Stunning 100 year old Abandoned Horace-Taylor Tudor Revival House Down South

[@wannaduckfin]

All those years and the owners didn't ruin it with 'modernizing' such as knocking down the walls for 'open spaces'. Amazing

[@francoamerican4632]

Nice to see a house in its original form, bummer that this house will likely be torn down by developers.

[@lisal6996]

It is so heartbreaking that so many once gorgeous homes are abandoned to the point of no return 😢

[@lonwaslien104]

Beautiful house. Looks like it still has good bones for restoration!

[@melissah4515]

Beautiful house, built to last! Brick Tudor on the outside and Craftsman on the inside, so unique. The windows are fabulous and love the dark woodwork and built-ins. Love the huge kitchen, old farmer's sink and old appliances, I think that's a Flair combo range: "Flair ranges: New! Exciting! Years ahead! You’ll feel like a queen! (1960)". I would finish the top floor into a huge bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in closet. I want this house! Excited for the upcoming videos. 🥰

[@melissaboggs5176]

NICE!!! Love the windows and the fireplaces. The graffiti though…😳. That just drives me nuts! If these people would get out and get a job, they would’ve have time to destroy property. As always, stay safe Kappy and thank you for bringing us another beautiful home. ❤️

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

It is such a shame! I appreciate the kind words always and thank ya for watching! :)

[@wannaduckfin]

Amen

[@trudirrinhard508]

Other than the graffiti I feel this house could be saved So glad Kappy that you saved it in your videos thanks for saving it!

[@karenbianco1084]

The woodwork is so beautiful! I saved my 1908 4 square brick. It has this beautiful wood throughout! Huge pocket doors too! This house is definitely worth saving! Please someone needs to save it 🙏

[@dartlanddunbar5842]

Wow! A friend of mine lives in a similar house. Those are heating (now HVAC) vents, the attic stairs behind the door with the cedar lined closet underneath are exactly like their house. Same windows and slate roof with a larger main floor footprint, but no water in the basement. The basement is same as main floor. I can't understand why nobody wants this beautiful house and why the bank just let's it sit abandoned. 🙋‍♀️🍁😊

[@patmurphy389]

That house was extremely well built! I didn't notice any leaks in the roof or anything. Thank you Kappy for taking us with you!

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

That was a heat register in the bathroom. Such a beautiful home. Too bad the bank hasn't tried to sell it cheap for someone to restore it. Beautiful windows!! Very well built! Ohhh...thats why its abandoned. Too bad the basement is flooded. 😐

[@DarcySteele]

I agree. I can’t figure out why the bank didn’t it sell it to someone. The attic is huge! It’s nice to see how strong the house is!

[@destinyglenn5218]

The foreclosure department at banks ask too much money and don't really care if it's sold or not. It also might not be able to be fixed up to live in.

[@susiek.johnson3923]

This house is so well built. I hope somebody sees its potential. Just beautiful.

[@jamescarnes5550]

Absolutely gorgeous a little TLC is all it needs

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

That and the basement too be drained! Thanks for watching!

[@shellyblack4727]

There was the exact same oven when I lived in a farm house in NC back in the 80's- the stovetop is there- it pulls out( like a drawer) under the ovens. It was cool!

[@paulinegulas3565]

My house is 100 years old,it was built in 1921 by my great grandparents when they came from Hungary,it was passed on to grandparents,to father and now I have it, it is a shame how houses are let go of, it was pretty on the inside,except were it’s been damaged

[@ndewey7]

The absolute disappointment in his voice when he sees a basement cracks me up. I appreciate you going down in those for us. Always look forward to your videos 👍.

[@jilldavis7229]

Loved, loved, loved this beautiful place!!! Loved the exterior brickwork, window, window casings, doors, door casings, circular driveway, ceilings height & door hardware!!! I would love to see this place updated, new roof, wiring, plumbing & could totally be lived in today!!! Sad that it has been vandalized 😰😢😞 Sooo sad that those who vandalize, can’t find more satisfaction by enhancing, rather than destroying a property!!! They would get sooo much more satisfaction out of it!!! Thank you Kappy for sharing this wonderful adventure with us!!! I loved it ❤️💕♥️

[@sammyjo8109]

Many old houses have no or little flooring in the attic. I see it all the time. This home is a gem. I wonder why it hasn't been put on the market to sell.

[@wendy833]

The sink in the hall and the kitchen are beautiful. That kitchen one with the drain boards on the side go for a few thousand. That smaller one is probably about 1500. The basement is brick, so if it was drained, it would be good. The foundation is solid as is the rest of the house. Considering the brats didn't go upstairs, I wonder if they found the stairs. Were there any bedrooms? Beautiful explore! Thanks!

[@djberkey5449]

We can only hope someone who sees this video knows someone who knows someone who would love to have this house and approaches the bank about purchasing it…Every time you use the words “old fashioned” makes me feel ancient! I don’t consider myself that old but so many things in these houses I grew up with! When I was little my parents had that fridge with the teeny tiny freezer! Brought back good memories! Thanks Kappy! Stay safe!

[@fireballxl-5748]

Under that dark stain is some really beautiful wood. My house was the same and I was able to sand it down and clear it. Came out great.....loads of work but great results.

[@gloriaswift3896]

A beautiful home! Love the woodwork and windows! Love the pantry for the kitchen too. Despite the flooded basement, the house appears to be in solid shape. Hope someone will restore it. Lawn is kept up, so maybe someone is looking after it? Thanks again for the peek inside Kappy! 😊

[@dombutler7685]

Thank Kappy, strange that the bank hasn't sold it, it's just going to deteriorate if it's left for much longer, it's such a well built house, looks more modern than it is.

[@sybileberhart3439]

Love the way you film, the nature shots, much like it was back when the houses were first lived in. Love the sounds of birds and wind blowing the trees. A simpler and harder time.

[@tamelaharsin7186]

That Tudor, he still had some debonair left in him! But I felt sadness throughout your video whenever you showed houses like the Tudor, it was so heartbreaking, but, those beautiful scene's at the end were really smashing! Brought up my spirits! 🤗❤️

[@susanmiller4159]

Tudor’s are alway unique. Missed this one! Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Always stall on those bathroom. People love them.

[@shellymiller7101]

The stove is the kitchen I loved my gram had the same one growing up. The burners pulled out and love the double ovens it was made in the 50’s. great house and video. Big thumbs up. This place should be saved

[@phxgidget]

Reminds me of my first house built in 1923. We lived there in the 50's when I was born. I google earth it every now & then. Its still standing in the middle of the block with decent houses around. Thanks for all you do & share!

[@beth16440]

Wow that Tudor is timeless. You can tell it could really be something special.

[@wannaduckfin]

Wow so many original architectural features are still there. Would be fabulous for someone to restore

[@jared1870]

That house is an incredible time capsule. Such a shame it is left to rot. Thanks for showing it.

[@stitchfixation211]

Love how you show the houses at the end. Peaceful. Yours are the best ive seen. No gurus plain and simple, and let the homes speak for themselves.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

That house was probably gorgeous back in it's day. A real showplace. Loved the hardware on the doors. Wish the send floor had been finished. I would have made it my room. Great video.

[@megfuchs9425]

I actually loved the enclosed winding stairs! I am sad that houses no longer have these. It is my favorite thing about old houses. Thank you for finding this house!

[@tammybaker6635]

You found a beautiful place young man! The vents were for heat. That's the way they used to look. The 2nd appliance was an oven. I didn't see a stove top. Loved the inside of that closet! That was cedar lined. Cedar was used a lot in closets because it deterred bugs. It's to bad the basement is so flooded. Another great one Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!

[@Chrisss2112]

Lovely house from the outside, minus the boards on the windows, it has great curb appeal. Cool car port! Love the fact that the interior wasn’t updated, giving us a glimpse of the past. 👍 That second floor tho…👻👻

[@1927su]

Our old tutti house had the same heating vents/grates. Originally heated with coal it even had a coal room & a coal shoot outside for when coal was delivered.

[@virginiaeckley3047]

I can imagine how beautiful that house was back in the day

[@johngiampapa]

WOW what a find! I love that driveway with the carport. I’m so surprised that the second floor is an attic and unfinished! The roofline is so nice, very original house! Thank you! -John

[@lessismore6062]

This house could be restored provided the basement flooding issue was corrected first. Odd that the second floor was never finished.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

I thought it was strange as well considering the house was built in the early 1900’s. You’d think an owner by now would’ve put in drywall or something! Would make a neat bedroom! Thanks for watching!

[@JulianaBlewett]

@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 the upper floors weren't typically finished when used as attic space. They didn't use insulation like we do nowadays.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

What a beautiful home and what a shame it would be to tear it down. It's so nice to see so much of the original interior still intact - that doesn't happen very often in this day and age. Isn't there some preservation society that could do something to save it?

That house is so beautiful. Too bad about the basement, maybe that problem is why it was abandoned. The Tudor houses around here are all alike and very boring, like square boxes with small rooms. This one is so charming and unique. I love the large walk in pantry with a big window!

That stove was iconic. It was the Bewitched over and stove (on the tv show) you would pull the draw out for your burner's. I looked at one on ebay ....they had one for $5000.00 dollars.

[@kimmckeever9001]

What a beautiful house. I’ve always wanted a Tudor style home and to see this sitting empty and slowly rotting makes me sad. I bet all those appliances still work. I was thinking once they shut the power off to the house the sump pump no longer works to get rid of water in basement. Might be too much damage from that water to save the house. Great work Kappy. Thanks for another great video.

[@marjorieguajardo4920]

Wow beautiful house. The 2nd floor was a little disappointing cuz of not being finished. But still has great potential to the right buyer. Hope someone snatches this one up before its to late.

[@helenarubio3371]

I think the upstairs might have been finished at 1 time. All these homes featured take my breath away. thank you!

[@jaybird185]

Ah, another wonderful video from Kappy to start the weekend! I like them all, but this one was special. Just beautiful. Someone might find out why the basement is flooded, fix it, and then have a grand house! Maybe the sump pump is broken, or there is no electric service so the sump pump can’t work. Worth fixing to my thinking. Thanks Kappy! You always do a great job! 😃

That cooking range, if you watch reruns of "Bewitched". She has one of these in her kitchen. The Horticultural company that I used to work for had one in their offices. Which was an old house.

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

Hey Kappy! Good intro on this house! You're sounding more professional all the time! This house looks great from the exterior and that slate roof looks to be in great shape. This house has a fairy tale vibe to it. Pretty, at least so far. I like the covered drive-up to it. That's always a nice addition. If this place was properly land aped, it would be much prettier. That bathroom could do without the pentagram, but it's bright and spacious. The brass grate in the wall may be a heating vent, judging by the turnkey at the top. Ooh, this one's a real mess and it just seems dark to me. Maybe it's the covered windows, but there's an oppressive air to this house. Meowza! You are so right, Kappy, that yawning chasm of a basement IS the stuff of nightmares! You'd be surprised how much these old appliances go for these days. Folks who are restoring old houses like this one want period appliances and are ready to lay out some serious money to get them. This is a great kitchen, with an abundance of room for a kitchen table. Your mystery appliance may be a wall oven. There wasn't a photo clear enough to tell. I really like the farmhouse sink in the kitchen! The kitchen of the house that currently lives in my dreams has just such a sink. Hey a second refrigerator! These folks were living high on the proverbial hog! Hmm. That roof's looks may be deceiving, from the damage to the ceiling. That is a lovely room with that large multi-pane window. I'll bet the light just streams in there. Okay, my sharp eyes just saw another brass grate. It definitely is for a heating and or cooling system, as there's an identical one near the door to the hall. That little corner staircase was to utilize space. It's actually copying those in much older houses. I like the abundance of woodwork in this house, but it needs color to soften the dark tones of the mahogany paint. It's so dark and foreboding. That's a cedar-lined closet, a luxury in the day this house was constructed. Those cornices were removed by the restorers or salvagers. I'll bet they were pretty once. The rooms are nice and large. The rooms must have been bright and airy. It's odd that those funny stairs are the only ones in the house. It does seem oddly unfinished upstairs. The house seems to be waiting, but for what? How sad that the house's basement is flooded! That would preclude any sane person from investing in this property. This was a nice explore, Kappy! Thanks for taking the time to show it to us! Missing the Ruby Girl, though. Maybe she'll put in an appearance soon. I've got one more round of diagnostics next week and, based on the results, surgery will be scheduled. Say a prayer for me, please? Looking forward to more great explorations, dear friend. Those teasers are amazing! I can hardly wait! Take good care of yourself. By the way, you are really becoming a great videographer, too, dear explorer. Those landscapes toward the end of the video are lovely! I liked the sunset over Big Muddy very much!
