I reckon I can understand being homeless or needing shelter for whatever reason. I reckon I can understand going in a vacant house just to have someplace to sleep and stay out of the weather. What I don’t understand is why people feel the need to tear up, trash up, graffiti up these places! Beautiful houses and most are completely destroyed.....not always by nature, but by ignorant, uncaring “humans!” Why?..... Thank you Kappy for showing us what was and what could have been!

I am always fascinated by the fireplaces in the basement as it would have been part of the original kitchen. A lot of these were filled in or covered over. As time went on and people became wealthier, wood stoves would be introduced for heating and cooking. They would very often have summer kitchens built on the back of the house. They’d move the big heavy cookstoves to the summer kitchen where they could keep the heat from the main house. A couple of thing l can’t figure out is that there weren’t any fireplaces in the hous if it’s 200 years old, how were they heating it? Also the lath from the plaster and lath walls was manufactured not hand split like l found in my 1850’s house. There may very well have been some changes to this house.

Alot of comments about the basement room.Ice room, root celler, we call it a fruit cellar. In older houses If it had a small chute in the middle to the outside would have been the coal storage room. We have a stone cellar like that in our barn, it was for sugar beet storage for cow feed. Old breweries had bigger ones called.beer caves.

Not sure exactly what time of year you filmed this, but I know that you mentioned possibly hearing vultures upstairs and you also recently uploaded another video with them in it. Late May early June tends to be their brooding time and the chicks will stay within the area they've been born for up to six weeks. American black vultures and turkey vultures have one of the longest fledgling times among Birds. I think it's very sweet that you don't bother them and give them their distance which they probably appreciate greatly. I know the people like me appreciate that because it means that they won't be likely to imprint on you and get too trusting of humans who are not so nice to them. They build no nests of their own and use abandoned human structures (including deer blinds, sheds, silos, barns, etc) for shelter.

So many wonderful old finds in this beautiful home. It’s so sad that it’s already trashed beyond repair. The hardware on the door is exactly the same as what i have on my barn door that separates my family room from my Rec-room. The original owners of my home had a 200yr old farm complete with a barn. The owner dismantled the barn and used some of the wood planks on the walls and took the original barn door, it opens on the top and bottom, and the hardware and used it to separate the two rooms. I think that was a big reason I wanted to purchase my house. Lol! Thanks so very much for sharing Kappy!! It’s much appreciated! Stay safe and have a great day! 😊 oh, and the weird room looks like a wine cellar.

I believe the curved room in the basement was the ice house. In the South ice was shipped by railroad and stored in sawdust and the ice house always had a smaller door to keep it cool. It was often underground or built into a hillside or made of stone. Those people were rich if they had an ice house. Could it have been a plantation house? Great vid.

At least one president’s home has one or more. The arch provides structural support & weight bearing. But they were used for cold storage even wine cellar. IMO this home was a gorgeous, glorious plantation home in it’s heyday. And even after was something to behold. The basement with such a large fireplace was probably an original kitchen. Similar to Drayton Hall’s kitchen.

The downstairs could have been my Granny and Granddad's house (built in 1886) -- almost the exact same layout. The wood planks 1/2 way up the walls, the windows, the molding around the windows -- exactly the same. The narrow, curving stairs going up out of the kitchen were the servants' stairs. At my grandparents' house, those go into a small bedroom at the back of the house. The main staircase had the same closet underneath it, as well. I would have loved to see the floors -- Granddad's are the original wood floors, stained blonde upstairs and mahogany downstairs. The basement is the same brick, same wooden, open stairs. Of course, their house is still lived in and beautiful. This house makes me sad because it was probably just as loved at one time. And I would LOVE to have those children's records. I had those growing up and spent hours with my record player, reading along with the records. I would love to restore that table in the kitchen as well -- I said, "I love that table!" just seconds before you did! Thanks for showing us this house -- wonderful!

If this place is anything like the old manors here in the UK, you'd be correct. The main meals for the family/guests would be prepared down in the basement and brought up to what looked like the kitchen where that table is sitting on it's side. That room was technically part of the kitchen below but it's where the meals would be put together with the usual sides and condiments, etc on fancy plates then brought into the dinning room and served.

Also, cool use of clothing as carpet:) I can't help but suspect that thick walls like those had to be more energy efficient than modern walls. Wouldn't it cost less to heat and cool such a home with solid walls that were a foot thick? Heck, a couple of window units and ceiling fans and add modern double-paned windows and I bet you'd stay cool for less in summer!

Here's an instance of abandonment that I just don't understand. In a lot of other cases abandoned homes become a thing when a single elderly person passes away and so all their personal belongings end up remaining there unclaimed. But here, it's clear that this home was once owned by a family with young children not too long ago (as evident from magazine article @ 1:29 dated week of June 12, 2005). As such, there is no clear reason why the family would just leave everything behind, unless they all happened to die at the same time (as in a car or plane crash). Either way, I'm just real curious to know how that all came about.

@Jane Marsee I raised 3 kids alone and if you did not want or could afford your kids you should not have had them. More people think they are entitled to free stuff from people instead of going out and earning it. My kids got jobs when they were 14 on their own, i made good money so they did not have to work. And my children all helped people and would give the shirt off their back to help others. My kids did not just grow up, I raised them properly.

Thanks for the tour. It was hard to concentrate on the house for all the mess that the vandals left which is so sad. Was a great house. I especially loved the curved room in the basement. Probably used for food storage and a great tornado shelter. Greetings for Tennessee girl.

Great video as always, I wonder how they kept the house warm as I didn't see any fires or fire places as we call them in England. Only in the basement. And u have some BALLS gong in that house alone. Smashed it again Kappy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I was thinking root cellar as well, but it also would be perfect to age cheese or wine considering all of the kitchen supplies down there.

You'd think that these vandals could've found a better outlet for their energy than trashing this beautiful old house. It's actually hard to imagine how it looked before they got started with their destruction, but I'll be it was amazing! Thanks, Kappy, for another interesting, heartbreaking exploration!

I have never seen a sewing machine like that. I don’t know why people think they have to wreck places like this place. What a shame. When was this place last lived in? I love your voice and how you describe things for us. Thanks for sharing.

Kappy, you are very brave! Lots of great artifacts. Wonder if it was the home of a judge? That door handle was beautiful. Imagine what it looked like when it was new. This one had a good roof. Very important. But the whole house needsstrippong down to bare bones. It could be renoed, I think.

Sure have to admire the built-in toilet.... I love old brick houses! It’s fun to imagine what it looked like when first built and occupied by a family. It had to be a big family (complete with servants?). I think your latest critter occupant is hungry and that’s why it’s chirping away. Thanks for the tour!

The bathrooms in those old houses always seem odd because when the house was built they had outhouses. So they had to add the bathrooms years after the house was built. I assume they picked the smallest room to covert into a bathroom.

2:45 "How many sofas do we really need in one room, Dear?" Was that appliance at 4:00 a chest type freezer---or a refrigerator on its back? If the latter, they've _ruined_ its resale value (W. C. Fields paraphrase)... Yes, that's a sewing machine at 6:33: you tilt the machine back, pull up the panel in front of it, lower the machine into its compartment, drop the front panel down against it, and fold that hinged shelf on the far side back on top to form a table. My mom picked up one for their cabin that'd had the machine and flaps removed and the hinged surface fastened down on top. I now have it in my closet with a Taig II Micro Lathe on it. Great find, Kappy, thanks.

That kitchen counter is definately 90s. Same as our first counters in our home built 1993. The tub surround upstairs too. So someone lived there as recently as 20 years ago or so. A lot of decay since then. Hard to get a feel for the layout. As always, unique interesting find. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

If All the Junk on floors was removed and rip off old wall paper the home is Brick it could be saved ..Keep each room wall frames that wood looks good & keep all those bedrooms just add new walls it could be salvaged...Lots a work cut all those weeds the Stairs look sturdy clean them up carpet them.Add stairs guard rails..Add old wood burning stoves & if i had lottery i would do all that then id decorate it with blinds & beautiful priscilla curtains.Deorate with Antique Country Compfy furniture from late 1800's style..Add huge Rose Garden add Zinnias marigolds up against home.Kitchen beautiful peach & creme paints make it light colors id scout antique shops find beautiful old style accessories Or i may would try a high gloss red and white paint cherry themed Tie back curtains make kitchen larger plenty of windows..1950's style kitchen red Coca Cola decorations..Black & white checkered lanolium..

another interesting video Kappy. You know that table in the kitchen someone was using for a island is worth about four hundred because I seen over time the American pickers dished out three to four hundred because the in thing to do now is reuse them in kitchen remodeling. I seen them dish out six hundred for one. Thank you again for the video Kappy.
