Urbex: ABANDONED HOUSE of the Rising Ceilings

*DEMOLISHED*
This house sits on a farmer's property who gave me permission to explore but I was unable to get any history from him on it. There was a calendar hanging from 1961-1962. There was a date of 1870 painted on one of the attic access doors, so maybe that is when the house was built? Hard to say for certain. He dismantled the barn in behind it, so I am guessing the house is next so he can utilize more of his land. He didn't want anything f'd up because he would be wanting his salvageable items in pristine condition. While exploring, I did notice some floor boards neatly cut away possibly to be utilized elsewhere. Thanks for joining me on this exploration! Enjoy! :)

This house is lost in the 40's/50's and it's absolutely a gorgeous, preserved example of the time. Wow. If anyone buys this I hope they keep most of it original - especially that 30's / 40's art deco bathroom.

[@DeliriousCanadian]

This house looks in better condition than some places we have looked at to rent.

[@redneckbryon]

I think the house was built somewhere around 1870 on one of the attic doors upstairs I saw that. That House has definitely been lived in since the 60th, that front porch renovation is definitely within the last 20 years also the electrical panel in the basement was newer then the 60th, you're correct on baseboard heating but it's not electric it's hot water, most likely the reason for two hot water heaters in the summertime when you don't need to use gas or heating oil you can have it shut off and just use the electric hot water heater, saves quite a bit of money. In my opinion the place is very livable after a good cleaning and some repairs.

[@winsto2230]

It appears to be a home where a child of the original owner started renovations and either ran out of money or time and the other children abandoned the dream. I may have some experience as I am such a child and I find myself running out of time. Human age tarnishes and does not shine anew. A labor of Love! Thanks Pam! Ralph.

[@TikiTrex]

So true, Ralph! Thanks for your comment.

[@SusieLaLonde]

I love this house. I'd move in and renovate it to it's old time beauty. Thanks for taking the time to do the tour.

[@Foogayzee]

I love this channel because after years of exploring she never tried to make the houses seem *spooky*. Good old urbex!

[@mrmaestro04]

Tiki, you would never 'F' anything up...nice video!

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Steve!

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

I love the way you methodically explore a House, building, barn, you mostly work the same way every time, always smooth, not rushed. You do such a great job of finding clues as to who may have lived in the house, what year they left, gender, age, if there were kids or not, looking for items with dates like wall calender, newspapers, magazines. You are concerned for your viewers in that you will not show nudity, profanity, or stuff that that you do not feel would be in good taste to show on your channel. Sorry for the long post but I wanted you to know that your subscribers enjoy exploring with you more that you know. I check in every few days to see if there may be a new video, if not, I sometimes go back to some of your older ones and watch again. Take care Pam, and stay safe.

[@TikiTrex]

Wow, thanks for the awesome comment, Steve! It really means a lot, and is what keeps me out there. It's always a pleasure to share my explorations with all of you, the best subscribers anyone could ask for! Cheers! :)

[@RebeccaMoody21sm01ur80f]

8.58 my grandmas both had these curtains in their houses when i was a kid...and i couldnt stand sleeping in those rooms,i always felt like someone was watching me through the windows

[@TikiTrex]

Yeah, they're pretty sheer. It wasn't until I got closer to them when it kicked in that my mother had those when I was growing up. This is the first time I've seen them since those years.

[@ochsj1971]

They have those same curtains in the Thomas house on the show "What's Happening" lol

[@quickeasycookit]

***** yeah as soon as i saw those curtains i thought of my childhood and we had some that were moss green I remember sticking my fingers through the holes in them and catching heck for stretching the holes. lol

[@rachelpeters4947]

Of all my YT subscriptions, yours is the one I get excited for when a new video is posted. Your camera work is awesome, and the fact you take your time and "talk us through it" I follow other explorers, and find myself wishing they did a better job of explaining. I always think "TikiTrex would do a MUCH better job" Looking forward to your next uploads! Much love, from Washington State 😊

[@Kittydoc90]

Thanks again, Pam, for a great video, and your thoughtful commentary. That house looked like it was lovely at one time. Kinda looked like the last decor "update" was about 30 years ago-very late 70’s to mid 80’s. Very cool place. Boy, would it be nice to know its history! What a treat to see new explores! Name's Cristina, by the way, from the "wilds" (hah!) of Northern Virginia, where development has destroyed sooo much history. I've lived here most of my life and I've watched landmark after landmark disappear. I'm glad you're documenting as you are-these relics of other ages are important. :)

[@TikiTrex]

Nice to "meet" you, Cristina! That's too bad about developments destroying your area. From my drives through there, it's very pretty country. We have a lot of newer development going on here as well, as you can tell. And progress is taking its toll. Thanks for your nice comments. :)

[@tealapowell5241]

Hey Pam, What an interesting house! I loved the upstairs with the awesome windows. Most of it looks in pretty good condition. The farmer must keep a close watch on it as there were no signs of vandalizing. Definitely one of he most well maintained abandoned ones I've seen! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this one!! Take Care!! :)

[@TikiTrex]

You're very welcome, Teala! Glad you enjoyed this one. Yeah, they seem to keep a close eye on the house as he arrived within seconds after I did. Luckily, he was okay with it seeing I was not there to cause harm. A lot of farmers here aren't so accommodating. Cheers! :)

[@76southernpride]

really decent of the guy to give you permission. it appears that somebody renovated the downstairs in the late 60s, early 70s, but didn't bother with the upstairs. a really unique house.

[@janesmith1966]

At 1:30 I love those cut out cathedral window tiny rooms, what a wonderful place to sit in a chair and have a little prayer 🙏 Their almost like a tiny chapel in the house. I love these old buildings because @ one time it was someone's home. I do not understand why people try to put feelings into a old home, scary feelings, something bad is going on..there's nothing going on, a happy family once lived here and now it's no longer safe why do people have to read anything more into these? 🏡🌾

[@honeycombcomplex3716]

Very good quality I'm glad no vandals has got to it. Thanks for uploading another great explore!

[@stevefranklin8052]

This house is a work in progress. bathroom was spotless CLEAN.as were other areas. obviously not abandoned as you spoke to the OWNER! Hope he was able to finish it. love your videos!

[@donnabrown4349]

The wood doors are beautiful! I like the calendar too. What a great find. The window too. What a pretty house.

[@Naisho07]

Kudos to the farmer letting you look around : ) Great vid!

[@madebyJake12]

This house was probably built in the late 1850-60s. We've got a similar house here in Milwaukee that looks just like this one (it was built in 1851). The exterior brick looks old and original as well. It always amazes me how they where able to tuck little rooms under such small roof!

[@sharonrock53]

Another winner! Loved it and it was very nice of the farmer to let you go through the old place. I love old farm houses and the history that surrounds them. Very fascinating and looking forward to watching more of your videos!! :)

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Sharon. I hope you continue to enjoy! :)

[@rellegirl100]

I wish that one day someone who lived in one of these homes will come across your videos.

[@firebombclipper]

Great channel. I stumbled across your videos last night. My wife an I bought one of these neglected 125 year old Ontario farm houses 14 years ago in the Ottawa valley, for next to nothing. Places like this are really a labour of love to restore. I don't think people realize the amount of hours work that it takes to properly bring these century + homes back to their original glory? Hopefully your rambles through these old beauties will inspire others to lovingly restore part of their history!

[@TikiTrex]

Definitely a labour of love. I can only imagine the amount of work involved to restore these places back to their glory, but I can also imagine it was well-worth it in the end. I admire you both for doing so. And welcome to my channel!

[@mykenwood830]

well thats a livable house. New roof and some plastering and paint/wall paper and ya got a great house ! Thanks again Pam ! Awesome as always :) From your friend in Pa. :)

[@TikiTrex]

You're most welcome, and thank you for the nice comment!! :)

[@teckelhut]

Funny thing about this. Out of all the places I have watched you explore, I get an evil feeling from this one. I don't know why.

[@ailinos]

I kind of agree. It's almost like something else is going on here, everything seems... Too pristine.

[@reneewright6956]

***** yeah..until you get to the spring mattress tucked away in the attic...and the calendar that dates back to 1961....I wish the farmer had given more of a back story for this one.

[@ailinos]

Renee Wright Yeah, in fairness to Pam it's great she even got to document this place. Sounds like the farmer has it set to be demolished, I don't get a great impression from this farmer tbh.

[@TikiTrex]

***** You're right, Alan. This farmer was not very friendly at all when he pulled up and saw me there outside. I was surprised he let me go in, so I wasn't going to push my luck.

[@shahnjessep122]

I felt exactly the same! There was just something creepy about it. And what was behind that partition??

[@johnpowell3543]

Very nice place still. It looks like it wouldn't take too much to get it inhabitable again. I do find it strange that the bedrooms look so much more disintegrated than the other rooms. I wondered if the 1870 on the door was the year it was built also. Cool place.

[@cwb0051]

Bit of an odd house, with some interesting features, loved those windows too..Thanks again Pam for taking us along..

[@dorothyseltzer8989]

I loved the little sun room addition. I would love to live in and fix up that beauty of a house.

[@karenlindsey5988]

The layout of this house is so unique! Probably due to add ons. They obviously never added on to the upstairs of the house tho. I really enjoy when you walk us thru the entire house with hardly any stops of the camera. I love to see the layouts of all these houses and how all of the rooms are connected. U are so great at video tours! Keep up the super work and keep em coming!

[@ModeneGunch1]

Another good explore. Loved seeing the inside of this house! :)

[@samuelfritz2446]

The gothic front gable looks like such an afterthought - like the house was complete then they decided to tack in onto the roof afterwards lol

[@StivNagen]

Yet another fine video journey, Pam. Thanks for taking me along.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks!

[@AbandonedSteve]

Awesome video! Also good when you get permission. A sometimes tense time can now be relaxing. Good stuff!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Steve! I agree. It sure made for a much more relaxing explore. I wish they could all be that way. My heart jumped when he first showed up, though. At least he had an open mind in seeing I was only documenting and not there to vandalize. Not many like him around here.

[@Lkmurillo]

I was going to say that house looked and screamed like 1960s and 70s. Very nice find. Creepy basement

[@Pixiedustjunkie]

oh, I love everything about this house! the bathroom and wallpapers are amazing!

[@pleps5]

A great find for this house still retains some of cleanliness and elegance in spite of the long time I am a follower of your channel wonderful and so very happy Keep you strength you salute

[@decayexplorer9688]

This channel was so inspiring for my own exploring since I was first explored in summer of 2015

[@buttergirlist]

I love this house, I can live there, I even like their old curtains. Thanks for the upload. Great job.

[@akretowicz]

Isn't abandoned exploration fun? I love it, and do it as often as I can. Love your videos. Please keep them coming.

[@TikiTrex]

I agree, and am glad you enjoy my videos. More to come.

[@dawnamoon]

Wow beautiful house, well maintained. its a shame that this one is abandoned. Great video:)

[@TikiTrex]

It is a shame. Thanks, Cynthia. :)

[@ailinos]

Wahoo! So happy to see you've uploaded another video Pam! Another great find :)

[@TikiTrex]

Awesome, Alan! Glad to hear that. Thanks for commenting as usual. :)

[@ailinos]

***** You're very very welcome! :)

[@jimblue39]

Another neat house. I was going to say it looks real good when you first came in, then the age started to show. Still it would not take much to fix the place up. Thank you Tiki.....enjoyed it as always.

[@TikiTrex]

Glad to hear, Jim!

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I had the same thoughts Jim.

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

Great video as always Pam. Parts of this house on the first floor looked like with just a little work it could be lived in again, however, as we progressed up stairs it got much worse. I believe the damage begins when the roof is not re-roofed and starts to leak. the ceilings and walls start falling apart, mold starts growing due to the dampness. The wood starts to rot, all due to a leaking roof. I love these old houses, the cathedral windows were awesome. Thanks for showing it to all of us Pam. Stay safe and healthy. Steve, Lake Elsinore California

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Steve. I noticed that the upstairs was worse than the main level as well. Leaking roofs seem to be what gives decay its foothold. It's all downhill after that. Thanks for joining me!

[@kroakie4]

If this house was built in the 1800's (like the date on the wall suggested) it'd be a real terrible thing for it to be torn down. Especially with it being in such nice shape.

[@abandonedsc4261]

This one was interesting parts looked good and even newer like the bathroom and some parts looked not so good like the upstairs ceiling It looked like it was very nice when it was lived in. like the woodwork. Great Job. glad everything worked out good with the owner. Thanks for going the extra mile to show us this one. Stay safe out there!

[@TikiTrex]

Yeah, this one was sure a mystery with the varying degrees of decay and lack thereof throughout. Thanks for stopping by, Jason!

[@vickinoeske1711]

LOVE the bathroom, so vintage. Farmer should rent or sell. The house is cute. Thanks for tour - ur awesome.

[@asankaw1]

Another fantastic video that i was waiting for...that paneled room looks like a secret room with the old calendar locked in....its a pretty neat house. ..must have had its happy days...sad to see it will be gone soon..thank you for the best videos. ..i hope you get to visit us in the western part of the country. ..

[@MoreForMo24]

Loved the windows in this house. It felt very welcoming and warm

[@Jemalacane0]

Swanky! A little work and some hedges between the road and the house and you have a nice place.

[@spiritwolf522]

Hi Tiki! Love your videos! Its strange to see that calendar set to the month and year I was born! By the looks of it, I was born on a monday. The house looks in pretty good shape, It wouldn`t take much to fix up maybe. Take Care, be safe out there!

[@michaelh7429]

Beautiful door casings in the living room......love your vids...your the best out there

[@Hollyweeds]

Great video as always. The Gothic window was so beautiful. Thanks!

[@susanga.2795]

wow inside very pretty little details walls still good shape owner taking good care of his un-used house. may have been his mom house once time. or his from way back. nice work tiki as always. yes upstairs was bit small but cutie. ty for sharing :)

[@gbpetitt]

Hello TIKI! Glad the owner let you in. Cool vid! Much mystery here. There were heating devices there that were manufactured after the calendar date you recorded. I imagine a house full of children. Cows, Pigs, Chickens. Corn fields. Vegetable gardens on the property. Big dog fed on table scraps. Just had a root canal on a molar! The meds will wear off soon!

[@TikiTrex]

Hi gbppitt! Sorry to hear the meds will be wearing off, lol.

[@LEGN0ME1]

The bathroom sink at the begining looks like a more recent one, sink and top two tone one piece. The fuse panel in the basement is newer (last 25 years) and next time you see a gas/propane hot water tank see if there is build date on it's labels. Thanks for the upload, I enjoy them!

[@MegaMouse30]

This was a beautiful house, certainly not F'd up :) I think the house told it's own story, it belonged to someone who cared a great deal about it, thank you for showing it to me.

[@claire040776]

When you went upstairs and the window was up there facing the driveway and road ...... I imagine making that a comfy reading nook or stacked with pillows and beanbags for kids.

[@NewEnglandOtaku]

Another excellent video! Sad to see that it's been demolished...

[@pbustos4145]

This was a nice property, good explore, thanks Pam!!

[@Clblackburn1969]

Thanks for the tour, house still in good condition compared to most... Loved it!!

[@TikiTrex]

The pleasure was mine, Chris. Glad you enjoyed!

[@tinkerspell4850]

Gosh, that place was actually really cute... I liked most of the wallpapers, even. :) Old, but cute.

[@Daniel28021991]

Beautiful house, I love the upstairs the most with the nice windows.

[@kimdkus]

It's not too bad, Pam. I love those upstairs windows, I hope he saves them. The house isn't in too bad of a shape, it would need some work. Sounds like he is going to tear it down. Sad.

[@janicebreault8599]

Looks like someone took good care of that house in its day. I noticed most of the door knobs were missing.Thanks for another nice vedios.

[@baragermyrna579]

Such beautiful woodwork and wood floors.Beautiful windows upstairs.

[@tester239]

***** The unit you mention as a 'furnace' is actually a hot water boiler plant. This unit heats up water in conjunction with a pump and moves it throughout the house in the cadet-style baseboard heaters. It can be really nice for heating and is sometimes used to also heat concrete floors and water pipes run through walls or ceilings. Unfortunately it has no cooling capabilities and doesn't provide air circulation like modern forced-air systems. Love your videos, keep it up.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks for the info on that. Glad you like the videos.

[@PonyPower71]

:( It's in better shape than the one I'm currently renting. Would love to restore this one. Thank you for sharing your amazing explorations Pam.You are the best!!

[@TikiTrex]

PonyPower71 Thanks!

[@ViperStarFilms]

Amazing, some parts looked as if someone was still living there

[@alexhostettler9789]

Great house, very good condition. It's easily livable with very little work, I would gladly take it! Btw, great video, as always!

[@herminrafa1578]

eventhough i can't speak english properly, i do understand what you are saying...good naration and clear voice , tiki...also great video as always😍..your fan from indonesia^^

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Hermin! I'm also glad you can understand my English. Cheers from Canada :)

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Thanks Pam, what a house, shame the farmer was in a rush. history would have been nice, but we are loving that new camera..

[@TikiTrex]

You're welcome, Craig! Actually, this was the old camera again. I was finding the new camera super heavy. My old camera is like an old boot to me, lol.

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Well it doesn't matter how old it is, it's how you use it.. lovely camera work :]]]]]]]]]]]

[@TikiTrex]

Craig Cottingham Thanks, Craig! :)

[@Roadglide117]

Nice old house! Cool old tile and wood work, good character .

[@blane3562]

What a charming little house. I love things like this

[@smbrob]

It looks like it could be a great house to live in, with lots of space.

[@mashalena]

It's sad to see such good house abdonned! Thanks for sharing your video!

[@SadieBeast]

Lovely home. Better condition than most of the apartments I lived in starting out. Run some Lysol water, dust the floors, turn on the furnace, and move in.

[@HappyTrekkie]

This house was very well kept and very clean. Adorable little home. Great job, Tiki

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you.

[@SorePaws_]

Loved those windows in the attic. If you videos show us anything, it's that they don't make 'em like they used to.

[@missycat5783]

Thanks Tiki, another interesting tour. Love those windows!

[@nancybarnhill9235]

Thank you. You are sooooo very good at this stuff. Nice days to you Sweetie!!!

[@McAVITYourWay.]

I just notice an earlier comment on the numbers on the attic door, (1870) 13:27 that date could be the original build maybe?

[@TikiTrex]

It could very well be! I am so used to seeing spray painted numbers and letters from taggers, that I guess it just gets tuned out like "white sight".

[@kardro1]

***** I noticed that as well. I thought it might be the date when the house was constructed but I wasn't sure.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I believe that would be the year of construction! I was reading through the comments before to see if anyone else noticed the year. Currently we live in a house that was built in 1890 and an addition put on in 1980. I grew up in a house built in 1904.

[@johncaballero8013]

Despite needing some work this house actually is in really good shape. I don't suppose the owner of the property is planning to sell? With some work this could be a great place to live and raise a family. Thank you for posting this video :) By the way, what part of Canada is this?

[@TikiTrex]

You're very welcome. It's in Southwestern Ontario.

[@muskndusk]

+John caballero The road probably detracts from its value, but I agree that the house itself is in relatively good shape and needs just a little tlc.

[@RJL738]

Thank you for getting this beautiful site.

[@bonniekaye]

A beautiful home! Thank you for sharing!

[@MarySFerguson]

Clean considering it been vacant. Thanks for the sweet video.

[@superblather]

another great video! sometimes, I wish I could go with you when you explore.

[@GrandWagJeep]

Wow, another amazing house! I would love to fix it up, it has so much potential. The smoke detector and dryer outlet are fairly recent, within 15-20 years. The Rheem water heater and electrical panel are around 20 years old. That boiler has been replaced as well. I'd guess someone invested heavily in that house in the mid 90s. The new porch almost looks newer, so perhaps the house has seen several attempts at rehabilitation. Oh, that other water heater in the corner is just the old one. Sometimes repairmen will just leave them behind if they're too much trouble to remove.

[@NolaHarris]

So glad to see another terrific video. You are the best!! Keep up the great work , love watching your work . Do you ever come to western Canada?

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you so much, Nola! I appreciate your kind words and am glad you love watching my videos. I have only been to Western Canada once briefly, but it is very beautiful there.

[@asankaw1]

***** which part of western canada did you visit?

[@TikiTrex]

asankaw1 It was Victoria, but I was only there for two days. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore the area more.

[@blucrystal1336]

Thanks for the tour,I enjoy your videos,you do a wonderful job.

[@TikiTrex]

My pleasure, Laurie. I'm glad to hear that.

[@peterjol]

that's a strange one..there was nothing about that house that made me feel as if I wouldn't mind doing it up and living in it.

[@johndoe3189]

i like those blue bathroom tiles...pretty cool

[@janramey9811]

Beautiful blue and black bathroom! I have never seen any with that color combination or with that basket weave tile. It is typical to do an "ell" add on which from the outside pictures seems to be what they did. They often did it for more room or when updating to add baths and kitchens. Also probably why they had exterior doors between the original house and where you came in. At least it sounds like he plans to save some things, though I would hope he would sell the whole house to someone so they could move it. But, even if he tears it down instead, that is better than vandals, rot, or thieves!

[@Missfireblossom]

I love that 1961 calendar!

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

Another great find, even though it's empty. When you first looked down toward the basement, the stairway area quickly reminded me of the movie 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle'. The basement stairs in that film was similar to this one. Again, thanks for posting the awesome videos! -- Alex.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks, Alex. Now that you mention it, I see what you mean about the basement stairway area resembling the ones in that movie.

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

You're so welcome, Pam. I would love to have this style of house. I like the new entry way. It kind of looks like the front of a church entry way. It's quite unique, in my opinion.

[@AndreaWanting]

"Don't f anything up" "Why I found that funny I don't know.... A real beauty and as you said well appoint home.

[@brigganthewolf1461]

this house looks so clean on the inside!

[@rickster348]

neat old house, - Thanks for sharing!

[@shebacoppit7008]

Nice house and video! Thanks for always sharing!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks for watching!

[@JimForeman]

Those two tanks in the basement are both water heaters, one electric and the other gas of some sort. RE: the date of 1870 on the attic side of the door at 13:27. The door looks like it could be of that time as well as the laid stone foundation in places.

[@AppalachianPythons78]

Wow!!! This is one AMAZING home!!! I love all your videos, but this house in particular had a totally different feel to it...almost like someone just moved out and someone else was gonna be moving right in after a few repairs...strange, but beautiful nonetheless! Keep 'em coming!

[@68BarbP]

I love this house. Reminds me of my youth!
