Urbex: UNIQUE ABANDONED Stone Farm House

[@sedoragreen8028]

A huge THANK YOU for not looking in each and every toilet you find! And for not making dumb, childish squeaky noises. You videos are very well done and always respectful, and you find some very cool places. Awesome job. Thank you for sharing.

[@synclairesibella5877]

That house would be a great restoration project! So well worth it!

[@countdracula5433]

I think the walls and ceiling were covered in tin. I have Lincrusta, and it would crumble with all the dampness. The window sills are wide because the house has very thick exterior walls......the wood work around the windows is slanted to allow as much daylight in as possible.

[@misstrish0708]

It always breaks my heart seeing these houses just sitting around falling down.. They can be used in so many ways to help people, but instead, they are left to rot to the point that nothing can be done with them.. So sad.

[@BeckyBandJesus]

They could be converted into very nice homes for homeless people or homeless families. Instead, they are left to rot or torn down for new homes for the rich or those who have a good size income.

[@Improbable_Fiction]

vintagerosenz It takes money to do all that. Much easier said then done.

[@BeckyBandJesus]

The money suddenly exists for building other things :/ people just don't care. That's all it is

[@Improbable_Fiction]

vintagerosenz So if it's so easy and you care so much, then buy these houses yourself, fix them up and do what you want with them.

[@misstrish0708]

AnImprobableFiction Ok, my comment wasn't posted to argue. I was stating my opinion, which vintagerosenz agrees with.. You have a different out look on it, and fine.. Not everyone agrees with the same thing and that is fine..

[@rubberbandshee2188]

What a beautiful place, solid and very worth saving, the interior woodwork is stunning.

[@kletterman]

What a beautiful house. All it needs is a hug, and a family to love it.

[@sheapiland8779]

This house would be really adorable fixed up. Love the crown molding, wide window casements, and floor plan. The property itself is really pretty and serene as well. Hopefully someone will come along and restore this gem.

[@GentleRain21]

What style and charm these old buildings have. This is a lovely house.

[@teenie4242]

I could see so much beauty in this old house. Thank you for your explorations.

[@pinkapplerose]

I just wanted to say a big thank you for filming your adventures for us. It's great to be able to share your experiences, and your videos are a joy to watch - you're so respectful to the buildings, and you present in such a calm and informative manner. You're definitely my favourite explorer on KZbin!

[@MegaMouse30]

This was an amazing tour; I stumbled across it because I thought I saw all your video's already so I'm double checking now; I love the decorative sheet metal upstairs, you don't see that much in homes anymore. Thank you for the wonderful tour tiki. :)

[@dhunters5]

I am in LOVE with this one!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Skooterbird]

I would love to have seen this house in all its glory...I love the windows and the sills. TFS. pat

[@TheJanis302000]

love how you find beauty in the most torn up houses

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

I must thank you so much for doing these explorations and posting them. Very interesting. Please be careful.

[@cwb0051]

What a Beautiful old stone home, just love thoe, did it have a date on the front? As Always Great Job Pam, thanks for braving the rain and sharing..Stay Safe!..

[@abandonedsc4261]

very cool find. I don't think I've seen the use of tin tiles used as much as here. I don't know if it was already brought up in the comments before My apologizes if it has But these type tin tiles were used at least here in the southern U.S mainly as ceiling tiles in old commercial buildings such as stores bars restaurants ETC was popular from around 1890's-1920's I loved the wood work as well as the stone construction! what a great tip. Thanks for checking it out and sharing it with us Pam! Stay safe!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks for stopping by, Jason. You stay safe as well!

[@atheistpsyconaut42]

Came here to say this about the tin tiles.

[@dawnamoon]

smaller tiles like that can be bought here in Home Depot. I've seen the old fashioned ones in older shops here in Canada as well

[@athraxious]

AbandonedSC There are still a few companies that make these tin tiles. We are putting some in as reflectors behind our wood stove.

[@tarsneyisleestrelas4659]

What a stunning looking house,has a Scottish look from the front view,thick walls hence the deep windows,bet that was a beautiful home when it was lived in,one I would love to do up.great vid again,

[@andrewbrendan1579]

In the opening I'm certain we're seeing the original front of the house. In the bay (?) that has the center window you can see a sill below the window and just above the foundation. I'm sure that window area is a partially-filled doorway. The floor plan goes along with that: the more elaborate room by the window could have been the good parlor where guests were received after entering the house via the front door. This house is way too good to not be used.

[@rj32]

Great video, and amazing house. Thumbs up!.

[@TikiTrex]

rj32 Thanks!

[@OttoWeber71]

+TikiTrex Glaciacion is nothing. Seven were there. At least, TikiRex. :D

[@OttoWeber71]

+TikiTrex That superbe house needs an anti-radiaton for 24 hours. To keep down the shit.

[@transdetendal]

looks like a house from around 1800 and the newer part from 1920´s really nice house

[@kittensugars]

that place was amazing....gorgeous wood work and moulding, and the medallion on the ceiling, WOW. Even those vintage door knobs are still there. what a place. I would love to have it and make it pretty again. Thx for the vid!

[@tealapowell5241]

Hey Pam! That was a great find there!! What a unique house with a lot of character. I loved the woodwork & windows! It didn't appear to be in too bad of shape. It would be a shame if it was demolished. I hope that's not in its' future. You did a great job as always with your tour. Your attention to detail is the best!! Thanks for sharing and Take Care!! :)

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Teala! Appreciated as always :)

[@CuteCatFaith]

I think it could be saved, but at least, taken apart very carefully -- looks like a lot of good, old, very valuable materials. That tin work and those stones are amazing.

[@mag44ie]

As always! a pleasure to share your urban adventures. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulybouy.163]

Omg that second floor tin is amazing

[@pitt64jobar]

What a beautiful house with all the woodwork. I hope someone purchases it and bring it back to what it once was. The house looks like it is structurally sound, but needs a lot of repairs and cleanup. It can be done. Thanks for another great tour.

[@GrandWagJeep]

Wow, what a beautiful house. I think this is my new favorite of your explorations. The cat lady house has been bumped to number two.

[@joyfuldenay]

The cobblestone is gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along!

[@oheyimtay]

What a beautiful home! So sad to see it in that condition :( Love your videos!

[@moocowdad]

Nice find Tiki, in your and my area block homes like that are getting rarer.The thick stone is why the sills are so deep, and that stamped tin, while common here in Ontario in the 1800's for ceilings, was rare for walls .But....I must ask you buddy, wheres the spiders??? you always seem to find them!! :)

[@TikiTrex]

That's right - no spiders in this one OR Christmas decorations! Well, this was actually still a cold spring day, so that may be why there weren't any spiders yet. I can just imagine now. Yeah, I've never seen it on walls before.

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

Stunning home!!! Could you please start going through more of the outbuildings? Thanks!!

[@RawstrusLad]

Your videos are so interesting I have been watching them for quite a while now! Your voice is so calm and easy to listen to.

[@TikiTrex]

Glad to hear that. Thanks!

[@Crimson1231000]

Tha´s true and with the rain do this perfect.

[@geneconlon9728]

Sorry Rawstrus and Tiki but I have to disagree. Too much blah, blah, blah .... I actually muted it and let the building speak for itself. Sometimes less is more. But you do have a sweet voice. Still a fan.

[@SHZ4201]

I enjoy all of your videos. This house is awesome. I love unique old houses, which unfortunately, are harder and harder to find in the USA. Thank you for sharing.

[@animegirl968]

Another wonderful find :) I'm surprised to see those tin tiles used as wall paneling, as mentioned already they're usually used on ceilings- including in my grandpa's house.

[@joannesabourin1108]

I remember that wall covering from my grandmother's house, they used to put it behing wood stoves. Loved the layout, today's houses should be built this well. Just love the window moldings.

[@chrissz1762]

I wish I had the money to buy this and fix it up,looks nice and love the big yard.

[@Kat4u2]

.. As always another Awesome Video !! .. Thanks for sharing w/ us all .

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Kat!

[@Thomaz654]

Thanks for the video Tiki - great as always - I love those windows

[@gracetoth2258]

I love watching your videos! I don't live in Canada but I love to go house exploring. We have an old farm house right across the street that some neighbors were renovating and we got to look inside. Just the little bits of character always interest me. I guess they found a child's learning book back from the 1800's while fixing the wall which was cool to hear! Thanks for the videos, my Dad and I love them!

[@RBPx1]

Great old place Pam, Thanks for another awesome video! Keep up the cool work.

[@selener4973]

Lots of lovely touches. So sad to see it torn up. You are brave and do excellent videos. I would be jumping out of my shoes at every sound. Love how you always like the detail I also love to see. You're the best. Stay safe and thank you

[@TheOrangeupurple]

Loved this house . . especially with those deep windows, perfect for climbing into and reading. Thanks for the share!

[@aleeaahh5252]

thank you for posting these videos! they're so interesting and are actually the reason i started making videos, can't wait to see more :)

[@candlegirl1973]

Beautiful home. I'd love to fix it up.

[@Wistful77]

What a fantastic home. How could a family leave that behind? I'd love to have a home like that! Thanks for going out in the rain to show us this unique building.

[@Cz007_]

Wonderful videos as always. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@mangojaneify]

Hi Pam! Great video. The deep window sills are usually in older houses that are built with heavy logs. They really are interesting. That's a beautiful old place, too bad it has been vandalized so much. I doesn't look like it would take too much to fix it back up again. I love to see old houses like that and try to imagine how it must have been to live there. Thanks! Margo

[@woolncathairs]

Those designs you were admiring are pressed tin ceiling tiles. They were popular here in the states around 1900s and made a big comeback in the 1980s. The people who owned that lovely old house kind of went overboard. I agree with the comments here - it breaks my heart to see all that solid beautiful wood just rotting when these houses could be brought back and made cozy again. Thanks for the videos - I so enjoy them!

[@workonitm8]

That had been a very nice, very well built house at one time. I believe it could be restored and made livable again. The out buildings aren't in too bad a condition either. Makes one wonder what happened that caused it to be abandoned. Thanks Pam, this will be one of the more memorable ones.

[@RJL738]

Thank you for taking the time to get this.

[@c300g]

a very common style of stone house in ontario... thick stone walls, 2 staircases, high ceilings etc. most houses of this era had 2 stairs. one was a servants staircase, usually leading to the kitchen while the other was the main staircase.

[@elsiebailey5469]

Awesome windows! Thank you for the tour!

[@TikiTrex]

+Debbie B My pleasure, Debbie!

[@madebyJake12]

Wow! there must be alot of abandoned gothic revival style houses where you live! I'm actually in the process of building a small gothic revival style farmhouse and your videos really help show some great details of these beauties. Keep up the great videos! -Jake

[@carolehayden8566]

Someone loved that house. Obviously horribly abused by vandals. Tiki-Pam....they didn't even leave the obligatory chair. I am crestfallen. Such a great place and your video is too. The rain added just the right "noir" aura. Thanks so much.

[@summerfields2291]

Don't you think often times it is the distraught and angry owners who vandalize the properties because the bank repossessed the house on them? What disgusts me is that these greedy banks would rather see these houses sitting empty than figure out a way to work with the owners to keep their homes. Selfish and evil.

[@kendramiller1830]

summer fields Or it could be horrible tenets. My brother bought a house for the property that it was on. The house had been vandalized by the people who had been renting. ... Some of the things were really bad... such as they found human feces on the carpet in the middle of the living room...

[@summerfields2291]

Disgusting!

[@dankowolf]

Beautiful vintage home. Hope someone saves it.

[@Davidjames70]

What amazing potential! I loved the huge deep window frames. The tall ceilings added real character to the rooms. This one didn't seem too far gone yet , however we all know in just a short period of time the elements can take hold and destroy a structure quickly.Very nice land around this house too. I noticed a blue plastic sled in the barn and seeing that there were two boys there I bet they had some fun winters!

[@foomanchu7414]

It's like tin tiles threw up on that mi t colored room, lol but I must say I would love a few of those and that ceiling fixture plate downstairs Great video btw as ever

[@kamtrup]

Nice house. Thank you for sharing it with us, Tiki. Stay safe. Ole from Denmark.

[@TikiTrex]

The pleasure is all mine, Ole! Thank you for your comment. :)

[@AbandonedSteve]

another fine job on the video Tiki! Unique architecture..

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Steve!

[@rickster348]

-Thanks for taking us along.

[@jimwhite3458]

Those are patterned tin wall & ceiling coverings...The artificial stone work is of the same material....very common in older homes....Thick walls because it is a stone house - Thanks for the tour. Jim White

[@dsbup]

Another great video, Pam. This house looks like there could be hope for it. I believe you are right about the back part being added on later. The front part, from the woodwork, window sills, and the tin wall coverings and high ceilings, probably dates from the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. Reminds me of my grandparents' place, which was from around 1912.

[@chawer52]

Another great video. I loved seeing the Tin panels. They still make them today. You can buy cheaper ones made of aluminium or the repro Tin which is much more expensive. Around my area some folks use the Aluminum panels to go around the bottoms of mobile homes to seal them from the weather. Original Tin panels, which if recycled are worth quite a bit of money, will have rust spots on them when left partially in the elements as these were. Since Aluminum does not rust it can sometimes be an easy way to tell. The vandals were wasting time with copper when the real money is on the walls and ceilings. I hope they never find out. Great job. Charlie

[@TikiTrex]

I appreciate the information on the tin panels. Thanks, Charlie!

[@CuteCatFaith]

I know, I spotted that right away. The tin panels can be carefully removed, stripped, restored, redone and are good to go again. Fine stuff. I had a business here in Paris, France where I'd locate serious fixtures for people around the world. The restoration, shipping, everything could be handled by pros here. It wasn't cheap but then you've got something which is an heirloom. We had an ancient grain storage stone building collapse near one of our French country family properties. It wasn't actually ours and a family member owned that land and was unwilling to pay for removal. (It nearly crushed the family car, long story.) We were able to have it removed for free over time by a married couple who were having a mason do work on their abode in Brittany. It was all out within six weeks and they worked every weekend for 12 hours a day loading the stones, which were incredibly valuable, onto a small truck and then repeating the process at their place to unload. Everyone was happy. It's ashame to see stuff crushed into common gravel or worse, just ditched. I regret I was not more insistent and didn't haul out a gorgeous farm bed from one place (but it wasn't ours, I understood the dilemma) but I did get wooden shoes and a lot of huge crocks with lids. Scary going in there and potentially deadly. Once the roof goes in a place, it's toast.

[@RiverofLife95]

gorgeous house, wish it was restored!

[@supermoodydealwithit]

Just finding your channel. What an absolutely beautiful old house. I would love to get my hands on it!

[@AlexandraPeters70]

Great Video & Amazing Farm House. :) Cozy......

[@Missfireblossom]

Pam brings the awesome again. Thanks, girl.

[@Daniel28021991]

Beautiful house!

[@caroljcarp]

Someone loved this house at one time. So many details went into the architecture, like those totally cool window frames! I've seen deep window sills, but usually only on the outside walls, never on the inside between 2 rooms. Hmm... maybe that was where the addition was put on, and that's why. Wonderful places for cats to sit and look around! :)

[@dawnnoldorin5370]

Tiki trex you are the best I love watching people go through abandoned buildings

[@crunchysuperman]

Some nice woodworking in that house - love the windows. Thanks for the video.

[@poindexter1387]

Obviously....another great video! Love the window frames. As always trying to picture what these homes look like in their prime. Thanks for posting, Have a Great Christmas and New Year.... 🎄🎁🎉😘

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you as always, Frank! A great Christmas and New Year to you as well. :)

[@Avotts]

+TikiTrex please see the publ I c comment i made on the stone ho u se in the middle of town

[@megsimpson7736]

Great video! What an incredible amount of work must have gone into building this house (probably in the late 1800s!) The stonework is definitely a lost art. and the woodwork, cathedral windows and tinwork is amazing - thank you for taking the time to show such great close-ups. Someone suggested that your work would make an great TV series - I agree!!

[@TikiTrex]

Wow, that is quite the compliment, and I appreciate it, Meg. Thank you! :)

[@CuteCatFaith]

All of that tin should be carefully salvaged. It can be stripped, refinished and reused and the stuff is valuable, indeed. Places in NYC with tin ceilings were valued -- this was mid-to-late 19th c. This place was modest and solid and was thoughtfully added on to. It's really a shame it is abandoned. One wonders what happened. I had two tin-ceilinged apartments in NYC c. 1860s and one still had the old gaslight fixtures evident. Both were coldwater flats -- bathtub in the kitchen, was covered with a lid. The Norwegian pine boards in the cupboards were worth 200 USD each back in the late '70s already. This house could probably be saved -- the stuff which may have to go, you have all that pressed tin which could be saved, et c. That's likely a purple martin birdhouse. You put those way, way up on a pole and they really keep your mosquitoes and flies at bay. Smart people had at least one. The birds didn't need any help, just to be left alone way up there. Uprated.

[@marycummings7616]

Love this house! Looks like it could be fixed up to be a home again! Wouldn't that be fun??!!

[@matooleyobrien2918]

Tiki you are awesome! Love your videos and you have a beautiful voice : )

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you so much, Matooley. :)

[@caroljcarp]

***** I like your voice, too. And I'm not used to hearing Canadians speak, so you're a real treat!

[@TikiTrex]

Carol Carpenter Thank you, Carol! :)

[@caroljcarp]

You're very welcome!

[@darlon9552]

These videos of yours always fascinate me and I love the way you give either the history and facts that you know. Do you ever get nervous going into these bits of history we called lost places?

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks. There's always a healthy fear of the unknown. I'm sure every explorer feels it, and that's part of the thrill.

[@rockwoodsteel]

Thanks again for another good vid, interesting looking old house. I always try to picture how it must of been when it was still in nice shape and decorated and lived in.

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

What a beautiful home! Love the wood & tin work

[@chriswilkinson1541]

Love your videos so much. Thanks for everything you do! Keep up the great work!

[@TikiTrex]

I'm happy to hear that, Chris! Thanks for your comment :)

[@jimsoutdooradventures2748]

Lets see what type of implements they don't have in here,lol, I love it!! Another great video Pam.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Jim! lol

[@McAVITYourWay.]

Hi Pam, What a charming house this one is! the outside stonework is beautiful, i`m not so keen on the newer work though, but to be fair I suppose it would have been to expensive to match it to the original. but yet again this property would not be to difficult to restore, I would be happy to live there. Have you got a new camera? the auto focus was working overtime lol Thank you for another interesting walk through. Mick

[@TikiTrex]

I hear ya on the focus, Mick! lol It was acting very lazy this day. I don't think the rain outside helped as much as I tried to dry the lens. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. :)

[@TraditionalHymns]

***** I'm just thinking "Focus, focus!" as I hope the camera doesn't move too much before I get a good look. :)

[@alibabafurball]

That chip board and kitchen do have to exit the building. I saw the kitchen and imediately wondered where the oven block and stove would have been. The earliest kitchen original i saw here in Canada was a 1922 kitchen. I would love to see a period kitchen of this age in Canada.

[@cheywitwer5224]

The thickness of the sills on the stone house are directly proportionate to the size of the stones used. So the stone in the walls are about as thick as what the walls are. In my house the sills are over two feet thick. Love your videos!

[@annieann4527]

Looks like it was an amazing house. Beautiful features.

[@brandyruffin6086]

I miss your explores! Your awesome! Camera alway aims were I’m trying to look! Great houses.

[@TheCopperbaron]

another remarkable video. Thanks for sharing Pam

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Brian!

[@jmarylastone]

love love love it - well worth saving

[@LostandFound4U]

Thank you Tiki , I enjoyed this one very much.

[@redneckbryon]

Cool Place The deep masonry walls help to keep the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I partially agree with you about the back half of the house most likely it was just renovated I did see newer windows in that area but from the basement it did look a little bit older and same with the upstairs, most likely built after the front half but and renovated within the last 20 years.

[@crosmas]

and it does look like a 19th century addition for sure :)

[@carolinejones5897]

Love your videos the smaller stairs going up in older houses is for the servants

[@Stewy359]

Enjoy your videos Pam! I do hope your not alone when filming. :)

[@ginamaria2579]

Was this house featured on one of those haunted shows, it hit me when you looked out to the driveway ? Beautiful woodwork, sad no one wants it ! Thank you for sharing ALWAYS enjoy these ......

[@TikiTrex]

Not that I'm aware of, Gina. Glad you are enjoying my videos, though. Always a pleasure!

[@OnButterflyMornings]

What an interesting find. Thank you for sharing.

[@StephanieBacks]

I wonder if it was an older house that was moved and attached to the stone house. That would explain the tin detailing. Gorgeous, would buy it and redo it

[@RichieRouge206]

Another lovely property gone to waste. Never fails to sadden me to see these. Great video as always :D

[@shaunkitson6941]

I was driving home from work today and i thought to myself "I wonder when Pam is going to post another AWSOME video"....and look what happend. Fantastic house. Is it a love for houses and/or architecture, or a fascination with abandoned buildings that you have?

[@Improbable_Fiction]

There should be no wonder involved, she posts a new video every 2 weeks.

[@shaunkitson6941]

Huh. Thanx for ponting that out...I never did the math.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Shaun! My fascination is actually for anything abandoned, no matter what type of building. :)

[@paulybouy.163]

You really, truly bring the best !!

[@76southernpride]

with the kitchen looking fairly new, i wonder if the add on, or renovate, was too much, and they couldn't afford to keep the place. it really is a beautiful house, especially the stone outside, and all the woodwork inside. great find.
