Amazing ABANDONED Victorian Farmhouse In The Country!

[@terrystrahl6006]

Hey James, Wouldn't it be cool to live in a house like this that has been completely restored to it's original condition .. wow ! Another fun explore ....

[@StaticSpaces]

I can only imagine, would be expensive though! Thanks very much Terry!!

[@abbytoplis4941]

Really enjoyed this one! The wood lathe ceilings, scrollwork mouldings and sconces were amazing. The mud room was so classic for a farm and the kitchen amazing. The heat vents to the upper floors were very impressive and so classic for the wood heating system of the day! Thanks for diarizing these older beautiful homes! They are now saved in there own way for posterity.

[@StaticSpaces]

Really glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for your comment!!

[@karrie1377]

The staircases were so so beautiful. The little alcove with the bay window was cool. I can’t imagine what this house was like in its prime. The updates they did seemed poorly planned and not in keeping with the aesthetic of the home. It would be so amazing to have the wealth and the knowledge to be able to lovingly restore this home to its original finery. Too many are lost. Will there be no examples of history left standing for others to appreciate soon. Thank you for sharing James!

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes, I can only imagine what this house would look like if it were restored. Thanks again Karrie!!

[@KathyR1964]

What I love about your videos is how you appreciate and film the architectural details in the house. Other Urbexers just focus on the stuff in the house. This house was amazing. So sad that it is left to rot.

[@StaticSpaces]

It depends on the house for me, this one in particular is all about the architecture. Really glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks very much for your comment!!

[@peggys1140]

Have never seen a door like that! Beautiful! The old original design was much nicer than the modern renovations. Thanks…

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks very much for your comment!!

[@thegrouchyfish]

The front door was absolutely beautiful! Such amazing detail on all the trim work throughout the house. I hope you were able to clean the mud off your boots before you got back in your car. They were pretty caked. Lol Thank you for documenting and sharing this amazing piece of history. We always look forward to seeing where your adventures will take you next. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. You rock! 👍

[@StaticSpaces]

That mud had a tar like consistency to it...it took a lot of work to get them cleaned. 😆 Glad you two are enjoying the videos still and thank you very much for your comment!!

[@brianmachan6959]

The original part of the house is gorgeous, and no roof leaks. It’s so sad to see these places get destroyed

[@StaticSpaces]

Metal rooves last a very long time. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@KimmyLove6932]

Finally you uploaded this place. Its too bad that it doesnt have historical protection. I like that watch tower. It is getting in worse shape. Another great explore JH. Big Hugs 😊😊 P.s. drone footage is adding a nice touch to your videos

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, I had to get drone footage before posting this one, glad you think it was worth it. Thank you very much for your comment Kimmy!!

[@marilynmaker5942]

Victorian farmhouses are my favorite! And this one must have been beautiful in its' day. Sad that it's in such bad condition. But those wood doors & windows are still gorgeous. Thanks James it's a good one!

[@StaticSpaces]

This was a very special house. Glad you enjoyed it Marilyn and thanks very much for your comment!!

[@Xavierxavou]

Hey James , quelle belle maison aux escaliers magnifiques ! Elle mériterait une restauration, les escaliers sont incroyables ĺ Merci pour cette super visite ! Et tous mes vœux pour cette nouvelle année d’exploration !

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad you enjoyed it Xavier at merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire!!

[@annhodge9952]

I would have loved to see this home back in the day! The moment they decided to replace the brick with siding it all went downhill!! They tried to modernize bits and pieces of it, instead of enhancing all of the beauty that was already there. Your old picture of that banister was beautiful. Such a shame to see it in that condition.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, I don't know who thought adding that siding was a good idea! 😂 I was actually pleasantly surprised to see a lot of original elements inside the home still. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@andreakropp341]

I love the design of the Victorian houses with the towers and the beautiful details. The staircase with the decorations on the side is wonderful. A really beautiful and colorful house. A fantastic exploration and fabulous video. Have a wonderful and healthy new year James.

[@StaticSpaces]

This one had some great details, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for your comment and Happy New Year Andrea!!

[@andreakropp341]

@@StaticSpaces You're very welcome and thank you so much. Happy New Year, James.

[@kathycagg6531]

At one time this was a amazingly beautiful home! It became popular in , I think it was, the 50’s to paint gorgeous natural woodwork white. Then came removal of ceiling light fixtures, leaving only the plaster medallions, in favor of area lamps. The insults to this house continued with a remodel using modern ceiling fans, shower doors and garish bright colors. Additionally the kitchen floor was probably covered with a indoor/outdoor carpet - that would explain the wood put down over linoleum. I bet under the linoleum is oak flooring. It is both a pleasure and a sorrow to view such things, no? Especially when we know it will not be redeemed. New sub here. I enjoyed your tour style. Thank you!

[@StaticSpaces]

Well, the wall paint I can live with since that can always be easily changed but painting over stained wood or putting linoleum or laminate over hardwood is just kind of ridiculous. But again if the original floor is still there underneath, then it's not a huge deal either. Really glad you enjoyed the video and hope to hear your thoughts again in the future!!

[@harrietlivengood6793]

That’s a beautiful house and farmland. It’s a shame to see it left to decay. I would love to have seen it when it was original built. I bet it was spectacular. The owner definitely liked vibrant colors. That’s a lot of square footage in that house. Great video James. I hope you have a great new year.

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes, it was a very big house.l and probably quite the sight to see when it was built. Thank you very much for your comment Harriet and Happy New Year!!

[@deaddhianna]

What an amazing farm house. I love your still photography from outside. You really choose some lovely angles and places to highlight.

[@StaticSpaces]

Thank you very much. The outside of this location is so amazing and over several visits, there was always another good view to get. Glad you are enjoying them!!

[@lisacooper3991]

Wow, beautiful house and really like the doors, staircases. Reason for bees and flys to gather up at windows,due to getting warm from sun coming through. Thanks for sharing..

[@StaticSpaces]

Are they trying to get warm from the sun or trying to escape after getting trapped inside? I had never thought of the sun theory before but does make sense. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

Hi James! These farm houses are definitely my favourite type of explore to watch. I’m sure I comment that every time you upload a place like this, but I really do, especially when there are so many original features like this. Really bugs me though when people attempt to renovate and do a really crap and cheap diy job and then up and leave. Weird layout in some areas. All of the features that are original are the best bits. Thank you for the video!

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, I mean I understand, renos are expensive but it begs the question, why would you move into such a nice house if you couldn't afford it. I mean, maybe it was the company that owns it and they were renting it out. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for your comment!!

I love it already James 😂 Good Work 👍

[@ctg6734]

Gah! I find it just despicable that so many places like this one are bought up by foreign investors who only care about making a buck. Such a damn shame this great house will be demolished eventually.

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes, unless somebody steps in, this one will be gone in the near future. Thanks very much for your comments!!

[@cspat1]

Hi James, hope you had a nice Boxing Day. The wood work is nice. The back story of the man catching the barn on fire was interesting. He wanted to try and rescue the property. I know how much you appreciate a good stair case it is a shame the mindless damage someone did to the banister . Do they have a wasp nest or was it bees ? I hate wasp. They are mean hateful buggers. The widows walk I think? I was asking that myself. Can you imagine this home in all her glory when the wood work, and floors were polished and shine, 28:43 bet it was beautiful. I wished the tub had been a soaking tub with feet. Thank you James for showing us this muddy but interesting property!

[@StaticSpaces]

I am 99% sure they were bees. So there probably was/is a very large bees nest in the walls somewhere. Yes, I looked it up while editing the video and it is known as a widows walk/watch. Although from what I learned it doesn't fit the original definition of the term but moreso the modern updated one. That's the only thing this place was missing, a claw foot tub! Thanks very much for your comment Cee Cee!!

[@cspat1]

@@StaticSpaces Claw foot! 😊 tub with feet lol

Makes it sound like an animal or something "claw"

[@karrie1377]

What an incredible home and a shame that it was allowed to fall to any ruin. First the original brickwork was stunning. The tower was stunning and there was another one?!?!

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes, there was a second shorter one on the driveway side attached to the kitchen area of the home...more or less where I started the video. Thanks very much for your comments!!

[@JacLyn777]

Great video. I would love to know what the inside looked like when the very first family moved in.

[@StaticSpaces]

It probably looked amazing. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@kskollections2142]

Loved the huge kitchen! Also loved the staircases! Beautiful craftsmanship! I thought the orange room was wild but that Pepto Bismol pink was atrocious! I usually like color but that was too much! I’m sure the house was exquisite back in its heyday! What a shame that it is gonna be demolished! Love that you appreciate the intricacies of the staircase! Not many appreciate the workmanship of those woodworkers.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, that pink was a bit over the top. I can appreciate hard work in any capacity, it does help that woodwork like that is visually appealing. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@judymcinnis]

James, I appreciate you showcasing all the great molding and those amazing baseboards. I hope you got all that clay/mud off your boots. Did you film in the barn? I was just curious to know if there were any "treasures" in there. Also, with all those dead bees, I would bet my last loonie that there were hives throughout the interior of the walls. 😀🐝

[@StaticSpaces]

So, I did find the barn but the footage was old and extremely shaky, so I decided not to include it. It was pretty much empty anyway but I did get that one photo included in the video. Took a bit of cleaning but I did get the mud off, yes. I think you are right about the hives too, I was thinking the same thing when editing the video. They were honey bees too as far as I could tell. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@UncappedFilms]

This place is stunning

[@StaticSpaces]

Stunning, maybe that's the word I should have used to describe it in the title. 😆 Glad you like it Greg, thanks very much for your comment!!

[@ctg6734]

Did you make an earlier video of this house? I know I've seen it, but perhaps it was on another explorers channel.

[@StaticSpaces]

It was probably on another channel because this is the only video I have posted from here

[@WakeUp01949]

Beautiful home. I am beginning to think these so called "Developers" are really buying up these beautiful places, farms ect, so no one can purchase these pieces of land and restore these beautiful historic homes. How many have we seen, that have been bought by developers and nothing is ever built in a lot of these farmsteads, they are left to rot and no one can buy these places and restore them.

[@StaticSpaces]

Well part of it is they buy in an underdeveloped area at low cost in the hopes that one day it will be a much larger profit. They are a business just like any other. Either way though, a house as nice as this one, should definitely be saved. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@WakeUp01949]

@@StaticSpaces I agree, it like many others should be saved.

[@conleykat]

Cool house. I know what you mean by your shoes were getting heavy from the mud. Where I grew up we had clay mud and I had to take an extra pair of shoes with me to school because my shoes would have that clay mud caked on so thick. It probably would have made me a little taller. LOL

[@StaticSpaces]

That's exactly what that mud was like, I hate that stuff! 😂 Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@jamescarrington5521]

Yeah, those high baseboards were actually common in the big old mansions. Those....renovations and... improvements, lol?I used to sell real estate, and we always put in the property listings, "quality improvements," because many homeowners' ideas of improvements were often GHASTLY.

[@StaticSpaces]

Quality improvements lol But the tall baseboards were something else. Thank you very much for your comment!!
