Urbex: ABANDONED HOUSE of Stairs (Revisit)

I explored this house in 2011 (when it was freshly abandoned, and see it still is. I see it is much more vandalized now than it was back then. As of February, 2019, this house still stands abandoned, and now boarded up in further disrepair.
This is another house apparently bought by developers. They have rezoned the entire block for a mix of commercial and residential construction. Seems to have been abandoned since 2009/2010 according to latest phone book left behind.

I find it amazing that people can just disappear and leave behind so many personal items. Do people ever salvage items from these houses? That woodwork around the door was so beautiful. What a shame to just tear it down.

[@rskbamer]

It just makes me so mad when they tear down these beautiful old buildings to put up some cheap modern crap that will be closed and abandoned in 3 or 4 years!!

[@shirleysilcox6299]

It's just a shame, to tair down this house just to put in a center, an apts. All the pritty house's will be gone. Oh well the Lord is coming Very soon, Don't really matter. Please get ready.

[@alicia1616100]

March 2018 and the house is still here!! I’ve been in it a few times and it’s more vandalized each time I go. They have boarded up the windows and doors but the boards on the top door that the stairs lead to have been pulled off. The floors in the barn are almost completely caved in. I was just there yesterday actually and you can’t even get to the main floor anymore. Thanks so much for this video! I love it

[@smileymcbob313]

If I owned this home, I would of fought tooth and nail to stay, and refused the buy out. It is too beautiful of a home, and way spacious, with a good yard. That is very rare to come by now a days. With all these cookie cutter homes.

[@seywhut2985]

That house is still in good condition. The outside almost looks like 1870's design but the woodwork inside is 1920 - 1930's with the beveled door frame tops. The stairs in behind the fridge would have been servants stairs.

[@sashaprettyeyes2052]

i miss ur videos so much. u are my favorite explorer bc u pay attention to detail and always on point

[@81licker]

When did she stop? I first came across hers maybe a year or two ago.

[@itsnotthesamething]

I just don't get it. The house was probably sold to the city to be demolished. Why didn't they salvage all that beautiful woodwork? I would have asked if I could salvage anything in the house, as part of the sale agreement.

[@sooth15]

Someone like me (with a similar house) would (almost) kill for those 5 panel doors.

[@Hippiemomma60]

That's exactly what should be done. Let someone remove the beautiful old wood and re-use it! There are people who restore old homes that would love to have this stuff. Great video, not just this one, but all of them. Thanks for sharing.

[@healyhouse]

when we were kids we loved exploring places like this , houses , commerical buildings etc , we used to scare ourselves silly , but it is a shame that people don't want to salvage the window panes and wooden doors flooring , that molding over the doors was gorgeous and people pay big bucks for repurposed wood and stuff ...

[@sarahblack1632]

Canada is beautiful. I wish people would stop knocking things down.

[@TikiTrex]

Happy New Year to all my wonderful subscribers! :)

[@FiremanFrach]

To you too!

[@mrmaestro04]

You too!

[@nagaempress]

Happy New Years! May you find more gems in your hunting!

[@MrRedeoarknot]

Happy New Year to you and your family

[@MrAfternoonSeven]

Happy New Year!

[@vickinoeske1711]

I would like to rescue the multi-paned kitchen window. Also, the woodwork! What a shame.

[@vickinoeske1711]

Someone needs to salvage all of the wood in the house - so many reusuable items.

[@davidmurdock4740]

So many people just up and lost their homes during the crash. They left all these little mini 'ghost towns behind.'

[@SooziinCa]

Typical, tear it down to make a strip mall and/or parking lot, or an inferior built sub-division. I hope someone salvages the solid core doors, hardware, trim (gawd, especially those pocket doors)! My home was built in 1855. The quality of craftsman ship is superior to the crap being built today. I know of what I speak, as my husband & I have rentals, the newer "plastic junk" produced today (post 1995) is ALWAYS breaking/falling apart! Give us a well maintained older home, any day of the week. Way less costly to maintain & far more lovely!

[@susanwall6418]

Soozi inCa Hi Soozi. This really brought me down because it exactly matches the style of woodwork that my old farm house needs to be restored. Newer building materials are crap, I agree 100%. Enjoyed your comment. Why are people always destroying this old beauty of craftsmanship and art?

[@ColonelCustard]

There's big business in reclaimed wood. Many sturdy houses with solid foundations and good bones are scavenged for the materials of which you speak, ruining chances of restoration. Give them time and come back. It will be picked clean before razing.

[@nakayle]

Hi Tiki. I've recently gotten addicted to abandon house videos and I think yours are the best! You give good commentary and don't move the camera about too much as many others do. But a suggestion for all "urban explorers"- you should get one of the new LED flood-lamps- they would show so much more to the camera in dark basements and such than the narrow beam of a regular flashlight.

[@laurasaurabaws]

What a beautiful house, it should have been preserved or re built back to the way it was!

[@nagaempress]

I hope that a Eco store gets in there before demolition and gets everything out. That is some wonderful woodwork!

[@Sherry_Armstrong]

Too Bad some one dont want these types of houses . old and made good ... they could pay to have them moved to another location . i love that home

[@csds7679]

Yes it is a nice and could be fixed up with no problem. It is sad how we live in a throw away society.

[@MarkGrago]

I love your videos, TikiTrex. It's pleasing to know that someone else shares this passion and is willing to put it in video context. Keep up your excellent work!

[@SamanthaLaurennn]

This is by far the best exploration channel on KZbin! I love how you narrate and see everything that's ruined was once beautiful. You have inspired me to explore one day when I'm old enough :]

[@TikiTrex]

Samantha Lauren Thank you, Samantha! I'm glad to be an inspiration for you. :)

[@vinylmisfit2165]

The original video was probably my favourite of yours!! Good to see a revisit video. I am amazed that the people who lived here left so much behind, so much looks quite valuable to say the least! They really must have been in a hurry, so glad you revisited this one. Thanks for the awesome videos. :)

[@DuckyBird101]

Judging by the look of the house (woodwork, plaster and lath walls,size, lay out and style) I would say that the house was built in the first half of the 20th century which brings me to another thing that was common in houses of this time period. Having a servants quarters which where usually on the top floor of the main house.The servants would live on the top floor which is why there is that stair case behind the refrigerate in the main kitchen it would have been used by the servants so they could move about the house without disturbing their employers.

[@tigerann4941]

Same to you Ticki--you are the very best at what you do and I can't wait for another year of your exceptional fearlessness!!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Great Video as always. You can see the difference. It crazy how fast places fall apart. Happy New Year

[@anitar955]

What cool pocket doors. I also love to look at the wall paper and beautiful woodwork. Thanks Tiki for checking this out for us.

[@elkidee1]

Thanks for the "re-tour"! Have a happy and safe New Year Tiki!

[@aheckuvaguy]

I can't believe this. I've watched so many of your videos, but something seemed way too familiar to me about this one. My mother and father's family's both settled in Komoka and I grew up there. I've biked past this countless times! Thanks for documenting and sharing.

[@TikiTrex]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@gumdokim]

Love the titles of your videos, "House Of Stairs" gives it that creepy, mysterious and historical feel...and makes the places you explore infamous(like dark secrets).

[@heidip5042]

i love all the old doorknobs!!

[@nytram42]

Happy New Year to you too, Tiki. Thanks for sharing your explorations with us.

[@76southernpride]

i remember this one. this is a cool house. shame it's going to be torn down. thank you for sharing. Happy New Year.

[@BostonSmitty]

Happy New Year Tiki! Thank you for this great video.

[@Guitareben]

Merry christmas and a happy new year. Great video as usual, lovely house :)

[@atonkazer]

I love watching abandoned places, you are one of my favourites,The videos are excellent,the detail you put in and your commentary is the best. Looking forward to watching your new videos 2014.wishing you peace & happy new year :)

[@HoschtonBoy]

Happy New Year Tiki, keep throwing out those great videos.

[@RJL738]

I love it when people revisit the exact same place as a progression. What did you expect to find? Thank you for this.

[@MrErnieDevlin]

Thanks for another great exploration. I've only been subscribed for three months but I always await the next video. Happy New Years from Sydney, Australia!

[@susandick66]

Happy new year to you and your family trixi.i love watching your documentaries and the feedback you give with them.

[@awb591]

You can definitely hear a "yeah" or "yep" at the 19:21 mark. Love your videos by the way, I'm hooked. Lol.

[@TikiTrex]

Adam Brock Awesome. I had someone waiting for me outside.

[@awb591]

That's a relief. I was curious if you went to these places alone. Seems a little dangerous. I used to love doing this. I think I may have to start looking for some good places to explore again.

[@trenchant2]

+TikiTrex So are you saying that the "yep" came from outside?

[@valsblackcatsrule8740]

So sad. That looked like a sweet home. I love the woodwork and built-in pantry cupboard! The salt damage could be repaired. And, those pocket doors! Amazing! Water is what would ruin things fastest. The attic looked to have a leak. I know you explore alone. Just stay safe out there. Love your style of reviewing the place. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

[@ThePoloman88]

Just saw two abandoned houses the other day Tiki and thought of you. Happy New Year!!

[@gloriahanes3843]

Years ago, my ancestors were from Quebec and the log cabin which was built in 1825 still stands to this day in the middle of the wilderness.

[@quickeasycookit]

your braver than me for sure, I can't do basements, they give me the heebie jeebies. I still stand by my earlier comments, your the best at urban exploring and filming. I was watching some others and they have the scary music in the background. I don't really care for that. When you go through the places it's like we're right there with you. great work.

[@DeloreanDrag]

Tikitrex, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!! I love your videos!!! Keep up the great work and finding more abandoned places!!!! :)

[@juanitawest976]

What a beautiful house even now. Such a shame how these places are just left. Thank you.

[@lanescanner7063]

Thanks again! Happy New Year to you also. LS

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Happy New Year Pam, look forward to more urban exploring in 2014, now that white stove in the closet looked to be an old slow combustion stove, hooked up to the hot water system and as long as the fire was lit you had cheep hot H2o. I do remember this explore from a while back, did not look too trashed actually, sad thing is as these old homes go we will never see that type of building again. Take care Craig:-]

[@pipsumpter]

Happy new year! Ur videos are my favorite on KZbin! Can't wait to see where u take us in 2014!

[@Daniel28021991]

I like this beautiful house, Happy New Year Tiki! ;)

[@BigDJr777]

Once again great video. Happy New Year!

[@cwb0051]

Happy New Year to You Too Pam...Have Another Wonderful Year..God Bless..this is a beautiful home..

[@lesleyedwards2749]

Just discovered your videos, it is amazing the homes and places you find.

[@IIIJamesxD]

Great video as always and happy new year

[@jphritz011]

It's crazy how quickly vandals find these places. I always wondered what's the fascination with destroying everything? It looks to have been

[@susanwall6418]

jphritz011 ...EXACTLY!! The vandal vultures descent upon the defenseless abandoned house. They must be the most insensitive, cruel, valueless, self centered, and morally bankrupt people.

[@Pierson116]

Wow. This place was nice but now it's falling apart. I used to think they should tear down houses that are abandoned for a least a year but then I realized if that happend..these great videos would be going up on KZbin :) great video. There's a house next door from me that has been abandoned since 2008 it's really beat up...

[@lynne6495]

Happy New Year. I hope your holidays were great. Keep up the great work on your videos.

[@charlenehensel6945]

Greetings From Minnesota! I've just subscribed to your videos, this was an awesome place! It's so sad it was torn down. It would of been cool to have moved it. Thanks for sharing 😁

[@lily121127]

Wow that house is gorgeous all the wood they need to take it out before they demolish it! Its a shame they are going to it must of been a beautiful house in its time. Thanks for the video Tiki Happy new year!!

[@penniesfromheavon]

happy new year!! thanks for the revisit! im always curious how they look after you've been there and time has passed.

[@paulkay2005]

It is 2018 now miss your videos you are the best exploring is not the same now without you x

[@toddistre781]

I always enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work and stay safe

[@IsoscelesKramer]

Some cool wallpaper in that first bathroom! Happy New Year!

[@jenniferashley99]

I noticed you haven't made a video in a year. I hope you come back to KZbin and make more

[@HoschtonBoy]

I love an old house such as this one. It brings back so many memories of western Maine so many years ago.

[@ohboynothimagain]

I hope you dont mind me watching this video again. I love your videos

[@rayzhistorychannel]

Whenever these old places fall victim to redevelopment, a demolition company brings in a trackhoe and these old houses get smashed to bits. It's such a shame. I wonder if there's any company anywhere that will go into these places after the owners have sold the property to the developer and remove all the reusable, recyclable or resellable componants such as trim, moldings, woodwork, fixtures, glassware, stoneware or any reusable part that's still in good condition. Some of these items could possibly be used in the building of new houses so that these old houses could continue on in a sense. It just seems better than smashing these old houses and everything inside them to splinters. just a thought. anyway, great video and happy new year.

[@TikiTrex]

I'm pretty sure there are because I have recently seen two houses so far where there was a crew harvesting the inside shortly before being demolished.

[@susanwall6418]

rayzhistorychannel ....Well SAID and agree with you 100%. I truly believe that the craftsmanship of making such beautiful woodworking is a lost art and priceless loss. Enjoyed your comment.

[@shirleybaughman4512]

What a beautiful house and good explore! Thanks

[@FiremanFrach]

Damn shame. I hate "developers" They're developing fatter wallets for themselves and that's all. Thanks for the video.

[@susanwall6418]

Fireman Frach ....That's the TRUTH! I'm wondering what is going on in the world.

[@theresarivers5790]

Happy New Year to you! Keep the great adventures coming please!!

[@Clblackburn1969]

Happy New Year! Thanks for the tour....

[@janramey9811]

The trim and woodwork wouldn't have been that dark originally. The sealer used 100 or so years ago darkens with age. The big window in the kitchen must have let in lovely light. Hopefully the city was smart enough to save and sell all the architectural pieces. In the US a lot of cities and developers are getting smart and making these beautiful old structures part of the new development instead of tearing them down.

[@torythefanman]

i want to say that back area was some kind of break room. since it looked like they ran some kind of big farm type of business ( that binder being part of the payroll maybe? ) but ether way. i liked this house. loved the woodwork and it seemed like a nice house before they left it. great video as always.

[@a.salmon8193]

It's sad to see the state of some of the houses she shows us. Some of them are structurally beautiful. They also make me homesick. I grew up in a very large stone house that was nearly 100 years old. As we grew up and moved away it was too large for a few family members so it was sold. That was a lifetime ago. I still miss that house.

[@dawnlennon5331]

love the woodwork of the old homes

[@mickcasey7177]

A belated Happy New Year to you TikiTrex, long may your investigation abandoned properties continue! :)

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Mick!

[@veedavis467]

I want an abandon house❤️Thank You For Being so sweet and showing Me them❤️❤️

[@Crystalhealerzzz]

Another wonderful video! Thank you for sharing :D Wishing you a happy 2014, may you be blessed with love, health, happiness and prosperity :D

[@leannestrobach9726]

Makes me so sad to see houses that at one time must have been so beautiful, so vandalized and ruined.

[@brendabone3837]

I really love your video Tiki. Good Job!..Have a great day.....Happy new year with a smileeeeeeeeee.............:)

[@tina290974]

HAPPY NEW YEAR GIRL LOVE UR VIDS KEEP IT UP AND PLZ STAY SAFE

[@OlgaPoltava]

The Christmas wrapping paper in the corner at 12:25... I have the same one. Makes me feel creepy lol

[@pitt64jobar]

That was a beautiful house at one time. Too bad it hasn't been lived in and taken care of for a while. And Happy New Year to you.

[@StivNagen]

Another great video, Tiki. Did you explore the outbuildings at all?

[@linaeable]

Looks like a beautiful house at one time...I wonder what year it was built?......you are quite brave I hope you have some kind of protection when you go in these places. Thanks for the showing brave one lol and have a very happy NewYear.:-)

[@Merle1987]

In the 90s there were these things called families, and they lived in these things called houses. Now everybody's poor and lives in apartments.

[@TraditionalHymns]

Lots of folks still live in houses (albeit a lot more rented) and also there are grand apartments from the 19th century in lots of cities around North America.

[@makaylaz2004]

Not sure what you're talking about but a ton of people still live in houses.

[@Karbkfd578]

Junkies in Florida strip copper clean to sell to junkyards, and wreck the place. She needs to watch out for used needles. No joke, some disgusting areas I've heard about. People's kids getting cut on used needles/ razors that drug addicts leave aroubd. Smh

[@Karbkfd578]

Merle Langlois, you American, mate?

[@doctorno0070]

As a builder, it always makes me sad to see older character homes go to the 'dozer. The style and build quality will never be duplicated again. The frames are mostly of old growth fir or pine and they are solid. Today's homes are built of farmed trees, and are thrown up in a matter of weeks. It's a shame developers have never thought of incorporating a building like this as a centrepiece to a surrounding developement.

[@ToyotaCelicaDude1]

I love these videos!

[@1948schwinn]

Happy New Year TikiTrex :)

[@AtomicZombie9]

I love your videos!. They're interesting and very relaxing to watch for some reason but I was wondering what made you decide to go in and look at abandoned houses?

[@jphritz011]

a nice home at some point in time. Still very salvageable. Happy New Year!

[@kimjameson7979]

Thanks for the groovy tour. I appreciate the opportunity to explore vicariously with you and I hope you keep it up. Just thinking, but wouldn't it be grand if government projects could partner a jobs program, so the good bits of a doomed house could be recycled. Send in the job sponsored gleaners first to pick up the good stuff that can be donated and dumpster the rest, then send in the team with prybars to capture the architectural elements for resale, like the pocket doors, doors and trim.

[@1ballerina]

Thank you for the tour.

[@lov3pinkgirl]

It so steady with the camera good job!!

[@angelshaven8920]

back when the house was built that. upstairs was for the servant quaters.

[@jamesgonzales6086]

Makes sense with the access to kitchen like that

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

You are one brave woman for doing these solo. You would have to lead me in by the hand.

[@wildsoul8943]

I enjoy your videos happy new year

[@wildwildwests]

So sad to see it all go to waste. So much beautiful wood that could be re-purposed :)

[@motorcycleguy73]

Love your video's

[@SandyzSerious]

Be very careful when going in old houses. Some mold spores are very dangerous. I love your videos.

[@MichelleJohnson-tg5lx]

Shane this house is solid and in good shape. needed updating in kitchen n baths. it looked strong n it's old. the walls show like 1920s. sad.
