(Sad) They Never Returned To This House | Abandoned House and Abandoned General Store

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I was a bit off on this exploration, so bear with me folks. I guess the shock of seeing this once, not so long ago, beautiful house having suffered the usual fate of time shook me up a bit. Or maybe it was the uneasy feeling I felt there. It’s such a tragic tale of why this home is abandoned, and I almost felt I was invading a tomb. Either way I am glad I at least got it on video and preserved in some way.

Both of these places would be great for metal detecting.. thanks for sharing ..

[@Mari-B]

I can understand what you meant because I felt the sadness while viewing it too.😢

A better way to have honored the memory of the family would have been to allow another family to buy and preserve it

[@francismuiruri9064]

Those are my thoughts too and donated the money.

[@JenaTuckerAquariums]

Yes I agree!! How sad that the house died when the couple died. I think if the couple knew their house was left to rot they would be sad ☹️

[@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage]

Homes don't like not being lived in. They go to decay more quickly it seems

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Lots of people don't want to live in a house with a sad story

[@karlawhitson1075]

It breaks my heart to see beautiful homes and other cool older buildings being abandoned and left to rot. It's losing part of history or someone's heritage.

[@jaynebrown693]

Karla Whitson I totally agree with you. It is so sad, I look at them and try to imagine what the home was like when it was busy with family. I love old homes.

[@nikolaide8762]

Growing up passing this home, it was my dream home. All my life I said when I became an adult I wanted to buy it. I became an adult and it was listed for sale!!! It needed massive work. Not long after it was listed for sale the roof completely caved in!!!! My heart was broke and I know I will never recover. I am completely drawn to this house, it calls my soul.

[@adolfiehillarious6076]

If you feel that way, you should fix it! There are many old structures in just as bad and even worser shape than this, being renovated now everyday! With every passing day, these old structures are another day older and closer to non-existsnce, in another 20 years you will look back in disgust without the oportunity you do have at the present to reclaim, it's this stalling, putting off till tomorrow what COULD BE DONE TODAY, that got this place in such disrepair to start with, so I'm sure if, as you say, this home speaks from your soul, make no mistake about it, when you hear it say fix-me, be thankful for the chance to sodo, as it won't continue to present itself in such a state of desparation as it has up till now, no, that fate of time, is listing also, even if, by default! Put it back, while you still can!

[@johnwick4257]

"I am completely drawn to this house, it calls my soul". I know exactly of what you speak. Maybe, just maybe, you will be in your's one day, and I in mine..... in all their former glory. (fist bumping you across the miles) Blessings.

[@GlennaVan]

@@adolfiehillarious6076 Renovated is not exactly a good description, rebuilt with original materials is more like it. Locally, we have rebuilt Fort Vancouver. All buildings were built as they were originally, on original footprints and with the same type of tools. Read: No power tools! We were lucky enough that when our boys were growing up, the work was going on and our sons got to see some of that construction which was fascinating! It took much more time, but everything is authentic in its structure.

Without constant maintenance, Nature always takes back her own. Thank you for bring these beautiful memories to KZbin. Love this channel!

[@OZARKMEL]

Even in it's decay these abandoned and lonely buildings have a beauty all their own. By filming them and preserving them that way you are honoring them. Thank you, great video.

I have always said, when no one lives in a house, the house just dies.

[@annacribbs4142]

That's so true.😥😢

[@marizaneutzling3198]

Acho que ficam tristes e morrem também.

[@Queenie_78]

Because it gets hot and cold and there's no heat going through and it just decays and wildlife and nature take it over.

[@jamespotter936]

@@Queenie_78 I think it's more spiritual than that. More like the soul of the person living there keeps the house alive.

Such a sad story. The family probably had lots of loving and fond memories in it.

It would be great if you could get a old photo of how it looked back in its day 😊

Another sunny day, another Georgia dirt road. Thank you Robert and Brian for taking us along. I bet that house was a beauty at one time👍

[@superannieoakley4513]

Truly a sad story abt the family's untimely death while on vacation. I can't imagine them wanting their beloved home to fall into such despair. I personally would want others to live there & enjoy it as much as I did. Such a sad waste

[@shoanblevins922]

Sad, nice house too. Kind of feel sorry for the house, family died, and no one else to love it, and make memories there.

[@stephanieklemm6477]

Thank you for the video. I miss the South so much grew up in Florida. I miss the old houses, building's and walking the old telephone lines. I treasure those memories. I live in Southern California now. They dont have the beauty you have.

This is such a tragic story of the abandoned society you remembered long time ago. Thanks for sharing this. Sure means a lot to you as it is for me . God bless 😇 you and, more power and prosperity for your next adventure.

[@daveh9521]

Love these videos. I'm 66 today, and this tragic home as well as the old store remind me so much of the many lost and abandoned old houses, sheds and farms my friends and I explored as children, back when our NJ town was much more rural.

[@tangie777uk]

What a sad story, would have been a beautiful place to live I would think. So tragic. Thank you Robert

So if the family allowed it to sit, who pays the taxes on the property?

[@robinscarborough8272]

I can relate to being shocked after seeing a home you knew as a child looking just the opposite of what you remember. I lived in an old farm house for ten years and moved away in mid 90s. When I returned to visit friends recently I went by the old farm house and was heartbroken to see the disrepair of a once beautiful German-style home going down from neglect. Nothing stays golden.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

Hell of a way to honor a loved one. When i pass i want my kid to sell my house and enjoy the money.

[@debracadman4212]

Hello Robert, wow this house would have been so beautiful, it's seems pretty big. And the old store near the road, what an amazing pair of buildings you found from your childhood. And the area looks like it would babe been beautiful to live in. I would have loved to have seen the home when is was still being used. Thank You so much for this video Robert, keep the videos coming please, it is so interesting to this Australian. Bye from Debra.

Thank you so much for giving the history of this place. It gives so much more meaning to these kind of videos.

So sad in so many ways; the house and it's history is all going to be gone in the near future. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha! And thank you for sharing this sad, but interesting story! I find this video especially interesting because last semester,I was going to make a video for my college media class about our visitors in Hawaii, & how (for some odd reason), when they are DRIVING on vacation in Hawaii, a lot of the time, they DON'T obey our traffic laws. I know that a lot of them believe that they are somehow "immune" from getting tickets, etc. So many visitors go to luaus, or just lay out on the beach drinking all day, they then get in their car & drive(after drinking), or they go swimming in the ocean & drown, because they're not used to the wave action, & occaisonal undertows/ inebriated swimming(just since Jan, 2019, eleven souls have drowned on my island). No, I'm not saying those folks that owned that home did anything out of the ordinary, it could have just been an accident. But, about 9 times out of 10, (and even just today while I was coming home in traffic, a jeep full of tourists was speeding & weaving in & out of traffic,), the visitors are usually the cause of fatal accidents here. I think a sign should be at the baggage claims/rental car companies reminding people that we are a state of the union, & they must obey our traffic laws...P.S. I wonder if that place is haunted? Perfect circumstances for a haunted house! Too bad its all fallen in, looks like it was once a very nice home.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Wow!

[@sherladixon2842]

Thank you for sharing . So sad to see how these homes aren’t kept up. This reminds me a lot of the old buildings I used to see where my dad grew up in south GA.

[@lindastansell37]

I always heard the side porch like area thats roofed was for plp that drove horse and buggy. They could pull up there and not get wet if it was raining. Good video

[@MM0SDK]

This is so sad. I did try some Google search terms to find out more on this story, but with the internet not around those days, it's less likely to be mentioned anywhere. Who knows, maybe it will now with more coming to light now you've covered their story.

How sad :( Interesting video. Good job guys. Thank-you for sharing :)

[@jaytay8637]

Strange that Americans love to come to Europe or here to the UK to enjoy the history but in the U.S.A places like this are allowed to fall into ruin, their stories forgotten. Thankfully there are people like these guys who treasure and record what they find, Thankyou Sidestep.

[@JamesPollMaine59]

Was the house ever on the market? Someone must own it. I wonder if the owners would have wanted their beloved home decaying rather restored and filled with love and joy?

[@nikolaide8762]

Yes. a few years back it was listed for sale. The roof caved in right after and the for sale sign disappeared. I live near it.

[@pooperscooper9176]

[@daughterofkingjesus7350]

That's a very sad story. But I can see why the family that was left behind wouldn't want to live there any more. All the love that was shared in that house was gone forever. And no amount of money or friends could help restore what was lost. Too many heart aches on that old country road.

Leaving the house abandoned is a horrible way to supposedly honor the family that died a real tribute would have been to sell it and let people who love it restore it and create new memories in the house making it a home again!

[@Will-Parr]

[@karenkozak2068]

I wonder if there are any historical photos of the house and store? Great video. Very sad to hear their story.

[@johnb7889]

It saddens me how little we regard our history. If we did our best to preserve our heritage maybe we would be less prone to take things like hot and cold running water, washers, driers, refrigerators and ice cubes for granted! We have come such a long way. We must never forget to thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed is with, as undeserving as we are!

Such a sad story. It reminds me that my Dad never got to see my childhood home after he was taken away by ambulance in the middle of the night. My Mom was already in a retirement facility. The house was starting to decline because he didn't want anyone but him working on it. The vines were growing all over it by then. For 2 years we struggled to empty their belongings and fix the house up for sale. He died 7 months ago in a nursing home.

I’m sure at one time that house was gorgeous. What a shame that the family of the people who lived there n died just let the house literally fall to the ground.

[@chrisackerley1842]

I once had the opportunity to explore a house in the desert of Eastern California that was abandoned for the exact same reason. The only difference was the 70's era van the family died in had been towed back to the house. I felt such an overwhelming sense of sadness. I only wish I had somehow been able to document what I saw. That was the late 70's, though. The only video cameras available back then were huge, clunky, expensive things. Oh, well.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Wouldn’t it be great if we had had GoPro’s back then. It seems like there was so much more to see just a decade ago. At least I see so much stuff that was around just a decade ago vanishing. And it amazes me that so many of these places lasted for 150 years and now in the past 10 or 20 years they are gone.

[@af4od02]

Another great video. I know I’ve taken photographs of the general store. I believe it still had its awning. I remember that green door. Thanks for the info on the stage coach part of the house. I remember the pecan orchard was almost over taken with vines also.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Such a tragic legacy to the homeowners. I do not understand leaving a property to rot. It was not easy to sell my parents home which they loved very much but they would want some else to love it as they did

[@tubehound8]

Thank you for showing the lived lives of the long lost.

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

What a shame to let historic buildings go down like that.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

That passageway is called a portico, and was used to shield the visitor or owner from the elements as they left their buggy or auto. That is too low for a stagecoach to pass under. But we have these in Savannah. The predecessor to a carport.I love the shutters on either side of the double door. I can see ladies with baskets and children at their side in getting their dry goods. Just seeing the poison oak all over it, I get itchy.
