Strange 1890’s Estate Left Untouched And ABANDONED | Frozen In Time For Generations

[@kat771973]

That looks like it was a dairy farm! I get a welcoming yet sad feeling from the main house..

[@lorizordell7296]

It was surely a dairy farm!

[@cfine8674]

In the lower part of the barn is where the cows were milked.

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

Please let me live in the guest house. I love it. Its perfect for me! The black on the walls are probably from the wood /coal heating. You could fit a pair of disposable gloves in your pocket. For a house built in 1890 one bathroom is NOT uncommon. Maybe even an outhouse, you know! Too bad it couldn't be renovated and saved. Would be a great venue place for weddings and such. It would be so beautiful. What a shame. They had cows, too! How cool! Thank you for the explore.

[@devonkelly44]

Weddings for sure!!! Definitely a shame.

[@FondaPassmore]

This was a nice older property! Before long all the history of these older homes will be gone. Thanks for reminding us what it was like years ago. ❤

[@ellennewth6305]

I love this cool, old vintage home! Back in 1890 when it was built, the residents probably used an outhouse. Indoor plumbing was not a regular part of new home construction until 1900. However, even in 1900, not all new homes had indoor plumbing. Thanks for sharing this explore with us, Ethan!

[@marthamitchell9452]

This was fantastic. It’s an old dairy. That’s called a bank barn, built into the side of a bank so that both levels are ground level. The upper portion is where they would have stored the hay and you can see they could just pull the hay wagons in to be unloaded. The door you didn’t look in was probably the room for grain and things. You should have been able to find the hay chute to drop the hay down to the cows. They would have stood in the area with the dividers and had feed in the section between the rows. The channel at the back would have a grate over it and that’s where the manure would go and there’s usually something that moves it along the channel to remove it from the barn. The first room to the right on the lower level would have been the milk room where the cans of milk would be stored in a trough of water until they were picked up. That’s a real jewel of a place you found. It’s too bad they didn’t save the two houses and a small parcel of 5 or 10 acres so someone could save that house. They just don’t build them like that anymore. Personally I would remodel the laundry room to include a bathroom and that strange little room upstairs to be at least a half bath.

[@jennibruce2420]

Hi Ethan, these old houses have so much character and are absolutely beautiful. Homes like this are not built like this anymore. Thanks for the tour.

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

Thumbs up on the video Ethan 👍❤️😎

[@tigerlord9302]

I’ve explored at least one abandoned farm house that has since been destroyed. It was never updated and had old fashioned gas stoves etc. Another farm house suffered the same fate sadly.

[@statue98]

Love seeing old homes like this. Thank you.

[@carlashepherd9362]

I like this farmhouse, look’s cool & cozy! Awesome video bro! 👍🤘❤️

[@liqurchic1930]

Ethan! Love the house! I don’t know if you remember but I had a biopsy done, it came back negative!!! Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers! More chemo in December. Ethan I have been watching since the start. Thank you for what you do!!

[@MelissaWilliams-m5z]

Great little video! It looks like a smaller operation diary farm. Those metal stalls would be where the cows stood for milking, the little room with the metal sink is where the milk would’ve been stored. There could have been other animals in the Wooden pens though. Thanks Ethan. You do a great job with these explores! ❤

[@colleenkrause8226]

Hi Ethan, the guest house also known as a tenet house was where farm hands would live. Depending on how big the house is you could have a family live it or maybe several farm hands. My aunt and uncle were tenant farmers and got free housing to live in but they had to pay for utilities and any repairs. This brought back some wonderful memories for me thank you. ❤

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

You marvelling over the house having just 1 bathroom cracked me up! I was more amazed that it was on the second floor! 😄 This explore was like going down memory lane for me though. My childhood best friend lived in an 1800's farmhouse, and it had the similar green carpeting upstairs in her hallway (that was more like a room to connect other rooms). Hers had the same creepy basement too! My grandparents' had a small hobby farm, so even the barn & the massive trees in this one remind me of the big tree we'd climb near the road and the apples we'd feed to the cows. And the car calendar you found was just like the ones my dad used to bring home at the end of the year from the auto parts store where he worked... my fave thing was to flip thru and see what 'my' (birthday month) car was that year. This was such a peaceful location... really wish they saw the value of keeping it, but we know it won't stay. At the very least, i wish they'd save the bathtub and that gorgeous exterior brick (imagine using that on the interior of a home). Anyway, thanks for the explore & the nice trip down memory lane, Ethan. Have a good night! 😊

[@donnagagne3813]

I love old houses like this and you are right; they a built to last. This place gave me the creeps tho. The younger house was cozy. Thanks Ethan.

[@colettesantoro8797]

The first room with the flowered wallpaper looks like it was one big room at one time. The reason I say this is because those curved arches do not go with the period of the house.

[@kathyv.8296]

Very cool location! I love old farmhouses & historical properties. Thanks for sharing this lovely home, as always so very sad to see it go.

[@user-iamRobinV68]

Hey Ethan!!! House is awesome and the land is insane!! Such a shame. Great explore 😊😊😊

[@malkakossoy3747]

Could never live in a one bathroom house. That's crazy!

[@debby8428]

I grew up in one. When I got married and had four kids they grew up in one. My friend who is one of 14 kids grew up in one too. It can be done!

[@itsafranckthing]

I love this property so much. This is the kind of thing you see a lot from my area (Amish Country, IYKYK) Out of all the places I have seen you explore, this would be the one I am most saddened to know it will be torn down. You can tell that house was loved and well maintained for how old it is.

[@johntilson2535]

Surprised that isn't a Heritage property...sad it's going the way of the wrecking ball...

[@bytorthesnowdog1794]

Outhouse young man -- they almost certainly had an outdoor privy because at the time of its construction indoor plumbing was somewhat of a new thing especially in an area that 130 years ago would have been frontier prairie your country's population at the time only being about 5 million people -- I am a big fan of your explorations thanks for the video.

[@Jacqueline-h3i]

That was beautiful I was raised on a farm in New Jersey those staws were for cows I love really old houses my grandparents farm house is being used for a museum about the town Shamong its in the. Pine Barron's ❤

[@malkakossoy3747]

Very cool, warm and inviting. I wonder if the guest house was rented out? Purple walls in the basement for a pop of color. Grabbed my attention.

[@donnagillett865]

Looks like an old farmhouse and dairy farm , the building where you thought they would have kept pigs looks like the milking area and those buildings next to the garage outside would have been for farm vehicles . The house only having one bathroom upstairs was probably because they turned a small room into a bathroom later I would think there would have been an outside toilet when the house was first built. An amazing video , thanks for sharing it with us Ethan x

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

Hello Ethan 👋I’m watching the video now and thank you for sharing this great video 👍❤️😎

[@kathleen726]

Really nice place! So vintage! I grew up in an old home like this one so I can relate to a lot of those rooms and closets! Thanks Ethan!

[@robbieparrish649]

Looks like an old barn for milking! Dairy farm! Nice video!!

[@Katsfolly]

When that house was built, it’s VERY likely that it did not have indoor plumbing. A bedroom was likely sacrificed to have one later down the road. This was likely a family farm at one time, and the 2nd house was built by a son or daughter in the 70’s. At one point, the grandparents died leaving the house to the younger generation, but they stayed in the newer, more energy efficient house. It’s likely that larger house hasn’t been lived in for at least 30 years. The family probably did minimal upkeep to it.

[@lisaholland9062]

Thank you for looking at all these houses whether they're 70s and 80s or older than that. I really appreciate it.

[@floriebrown2089]

You said was built to last for ever sadly not in Canada, here in the UK houses are not completely demolished. My son retained two third of his house and with an extension onto it,. Quite a bit of the old features still exists. A very well used kitchen, great functional fire place. When I suffered from bad sciatica the sight of a chair was always welcome. That was a cow shed possibly for milking. I'm glad you showed us the next building it is like a farm storage space or office. I love this video thank you Ethan.

[@chriscoleman6956]

You have been looking at abandoned houses for a long time keep it up I love old farm houses.

[@boudicca7181]

Ethan, you are becoming such a Professional. Nice to see.

[@mikeross880]

“Explore it like it’s 1890” - Great find Ethan.

[@nicoletanis3703]

Hello Ethan, great video and thanks for the virtual tour!

[@karrie1377]

Well that’s a super cool place classic house that’s well kept. Of course it should NOT be torn down. A little bit of updating and would it be good!! I would like it kept and perhaps the land divided into plots for custom homes. No condos, no cookie cutters, no dense housing. No industrial blight. Wallpaper always lasts. Some NICE light fixtures. It should be given another chance!! If some one doesn’t start preserving some of these homes the landscape will soon all be ugly and boring. Thank you sir Ethan for filming and sharing. I enjoyed!! Take care be well and stay safe!!

[@juliejackson962]

Hey Ethan..I loved this video, the house was something else..looks like a dairy farm ..must have so much history..fabulous stay safe well and happy Ethan 💋

[@davydavid860]

A beautiful house

[@malkakossoy3747]

Surprised that for the age of the house, it doesn't have more of the roof coming down. Still in pretty good condition considering it's age. The handles the kitchen slanted like that was interesting.

[@cathyorlowski1951]

That's an old dairy barn. The bottom is where the cows slept, ate feed and hay and were milked. The ramp to the large top is called a wagon ramp. The wagons, tractors, all the tack, feed and hay bails were kept in the large upper part of the barn.

[@Gsdmom]

That random chair!! Gets me every single time! LOL Great explore!

[@arnobg4905]

Mighty property! The main house has a certain charm... Arno✌

[@SusanFreiboth]

You missed the root cellar in the kitchen floor.

[@judithpayne6369]

Old houses like that very rarely had more than one bathroom. I grew up with the family home only having one bathroom.

[@dawnemmons4308]

My house was built in 1912 and I literally have one of those doors on the floor that open to the basement. You are definitely right though they do not build houses like they used to.

[@astrologyfirst4376]

Wow the land must be worth more than the house!?? Love your nostalgia about the past in days when the internet would not have existed or cell phones or even beepers. lol I’m a big explorer as well I’ve done a lot of them in France like chateaux and such truly fun thanks for the explore 😊

[@SharonJones-ql8oy]

I bet there's beautiful hardwood floors under all that nasty carpet! In the old days Laundry was hung up in the Attic to dry cuz it was you know so hot up there 🥵 I live in a 75 yr old Colonial Farmhouse built by a distant Cousin. I purchased it in 2015 and am patiently restoring it🤗

[@bronwyn6415]

Hey Ethan, I was surprised you identified that spider by the same name as we do down here in Australia. Thanks for the tour.

[@irenewatts2874]

Very cool video Ethan!👍🆒

[@rachelgervais1971]

This property is gorgeous.

[@margaretyoder4019]

Great house Ethan, reminded me of my grandmas house. She only had one bathroom upstairs. They added a 1/2 bath to the back of the house so it was adjacent to the kitchen. I was afraid of the basement too. Thanks for the memories it brought back. Keep up the great work❤😊

[@dawnpinto9286]

Beautiful place! And the stalls in the barn were for cows. I looked like there were some other fenced off areas possibly for other animals like pigs. Cool place!

[@melaniejohnson606]

Love these old houses. Those stale things in the barn I believe were where you milked the cows.

[@angelarowe3472]

Good afternoon Ethan 🤗. back in the day when you went down under the kitchen area back in the day It was called a root cellar and then in that way they could store all their caning goods to getting prepared for the winter in that type of home just an FYI, thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful property and it’s just a shame as usual but it is what it is you take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠

[@angelarowe3472]

PS: the stories that this house could probably tell🤔

[@karengould3996]

Ethan looks amazing thank you for showing us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@barbaragravely920]

Holy smokies bandit this ol time piece home is so stunning i would love to have this home .This would be my most favorite out of them all Ethan wow thank you for the explore top notch buddy awesome job .The hinge in the kitchen is for bad storms to keep you safe under ground we had 1 in Montana due to twisters yes they show up . Love ya buddy take care friend Barbie & Sam NWP, FL

[@richard-jdesjardins1343]

Great job again . Love the staircase , hidden shelves in fireplace mantel , all of it . 🙂

[@lindavinall3972]

The barn was for milking cows. The bars kept them in place and the trough was for waste to be washed off.

[@Mszahnclass95]

What a nice older home on a huge lot I noticed the houses that you take us to Ethan they always have great huge land the houses sit on. Ethan you're right about the older homes having better quality of material and craftsmanship the only thing I'm not too keen on is the galley kitchens I like the open concept kitchens or L shapes .kinda has a little errie vibe in ut . But it might be just because the house is over 100 years old too as well thank you Ethan for taking us on the abandoned house hunting always enjoy your videos and amazing houses that you take us to❤i cant believe i been watching since you had 15 k subscribers .

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Hi Ethan!❤

[@maryjaneknab4051]

I’m going to say,that’s not a guest house, that’s where the hired hand and his family lived

[@helenmarychurch7936]

It's such a beautiful heartwarming place

[@davydavid860]

Thanks for sharing

[@paigesilverstein9108]

it almost looks like an old dairy farm. they would have put the cows in the shoots and let them graze on hay as they were milked.

[@MrGaryRoberton]

A true Victorian Farmhouse, the narrow stair at the back of the kitchen could have been a hired hand or maids loft. the dormer hallway was probably used to house a sewing machine.. not too opulent but a good example of a working property of the day. Bet the farm was handed down about three generations. Cheers Ethan...

[@charliea3363]

The property was beautiful but that house looked creepy asf. Awesome video

[@sherrillgladman7729]

Your right Ethan they were built to last back then

[@susanbradley2465]

+This was a beautiful old farmhouse and dairy barn for milking the cows.This is my favorite type of home it shows the beauty of the craftman ship of human hands building it with love.I wish they would alt lest save the house and barn as it the only parts that are from the 1890.Thank you Ethan for what knowledge you had the property.

[@marneshiagilbert7860]

This is a huge property you could build like a couple more houses on this property you could build houses for your family if you wanted too I wood if I was living here wow

[@WandaCaston-vp2ep]

There is nothing about this house that I don't love except maybe the basement it's so sad they will be tearing this beauty down they do not respect the architecture any more

[@tigre7739]

It's always cool to see different types of homes, although not my personal preference, I can appreciate it. I love the old decor, the green carpet, the wallpapers, and the blue bath fixtures. I was 😂 when you mentioned the 🐓, I was literally thinking it, right when you said it🤭 The property is absolutely beautiful! 🤩 This would be one of those places I would love visiting it the bright light of the day, but I'd be out of there before night fall, because although I can appreciate the home, these always give me the jitters a bit, especially with things like the basement, the attic, the door in the floor, I don't even want to think about that one, not to mention the doll😯, too many scary movies.😬 It was a cool explore though.😎✌️, that totally does it, just when I sent this comment, the number of likes was 666! 😧

[@malkakossoy3747]

The room between the two bedrooms could have been a playroom between two children's rooms

[@DragonzLyfe]

Great find! That is not pet food, it is rat poison.

[@bronwyn6415]

That's what I thought.

[@cherryspiker4426]

My grandparents had that same sculputered green carpet in the 70's. They had it replaced in the early 80's with a varigated brown sculptured carpet.

[@judywho2249]

Really like the country house with the acreage!

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Beautiful 😍 absolutely 🥰

[@zelbole]

The barn had dairy cattle underneath. They were reigned to the bars, facing outwards, and milked from the center aisle.

[@anncrow3340]

I love the older homes, but I watch your videos coz I like your videos, grew up in a 1960s home, lived in a few 1960s-80s homes so can still relate. Yeah, that attic access in the kitchen was a strange add-on. A house that old would've had a closed door to the attic not all open, to conserve heat. The downstairs had a lot of old updates, and the upstairs was pretty much original. The guest house looked more like it was built for a family member, maybe adult kids? Great video, as usual. Thanks!

[@RafanellG]

Que pasa? Ethan. Bello lugar, con tantos árboles y espacios verdes. Da mucha paz. Gracias por el video ✌️😉

[@johntilson2535]

Looks like this was a dairy farm 34:44. Kind of explains why the 'fancy' main house, as most dairy farms in the early 1900s were usually quite profitable!

[@wwis8021]

this is beautiful!

[@Jackie_Who]

We were a family of 8 with one bathroom. Can you imagine?

[@debby8428]

my friend was one of 14 kids. They had only one bathroom!

[@Jackie_Who]

@@debby8428 Wowsers!!!

[@ritagreen1540]

I like this house would be cool to restore cool barn

[@riversong6216]

The walls are probably dirty because the house was heated by a wood stove. This would cause everything to be covered with soot. My parent's house was built around the same year as this one and as you walk in the front door stairs to second floor were to the right with the living room on the left. Edit: I forgot to mention that door in the kitchen floor may have led to the root cellar. People used these to store their (home) canned foods and other sundry foods. I'm in my 60's now but when I was a kid, we would always go visit my mom's old home place. They had a farm, used a root cellar, and even carried ice cold water from a nearby spring as the house did not have running water. That was some of the best tasting water I've ever had the pleasure to drink (from a galvanized bucket using a dipping ladle). Also, no running water meant using an outhouse. That's probably why there was no bathroom downstairs in this house, the one upstairs was likely added in the 60's. I'm guessing the house you explored didn't have running water when it was built which is why the kitchen sink and bathroom had decor that was popular around the late 1950's early 1960's.

[@FrankiesFancy]

It appears to have had a fire in the heating unit in the basement...all that "dirt" is smoke damage. You can clearly see it heavily in the kitchen on the top shelf where you see where plates and pitchers were and you can see smoke on the walls around the heat registers in the bedrooms.

[@ivyseal5161]

what a great video and what a great home i there is nothing wrong with the main house so it was built in the 1800s but a little spit and polish and a lot of TLC and it would come up brand new as for the guest house that be ideal as a great place for an extended family as for the basement put a bit of work into it and you can make that into a kids play area so i can't see why they need to tear it down .but other than a great find and a great video and see you in the next video

[@DragonzLyfe]

It's always the single chair, the door opening up on its own or the doll pointing out of the window 😂. You'll have to go back and go in the kitchen trap door.

[@ellennewth6305]

I'm guessing that trap door probably leads to a root cellar. (Common in 1890).

[@clairefunnell8481]

A real beauty here Ethan. Love it and the Guest house. Bummer it doesn't have Heritage Status. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@anthonyfeeney1210]

Have a Beer on Anthony 👍

[@susanclark754]

Yeah I agree definitely a dairy farm

[@MistyLaneLoveConquersALL]

Did you go in that floor door? I had to walk away but searched. I am thinking you just went down the stairs to it instead?

[@theresaciba632]

That room with all the wood in it was where they kept the wood for the wood stove probably had a wood stove for cooking too which is why all the soot was on the walls from the wood burning stoves and then probably had that room with the wood in it filled up too because that's what they used for everything😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 you're really good with your cars I'm impressed and you forgot the thing in the floor in the kitchen The Root Cellar I think it is

[@shariapplegate8015]

Looks like someone taking care of the grounds. Will manner. No growth around the house and yard
