Classic Abandoned Farmhouse... Exploring a Strange FORGOTTEN Time Capsule!!

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

As mentioned in KathyR’s post, watching these videos made me realize I need to start purging. What helped me make a list of Purge/Sell and what to will to family is by watching Bargain Barons which sparked memories of things I have.

[@StaticSpaces]

It never hurts to get the jump on those kinds of things!

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

18:23 That unique archway framing that gorgeous ceiling is astoundingly beautiful.

[@StaticSpaces]

I agree. Thank you so much for your comments!!

[@KathyR1964]

Makes you realize that when you get to a certain age, you need to purge your stuff otherwise it's a huge chore for the kids to go through years of stuff. That was a nice home in a rural area. For me, it's sad to see the clothing the homeowners once wore. I enjoyed this video!

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya the wife's clothing in the closet still was pretty sad to see! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

15:22 Check out that England Law Book 1756 to 1878! What a ton of history is in there.

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh wow, at the time I hadn't realized it was that old!

[@thegrouchyfish]

Such an amazing explore! The exterior almost looks like a castle. The archways and wood ceilings on the main floor were something to behold. We also really liked the ceiling light fixture in the upstairs bathroom.... So cool! Thanks so much for doing what you do and keep on keeping on. 👍

[@StaticSpaces]

So many great things to see in this house, have to admit the ceiling was my favourite. Really glad you two enjoyed this one and thanks a lot for your comment!!

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

6:45 It seems to me that those paintings on the floor and the picture on the wall 9:51 must have held some significance simply because they are there among the renovations.

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

13:26 That door must be really wide to have been able to fit that freezer in there. 13:48

ceramic pekingese... What an amazing house..They loved wallpaper.. I'm sure it was amazing while in its prime.. So sad to see it in such shambles... where do the family go once the owners die?..

Sometimes the surviving family just can't mentally handle the task of sorting everything out. Thank you very much for your comment!!

Such a wonderful home in its day!!! I missed part of the premiere so I watched it when I got home❤. The woodwork was beautiful !! I loved the ceiling downstairs ❤. Staircase was nice too!!!! Wallpaper was very nice. I seen lots of beautiful old furniture that needs to be saved It looked like someone was packing things up to move. Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see any photos? Thank you for another amazing video!!! You do a great job❤️. Pam❤❤

Beautiful house, love the exterior brick and design. The details on the inside are very unique, especially the curved doorways, haven't seen that in a farmhouse before. Too bad it wasn't taken care of after the parents past, but we will never know why.

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes those archways were one of a kind! Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@ctg6734]

What a neat house! Loved the style, and those ceilings on the first floor were great! I'm honestly surprised with how bad the roof looks, yet the main floor still appears habitable.

[@StaticSpaces]

I agree, after seeing the roof and the wall, I was very surprised at the condition of the house. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

Hi James! Great house. So many old things to see and the decor and woodwork was great to see. Very interesting place. These farmhouses with the towers are definitely different. Haven’t seen many of them about. Thanks for the video!

Hello James! I am a new viewer, and I absolutely love this Static Space for sure. Such an old farm house vibe for sure. Reminds me a lot of my great grandfather's home here in Nebraska. He too was a farmer. I am sure you've already been told, but the ceramic dog is a Pekingese...used to have one when I was younger. The wallpaper in this house reminds me of so many from my past. And I always love the light fixtures and such from these old homes. You do an amazing job on your explores, and I will continue to be a faithful watcher. Take care & God Bless....Lora from Nebraska

[@StaticSpaces]

Appreciate you letting me know it was a pekingese, that's what most others have said too. I am really glad you are enjoying the videos Lora and thank you so much for your comment!!

[@malindahenke5724]

Wow. So sad to see this beautiful house in such sad shape. You don't see workmanship like this anymore. And yes the chalkware figure was a pekingese dog.

What a beautiful brick exterior and the interior woodwork. Too bad it’s all coming down because of the leaking roof. Thanks…

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes, I think this house has been being neglected for a lot longer than 10 years. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@choosewisely6994]

Yeah 🎉I love these kinds of videos the best. I really love the house it's unfortunate that it's falling into disrepair 😢. Very unique design in the outside as well, pretty. I think family members just give up on cleaning out home's of loved one's and selling the property. I sold my parents home and sold their furniture etc and gave items away as well. It's hard to do for sure. Thank You! ❤ I enjoyed your video.

[@StaticSpaces]

It is a very difficult thing to do but glad you managed to get through it. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@briray92]

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to see inside this one for a while now. She’s absolutely beautiful!!

[@StaticSpaces]

No problem, I'm glad I could show you what it looked like. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

You can tell it was such a beautiful home at one point. I think the kitchen probably had the first upgrade (likely in the 60s, going by the cabinet handles). Not sure when the main floor bath was added, but certainly upgraded in the 80s or so, along with other areas of the home. Such a shame it's seeing this deterioration, but in this day and age, it'll likely get torn down eventually anyway. Wish they could at least save the brick and nice things like the interior doors though. 😐 Anyway, thanks so much for another cool explore James! Stay safe! 😊

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, I think this one will be too far gone to save unfortunately. It's a shame because we don't have many houses with towers like this one. Thank you very much for your comment Carrie!!

[@MrDonCoyote]

Another great video. I love these older homes. They got much soul and personality to them. But how come you don't use a drone for filming the more dangerous places like the basement and the one room with a dangerously rotten floor?

[@StaticSpaces]

The simple answer to the drone question is that they don't really work indoors. Drones require connections to satellites and in general, they can't see them when inside a building. But if a floor is bad enough that I think I may fall through, I won't step on it, I always err on the side of caution. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

[@nanetten6238]

This house was beautiful, but I can only imagine how cold and drafty it was in the winter.

I would imagine it could have been rough, especially if the hole in the bricks isn't new! 😆 Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@lynnmandeville1163]

Such a sad sad house - once beautiful and loved. It's a shame the family members have not removed the lovely old items that could find a new home where they can have a second life. Shame that the house was allowed to fall into such disrepair that it most likely won't be saved.

"Somewhere in Ontario, Canada...." You can't get closer than that? How about "ten miles north of Edminston?" I'd love to hear more about it. It looks like someone was midway through restoration when they ran out of money.

Well there are a number of reasons it doesn't make sense to give out locations publicly but the two main ones are, vandals and I doubt the owners would appreciate it. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@aesgaard41]

@@StaticSpaces Oh, I get that, and I respect that. Most of the time, I can discern where a location is with just a reverse image search and some rational thinking. What I don't get is why most explorers don't share locations with other or even former explorers who just want to keep up with the field. Trust me, "near Toronto" or "around Nashville" is just as vague as not saying anything at all. Although, more to your point, local people can figure out where places are because they know the area, but this isn't exactly true. I live near Nashville, TN. I've been to several locations in the area, but there are still a few places I can't seem to find. There's one location here that everyone seems to "have lived next door to," but is actually at the end of a dead end road, and I still don't know where it is..
