Totally Stunning Packed 200 year old Forgotten Jasper Mansion Up North in New Jersey

This incredible old farm house was built between 1790-1800 for a modestly wealthy family that owned and operated a grist mill in the nearby town. The farm would remain in the same family for over a century. Then the house would transfer hands a number of times throughout the 20th century until ending up forgotten and in disrepair. Originally the front of the house had a large porch and veranda which has since collapsed. Fortunately some of the beautiful original architectural details remain inside like the hand carved fireplace mantels and a unique marble mantel which was quarried nearby. Such a cool huge old stone house on a cold snowy day. Thanks for watching, like and leave a comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!

Three once very beautiful homes, now left to rot away. Such a shame. Imagine when these homes were in their prime - how cozy, warm, and comforting they would have been with thick stone walls, large fireplaces and built-in cabinets. The details all throughout, such as the paneled sides of the window sills and the details of the fireplace mantles, just add to the warm charm of these homes. Nothing like these being built today, where developers just slap up generic vinyl boxes jammed in next to each other, and then paint everything white, and charge a fortune for them. I really enjoy your work Cappy.

[@williebeamish5879]

Most new construction reminds me of the personality of communist block housing in Eastern Europ, but that was built to last, here it won't. Even the more expensive new homes lack woodwork or any craftsmanship from what I've seen. So sad.

In my opinion. That house was built around 1790, judging by it's overall look and grandeur. The fireplaces are huge.

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you Kappy!!! 3 grand homes in different stages of ruin. Once the roof goes the rest of the house goes too😢 That first house was incredible and could be restored easier than the others. The upholstered walls and door were so much work!!! The turquoise room with the antiques was a real zinger. The organ and grand piano made me cry. In the house with the missing floor from under the stairs: what a mystery! So sorry for your loss of Chewie. Thank you for the pics! “Freed from his fetters and fastened to the skies” - we never get over such a loss, just grow around it.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 that's most likely the right age. Those were really popular back when ladies really dressed up. The full length made it easy to check the back and make sure everything was in place. Ladies would keep their jewelry in the drawers as well as grooming products. I don't remember it looking art deco so late 1890s to about 1920s would be a good guess. Most definitely more than 100 years.

It took me so long to get through this video because I stopped every ten seconds to absorb just how picturesque these grand houses were. The first one really was stunning as you say. The pile of paranormal books in front of the fireplace was funny. I can see myself sitting there with a fire going, reading some of them. Love the big windows and the upstairs office with the old office equipment and kidney-shaped desk. The fireplaces here are some of my favorites you've ever found. Glad you didn't stay in the attic long, that air was not healthy for you to breathe. The last two were beautiful skeletons. Great video Kappy, made my day.

[@makeupboss3568]

The transoms over the doors , crown molding, some beautiful pieces in these places. It’s like stepping back in time … when I was younger I lived in Blair County here in Pennsylvania, in a huge Italianate … circa “ 1867 “ and built by Andrew Meier . The place was so beautiful to live in , it made me feel like I was living in luxury. It’s a shame that these places are in such bad condition, but they’re still “ gems “ of history. Thanks for the adventure, Kappy !

[@rockybernard2997]

That first structure was really something! I read they call those basement potties "Pittsburgh potties' and that was a popular thing a very long time ago in that area. All those books point to a literary soul (and we read them all!) but in the UFO room, those multiple covers of the same book suggests either an editor, publisher or author at work there. The first room certainly had the flavor of a workspace and would have been a lovely place to do mental tasks! Please, when you see those original door latches and handles, Kappy, could you gives us a still or in-depth look at such fixtures (especially those hand forged 'latch and lever' pieces!)? Image a door latch that lasts centuries, before the 'planned obsolescence' we're forced to suffer with today's society! That third house certainly suffered significant structural damage and I wonder if the installation of the plumbing was the first insult to weaken it. Certainly is curious how crippled it has become! TY for taking us along on your explorations. Really interesting (and sometimes ignites some warm memories!) Stay safe out there and God Bless!

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

The first house's character, if it ever had any, was almost completely eclipsed by the thousands of paperbacks which someone left behind. I would love to have seen the house before those arrived. Still, its fireplaces were nicely appointed and the exterior is or was very lovely. Sadly, the house is too far gone to do much now. 😢 The second house makes the first look really great! It gives few clues as to its original layout of rooms, but the lovely fireplaces and the delicate moldings at the entrance you used support the possibility that this house was once quite grand. You are only twenty years to late to know for sure, though, intrepid explorer. Okay, on to house number three! The fiest room exhibits the deep exterior walls which indicate thick walls. The fireplace is quite lovely, even graceful. Holy cave-in, Kapman! That's one heck of a first step! What a shame you can't access the remainder of the house! This house is the best of the three shown, at least from an architectural standpoint. The ruined staircase is very beautiful and I've got a suspicion that the rest of the house is equally lovely. Aw, those short shots of other houses are sweet! Hope we can go through them later! All in all, Kappy, these were interesting explorations. Thank for finding them! All that snow made me shiver! Things here are finding their equilibrium, slowly. Hope your world is regaining its normal rhythms, too. Much love to you, dear boy, from East Tennessee.
