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!

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 .

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.

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!

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!
