I like how they had an electric candle in each window, even in the attic. It must have looked beautiful with them all lit up at night back in the day. Such a gorgeous house!

@alineheadlamp1899 Ай бұрын

Those stained glass window panels are totally awesome. Can't believe they will be destroyed with the demolition. A classy old place

@andrewbrendan1579 Ай бұрын

I hope someone with some sense and a sense of history will remove things from the house that are valuable and can be re-purposed. As it is, the waste of good things here is tragic.

I imagine they will have a salvage company come in prior to the demo, or they will lose a boatload of money

Some of the most beautiful fireplaces I've ever seen in here, even the slate roof is a beauty. At least the family had a big sale and didn't just leave everything to rot.

This one just brought tears. I noticed the candles still in the windows. Must have been beautiful at Christmas time. All the beautiful things still left inside. Just sickening. It needs to be saved not torn down. 😢

What a beautiful old home! It would take some engineering, lots of money and tons of effort, but it's not yet beyond saving. It just needs the right buyer.

I've been to a few estate sales, it's really kind of sad when you're going thru someones things, who are no longer alive. Usually once an estate sale is over anything not sold is either donated, or sold off for pennies on the dollar. I wonder why there is so much stuff left in this house. I can only imagine how glorious this house must have been in its day. Awesome..

Must have been a grand house back in the day. If they maintained it, this home would still be grand.

These mantles are some of the most beautiful you've shown us, the etching is really unique. There are some areas in this house that look untouched by the ravages of age, but i do wish whomever was in charge of the estate sale would have cleared out the stuff that didn't sell. Just love the interior shutters on the windows! And oddly enough, i once owned the shower curtain with the yellow rosettes!

0:31 some huge bird is at home there - raven, crow? Beautiful scenery. 9:06 that range in the kitchen looks unique - 1960's? 16:00 slides from their travels 21:16 child's model mill to play with also that table is still in it's box from the 1950's! The layout is impressive, would even work today with the high ceilings, open plan obsession. I wonder if it came from a spec book, you could choose the layout and someone would build it for you. Very nice family summer home. I think those stained glasses might have been a greenhouse, how they got them all into the attic I don't know.

My father passed away recently and the house and property that he and my mother had built needed to be sold. It was in a state of disrepair because my Dad could no longer do much and the garden and yard my Mom that was her pride and joy was overgrown from years of neglect. I told the realtor that my hope was to find a buyer who would love it back to life again. Thanks to God and both her and her colleague they found a couple with two young children who had a landscaping business. They had great plans to make the house and property shine once again. I think my parents would be be very pleased. 😊

The pictures/negatives you found aren’t that old-‘old’ being relative, of course😅. They are slides. We used to have slide projectors which you could load up with slides, then project them onto a blank screen. People would show pictures they took on vacation, etc. in that way.

Transom’s over every door. Huge ceilings, this place just took my breath away. Also noticed electric candles in almost all the windows right up to that phenomenal attic. Seeing that walker and what looked like a shower seat almost tells the story of the last remaining occupants of this home.
