Such a grand old farmhouse! Some plusses right off the bat; it's surrounded by no one, the awesome porch, the double foyer with the gorgeous archway and the beautiful woodworking! The rooms are quite large which is another plus. No bathroom was no doubt difficult. I can't imagine having to use the bathroom and trodding outside in the dead of winter to use the out house 😬. I'm sure they use chamber pots in some cases. I guess bathing would have been done using a big wooden tub, but where? I wonder if they had an outbuilding for that? It makes you really appreciate having a modern bathroom 😆. It's sad that it's been abandoned to nature. The second house is a quaint old place sadly rotting away. Again no bathroom which gives you a general idea as to how old it is. It's just so sad to see it decay like this. Another great adventure Kappy! I always enjoy your explorations! 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WOW! That first house, with the wrap-around porch, is the type of home I've always dreamed of owning. What an absolute beauty! The basic bones are good, and it would take a ton of work, but this one could be brought back to life. Are both of these houses on the same property? The reason I ask is because at 16:05 the fireplace surround in the smaller house is identical to those in the larger house.

While I admit I enjoy watching the videos about these old houses, I am constantly thinking to myself "thank God I don't have to live in one anymore"! I have to laugh at all of the comments about "oh that house is so beautiful" and "I would love to live in a house like that" LOL. People today have no Idea how miserable it was to live in houses like that. When I was a kid I lived in old houses like this in rural Kentucky with no running water, an outhouse and coal stoves and fireplaces for heat. It was miserable having to constantly haul buckets of water from a well. The houses had no or very little insulation and in the summer they were blistering hot, even at night. Winters were the worst, having to constantly haul coal and firewood into the house and every morning the house would almost be the same temperature as outside. Getting out of bed in the morning to go to school was like torture. We spent countless hours huddled around a coal stove or fireplace trying to keep warm and oh the joy of going out to the outhouse on a freezing winter night or early winter morning. Everyone romanticizes these old houses but no one would last a week in one. There is a reason people moved out of them and let them fall down. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but that was the reality for me.
