Untouched Abandoned Mansion From 1888 Of Misses Pauline | Everything Left

With the price of a coffee cup a month you can help us explore the world ► / brosofdecay
Check out Explomo who explored with us: / @explomo
Around 15 years ago Pauline passed away of old age and left behind one of the most incredible abandoned places in the world. This place has everything from a dining room with countless chairs until a sitting room with a grand piano! Countless bedrooms and bathrooms and just all the things a human being needs to comfort himself. We went there to see how she lived and documented her incredible life and her love for beauty and flowers. She lived here her whole life with her husband Gerard. The manor dates back from 1888 and was presumably from a previous generation. Join us on this adventure and thanks in advance for watching the video!

Hey guys! The favorite part of my day...watching you unfold a new story. I was thinking that one day someone may be looking at my home when I am old and gone one day. We just never know. I do hope if that happens that the people walking thru my home have the same kindness and respect as your team does!! Once again, great job!!

Incredible right! Thanks for watching the video Lori!

[@rpierce7004]

I guess that this shows that you never know how your "things" and your "house" will fair after you are gone. And that you cannot take your things with you. Maybe a good reason not too put too much attention to material goods. Had the window/doors been kept closed the whole time, everything would be in much better shape. I always ask why the children don't close their parent's house out and remove the personal items that you would think they would want to remember. Also, why not sell the place so some other family could enjoy it? Now it is probably too far gone with mold to be able to use unless you take it down to the studs. What a waste. This house must have been much grander when first built. The last residence seemed more like middle-class folks living in an older grand home. Good video. thanks for the details !

I live in west central Florida in a neighborhood of homes that are primarily the winter residences of retirees from the Northern states and Canada.Most of these homes are maintained by managment companies that keep them in impeccable condition year round, one particular home across the street from mine was built by a couple from Maine in1997.They wintered here Thanksgiving to tax time for 5 years, moved here full time in 2004.wife died 2007. Husband died 2010 fell in shower and died from internal bleeding.EMTS came, removed him from the home and locked the door behind them.It hasnt been entered by anyone for a decade. I suppose so long as taxes are paid and the grass is mowed....

Hello Guys, Great video as always. Thank you. Is there not any kind of historical society in France that can rescue antiques from places like this and restore and preserve them? It is such a shame to know that so many antiques that have great craftsmanship are just slowly rotting away only to be lost forever. I think it's wonderful to see that you and your friends have such a great passion for history, and great respect for the people that used to own these things and the homes. Btw the item that you thought was a VHS was called a reel to reel audio player and recorder. Cheers to you and your friends for all the great explore videos. Keep them coming. Thank you again from Canada.

[@teniller6776]

I quite enjoy seeing things like this. Australia has history, but not as old and cultured as these old buildings and the story's they tell. The idea of history going back more than a couple of hundred years fascinates me, I guess because I live in such a 'new' country. I like this video and the fact that it seems genuine and not faked in any way, or dramatized. Well done!

Great video. Love that you pay attention to detail. If I remember correctly, many years ago you could get dolls of the world through mail order. You would get one at a time until you had the whole collection. The smaller ones could have been part of that collection though the larger ones would not.
