how it is built into the side of the hill . Thank you for taking us along on this fun explore.

[@VanHelsingFreak]

You're a very honest explorer, JP. If it were me I would have hauled out that radio and got it restored due to its rarity. :)

[@iamnikkinitro]

Love the look of the stone work on the outside. The set up inside is a bit crazy, like you said having to run down two flights of stairs to get to the bathroom. Also that kitchen would be so beautiful. I loved this.

Pepto Bimal Pink is the impression that I get. It's awful the way buildings deteriorate when they are not lived in and worse when any opening allows weather to come in. Thanks for the upload.

[@sueeason275]

With all the need in the world ,mill never understand these abandoned places...beautiful furniture that could be used or restored just left to rot.....the table legs downstairs would be a beautiful restored.....the old radio could be restored....so much waste.

[@madisongreene8853]

That is why I would take a backpack and take some small stuff with me. It's not like you're stealing from anyone. It's abandoned property left to rot and decay. What a terrible waste. People could restore that stuff and make it beautiful again, so why let it rot? I would try to locate the owner of the property and get permission to salvage whatever I could....

[@JennyBrett]

It is gorgeous on the outside! I love stone buildings so much.

[@JPVideos81]

I'm thinking Otis (Mayberry) would have totally loved to chill here after a hard night of drinking. Sadly, this is a bigger jail than the one I have in my small town.😮

[@christinerobinson890]

I put your channel on auto play as I do housework. I can’t watch much, but as I fold laundry I can take a peek. I like the addition of still shot, including the audio of a photosnap! I also love added historical facts right into edited video because I can’t read all the comments.

[@tomrich3398]

Cool video. I'd love to find and fix up something like that as a weekend get away. Those "bars" on the Windows are there to keep small branches and birds from hitting the glass. See a lot of them out in the old wooded areas of So. Carolina and such. Keep up the great vids.

[@JPVideos81]

Plus it had plexiglass windows.

[@tomrich3398]

Lets see. Rock/Stone Walls. Metal Roof. Plexi Windows with Metal screens. Almost sounds like an antique bug out shelter. All it needs is a water well and solar power. Great hunting cabin.

[@EllicottCity1]

Tom Rich - makes sense! I kept thinking that it would be pointless for keeping bugs or people out. Thanks for the info

There's a well about 30ft from the building.

[@guy5823]

A chamber pot was used so you didn’t need to run for a toilet at night. It was common to see them in my earlier years visiting relatives in the rural south.

[@saturdayschild376]

Maybe the cage material on the windows was to protect the glass from things like rocks or bottles being thrown though them. Just a thought.

[@rosemariecomtois2839]

MOTOROLA was forties , fifties. Old set with 4 chairs in basement and table...the thirties , early 40's. The stainless steel tea kettle with black handle 8n basement if from 70's. The identical kettle with copper bottom is sitting on my kitchen stove right now. A gift from my mother. Lol !

[@chelseydeetta2847]

Kinda nice place, the wood table looks good to use yet, even the painted white table is good to use. Too bad left behind. It kinda looked like a walk in basement with the rock walls and upstairs was liveable. Really unique find JP

[@elenaceleste983]

Wow it would need some cleaning and bring back to life the structure is in good shape great find. What town is that? Thanks again guys! ❤ it.

[@emilyg9142]

Somebody had great taste, the design and some of the furniture in that house is really nice. I think it would be easy and fun to renovate that house. It's not real nasty, rotted, and moldy like most abandoned structures. If someone had taken better care of it, they could have made a huge profit from selling it.

[@christinestange4813]

Looks small from the exterior. Larger once inside. Beautiful stonework! The entertainment center ....I'm thinking from the 50's, very early 60's? ....from the 'tubes' inside. Cool explore! ☺

That building is still in good enough condition that it could be restored. Walls look straight and having a good roof yet makes a huge difference when it comes to preserving the building!

That was cool! Love that bar and some of the furniture would be awesome if it could be refinished.

[@MJARTBYDAY]

Wow Motorola use to make Radios? thats awesome info .. I once lived in a house where the bathroom was downstairs and it was an extension of the house to the side of it .. it was a pain to keep going downstairs to the toilet haha .. In UK we have what they call listed buildings. This means that an owner can not change the exterior and i think the interior too. They cant put new pvc windows in or doors and generally don't get knocked down and they try to save the property. Great explore even if there wasn't any signs of any cells as you said they were portable. Peace and love x

[@janwarriner5037]

I had a different opinion on the bldg. don't think it was older than about 1900. Over the years new features were added, fluorescent lighting etc. what struck me most and not mentioned was the Victorian gate leg arm chair/wooden on the ground floor. It was the oldest furniture item there. They dated to about 1890-1920. It was really pretty and under that gaudy paint a solid wood, probably mahogany. Upstairs a wood dresser, plainly built on legs, that was pretty old too. Don't believe the property ever had a dirt floor. I wonder if there was a crawl space or cellar to this bldg. as you left the ground floor to the upper right of front door INSIDEthere were two little boxes that may have been some type of alarm system. INTERESTING EXPLORE.

[@Mnrusty1]

hi i have a few things. how far from a main road is it? if it was an old jail. i would think i could hear traffic? but i heard none. also with the cinder blocks. that either would have been a part they were going to build. or add on to. or they replaced the the stone wall that was already there. i doubt it tho because there would be a drit floor still. as to where its concrete. also the building was built at two different times. which is the split on the outside of the stone wall you can see. so it was built on. but not too much later than it was built tho. so if it was a jail. the part where you walk in the bottom floor. facing the furnace. off to the right. is the coal or wood chute is against that wall. so that part where the chute is would have been where they stored that,. so the insert in the wall would have been an oven. but they put the sink in after it was built. its a beautiful and wonderful piece of history! thanks
