I hate how lazy my generation is - too afraid to put any actual work into something. Nobody sees the beauty in the history of the old homes or the future memories these homes could make.

That home should be the centerpiece of the development. The character and history of the home can't be replaced.

The porch is the best! What’s really sad is that in the near future, people will wish they would have preserved this gem and especially the land. Like I’ve always said our farms don’t grow crops they grow houses 😢

That house holds lots of mysteries! Wow! I believe that there was still a lost room upstairs! It was obvious the room was partitioned in the pink room and then the bathroom wasn't big enough to complete the room. There was some lost space there! Then the steps that went to a separate attic room! The antique shoes, books for 1937 and the glasses! I hate seeing those antiques get left to be destroyed and lost to history! The doorknobs were beautiful. The built-ins and pocket doors! Even the carving on the newel post matched the carving on the front parlor fireplace mantel! A beautiful home, thanks Kappy!

Thank you, Kappy! Thank you for memorializing these beautiful properties before they are gone forever. The memories in that house! I’m wondering if the stack of several long narrow boxes in the attic (underneath the glasses you picked up) might be rolls of player piano music. Just curious. The old shoes, glasses, lamp, just all of it is amazing. It would be fun if you would walk up and down the stairs while holding your camera. It’s almost like we are right there with you! Thanks for wilting in the heat of the attic - it is appreciated!!! 🥰

Beautiful house! I loved the kitchen built-in cabinets, the old hardware, the woodwork along the stairs and the door frames. I had to laugh at the green lamp stored at the top of the narrow staircase...I thought it was a face until I realized that the "eyes" were the empty spaces created by the handles! Lol. I wonder if the pink room and the upstairs bathroom were at one time connected. It seems to me that it should have been one larger room. I would have liked to look at that old magazine from 1929. I wonder how the basement got flooded like that. I hope they aren't putting a new development in a flood-zone. Such a shame that this house will be destroyed, since it is still structurally sound. Thanks for the tour, Kappy! As usual, you did an awesome job!

This is one of the prettiest houses I've seen I imagine back when it was occupied they probably had a sump pump in the basement to prevent water building up like that. The lady who owned this kept a tidy house back when she was able everything was put away in a neat way. That attic..Wow what a treasure trove obviously from the metal doll house there was a little girl who lived here at one time. All those antique boots and granny glasses guessing at the beginning there was a Granma who lived here too. I'd say it was still salvageable after having all that water pumped out and refinished.

I really like this old house, from the beautiful details of the woodwork and kitchen storage to the large, airy rooms with their lovely fireplaces. This house must have really been a showplace in its day. What a sad indictment on modern realtors and builders, that they cannot see past the detritus of the past occupants' lives to the beauty of this dwelling. They have been hardened their hearts and trained their eyes to see only the value of the land the house occupies and not the house itself. At the very least, this house's design and dimensions should be copied faithfully by some architect or trained artist. Then its most beautiful elements could be saved to build a copy of the home which would meet present code requirements. This house would be a hit with present day homeowners! I know I'd be fighting to put in the highest bid! This was a happy home once upon a time, with children's laughter and happy voices ringing. The attic room was a children's playroom, perhaps, as it is still overflowing with long forgotten toys. The second story rooms have been divided in an odd fashion, speaking to the needs of a quickly growing family. The tiny, angular pink room could easily have been a nursery. The room with the blue wallpaper had evidently been occupied by a vulture, judging from the amount of excrement on the floor. I'm glad you didn't run into him, Kappy, though it sure sounded like one or two of his relatives were residing in the attic! What a good idea to try that second staircase! Somebody went to a lot of trouble to stage the relics in that part of the attic. At first glance, that lamp appeared to be a ghostly figure. The neatly arranged boots might speak to the nostalgic feeling of a mother for her departed children, while the carefully placed eyeglasses on the old doily were no doubt left by the hands of a photographer. At any rate, human interference was definitely at play. I think the careful arrangements of the photographer are not as interesting or as poignant as the dusty child's slate propped up against the chimney. How many lessons were written in childish hand on that slate, I wonder. Wow! The basement is so tightly made that the water trapped in it is not going to escape without a pump. That moisture will cause enormous damage to the house in time. I guess nobody cares about that now that the house's sentence of death has been passed. Still, perhaps someone with vision will save some of the treasures before the bulldozers move in and this piece of the past simply disappears. Thanks to you, Kappy, we can still look at images of this relic and remember its beauty. My deepest gratitude to you for preserving the past so that we can show future generations how lovely life used to be in a more gracious time. Good on you, Kappy! I can hardly wait to see what's in store!
