Stunning Abandoned Art Deco Farm House and Old School House Down South

[@pumpupjam9648]

The first house, build around 1900, reminded me so much of the Movie Dr. Zhivago. The old house in Siberia, where Zhivago, grew up as the foster son of the man who he would marry his daughter Tanya, years later. If I go near a house like that one, I'd bring my Metal detector! The old lamp was Art Deco. Should have picked that one up. All these old houses just decaying and falling apart. One day they won't be standing there anymore!

[@badapple65]

It’s always a bad roof that condemns a structure to rot. This was a beautiful home at one time.

[@chrismarkes5488]

Yes and it makes you wonder why who ever owned this home did not get a new roof put on it or do any maintenance on the house before they decide to abandon it or try to sell it at least ,or if owner passed away if another family member did or did not inherit the home

[@jefflawrentz1624]

Third house was definitely my favorite. That is a well built house.

[@2024Sanie]

It never ceases to amaze me how at one time these old places were probably full of beauty. Thanks

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Well said thank you very much for watching! :)

[@Diametricallyopposed00]

When building this house, I wonder if they ever thought about how all their hard work would disintegrate in 100 years. Sorta reframes things… all the work we do now will be forgotten in 100 years. Dust in the wind.

[@schnutchie]

The Shelvador refridgerator was made by Crosley, who also made radios and even small cars.

[@ruthsills7207]

That kitchen sink/cabinet looks just like one my grandmother had in Virginia. Her house was built late 1800's to very early 1900's. The spigots were the same also. Oh my word... furniture was very similar also. Sorry... commenting as I'm watching. The tv too! That first house really brought back memories. She would have been 123 today and she passed almost 40 years ago.

[@sharonlegnon7411]

OH THE SINK IN THE KITCHEN!!!! Every house has a story. I like the natural wood before they wall papered it.

[@peggyharris3301]

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly water can take down these beautiful old homes. So sad.

[@michellejones-iw5nb]

My favorite was the last house. I love those old houses from the 1800’s. They always have such pretty staircases.

[@lisaharrington7423]

What the ? 😆 You said there was some Art Deco decor! Was you trying to fool me Kappy? Okay, I thought it was funny...as always, I enjoyed your video! Best wishes!

[@SRay-or3nc]

The upstairs low balcony railing is made of metal and that is definitely Art Deco. Also, the faceplates for the door knobs are Art Deco. This house just didn't want to give up some Victorian traits. The closed in staircase is a very moderne twist to what would seem like a Victorian house on the outside.The floor plan, however, is very moderne. There are no hallways in the downstairs and no foyer like most Victorians have. Tax records indicate the house was built in 1925. By this time, the Victorian style had faded as a popular style. I think this house is a blend of two styles and that's what makes it so totally unique. And let's not forget those mohair chairs. They are straight-up Art Deco.

[@mariaes623]

Seeing those beautiful, old, abandoned houses just fills me with sadness every time I watch one of your videos.😢

[@Vernonsanders-q8e]

I 🤔 it's so cool that no criminal s have vandalized it all natural decay

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

1:25 awwww. Look at that old chair on the porch probably has been sitting there forever. ❤

[@jerroldmcley4347]

I'm glad you got to document it before it was completely gone

[@peggys1140]

Just a nice old memory of a house now. Thanks Kappy!

[@Sirshackleton]

I love the original old doors.

[@sweetteagrits3822]

Kappy, keep a flathead screwdriver w you for those door knobs that won’t open…Painting contractor trick ;)

[@jerroldmcley4347]

The school house was cool and that second house 🏠🏡 wow I hope they finish the restoration

[@MasteringTheModel]

The 3rd place you showed is a perfect blank canvas house. Something I would love to find in a state I would want to live in.

[@beverleystone1102]

Hi Kappy. Inside first house downstairs cupboard had a hoist, equipment for lifting a person. Also a commode . Upstairs last room a steel bedpan. So old person may have been cared for at home until they died. Lovely house so sad to see if die. Thank you beverley stone UK

[@wannyk6774]

At 4:23, you should have check the chairs for change. At 11:57, I remember my elementary (from 57 years ago) school Annie R Morgan in Jacksonville, Fl , was made of wood and had windows just like that.

[@robertmanley7556]

In her day I bet she was a bright Diamond .....and this is her fate so sad. With the use of imagination in that chair on the downnstairs porch you could almost see a old man in bibs smoking a pipe .The stories she could tell us if it were possible . I liked the old School House dont see much them anymore .The last home sure was pretty such cool wood work ....stunnning sure hope someone is restoring her. Her limits are endless she has a lot to offer . Great video as always Kappy !! 👍👍

[@PaulaColdren]

how could not speak about those two awesome chairs.....

[@SRay-or3nc]

The first time I went in this house I came in the room with those beautiful chairs. They are awesome. I didn't go beyond the kitchen this time. It is too dangerous. It did look like the owners had been in the house and changed a few things. I can't imagine why they did that. They took the door knobs off the pantry. It leads through into the room with the nice chairs from the kitchen. There really wasn't anything in that house to keep locked away in the pantry and why keep anything in that poor rotten house?

[@gailmuir799]

It would be good for a before and after shot..when it was still new..😮thanks for sharing..👍🏿

[@tammyasbury6517]

Love these old houses ,won't be long probably before you won't be able to find them ,and can only see them on video

[@tashasmith6179]

I love the school house. I would love to see someone renovate it. It could be a beautiful home. As for the big white house, i hope whoever owns it, will not give up on renovating it.

[@tammybaker6635]

Wow. The 1st place, that poor old girl is returning to nature. Still had some relics though. Love the crystal doorknobs. The schoolhouse was a blast to see. There is one here that is one huge room and a tiny kitchen. The people living in it added a bathroom, but otherwise, it's 1 big open room. Pretty cool. The grand old lady does look like it's in some stage of rehab. 12ft ceilings, huge rooms, the staircase-lordy! Our town is a civil war town and we have 8-10 houses from that period. The town puts on what's called "Parade of homes", where you can walk through and see what features they have, and rooms set up for the time period. There are even a couple of the plantation left. There is even a cannonball still in the courthouse from the war. You and Miss Ruby would love them. Another great video Mr Kappy! Hi Miss Ruby! Thanks for taking me along!😊

[@tracyaldrich1502]

I think the decay in this house is beautiful. It shows history.

You are too kind!! Thank you so much always!! Makes me happy to hear you enjoy!! Have some very cool places on the way!! :)

[@janewasson4845]

Wow, Kappy-above and beyond! Could see how nice the Victorian once was. What a shame that someone didn't remodel the schoolhouse into a home-what unusual architecture. And!! best of all, someone is restoring the 1800s house, so that lovely home will be saved!!! That's so great! Thanks, Kappy, and hi, Ruby.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Well said! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)

[@shereerichmond4833]

I've got that same exact sinktop in my kitchen.. I've seen old school houses also like that that people converted into a house too bad that one was so far gone

[@nancyweliczko9334]

So sad that nobody take care of this old girl it would have been a gorgeous old farmhouse, I love the kitchen sink and the bathroom sinks and tubs in the first house, the schoolhouse was cool and the 3rd house will be gorgeous when it's done and it is huge.

[@clairefunnell8481]

Poor old house. On its last leg,won't last .much longer. Cool schoolhouse, dividing wall reminded me of a barn door. 3rd house is really nice, hope it's saved. Loved that staircase. Hi Ruby, no time no see.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Wow that place must have been beautiful it was very weird all the deka and what was left was still in really good shape

[@donnahensel7211]

Thank you for preserving history before it's destroyed. We have too many going to rot in this country. It's a shame there is so much waste. At least give Habitat for Humanity a shot at dismantling it to save beautiful carved wood,windows, etc. You're the best in America, and Adam Mark is amazing in Europe! Stay safe!!❤

[@marenjeworowski9859]

These houses were once beautiful. Shame they couldn't be saved. So many houses going to ruin and so many homeless living on the street. It is truly a shame. 😔

[@50pinkies67]

That's my mom's TV in the first house, circa 1955. 😂 Thanks for the tour. ❤

[@dlodge4966]

Wow that old TV! The door knobs those should be saved!

[@elizabethnorth4604]

Beautiful homes. I love the first home's kitchen sink.❤ And the cabinet it's in. And the french doors. ❤ I really hope someone is restoring the 2nd home. I love the old school house too. I love the windows. Thanks for filming these!

[@rosykatzCATS]

Thats a good stove & sink that could be saved

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

How cool! Love antiques! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@AllisonWCone]

Oh, I could imagine that 2 room school house transformed into a really cool house. It'd be like a double-studio or double tiny house.

[@dawncottrell7325]

Well, Kappy you have done it yet again... You never disappoint us with your vedios... These 3 were interesting to watch !! I wish I could have rolled back the years to when they were first built and occupied. I bet they were all amazing to see back in their time of glory. Before they started to decay and were abandoned... Can you imagine the stories they could tell if their walls could talk. I can just imagine the laughter, love and happiness they all three shared at times while they were being lived in. And I can hear the school bell being run as children race up the stairs carrying their books to go inside and sit down. They all three were great finds to share with us Kappy... I do enjoy watching your vedios and hearing you tell us about the history of your finds before you take us in to explore... Thanks for sharing with us... See you in the next explore !! Take care Kappy and stay safe out there !!!!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Fantastic observations! Totally agree would love to have seen them back in the day! The school house would’ve been very neat too find an old picture of! I’ll share if I find one! Thank you for the kind words and watching! Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@jilldavis7229]

Loved all 3 properties Kappy 👍🙏💕 Sad, as with so many, that the doors, door casings, windows, window casings & hardware aren’t saved!!! Sad that the ship lap wasn’t saved from all of the buildings!!! Sooo very much & could have had a new life!!!😞😢😰 I do so hope that they save & restore the 3 rd property!!! What a gem it will be👍♥️ Thank you Kappy for sharing this wonderful adventure with us!!! I loved it 👍🙏💕

[@lynnesummers-noble5029]

Thanks Kappy that was amazing!

[@moonwalker091000]

On house #1 - Yes I agree Kappy. I think its been abandoned way before the 1996 calendar. Beautiful old house and I love the little kitchen. Kind of a dangerous house to explore though, with the ceilings and floors decaying. #2 is a really cool place with the "barn doors" to open up the two rooms. Hi Sandy!! Love your accent :o) House #3 is such a beautiful place and I love the staircase. Hopefully it will be restored. Thanks Kappy - and Sandy - for the explore. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe :o)

[@joanneclose7041]

Really cool places. The one thing that bothers me the most is how all the architectural things get left to rot! Save them, someone!!

[@ladytess23]

Thank you for another great video Kappy. You can see how these old places must have been so beautiful in their day. I sure hope that last one will be restored.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

I hope so too! Such a beautiful place! Will share updates if I’m able! Thanks for watching! :)

Love watching these old abandoned house videos, definitely some very old places! need to get permission to metal detect these places before they get demolished and the yard gets all dozed up! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! Stay safe and keep at it! 😊

Much appreciated for watching! Would be very cool to get a metal detector someday! Thank you! :)

I had to watch this before I left for some exploring this am. It looks great. I am so glad you captured the memory of the House of Rotten Floors. I will never be in that house again, so it's great to have that memory of the first time I ever went in. It's such a fascinating blend of Victorian and Art Deco. Thanks for the wonderful shout-out. You are so kind and such a wonderful person.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Thank you!! Yes agreed! Just glad it wasn’t totally too late and could still show some of it!! Lovely place! & thank you for sharing and exploring with me had a great time!! Much appreciated!! :)

[@nadinemasteller1089]

I'm guessing that the downstairs bathroom was originally part of the porch. This was once a lovely house that fell victim to the lack of a good roof. Those old school houses are sometimes saved by historical societies, but this one is too far gone. The second house looks like someone did all of the needed demolition in preparation of repairing and replacing what needs done. All of the details have been preserved. This place could be gorgeous again. I sure hope it will be.

[@SRay-or3nc]

I think the downstairs bathroom was originally a part of the kitchen. That could explain why the kitchen is so tiny.

[@lisawoodwalker7180]

Looove them!!! I agree with the first home being awful holy!!! Lol you got a great sense of humor!! Each place you go to is so amazing, and we are so lucky to be able to join you!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@clairwaucaush7225]

Too bad for the first house. One more winter is going to cave it in. You should have rescued those glass doorknobs upstairs. I hope the last house does get restored. It is solid as heck. It's in the perfect condition now for new electrical and plumbing. I hope you follow up on that one and let us know.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Sadly true! Def in final days!! And yes indeed hopefully it’s restored and saved! Will do! Thank you for watching! :)

[@Bluerose888]

I just started watching and I don't know what you did, but the CC is back! Yea!!!!! It was a nice house at onetime. I liked the living room and kitchen, I didn't see a toilet in the upstairs bathroom. The third place sure had a lot of windows. Sure is a neat house, hope they restore it. I wish we got a peek at the attic. Did it have a basement?

[@lisabrown1324]

Great vid Kappy. All amazing but the last one was outstanding! Thanks and stay safe.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Thank you! Last was definitely my favorite! Much appreciated for watching! :)

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

Good evening Kappy! This first house is, indeed, sad. It must have been a stunner earlier in its long life. Oh, I do like those old farmhouse sinks. My drwam house will have one, if I have to go find an old house and "liberate" one of them! The calendar may speak of relatively recent occupancy, but when that ceiling caved, it did some awful damage. No telling what structural integrity has been damaged or lost. I am glad that it seems that your past life-endangering exploits have taught you caution, dear man, and I'm very glad for that. I've had nightmares where we would see you filming while falling through rotten floors! Awful! It's a shame, I'll agree, that you didn't find this house before the roof caved in. It was pretty, I'll bet. House Number Two - Those nine over nine windows are amazing! I like the barn door type of opening, with panels that lift up on cables to make one large classroom from two small ones. It's very inventive that the "chalkboard" is just a section of the wall that has been painted. It's disgraceful, the way that people filled its rooms with junk. House Number Three - This house's beautiful exterior is almost all that's left of this once stately home. The few touches of grandeur inside are all that tell of a once beautiful pre-war home, the pride of its owners. It would be interesting to return one day and see the restorations "they" will make to this old beauty. Thanks for another video of interesting explores, and to Sandy for showing them to you, Kappy.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Yes agreed wish I could’ve filmed the first place a decade ago! And right loved that feature of the old school house! Great observations always! Hope you are well! Thank you for watching! :)

[@susanmiller4159]

Surprising that much was even left in first house. That door in the schoolhouse was awesome but a bit scary. Think of it falling down on a child. That last one could still make it. Would love to seen before it was gutted though. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@melissah4515]

Aw, the farmhouse was just beautiful in its heyday. It's still easy to see what a wonderful home it was in its prime. I'm surprised you got so far upstairs, thank you for that! The schoolhouse reminds me of one (much smaller) in the back field of a house I lived in when I was a youngster. The last one was impressive, those central halls were huge! I hope someone finishes the restoration, it's a beautiful place. Thanks for a three-for-one! All the best, Kappy, stay safe out there!

Love the history behind the first house and the school house. Both have been standing a long time and too bad they are both in such bad shape. The last one needs to be restored. Look at all those huge timbers holding it up. Probably had cloth on the walls to help keep in the warmth during the winters. Can only imagine, needless to say they are all beautiful buildings at one time too. Thank you for sharing and you have a great day.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THESE MOST EXCELLENT VIDEOS!!!! You have a artistic eye that appreciates simple beauty. I use to ride out to abandoned places to check out the old homes,barns,and outbuildings on my horse as a kid.Greatest time ever just admiring and studying how the old buildings were built and put together. Ironically, I now restore old homes,build old style barns,for a living as most don't know how with modern buildings being the norm.There is a great R.E.M. music video called,'Endof the World' that shows a kid and his dog exploring a old house you should check out.Very few take the time to really see things like how you are doing and it is great you ate sharing your discoveries.

Fascinating structures you filmed for us today! The floorplan of that first farmhouse was definitely not the typical 4over4; it seems to have aged quickly. The schoolhouse was sturdy and seemed well lit with those tall windows! The last one was a true old classic, however denuded of it's old-time accoutrements. here's hoping it may still someday be brought back into renewed glory times. Really a nice collection of structures. TY for the tour!

[@SRay-or3nc]

Displace caught on fire and that's why they had to build it from the ground up again basically. My son used to go to this house for his after-school program. It was a beautiful place for children to go and learn. It felt so wonderful to walk up the big steps and going to the big four year with a nice stairs. It used to have a beautiful circle drive with Magnolia trees out front.
