The Incredible Abandoned Civil War Lieutenants Family Mansion Left Forgotten Down South *Built 1850

[@cherylculbertson9414]

There are so many beautiful antiques left behind in this beautiful old home. I can’t understand why someone doesn’t get them before they ruin. Such a shame!!

[@rickreese5794]

@@cherylculbertson9414 Not their property ?😎🤷🏿‍♂️🤔

[@amitisshahbanu5642]

That red sofa @ 4:34 is an easy professional reupholster. Old as the house, it is probably horsehair but better historic design fabrics you can buy in a fabric warehouse for yourself and give the upholsterer for the job. Might save some. Paid 600 for a larger, more complicated job maybe a decade ago.

[@CK-tz8ek]

I agree. I would never consider stealing but part of me thinks I should reconsider this stance seeing how many beautiful abandoned pieces there are. Somebody owns that property.

Ir,s a shame that such exspensive pieces are left to rot!, but if you take them, the spirits will follow you and persuade you until you bring it back!, spirits ARE REAL, the soul is very real, and spirits go back to the home they once lived in, so they are watching, it was most likely one of them made that noise!!, leave everything as you found it or the spirits will be very ANGRY! LOL 💜👊

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

Goodness! Those antiques need to be saved before they're ruined beyond salvation and usability! I saw several pieces that I'd love to have, including all the antique light fixtures! WOW! What a beautiful house! 8:35 is a men's shaving kit.

[@jared1870]

Wow! I loved the woodwork and the basement. The house seems to have been updated in the 1950s but it was interesting to see where paper fell to see the older wallpaper. From the contents it appears that habitation ended in the 1960s. The house may be too far gone to save but I hope the owners salvage those fine pieces of furniture and the photos, etc, that haven't been ruined by the elements. Thanks once again, Kappy!

That was a beauty at one time. I loved the windows, and so many antiques. I imagine the couple that lived there had no children. So when they died, the house has been sitting there, and that is why, it is what it is today. Very sad.

[@tamieckert4548]

Hi Kappy👍 Yes! This is a yesterdream house, And does remind me of the plantation house my family moved into years ago, there were staircases, and one had a small room bigger than a broom closet, big enough for a half bath. I used to hide from my Mom that was going through her change, but I was wrong, My Mom later on gave me a sister when I was 17, always wanted a sister, but living way in the country, we still got lots of company. There was so much to that house, but also had it’s legend of a wealthy Indian woman who let soldiers stay but they would come up missing. Different pathways in it and it of course was haunted for sure. Different things happened, but the weirdest thing was when I stayed down in the parlor next to the dining room where there was a large dining room set, my Mom got for a present, and as I woke up alone there, there were butlers and servants, maids all around serving people who looked like they were from the 1800s, I rubbed my eyes and ran out the side porch. Went back in and they weren’t there anymore and my family was still sleeping at the time😳😱😁

[@CharlotteBarbour-k2k]

I saw this house some years back and I so hoped someone would restore it. So sad that no one and now just more decay. Thank you so much Kappy I have been watching you for years and you just get better every year. Great photography!

[@jillwiegand4257]

Wow, the antiques left behind will be ruined very soon with the ceiling coming down. That home was built to last forever and would have if it was kept up. The land is beautiful as well. Looks like they were there and just left. Looks so homey! You can imagine before the damage, how beautiful it was. I would have loved to see some of the framed pictures up close! Excellent tour ❤

[@user-randi1987]

OMG... So beautiful. The antiques...That was a shaving kit you saw and wondered about with the brush for cream and an old timey electric razor. This was a jewel. I just can't believe there was no one to care about it. So sad... Such a beautiful property too. The camellias were lovely. It looked so well built with the finished basement and attic. Unbelievable. You are the best Kappy!!! You never disappoint, and your videos are soothing and relaxing. You really give a "feel' of the place. So enjoyable... Thank you so much.

Photo's tell a lot about this families history.. when I saw the deer head and the gun rack I knew the man of the house was a hunter and I started watching to see the canning jars and canning storage and was not surprised when I saw it in the basement. The man was also a doctor of some kind from the books on biology and medicine. The coat with the eagles I'm guessing was a military coat.

I have questions. Lots of questions, about this house, and I usually *don't* have questions. In what state is this house? What county? Was the first owner a doctor, and had a child(ren) who became doctors? The coat with the eagle buttons is a wool, military coat. An old man died downstairs, and there were no relatives? It's as if he died, and a caretaker locked the door before she left. The plants outside seem to be pressing against the house to protect it. Is this house all alone, in the woods? Does anybody own it now? Yes, this one got to me, with all of its unanswered , "whys." Too many questions. Thanks for the tour!
