120 year old Abandoned Southern Victorian Farm House in Georgia

[@susiegnall3971]

We have to remember, first it’s amazing that these old homes are still standing, second they were built when there were no nail guns, electric drills and saws! Everything was done by hand! Thanks for finding them!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

It’s incredible! One of the things that fascinates me so much about old architecture! Thank you for watching!

[@l.l.2463]

I like your friend Kappy. He wasn't distracting at all and it made me happy to know someone was with you just in case. :)

[@angela776]

I have always dreamed of owning a southern Victorian with a wrap around porch and a amazing curved staircase! The front door was perfect example of charm.

[@runningkirkwa2934]

Just go for it angela

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

In the first house, the couch, recliner, and tv were all from the 1980's. Loved the summer kitchen! The second house, even though trashed and dilapidated, still retained some elements of its original charm. Great explores, kappy!! 😊🏚😊

[@bamc1000]

You are so optimistic, and that makes your videos so much better than anyone else’s. You see the beauty that once was! “Pretty fireplaces” and they are in shambles....”here’s the back side of the porch, cool porch” and it’s barely there! And your knowledge of architecture is amazing like pointing out the stone foundation and noting that it’s odd to find in Georgia. Please don’t ever stop exploring abandon houses!!!!! 💗

[@tashasmith6179]

I agree. I was thinking the same about the fireplaces lol

[@donnasuzanne9499]

I look forward every week to the cool & different explores you take us on! I'm sure this house was grand in it's heyday! Sad to see pieces of history just fall by the wayside.

[@stevelehman7637]

Wow bright yellow, green walls. The porch must of looked great at one time. I saw a highchair in the last room. The fire places probably kept it nice and warm. Thank you for sharing with us. The long windows to the floor sharp.

[@melissaboggs5176]

Such a beautiful home. I love the fireplaces in the old homes and love the bay windows. Thanks so much for sharing Kappy. Stay safe and can’t wait for the next one. 😊

What a porch the first house has, and such an intricate door. Glad the sheriff was nice and cool. Appreciate you bringing us these two locations before their gone.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Thank you very much for watching!! Me too! I’ve had probably 5-6 run ins with the police while doing this these past few years and all have been cool and understanding!

[@kimjones846]

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Me too ! Thanks for watching!

[@susanmiller4159]

More great explores. That first one got “used up” until it just “played out.” Loved it. That second one felt European. You see those stone houses over there and they are three or four hundred years old. And they just keep on keeping on. You really should do a book of prints. Or several. I’d certainly buy them. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@bethshadid2087]

Did the sheriff think y'all was gonna graffiti or wreck this house 😂😂😂😂😂. Anyhoos y'all in my neck of the woods....they probably had the stones quarried from stone mountain. That front door was nice 💜. Hope y'all enjoying the Georgia weather 🤪. Stay safe and hydrated 💗🕊️

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

He saw my out of town license out front and assumed my car might have been stolen and was being left there, I clarified of course and all was well! Very nice guy!! Thanks for watching!

[@christineschumaker3937]

Lovely front door! Wish someone could restore it. Thanks for sharing!

[@bevolson7619]

Outside of home was very stylish..nice home in its day.. lots of nice architectural features. So sad it went into disrepair and left to decay.. happy the Sheriff understood.

[@marilynpoitras7839]

Love the corbels on the first house! Thanks Kappy

[@animallover4ever229]

Sad that it was never kept up, it looks like it was a beautiful home! Looks like squaters have been in there.

Another most excellent video Kappy!

[@denisewatson5295]

What a grand house 🏠 it must have been in it's day. I love 💘 wrap around porches. Stay safe 🙏❤💓💙

[@changeshifter4852]

At first, I thought that 2nd house's detached kitchen was just a summer kitchen. On review, I think it may be the original home. Then the bigger house was built as it seems they do not connect at all on the upper level. That front door on the first house was spectacular ~ thanks for taking us on the walk throughs :)

[@Granny2470]

You never disappoint Kappy! I bet many a meal was cooked in that summer kitchen! Thank you Kappy!

[@juliespade1573]

I love how respectful you are when seeing the mess, you simply look at the bones and workmanship!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy! :)

[@tashasmith6179]

I bet that front door had stained glass in it at one time. Beautiful. The 2nd house is odd to me. Like there's wood, brick, plaster and stone. Very interesting. The people that built it or added on to it, I wonder what they were thinking 🤔 Thanks, Kappy for the explore. Stay safe

[@roblabow9702]

Saving and restoring these old homes would create a lot of employment. They could be made into museums. I think it is a crime to destroy these great old buildings.

[@patricialenaburg6553]

Each house you show may not have been a magnificent show place at one time, but everyone has their own personalities, and deserve a showing.

[@RichieTrashmouthTozier]

I love your videos,I like the way you keep it simple,no crazy effects and unnecessary editing.

[@williamteate832]

So sad. History left to rot this way. I would have loved to see these homes in their prime.

[@joansmall9019]

Such a shame these homes are abandoned, I'm sure it was pretty at one time, love the wrap around porch.

[@JosieSchuller]

Even in its sorry state that first house still had nice touches like that carved front door. Did you tell the sheriff to check out your channel? 😁

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Nope lol he had more important things to do I’m sure and left pretty quickly😂 thanks for watching!!

[@mamiebobb4173]

You really ought to have a few business cards made up with your channel address on them. If there's any question as to what you're doing there, your videos will show them the respect you have for the old properties.

[@sandkayknow]

Not surprised by the granite foundation in Georgia. Granite is big in parts of Georgia.

[@bethshadid2087]

Yeah I commented they probably had it quarried from stone mountain

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Yeah especially in western Georgia it would seem! The first house was in tignal Georgia

[@sandkayknow]

[@jenniferwatson4074]

Was that a cooking fireplace in the first place that. The plastic decoration was sitting on? So glad the law was understanding- hope he becomes a subscriber. The second house was on the primitive side but so sturdy looking. Thank you and stay safe.

[@dreamseer7]

I sure do love that style with the porch and curved windows. I think maybe squatters used this house for a while. Beautiful wood floors. Windows are so cool. I love the old fireplace bricks and the wood walls. Front door gorgeous, and the support beams for the porch also very ornate. The windows stand out in every room. That second house was so well built, even with all the decay, you can see the work that went into it was amazing.

[@tammybaker6635]

Wow. Both places are done. So sad. Thanks for capturing these before they were gone. Nice work youngster! Thanks for letting me tag along!

I love the wrap around porches of some of these houses. I would love to add one to my house.

[@debralavorata546]

First kappy thank you for the lengths you go toaking these videos!Never a dull moment! Loved the veranda around the first house calls for wicker furniture,a few rockers,sweet tea and kids and visitors hanging out. Horse and buggy out front,liked the slight bay windows. Very cozy in its time,enjoyed the scenery in the second video,couldn't tell if it was horses or cows in that field. Victorian lady must have been a beauty in its time,thanks kappy!

[@katcallisto6478]

Thank you, Kappy. Always look forward to your videos. Fun to imagine who might have used that big wrap - around porch or who cooked in that old stone summer kitchen. Glad that the sheriff was a cool guy. Take care.😊

[@glendamott6420]

You definitely get around , thanks .

[@user-randi1987]

The porch and the front door on the first house were really nice. Glad the cop was cool but I'm sure we would manage to go your bail if we had to. 😳

[@mikehurricane5767]

Hey Kappy ! Another cool video . I wonder what it would be like , to have a conversation with these old homes . Imagine the stories they could tell . Just imagine . Even getting to talk to the crafters of those days . Thanks ,,,,,

[@CreatingwithJovi]

What a shame. You can tell it used to be a simple but pretty home.

[@debraellison6255]

The second house was so primitive. I bet someone was proud to have their own home. Not sure how happy I would be sleeping over the kitchen. Hot in the summer but probably cosy in the winter. Too bad we don't know of the history. Love hearing their stories.

[@bethshadid2087]

Judging from location he said 81 and going to Tennessee he was probably in McDonough Georgia. Or closer to winder but I think the first. Guess it couldn't be too hard to find info.

[@johnamstutz]

My 1897 Queen Anne had the same door as the first house,but it was on the back door of my house. Very ornate and beautiful.

[@colleenhoperue5538]

Also Kappy,I'd love to own vintage 70s furniture some day for my house .I enjoyed the various furniture

[@pdean77]

Kappy dude, your my no. 1 go to when I want the very best of an explorer who hold my attention. Would love to have an opportunity to explore with you one day. Don't like birds though!!! Ugg!!!

[@GenXandProud]

Based on the color and pattern of the couch at 1:56 and some of the wallpaper, I think this house was lived in at least until the 80's...the blue and mauve color scheme was popular into the 90's. The first house looked like it would have been much larger than it was. Surprised that the sheriff didn't tell you to move along since being in there is a safety hazard. I guess when you have a camera instead of spray paint they trust you!

[@belleange590]

That home was gorgeous in its day. What a beauty she was. I like those corners of the porch set up on the 1st home. I know where I-81 is. That second house - good grief!!!!

[@bradhampton6457]

A great great Aunt of mine had a farm house similar to this in Orange Virginia. Visited there when I was a boy.

[@mariebock8016]

I think the only thing cool about the 1st house is the wrap around porch. We had one when I was little. It was a lot bigger than that one. Ours reached across the whole front of the house & the whole length of the side of the house. It was awesome!

[@lesleighc6949]

Very cool! I wish I had a lot of these old places to explore where I live, my town just isn't old enough, or it's all been knocked down already...I need to get out more...lol

[@jenniferdeleon8954]

The first home was probably absolutely beautiful in it’s prime!

[@louisemissouri4410]

Older homes didn’t have the kitchen in the home but attached to keep the heat and smells from the main house. Housekeeper would live above.

[@joejones9520]

my friend told me that his grandparents whod always lived in the country with no running water, were appalled at the idea of a bathroom being inside the house when modern times came. They thought it was disgusting and unsanitary.

On the second house I think the stone part was the original house and the rest was built later to add more room the family was growing. It has stood the test of time for sure, still has a beauty all it's own. Have a great day

[@Thetis058]

First house must of been beautiful before either hoarding happened /squatters moved in and disrepair was allowed full rule . That porch would of been nice to sit out on to have morning coffee , enjoy a warm spring , summer or fall day sipping tea or hanging with friends in the evening. The second place was definitely more rustic and I am sure must have some stories it could tell about who lived there like who built the place . I’m thinking that one area upstairs was probably where slaves where to stay . Both of these homes are past saving sadly . History of the original homesteads are lost . Land should be returned to the indigenous people who where probably run off the ancestral lands of their people . Thank you for sharing and documenting these places .

[@kellysaunooke740]

Two great old homes.

[@1Kittywicked24]

In Southern houses, the kitchen was always built away from main house for 2 reasons. 1. It's hot in the south since air conditioning was not a thing back then the kitchen was placed away from main house to keep main house cooler,most still cooked on wood stove. 2. Because of grease to cook with and fire was used to cook most houses were wood framed common sense to build a potential fire hazard away from main house.

[@christinemaskell5518]

the kitchen being detatched (sort of) from the rest of the house I would think would be a summer kitchen ?? but the where would the regular kitchen have been 😕 it's odd sort of place but one can see the beauty underneath the peeling paint and crumbling structure. someone lived there long enough to raise a family and have some happy times !!

[@thomasbrysonyopp4210]

They usually didn’t have one as kitchen fires were very common then and people were scared to have them in the house

[@christinemaskell5518]

@@thomasbrysonyopp4210 in every abandoned or deralict house I have seen him film it always has a kitchen in the main house..he even looks for them and points them out the same as he does a bathroom or a bedroom or livingroom. . what would they have done in the colder parts of the country. there is no way they would have a kitchen outside the home. I lived in an older home growing up 1850 and it had a kitchen in the home as well as one geared to keep the heat out of an already stifling house in the warmer months.hence the name Summer kitchen. some were a kitchen with practically no walls put had a large portico over it with a large fireplace and ovens to still cook great meals. some had plenty of windows that would open up to let the heat out.

[@oldenweery7510]

When you panned to the right and showed that bay, I immediately wondered if that's where they set up their Christmas trees each year, but that's just nostalgic ol' me. (Did you show the inside of that room and show the bay?) Then, in the first room you showed, I looked at the "Naughty Pine," and decided it was the real thing, not sone cockamamie thin plywood imitation. I wish there had been a prolific salesman traveling around the country selling metal roofing, like the guy who sold lightning rods all over the place, saving many homes from burning. I thought I saw graffiti with "1987" in the bg of one of the shots, which is the era I though of after seeing the style of chairs and couches---and that TV set. Be careful, Kappy, you're right about not wanting to mess with a raccoon. Have you seen "The Incredibles II," where Jack-Jack takes on that bushy-tailed critter?" Hilarious!

[@LCNWA]

Kappy think the under floor may be original kitchen as we didn'thave frigs till after WWI then washing machines after WWII. The cabintry reminds me of mygrd parents kitchens. They were looking for anyway create a way to get away from the heat & used lots of salt for preservation!

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

This looks like a little gem! The different gables and rooflines are charming! Whose voice is that? Oh, hey, Zane! I like the wide porch, the bay window and the gingerbread trim on the porch posts. The front door with the sidelights is very nice and would have let in a lot of sunlight. Honestly, I do believe that someone brought garbage into this place! There's just so much stuff everywhere, it seems as if it's too filled with clothes and furniture to be left that way by the last occupant. Oh, it's too funny that the deputy sheriff stopped by to see what you guys were doing. At least he's doing his job and watching out for the old girl. She needs a lot of TLC, that's for sure. That front door is so gorgeous! I'm so glad you noticed it, Kappy! It seems odd that the door and so many details should be so decorative while the mantels are so plain. Somebody must really have liked bright colors or maybe they were just color blind. To think that this lovely old Victorian should suffer such indignities as psychedelic paint and half the junk in Georgia being brought inside! There is so much moisture damage to this place, if not rain and roof collapse, just really damp surroundings. The view from the back porch indicates that the water table is rather high. It could be there's a creek nearby that periodically overflows its banks. Perhaps that's why they used blocks of stone for the foundation. They wouldn't shift like bricks might. The algae growing in places on the house's exterior walls indicates moisture being present in abundance. You'd think the original owners wouldn't build near a waterway, but creeks often do change their courses. This place was a dollhouse in its day, but the hand of man has laid heavily on it, scattering garbage and the house's possessions all around. It's a shame that we can't travel back in time to see the house as it was before it was trashed by too many vandals and drowned by too much rain and damp. Well, at least you tried, fellows, and we got to see the wonderful details on the house's exterior. Thanks for the explore. Your videos are always interesting and informative. Okay, this house is another prime example of why children shouldn't be allowed to play with spray paint. Although it may be all that's holding this house together! That addition looks like someone attempted to apply stucco to the walls. It appears to be older, as that's a big beam over the fireplace opening. If only the walls could tell what had happened here. Thanks for making you way to this one, Kappy. It was good to see its transition from one style of construction to another. Always a good education when we're exploring along with you!

The foundation looks like center blocks with concrete spred on it.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

This may be a long shot, Kappy, but I'm wondering if the blue trim on the house is "haint blue" that was used in South in the belief that ghosts or haunts (haints) could not cross or pass beyond the blue. I think that may have its origin in the belief, as I recall, that ghosts or maybe evil spirits cannot cross water, haint blue representing water.

Do you know that the floor to ceiling windows were used to keep down the tax rates in some places. The taxes were based on the number of doors in the house. They used the windows as door in many instances.
