So Many VALUABLES Inside You Won't Believe YOUR Eyes!! RARE Southern Greek Revival ABANDONED Mansion

MY NEW PATREON PAGE👉 / rangerricktv
In this episode, I explore one of the most exquisite Greek Revival abandoned mansions you have ever seen with massive amounts of valuables left behind!!!!!!!!

[@sassysue6472]

What a shame that it’s not being lived in! What a beautiful home. And the craftsmanship. Absolutely stunning.

i really hope the owners restore this beautiful home .

[@cathy1523]

If this is on the Historical Society's preservation list, WHY are they not keeping up with repairs? The decay ?

[@RangerRickTV]

Some places get like that because of $$$.

[@krjdallas]

Beautiful house... It needs new guardians and love. If you have permission to be there, what are you so afraid of? Unecessary fear hinders the video, and causes you undue stress 👍

[@valerieglover3407]

We are not seeing much because you can't go in anything. I'm done. It's sad because I wanted to see some close ups.

[@peterhoskinson1913]

Beautiful home, It's a wonder it hasn't been vandalized or destroyed.

[@basiliskos119]

It’s not Greek Revival, which was a very popular architectural style in America until probably a few years after the end of the Civil War, the early 1870s. This mansion is a Classical Revival house, obviously inspired by the beautiful Greek Revival and Antebellum architecture in Alabama.

[@kathyschroeder8947]

The "clock" like thing in the kitchen is a call button system for the servants. Each room was equipped with a button to call the servants. Someone would press the button, the device on the wall would ring, and one of the hands on the device would point to the room number so that the servant would know which room needed their attention. The device underneath could then be used as a way to talk to them about what they needed in the room that called. It was connected by way of a pipe or speaking tube. Usually, every room that the "masters" of the house would use or occupy would be equipped with a small speaking tube and bell.

[@amypaparone55]

It was most likely also used to speak to others in the household.

[@jonewton9940]

I wish there was someone who cou.d take this mansion I very and repair it and could l I ve th e re. It's just too beautiful, Tobe empty. It's so awesome THE LEFT LIKE IT IS. SO MUCH STUFF.o.

The thing in the wall in the kitchen is to tell you what room is ringing the help. The bell goes off, the number assigned to the room lights up.

[@RangerRickTV]

Thanks you!

[@rickrussick4673]

Most funerals in the South, both poor and wealthy, were held inside someone's house.

[@carolinemhurleyful]

The spoon collection people collected when traveling. And the shoe collection was all victorian. This gorgeous house is a cross between the home I grew up in & my grandparents house in many ways. So beautiful! Thank you so much for documenting this historic gem ❤️

[@RangerRickTV]

Oh thank you!

They torn this beautiful mansion down…I live behind it…

[@RangerRickTV]

One of the best Ive seen.

[@martinneese572]

Beautiful mansion. However the things on the wall you kept calling them phones is actually the house intercom system. Each room has a button

[@cjsgon2bed]

The item was to call servants to a particular room. Being a very southern house, there likely was a half bath off the kitchen because in those days they certainly wouldn’t have used the same bathroom as a servant. Very much like the movie The Help.

[@karensummer225]

I cannot understand why the city did not try to protect Glen Iris instead of building apartment houses for low income so close. It ruins the beauty that Glen Iris definitely had at one time

[@j.goodwin9908]

The second owner added the apartments in the 1960’s according to an article found via google. I’m surprised the neighborhood let apartments be built.

[@susanhenry9208]

@@j.goodwin9908 it’s a sad story of economic decline and homeowners wanting to move to a ritzy neighborhood to maintain their reputation of wealth. In the 20’s Birmingham suffered because of the “crash”. Many homes in the area that I lived in were converted into apartments because owners could not afford to maintain such large homes. Others were left abandoned at some point. Some are tied up in probate. As time went by, the area continued to decline. The city did not value the history of the homes or the public buildings. In the 70’s the modern movement caused many buildings to be torn down for new development. Owners found it more profitable to sell the old homes to developers for apartments and etc. This fight continues to this day. Neighborhood associations continue to appeal to city hall concerning rezoning issues. The good news is that many of the old homes are being sold to owners how are restoring them.

[@Elizabethmoonlightchild]

You got permission to go in and explore yet you're super scared you'll be caught? You've repeated like 40 times you don't want to get close to windows or seen. If you got permission you wouldn't be walking on egg shells. That aside this was a magnificent home

[@francoamerican4632]

If I had permission to be there I'd be walking in front of the windows with my light on and camera flashing. Someone confronts me I'd be like, "yeah, I'm in here! You got a problem with that?"

[@sherrymckay5184]

So many vintage and antiques in that mansion . Like the cut to clear glasses on the mantle , the co,red ones . That chair in the entrance would also go for good money. Not to mention all the expensive vintage designer clothing . After seeing all of this, I'm wondering about the four children they had ? Where are they, and don't they want their family heirlooms ? You should do a follow up on this family.

[@amoryharwellless7454]

They just tore this house down 3 days ago. I’m so sad. 😢

[@sallycollins2445]

I read that, too. I sincerely hope most items were removed 😢

[@trailerparkcutie_txtpc7379]

😮

[@sherrycarney4924]

beautiful old home. I wonder who owns it now, the heirs? I bet it has many stories to tell. I guess they cannot tear it down with it being historically protected. I would also guess the reason why glasses and other items were sitting around, is that some of the heirs either wanted some of the cabinets that housed those items or they were sold off to pay taxes....

[@cynthiaburrus3901]

I really thought before I decided to post, but there are some things you need to know. First of all, it is MADDENING to hear over, and over and over that you COULD NOT GET CLOSE TO THE WINDOWS and about how "Sketchy" the neighborhood is. You endlessly repeated this. Once was enough if you felt the need to bring it up at all. It made it sound as though you Actuall Did Not have permission to be there to film. I could name everything you "had absolutely No Idea" about. Some of these things are commonly known items. Chet Atkins was a Nationally known musician for decades. The "curvy heater" is a towel warmer commonly used and currently sold today. Those weren't fleur d'lis, they were likely hand painted (not clear enough to determine if they were "inlays" of a different color wood) medallions on the library panels. The early 1900's stressed the sunshine and fresh air and it appeared on the lower level to have an inner corridor around the outside lower floors with windows lining virtually all the outline of the living areas of the house. It appeared the glassed in room with the canvas and supplies was likely an original breakfast alcove, perfect for an artist to work. The stair chair climber have been sold exactly this way for decades and the old fashioned elevators were original to many houses and commonly installed in upscale homes of the wealthy. Another writer pointed out the buzzer and light panel call box for the staff. The original built in telephone set up (A luxury for the time) never had a rotory dial. The earliest phone ear piece was picked up and and an "operator" magically asked who you wanted to call and connected you to the "party" you wanted. Later I believe buttons were were used. I'm not certain that the University of Alabama was ever in Birmingham other than as a satellite to U of A in Tuscaloosa. UA, Birmingham was still there in the late 1970's and was very well known for their Medical School. There are other Universities well known there. I lived there from 1973 until 1977 while my husband was in pharmacy school at Samford. That's as far as I've gotten so far. I like very much your idea of your giving us family information and history they were directly involved in. The quality of your film and stills is excellent. But it would be so much more enjoyable if you understood more about the different eras. You can do that on line and of course the good old standby, the library. But spending a few days a week learning about the time periods and what was commonly used in New homes, what they were used for and looking up common appliances for the different decades would upgrade you to a 10+ very quickly. I know this is going to come across as hypercritical but I truly don't mean it that way. I just know these things could really make a difference in your presentations. The bathroom is a weird place for a LINEN Press but that's what it looks like. It may be just a large linen closet. All the "strange" little spots looked like paint peeling look suspiciously like racoon claw scratch marks. Maybe they were looking for "nuts".

[@Ron50M]

WOW!!! I'm only half way through this vid and I was thinking exactly what you wrote, only I was a lot less eloquent. Why weren't the people, who supposedly gave permission to go in the house, there with him to mollify any suspicious neighbors? Were the walls in that place so thin that he could only talk in a whisper? No, you weren't being hypercritical in your comments.

Cynthia , care to add anything else, ha, thanks for the heads up, I didn’t watch the video yet, I’ll let you know what I think of it. One thing I get sick of hearing on others videos is “this place, this place, “ x 1,000. Haha crazy!!

[@natashalove7016]

Damn this video triggered you that much??? 😂 Clearly you don’t understand what it means to disturb people. He had permission to be in the house but not everyone knew that. There are people all around who probably deal with people who don’t have permission to be there. Then they call the police. So why disturb people around and the police and waste valuable time and resources? Unless of course that’s something you do daily? Sounds like it per your rant. Not everyone knows what everything is. If you do great! There was no need for your whole book though sheesh humble yourself Karen!

You are authorized to visit the property so you don't have to worry about neighbors. Take your time and explore, and most of all, enjoy!

[@mamajennie]

I read that it's a low income neighborhood now.

[@heatherhock3622]

I agree your constant paranoia is irritating & definately took from the whole walk through. I ended up muting you once I realized the history was done. Also please take the time to research period atchitechture & fixtures/furniture it would make your video less ignorant sounding & more of an accurate documentary of a historic landmark.

[@natashalove7016]

He has permission but the whole neighborhood doesn’t know that. Who knows how many people could of seen him and called police and disturbed everyone and wasted police time.

[@pattyprovost6516]

I thought the same why is he so worried, surely he had permission to be in there. and why show something 7-8 times when 2-3 would be enough!

[@heatherlonaker909]

I don’t think he had permission to be in there, otherwise why would he care if someone saw him!

[@carolynlanham3170]

Yes, the squirrelly thing was a heater - for the bathroom to dry and warm towels - amazing invention but quite modern. I received one of these for Christmas about 10 years ago and I praise the person who was so thoughtful to give me this! After all, when you get out of the shower we can assume that you are clean? So the towels are wet but clean, right? So hang the towels on this, dry them and use again!

[@gasburyinteriors]

The Japanese folding piece you thought was a table cover is called a coromandel screen and is Japanese art for walls.

[@SteveRonin]

Great job Rick! What an amazing place! Dayum

[@Vinnygret]

At 38:58 the "contraption" is the base of a treadle Singer sewing machine. You could sew without electricity by pushing a treadle up and down. They were often made over into nice tables on the iron bases.

[@MaeFlower2019]

This home is beautiful! The pride taken in the woodwork cannot be found today…if it can, it’s very far and few between. As for the Chet Atkins album you saw, you should take the time to look him up. He’s considered Nashville’s “Mr. Guitar”. He was self taught around the age of 5 and played the guitar very differently than anybody else. He used a thumb pick…as a kid he also would use the strings from the screen doors as his strings broke. He set up for Elvis to first appear in Nashville in about 1956. His Christmas album is my favorite!!! You might recognize his playing from Mr. Sandman…anyway…there’s a whole lot about Chet Atkins…way too much to list! Great video though! Wonder where the family to these people are and why they’re not restoring this home?

[@faithzamborowski4042]

What happen to the people who inherited the property? You would think they would love some of the vintage items.

What a beautiful old mansion. Just makes me sick that no one cares enough to go in and get their own belongings of their family and that the house is just left to rot all those beautiful antiques, personal belongings, and incredible architecture. How sad in the US that there are not more, interested in preserving our history instead, we let it rot away until it’s completely gone.

[@sheilad83]

It is being cared for, there's been a roof put on in the last 5yrs. I'm from Alabama, and I've seen this home on another explorers video! ❤

[@susanhenry9208]

I grew up in Birmingham. Unfortunately, many of the old mansions in Southside and Glen Iris have been torn down or left to rot. Many of the residents moved from this area to Mountain Brook. Locals refer to it as “over the mountain”. As the homes were torn down, apartments started to fill the area and some of the old homes were subdivided into apartments. I know this area and can completely understand his reluctance to make his presence known to surrounding residents. It is very sketchy. There are historic neighborhoods in the area that are experiencing renewal and respect for the mansions that remain. Glen Iris is surrounded by low income housing and renewal efforts are slow.

[@warriorgirl8118]

I think 🤔 that the efferts to restore this beautiful historical home should be preserved and used as a museum of southern architecture and cultural heritage and historical artifacts that are still there in this home it is such a beautiful home for all ages to see and experience 🇺🇸👼👍😇✝️🙏🙏🗽✡️👏💯✨🇺🇸

I swear if he says he can't get near the window one more time, I'm going to come down there and hit him in the head!!!! HAHA!!! Dude CALM DOWN!!! It makes you seem like you aren't supposed to be there. You are doing a great job, but you're stressing yourself out, so relax man. Don't say anything else about the damn window. haha. I went to school at Samford University and lived in Trussville, so I love old houses and they have plenty in Bham. I think you did a great job. I don't think the U of A was in Bham. If you want time capsules go to southern Alabama and you will most definitely get thrust back to the 1950s. Just look for the signs. They're usually around the water fountains. Sad but true but this was around 1997, I really hope they took those disgusting signs down.

[@mamajennie]

He's obviously afraid of the neighborhood.

[@mommag8095]

[@judyshepard1425]

I don’t feel that this home is actually abandoned. There may have Been an effort to establish as a museum however, may have been a shortage of funds or something. There does not appear ro be vandalism so I think there is an effort to protect it. These type of homes require a tremendous amount of funds to keep in repair. Hopefully someone or a group with money can step in and bring it back to its original glory

[@cynthiaburrus3901]

I believe one of the markers outside stated that the house is listed on the Historic Register. I don't know a Lot about that but I believe they give a certain amount of money to the owners to bring the property To THEIR STANDARDS. If you do Anything without approval from Then, you stand to HAVE TO PUT IT BACK AS IT WAS (AHhh) or return all the funds they gave you. This may not all be true, or it may have changed since I read the piece I saw on it. Further, they may have a spent a large amount on security for the property. The thing I question about the "sketchy" is this, it is the neighbors this man is so stressed. Security can only go so far but a smash and grab could take but minutes and they will have made a very nice tidy profit and they can repeat whenever they want. A thief at will. That doesn't mesh with the idea that the neighbors are vigilant in watching and gauging the security of the house.

[@sheilad83]

I believe there is a social group in BHAM, a ladies club that used to periodically meet there. Don't quote me, but I remember hearing it a few yrs ago

[@sa.de.sm.5864]

Job One, if you are responsible for a lovely mansion that is abandoned should be to make sure the roof doesn't leak and then that there is no way for animals, too many insects, or rain can get into the house. Then clear out the useless junk and trinkets that make it look like hoarders lived there and makes it difficult to enter rooms. Then it might just be sellible if you can't afford to properly care for the place.

I dig the power meter lamp. I would of hooked it to something that drew more power though, like an electric oil heater. Or something that drew power long term. Like a hot water heater or refrigerator. All of ours got ripped out and replaced by digital ones that telemetry back to the company the reading. I had one that got zapped, and one of the teeth got damaged, and it would hang on that gear up to a certain load but not over it. So I made it a point to stay under that limit a lot lol. You could draw power but the meter wouldn't turn because it was caught on that damaged gear tooth.

Your narration can barely be heard because of it. And as others have said, if you have permission to be inside recording don't worry about the neighbors. All of your paranoia detracted from the video. The background information on the families who resided there was very good. The man's hat you noted is not a Top Hat, it's a Fedora. I'm amazed you never heard of Chet Atkins. He was quite famous at one time. A great guitarist. And lastly, the early intercom system was pretty fascinating to me. I thought it should have been obvious what it is. A telephone of that era would not have had any buttons. That is a fabulous old home. It's a shame to see how it is deteriorating. Thank you for recording the inside of it for us all to enjoy.

I really liked the glass slippers and all the glass detail in general. Great video Rick!

@@RangerRickTV All the explores, you all are aware that if these devices truly work then only demons presents these will show. For no human Spirit stays "ghosting" on earth realms. After death: Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Meaning: Saved souls shall go into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM and unsaved into hell, for these 2 are holding places for the departed human SPIRITS. Only ones who “ghost” in this realm without body is the evil spirits: Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Presents from demons?

@@francoamerican4632 Only demos shall speak back which the population of humans, having no knowledge thereof take it as the departed human Spirit speaking with them. It is no so.

The little spoons you saw saw were for demitasse cups. A regular size spoon would tip one of those little cups cups over. If you have a spoon shaped like a little coal shovel, that was for the sugar bowl. Those are NOT "collector" spoons, which were a created hobby/collectible craze designed to make people buy worthless souvenirs. The spoons you saw were silver as you can tell from the tarnish.
