Urban Exploration - ABANDONED - Colonial House

Urban Exploration : Abandoned House CLICK SHOW MORE TO READ HISTORY AND DISCLAIMER
www.AbandonedSteve.com SteveAbandonedExploration AbandonedSteve
From a Public Record search, this abandoned colonial house was built in 1720. It use to be a farm house with over 100 acres of land.. It is about 3200 Sq Feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It was renovated in 1930 but not sure if an addition was put on. In 2005, the house sold for a low 116,000 dollars which to me makes me believe it was a foreclosure. The previous owner was a landscaper that specialized in nurseries which explains the small green house on the side. The current owner is a development company and the land was shorten to 3.3 acres. Right behind the house is a brand new luxury home development being built. It seems the current owner has not done much to the home as it in a terrible condition.

Great find, Steve! What a grand old house and property! The dead vines climbing up the house really gives it that regal yet eerie look, especially with those attic windows. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

[@AbandonedSteve]

yea the attic windows make it look the the amityville house. Thanks for watching tiki!

[@TikiTrex]

I was thinking the same thing about the Amityville Horror house.

[@TheLimbReaper]

***** Stop at 1:51 and then 2:11. Go frame by frame and remember he was already in there...Now that's a horror.

[@karik.8333]

I'm impressed that this nearly 300 year old home is in as good of shape as it is! It's sad that it will almost certainly get demoed. Thanks for taking us with, and I shared it to Twitter.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks Kari. I been seeing you share my video on your twitter and I appreciate it. The more sharing the better!

[@vonniek6787]

absolutely love this old rock house. the land is great too. i hope whoever lives there now is taking care of it.

[@Concetta20]

I love 18th century houses! The simple, humble lines of the architecture, the soft colors, like that lovely robin's egg blue on the trim and doors. I actually also really like the 1930's fixtures in the bathroom and kitchen and I would restore them, if I had the money to save the house. The 1939's fixtures inside an older house remind me of the British cottages, like one would see in Poirot or Jeeves and Wooster.

[@cwb0051]

Thank you for all your Hard Work to get these videos made..enjoy them very much..

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it

[@urbanexplorationadventures1708]

Fantastic find! Everything about this property is just amazing. Love the beautiful photos at the end. This place is what I call "Urbex Gold". Great filming, enjoyed every minute of it!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You!. Glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesklotz1150]

Wont ever be sold due to the asbestos and belongs to the developer, I lived in that house for 4 years as it belonged to my brother in law and my sister, it was given to him by his grand parents, the wall paper was hand painted, I helped build the tree house in 1990 the living room is actually the formal dining room and the pencil graffiti was from my nephews and niece when they lived there. As for the history of the place, if you had observed the floor of the room with the fireplace you would have seen the blood stains on the hardwood as the place was used as a hospital during the revolutionary war, they buried severed limbs down near the spring house near the tree with the tree house. Also entry into the atrium is through the room with the fireplace to the far left of the fireplace.

[@jamesklotz1150]

Also if you had braved the tree house you would have found a moose skull.

[@AbandonedSteve]

wow thanks so much for the history. Do you happen to have any photos?

[@AbandonedSteve]

Yea i was trying to do that ha

[@jamesklotz1150]

I have a few I will have to dig them up I will ask my sister.

Pretty cool this house and the trees !!

[@Zoie12]

Thanks for the great videos. I am looking forward to watching more.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks for watching Patty

[@Shewulfy]

I loved this vid! I could imagine a family of long ago being warmed by one of the fireplaces. All yellow and glowy. Even though this house has fallen to vandals and decay, I felt it to be a nice home of days gone by. Thanks for sharing!

[@teckelhut]

Now to see someone took it over and is fixing it up. It is beautiful!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Sussie Due yea sadly that will not happen. Today developers are hungry for new homes.

[@BlueNeonLites]

Wow, that had to be one nice house for its day. Looked like it would have been airy and bright!! Very interesting lay-out.

[@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE]

The fireplace in the basement was the original kitchen to the house, the women or slaves back the day would cook all day down there. That is a good example of a early American/English colonial house, surprised the town/state has not made the house a historic site. Those sites are vanishing rapidly. That white half buried shed was probably used to store smoked meats and fish back in the day before electricity but, I'm not sure, if it was used for meats, it would not of had a window or someone added it later on. There was a lot of good stuff in this video, one of your top/best exploration finds. You would have to have big balz to climb that tree to enter the tree house....I would never let my kids have anything like that.....way to high up, although it was cool!!!! good vid

[@AbandonedSteve]

wow thanks for sharing that information. Very helpful. Yea that tree house was a big no no to climb for me.

[@nicknickbg5029]

I agree, that was probably the original kitchen cooking fireplace in the basement turned into a coal chute. Another side note on old homes like this- if you run into stone arches in the basement that look like they were fireplaces, sometimes they were not actually fireplaces but just built as arch supports for the heavy stone fireplaces on the floors above them. I'm thinking because it was so wet down at that small white building it was the spring house.

[@bigaparker1977]

That explains the bathroom I was in the basement

[@Butterfly1Queen]

Thanks so much for posting this .. and for going in the 1st place! I've subbed..i absolutely LUV these old houses .. every fiber in me wants to get in there and "fix it up" but stay as true to the original as possible. I luv wondering who lived there, how their lives were, etc. etc. I wld SO luv to find one, buy it and then renovate it to live in. That tree house and log cabin were SO kewl...and the 420 on the wall is the national "get high" day! lol ...Thanks again .. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@AbandonedSteve]

that how i feel when i enter these places. Always wondering what life this house went through

[@carlenesherbrooke5235]

great job brother I like the pics at the end, thanks for sharing with keep up the great work

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank you so much carlene

[@pamelagroover2850]

I come across your channel through my feed. great find and like like the way you present the video.

[@patpow960]

Great video!!! I absolutely love being able to see this! So much history from that house! Must have been a lot of fun & adventure for the children that lived there with that tree house! Thanks for sharing your adventures!!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Your very welcome and thanks for watching Pat

[@JoshMorrison81]

Such a shame such a beautiful house was abandoned. Makes me so sad that such beauty goes to waste. Thank you for posting these videos. Love them.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks Josh. It sure does

[@woodspiritsherrill7483]

Cedar lined closets are not to keep clothes fresh, they are to keep moths out.

[@jlynnhm]

Such an awesome place, love the inside and the outside as well! Such a shame that it has been left to deteriorate like that! Beautiful wall paper, thanks for showing that! Seeing these old houses always makes me wonder about the people that lived there and the lives they led. :)

[@AbandonedSteve]

that exactly what goes through my head everytime I am in a place

[@joannesabourin1108]

I loved all the built in bookcases in this home. Another great explore.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Joanne Sabourin It seems like a lot of these older homes have that. I have another one coming up soon that also had the built in book shelves

[@joannesabourin1108]

Great, thanks so much for taking the time to reply!

[@Daviemes13]

The hole in the basement fireplace is now used to clean the chimney. And the small out building where you stepped in the mud is where they kept milk and other goods that they wanted cold. It was placed where a small creek went through it and they placed milk jugs and or jars in it and it would keep it at 54 degrees all summer and winter. And all the bathrooms were added around the late 30s or 40s. Love the old house.

[@GinaZalner]

Watched this from your Facebook page. I think it's an incredible find and was a great tour. You got yourself a new follower!

[@AbandonedSteve]

awesome and welcome Gina!

[@MrKelso159]

I take my motorcycle when I explore abandoned houses that way it is easy to hide it when I get there or leave it in the woods if I can't get all the way to the house like the one you went too ! I always think of how beautiful these old houses were when they were new back in the day. Sad to see them going bad and I wonder what happened to the people who owned them to have to abandon their home ! Great video !!!

[@AbandonedSteve]

must be a lot easier with a motorcycle. Yea not much info is out there about the past owners except for what I posted.

[@tammy6218]

Attic looks in pretty good shape.

[@torritucker6366]

At 7:23 when you say pretty Bauer a voice says “pretty Bayer” right after you. Does it again when your going down the stairs and at 9:03 “old oven”. Beautiful pictures at the end. The property is awesome. Thanks for posting.

[@carolehayden8566]

Beautiful old place. I really loved the still photos. Colors so cool. Tree house did look a bit dangerous. Thanx. Hope to see more of your work soon.

[@AbandonedSteve]

yea wasn't going to test out the ladder. No way ha

[@WizardofTacoma]

I would like to start by saying great videos of your house exploring. However I would like to make a suggestion for your safety that you get yourself a more powerful flashlight this would also improve your video by making it more easily to see what you're trying to show. One other suggestion take a little more time when you're panning the area that you're showing. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures looking forward to your next great find.

[@Pinkieout]

Another beautiful treasure...the massive fireplace in the basement was part of the original colonial kitchen and the lil white building,may have been the spring house. Love your vids. Thank you !!!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You for watching. Crazy knowing how old this house really is..

[@judymaxwell3700]

ìt breaks my heart to see old beautiful homes like this in such disrepair i don't own a home and would love to have the money to bring it back judy

[@AbandonedSteve]

mine too :(

[@redneckbryon]

In my personal opinion that house still have a lot of potential, it still looks relatively structurally sound and Mother Nature hasn't taken over as of yet.

[@AbandonedSteve]

yes this house was still structurally in great shape but now that it been busted up, if nothing is done, it going to go to crap much faster.

[@ndog2005]

Wow, when you find a house, you REALLY found an interesting house.. Built in 1720 & still standing..(not demolished).. wish I was rich to fix up.. Interesting, plus the grounds. No tree house tour ( LOL )...... Great, Great video;.....

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You. haha Yea i was not going to climb that tree

[@AudiophileTubes]

Very cool video! These old homes are intriguing!

[@AbandonedSteve]

AudiophileTubes yes. That is why i love to film and photograph them

[@marylupo3656]

I just cant believe that people are willing to tear down a stone home, in fixable condition, that has lasted since the 1720's.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Mary Lupo developers most of the time dont care about that and it sad!

[@czistarocharles6716]

Dude, ty for the vid's . You go the extra mile to make them good. May sound corny but I appreciate your work...

[@AbandonedSteve]

Not corny at all. Thank you so much. I like receiving comments like that

[@czistarocharles6716]

ty.

[@sherroneb62ful]

Beautiful pictures

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank you!

[@sherroneb62ful]

Yw

[@noradennis4361]

I'm absolutely hooked on your videos. I've always loved history and the east coast is loaded with it. I also love colonial and pre-colonial homes. What I always find a shame is that these lovely buildings aren't kept up and some are eventually pulled down. The architecture of by gone years is so much better and appealing, at least to me, than modern homes. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to live in one of these majestic structures but don't think I ever will. :(

[@AbandonedSteve]

Nora Dennis you are not the only one. I find the older homes much more interesting in looks. Thanks for watching

[@bamfan36791979jmp]

Interesting video Steve. Great work as always! - Jason

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks Jason

[@barneyfife2411]

Thanks for uploading this video . I really enjoyed it .

[@AbandonedSteve]

Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

[@dee4021]

Nice one! That has to be one of the tidiest basements I've seen in abandoned houses

[@AbandonedSteve]

haha yea. it a hang out location for sure

[@MsCripplex]

The house is amazing I would love it! The small left in the large basement fireplace was a clean out area for the ones above it. The small building with the water may have been cold storage before modern refrigeration. Be safe!

[@labgirlreed]

Nice music at the end....I always enjoy your videos.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You. Yea i add the music to the pictures. Thanks for watching

[@hsmansell56]

Nice big rooms really sad music , very apt with all that history going , your very good at judging those stairs.

[@AbandonedSteve]

yea stairs are always my concern. Every time i walk up them, the scene from the Money Pit rolls through my head haha except I wouldn't be laughing

[@annrose5856]

very good inside and out...I like b/w too

[@AbandonedSteve]

ann rose Thank You! BW also makes for some cool photos

[@claire040776]

Love it!

[@christinehorner1856]

it's 8/29/16 and I just saw this. I think the stove is around 1915 - 1925, could be off, but I've seen similar ones in my long past family members. I myself had a gas stove from around 1930. The oven was on the side next to burner,s and had black keyhole decoration around the burner knobs. Bad placement for oven knob was on wall of oven just over the stove top burner. Has lots of storage for pots/pans etc. Great Aunt Ida had a stove that was able to use wood or oil. Maybe that is what that one was. Old houses have many old things that are fascinating to see and then learn about. I'm sure that's why you do this, and to make a record, so others can see the architecture and styles that faded and then came back in style. Also shows what to do and not to do . THANK-YOU

[@jakeloveland3983]

This house was built in 1720 for a landscaper who specialized in tree selling and planting, that is why you will find a lot of pine trees near by, it was moved out of in 2005 when construction of a new neighborhood right next door and the construction of a middle school near by as well as the main highway right next to it, sadly as of a few weeks ago in heavy winds small portions of the roof blew off and the house seems to be nearing its end. The owner of the house was the grand father of a family which lived in a house down the street where they are building a new neighborhood(still there) the grandfather was a doctor and the tree house came from the kids of the family down the street. I forgot to mention that today on may 13 2019 the house started to be demolished.

[@sprayguy67]

Love it, thanks for another great video

[@AbandonedSteve]

sprayguy67 Your welcome. Thanks for watching :)

[@benskelly1217]

It's ABSURD... how "far" people may go, when vandalizing properties!

[@vondakayissweet]

I absolutely love love love rock houses. This one looks to be built very well. I would love to own this and refurbish it, make it nice again. Its a great video Steve. Thanks :)

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks Vonnie

[@zappakitty7233]

Another awesome video Steve! You and Tiki are my favorite urban explorers! :-)

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks Zappy ***** is an awesome explorer. Glad I rank up with her as she helped inspire me to do what I do

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks Abandoned Steve and Zappa Kitty! :) Steve's explorations are one of the best, in my opinion.

[@Skooterbird]

excellent tour....TFS

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank you

[@MaBerryHomestead]

I believe that the white out building could be a root cellar of some sort. With that much acreage it would make sense to have fields of growing vegetation.

[@shelbymarie2249]

Awesome house!! It's such a shame though all that land lost to development. Great video!! :-)

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You Shelby. Been happening a lot in this area. More homes, More stores, more everything is all they want now

[@bettynewton6160]

Great video, but such a shame that no one ever tried to save it. Well I guess someone did or it wouldn't have bathrooms, but maybe they didn't do enough to the structural part. Anything older than our country should have every effort made to save it. Thanks for giving us something to remember it with.

[@trace624]

Sad to see such a old home be left to root

[@TheRetroGuy2000]

Steve, thanks for sharing this house with us. I hate to see beautiful places like this sit and rot. The one thing that would make this video better is the audio editing. At several points, it's disconcerting to hear you say two different things at the same time. If you decide that new audio needs to be added, please remove any old commentary in that area. I can't hear what's being said with two voices talking at the same time.

[@Remmepark]

Looks like it was very charming at one time.

[@AbandonedSteve]

it sure was. Sad to see it like this and I continue to drive past it and it getting worst

[@PopCultureFan_]

I thought u were giong to say ' And the fun part is trying to find the car again' lol.

[@badgrfan]

At 12:23... I don't know if that is for the fireplace by the front door or for the fireplace at 10: 00 but that small hatch door would be opened to take the ash out from the fire place above. When the fire in the fireplace on main floor went out and the ashes died down and it was safe to get rid of them, you have a small trapdoor on the floor of the fireplace. they would open up the trap door and shovel the ashes down inside. When it was time to clean the ashes out in the basement, they would open that small door where the old fireplace was down in the basement and clean out the ash and take it outside through that basement door that was blocked off. In case you're wondering how I know this it's because when I was young, we had a fireplace in our house. that's how we took care of the ash.

[@AbandonedSteve]

+badgrfan Thanks for all that information. Always great learning new things

[@badgrfan]

Abandoned Steve You're welcome.

[@MichelleJune67]

That last building is a spring house.. they would use it to preserve the food in hot weather. You stepped in the little stream of water that they built it over and that would run though the building and keep it cool. It's built on top of the water on purpose. ;)

[@tealapowell5241]

Hey Steve, I really like your video of this old house! I would have loved to have seen it in it's day. I enjoy watching all the abandoned house vids, but the old ones are by far my favorites. The tree house was amazing. That took someone a lot of hard work & dedication to build as well as the mini log cabin. That was awesome!! I hate hearing that these old places are going to be torn down. I think it sucks!! Especially one as old as this one. Soon, there's going to be little of our history left behind. At least in the family sense. I just can't understand why their historical value isn't appreciated more & in some cases not at all. But, it all boils down to the all mighty $. Anyway, thanks for sharing this one!! And always Be Safe!!:)

[@AbandonedSteve]

That my main goal is by finding the older homes. Newer abandoned homes to me do not have much history with them

[@msaj9384]

I am a new subscriber.I enjoy watching your videos.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You and welcome :)

[@caroleeicher7902]

Enjoy visiting these old houses!!! But you move the camera TOO fast around the room!! Makes me dizzy!!!

[@crzycatladie]

Wow what an amazing home,must have been beautiful in it's day!I hope someone restores it it would be a tragedy to see it torn down and replaced by cheap cookie cutter houses :-( great video

[@abandonedsc4261]

Awesome video. Superb coverage of the house as always. Cool tree house looks like it's in maybe a Japanese ceder? I'll walk to my locations as well if i can find a secluded place on the property to park. Thanks for sharing another Great Location!

[@AbandonedSteve]

yea i would love to have a tree house like that when i was younger. It was pretty big when you see it in person. Thanks for watching!

[@abandonedsc4261]

Man you're not kidding! I would have had Loads of fun In that as a child.

[@charlenebrown5367]

Am sure this house was stunning in it's hayday...would've loved to have seen it 😀😀

[@woodspiritsherrill7483]

Steve, In NC we have a Preservation Foundation that operates state-wide. It is a non-profit. They either find or are told of old structures that need saving. They put them up for sale (sometimes even free) as long as the buyer agrees on paper to rehab the house within a certain period of time. Hundreds of wonderful houses have been saved this way. If PA doesn't have such a plan, perhaps you can get some folks who love older homes or history to form their own foundation. Your state archives and history maybe have some info or perhaps a state museum.

[@AbandonedSteve]

woodspirit Sherrill I not sure if PA has something like this but they should!

[@joyz3375]

hi steve, nice video and house I love old farm houses. Also I usually don't listen for evp;s so when I heard it I was like huh what so I listened a couple more times, then I stopped the video and read comments to see if anyone else did. but there at a different time than what I heard. the evp was in between 630 and 632, did you do a voice over at that time? not sure what the voice said. ty.

[@Country_Girl63]

The room you were calling the den was the original kitchen to the house. The fireplace was used for cooking; that is what that metal arm was for.

[@sharondavidson2581]

Well that was interesting.House in good condition for being 300 yeard old.I read comment about the fireplace in basement for cooking.That kept house cooler. Back then they had outside kitchens too.

[@Allykitty1981]

If only someone would step up and put a lot of money into the place. It would be a beautiful property. Plus, from looking at your photos, the view would be great too. I can only imagine how it truly looked before it was left to rot. Awesome video!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thanks for watching!

[@Allykitty1981]

Abandoned Steve You are more then welcome.. I am watching more of your videos as i type this. :) HA!

[@buddylight2191]

I like to see the furnace area and mechanical room of these old buildings.

[@AbandonedSteve]

in the basement there was a newer oil burner. Not sure when the old unit was removed

[@KevinAnderson-qr5bl]

Hi Steve. I really respect and enjoy your interest in these abandoned places. I enjoy your filming and narrative. I would enjoy your interest even more if you would slow down in your filming and zoom in on the more intricate spaces. They are not "not special" as you say in your narration. They are special to me and more interesting than, perhaps, they are to you. No criticism here. Keep filming. Would love to have more of the history of these places--who lived here, etc. Also, since your filming was done, for this particular place, in 2013 (?), who purchased the home and for what. I believe that all homes have a "soul" of their own, much like things in nature, and are speaking to us with their voice.

[@AbandonedSteve]

This is an older video and I have changed up my way of filming. House is still sitting there for sale. Its rezoned for commercial use

[@elctrc74]

loved the treehouse. it looked really high up

[@AbandonedSteve]

Yea i wouldnt mind having that when i was younger

[@Kizzmycntryazz]

That fire place that was filled in this small Tunnel well could have been an ash shoot our house had something similar to that

[@krystalokada]

Do you ever get scared? Creeped out? Im such a wuss if im alone. My imagination is too crazy. Do you do some of these explorations alone? Anyways, thanks for the fabulous videos! This is my DREAM! to explore old abandoned places! So cool! :) :)

[@AbandonedSteve]

Krystal Okada scared, no but does my adreline run high, sometimes, depends on the location. I enter these places usually with a friend or two. There is time I go alone but only to places that I know are not going to get me killed

[@krystalokada]

I would NEVER do it alone. You are brave to do it alone. Good luck and don't get killed ;)

[@asankaw1]

another beautiful house gone to waste; another great tour .. thank you for taking risks and taking us on these tours.. i wonder whether you have any news about what happpened to this house.. i hope they didnt demolish it.. too bad if they did. thank you

[@AbandonedSteve]

asankaw1 it is still standing but has a big commercial for sale sign in the yard

[@asankaw1]

well then looks like something is going to happen to this house .. either renovate or demolish..lets hope for the best.. thank you for the reply...

[@ladycomet72]

Darnit I need that trunk! It looks like it is in decent shape. I refinish them and sell them all done on ebay for a living. What an awesome house! Someone should restore it instead of building a piece of crap new home. You would think they would respect it since it has been there since the 1700's. Shame on the developers!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Not sure on the trunk quality but it seemed like a nice one.

[@Demoriel77]

Ceder closets were to repel moths, and keep your clothes from getting holes, not because of the fresh scent. Great video Steve. Great house with some quality construction now in ruin.

[@AbandonedSteve]

Jason Voss Thanks for watching Jason

[@wendykpa]

8:50 "Old oven". I don't think you were "alone" :) I love your video's btw :)

[@caronward4042]

Cedar closets were used to repel insects such as moths. Woolens etc. were put in them offseason to prevent insects from destroying the fabric .

[@AbandonedSteve]

AshburnFilmWorks checked out the location on the maps and I have passed that before. Someone lives there now. I remember seeing cars in the driveway and even on on google maps street view which was taken in aug 2012. You can see also two trash cans from the township also. The place is a wreak though. Makes you wonder who lives in it.

[@TheLockhartchic]

I would have to say if someone bought it and now lives in it they had to fix it up or it would have been condemned

[@laineyfabriccio5984]

when you opened the chest up, just before and during the time, I could hear a voice speaking at the same time you did, it was kinda creepy, do you know what it said? Love the video, subs and likes done and dusted lol

[@bellebslife6504]

Lainey Fabriccio, I thought the same thing about the voice when he opened the chest. It was actually his voice from the original recording.

[@nephilimnameless]

Wow... that's brave! SPIDERS! Otherwise I'd be right in there with ya. So interesting!

[@samlemagic]

I live in Philly and love exploring places like this, any idea where I can find it?

[@76southernpride]

even as rough as the inside is, because of neglect and aging, it's actually in pretty good shape, for being 293 years old. the stonework on the outside is beautiful. it's a shame if they tear it down. if it's in that good of shape, this many years latter, it would be standing some time down the road longer than the new ones behind it. thank you for sharing. the pics on fb, were a good "teaser" for this video. lol

[@AbandonedSteve]

Thank You. Yea I try to get everyone ready for the video that way. It crazy knows the house is 293 years old and is still standing. It was renovated in 1930 but even that is old in my opinion. Those new million dollar homes behind it will not last 293 years

[@76southernpride]

you can probably do an explore on the new ones in the next 10 years. the economy will probably catch up to the owners, and cause them vacate. lol

[@AbandonedSteve]

i posted an interesting article on facebook about million dollars homes after 15 years needing over 200,000 dollars in water damage repairs b/c of them being poorly built

[@76southernpride]

yes, I watched that. that is pathetic. it's all about quantity, not quality, and that's sad. just another case, no matter how much money you spend, you can still end up with mass-produced crap.

[@Jemalacane0]

Abandoned Steve May I see the article? This is/was a very nice house. I hope someone fixes it up and loves it.

[@patriciacarlisle5079]

For Pete's sake you move that darn camera so fast I am getting seasick!!!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Old video, gotten better, check out my newer ones

[@симсфриплэй-я5щ]

Video!✌👍

[@dusterdude238]

the two small windows on the front of the house remind me of the house in the Amityville Horror

[@AbandonedSteve]

dusterdude238 yea i think the same

[@kronvlat]

beautiful old house, it's a shame people will actually go into these places to steal and deface them.

[@AbandonedSteve]

happens all the time sadly. Thanks for watching

[@ARTSIEBECCA]

wow there are a lot of beautiful fixtures in that house hopefully they salvage it before they knock it down..thats some money right there

[@AbandonedSteve]

ARTSIEBECCA I hope so but those stupid vandals are probably going to destroy them

[@RebeccaMoody21sm01ur80f]

if the owner has enough money to build a housing development,im pretty sure he'd be able to restore that house,i would.its lovely :) especially the greenhouse!!do you know if its still standing?love the tree house!! and the little cabin

[@AbandonedSteve]

i agree. It seems all the now see is new big home

[@RebeccaMoody21sm01ur80f]

keep an eye on that place,if he runs outta money before those houses are finished,you'll have another place to explore..ive found a few in my travels over here ive gotta go back and film...

...that huge old fireplace in the basement might have been the original kitchen when it was built... back then it was not uncommon for the kitchen to be in the basement since the big cooking fires would also provide some heat to the upper floors

The cedar closet is so that moths don't eat the wool clothing.

[@nowitsabadtime]

Those are nice shrubs at 1:38. Somebody should transplant them before they tear-down the house.

[@buddyanddaisy123]

Beautiful stone house-bet those walls are 2' thick. A shame it was not restored.

[@LOAblue]

I'd love to buy one of these old homes and restore it

[@AbandonedSteve]

LOAblue so do I!

i heard some deep voice from 4:02 to 4:05 js

[@IrieFiery]

LilMizzKiwi1 That is his voice as he's filming. The talking all throughout the video he added later.

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

yes I heard that about @4:04 but it probably was his original narration- but the way it sounds like a creepy whisper, lol

[@frozenoem1]

If house is from 1720's the room at 10:00 and fireplace is the original kitchen. The iron piece in the fireplace is a crane for hanging cooking pots.

[@alibabafurball]

That room is the living room and also had a crane for entertainment purposes. Ah chrismas punch anyone? The basement one is the roaster, but used more often in the winter, as summer would make it way too hot. I would aslo suspect that the basement had a draw well too nearby. The 1930's addition is what steve showed as the "modern" kitchen or summer kitchen to keep that heat a little more seperated.

[@Concetta20]

This historical info is great!

[@Concetta20]

Wouldn't the original kitchen be an outbuilding ... And I guess later owners built an extension connecting it to the main house?

Front room wall covering is a MURAL
