You are an awesome explorer. Very detailed! Love it 🥰🥰🥰

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thank you so much Robin :-) Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching and supporting :-)

[@pattigolden1]

It always saddens me to see old homes destroyed... Greed shouldn't win. 😢

[@Thetis058]

😭😭😭😭 An history is lost to developers again so friggen sad . These where all family homes and many memories where made there . Thank you for showing us and again yes documenting the existence of these homes as they once where .

[@michellecobb2158]

I think it’s so sad ripping down little treasures to build cement ugly boxes At least we will have your videos to show future generations what houses looked like thanks

[@urbexindigo5164]

Well said Michelle, so many home buyers would love to have one of these to cherish. Developers get in early with offers though unfortunately. Thanks for watching :-)

[@paulonorato7501]

There are areas that do have them. Some of them need to be gone.

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

I love the old concrete three laundry sinks made things to last back then and now they make great garden bed for your herbs always good to reuse and repurpose

[@julzcares]

Adelaide is known for beautiful stone Symmetrical villas lining many streets within the older established suburbs. It is a real pity that so many of the villas are being destroyed to make way for modernised concrete cookie style buildings. Hopefully the beautiful stained glassed windows and old original fire places will be selvaged before demolition. I absolutely love the lime stone facade with the quoining that sets this symmetrical villa apart from most modern day builds. There also appears to be two additions to the back of the villa. The first additon where the kitchen is and then the second section most likely added onto later. Thank you Paul for capturing this lovely old gem before it will be lost forever.

[@karilynjaquest8739]

Recognise the floral lino back from when I was a little kid decades ago. I wonder how many soulless looking units go up in place of the houses. Thanks for the walk through

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Karilyn :-) Yes this site is enormous......I dread to think the ugliness going to go up here. Thanks for watching :-)

[@stavabasham543]

ok

[@bevolson7619]

Unusual fireplace..

[@TheSnowLeopard]

I've finally figured out where these are. Bastard developers knocked down a nice looking bungalow up the street about a year ago too!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi mate :-) Yeah I knew you would work it out after this video, had to be more secretive in the initial video as the old car was still there. So many nice old homes being erased....cheers for watching :-)

[@philquadra]

The art deco dresser is beautiful!

[@lozzii1917]

I had lived in one in my very very haunted late Victorian early Edwardian house I absolutely hated the negative energy and atmosphere in house we had it exorcised several times by the Church it was really nice property originally had 20to30ft almost narrow back garden loads trees then council took 65percent of it maybe more as only left with bairly 10feet in length of garden all because council wanted the land to build houses on it. It was our pet cemetery of all the wildlife we found sick, dying and injured tried repeatedly and desperately to make them better the ones that sadly didn't make it were put in makeshift coffin usually margarine tub or biscuit tins lined with tissue paper and kitchen towels then buried after little graveside funeral service and Prayers usually under the trees. Theses houses are getting exceptionally very very hard to find that has not been desecration ie all absolutely gorgeous stunning cornicing, stain glass entrance and porch, high ceilings, fireplaces, large rooms, loads natural light, huge massive gardens etc etc now everything gets demolished and or totally removed its totally soul destroying I would do anything in my power to re live in Victorian or Edwardian or somewhere in between property obviously not haunted be nice but being very severely disabled I've got no chance unless I found one with back extension that suits the original house to make room for lift I suppose I can only dream about it. I can understand why these places need loads work but surely I no it can be done in way it respects and signifies the history of property to replace all the dangerous lead pipes and electrical system it can be done with out wrecking and bulldozing the place I had friend like me passionate on old places managed to get house virtually untouched minus ripped out aga and fireplaces after checking with neighbour managed to go to reclamation yard and got everything for property even got bed her great grandmother would had for health safety mattress would most defiantly not meet fire regulations. Took her and her husband as well as family and friends in various trades which helped enormously to keep costs down and took them many many months of back breaking hard work but they did it made it into really lovely family home the children now respect and appreciate the history of it each morning and evening when they do there Prayers they did extra one for all the previous residents. Find my past has new search facility in drop down bit you can look up an address see who lived there if nothing comes up there's maps for 1850s, 1900s and 2000s not correct dates but similar eras I'm half a sleep I can't think straight but it's costly subscription if never signed up before register for free trial of 5days remember to cancel before it ends or u be charged this is for the UK don't no overseas costs or free trials. Thanks again for awesome beautiful wonderful video so shameful these places are lost for ever

[@kimgee4821]

Back in the 60’s my great Aunty had the same type of fireplace in her home. Her house no longer standing. Her ceiling were beautiful with grapes and flowers on them. As kids we use to lay on our backs and paint them with imaginary paint. Family sold the house and now there is a horrible two storey house on the land.

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

I hate that developers are destroying all the old houses.Some are really worth saving.but they don't care.I really like the linoleum floor coverings.we had beautiful ones when I was a kid.Take care,enjoy these videos very much.thank you.👍😍❤️🇺🇸

[@lianapalumbo8457]

It's because of what's happening to our suburbs and the feeling of everything closing in, is why I moved out to the country. I just can't understand why people think living in concrete boxes is fine!!! Great explore Paul, thank you 👍🏼

[@joansmall9019]

I love these houses, I always try to imagine how they were before.

[@AndrewBeecher1967]

Hey urbex indigo, great well produced video again thanks.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew :-) Thanks for watching mate :-)

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Very sad. I found it interesting that the “new” one has only been vacant for a couple of weeks here, but it looks as if it’s dirtier and in worse condition than the others. I did go back to watch the older video first. Thanks for bringing us videos of these homes!

[@karilynjaquest8739]

I had a friend in the late seventies who lived with her Italian grandparents around the corner from Ashfield hospital. The house was similar with a huge yard that had been planted out with grape vines and a press, fruit trees galore, chickens ,ducks and pheasants for the table. The vegie garden was phenomenal. Very self sufficient. Its no longer there 😔

[@ghostrider9978]

Beautiful, been waiting for this all morning. Last week was a ripper too mate .

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching and your support :-)

[@meganpaull6140]

Hi Paul so beautiful loved all three loved the explores of the other two loved all the classic furniture hope they get saved. Rotten developers getting their hands on these beautiful homes cherished family memories gone forever and that they can not be rebuilt in place of ugly boxes the words on the rain tank were very touching. Nature taking over the old dunny. Thank you soo much again:-) :-)

[@lakefromeshippingcompany]

Thanks for a very entertaining explore on this long weekend. Those huge backyards seem to go on forever. it was a shame that the old stove had been removed from the first house because I always like to see them. Yes, I got the feeling that the family photo had been placed there as a tribute to the house's former residents.

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

Glad someone saved that old car. The photo and the graffiti seem like protests to having their homes stolen from them. I look forward to what you find out on their history.

[@ken_tiki5241]

By the lack of any recent renovations it looks like that place was a rental property for quite a few years. Probably a share house

[@urbexindigo5164]

Good call Ken I think your right on that. I saw a little old Italian man removing the caravan last week, I bet he was the actually owner clearing out what he was storing there. :-) Cheers for watching

[@fatfrogfarm]

Will you talk about those water tanks that are near so many homes there? I sure like your videos!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi FFF :-) Yes those tanks are classic Australian rain water tanks. They were used to catch the rain of the roofs of the homes and then be used for drinking/shower and everything else before plumbing was available. Some used to sit up un stands to gravity feed the shower :-)

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

What a shame these will be gone, good your telling their story. thank you

[@marybethsmith6458]

They totally ruined the look of the house when they dropped the ceiling. My sister let them talk her into adding dropped ceilings after a chimney fire to her 1918 house and she hates them. Now wishes she had made them restore the original ceilings.

[@Pruzie83]

How these three homes would have been in their time. I just wanted to take that false ceiling down and have a squiz what was really there, like cornises and ceiling roses. I was hoping those floor boards in the dry cellar had come up, cheers for the walk through👍

[@simonsanakidis8757]

Great find with these 3 homes , such great character , past, present and future people used to live in these houses and now they are getting demolished

[@MrOnyxWolf]

I swear old-era homes will be extinct one day. That's a future I dread...let's hope it doesn't come to that...

[@urbexindigo5164]

Well said Mr OW :-) Adelaide is lucky it has a lot of them but a lot of them are also being erased.....cheers for watching :-)

[@catb-w5212]

The way there going they want have any old home left no history it's very sensitive putting all these beautiful homes

[@lladylobo1]

I was fascinated by the thistle tile in the fireplace in the room just next to the kitchen. It was beautiful. The rest of the house was just about as expected. I do love the quirks of that ers: the colored glass and the arches. Thanks for another initial tour.

[@mariehlavacek2675]

I am looking forward to the followup video!! You're awesome!! Thankyou for documenting these homes!!

[@francoiset1068]

Hi Paul,these three homes had each something different n beautiful of that era ,my dream is to one day get one of those cars n just go for weekend country drives I always go to the car shows and dream I would of love to restore that beautiful black beauty . thank you for another great video have a great week and see you next Sunday ,big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺

[@daleleeder3534]

Another great place, so many lovely features, If that house was mine, all the tea in China would not make me part with such a gem, they say money is the route of all evil and it sure is and responsible for the destruction of so may beautiful historical homes around the world! I absolutely detest developers, makes me so mad 😡😭

The piece of furniture in the back of the shed is a chaise lounge. 🙂

[@alexandraradio]

These homes are magnificent ! So much history. I would just be too scared (and i think i may have mentioned this before) that a rat would jump out at me or some weirdo hiding in a room. 😃

[@MrGaryRoberton]

easy to see why the developers are busting their boilers to get the land, I would estimate it at 2.75 acres. over 110 yrs. of living gone? same story here. I Call my City " Rip er Down town. Renters I would guess, several cars says Shared Accommodations. Money runs more than historic places however. Take Care .

[@tisjstme5315]

Mum's kitchen ceiling was almost like that pressed tin walls in the second home. Picture it with a mottled centre in the square and the spaces between them thinner but still had the flower like centres.

[@rosa-f4865]

I think 1st rental for students no wonder the developers want these with all that land . Shame they have to go xx

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yeah the land is huge ,i dread to think what is going to replace these old classics Rosa. Cheers for watching :-)

Great explore. Stay safe and healthy.

[@edwardlees2992]

About time your government started putting preservation orders on these property’s, it’s criminal what is being done to your country’s heritage. They all seem to have large gardens so couldn’t the gardens be sold off and keep the properties with much smaller gardens, that way you would still have your heritage intact.

[@edwinthompson6510]

Hi Paul that old 50s moggie miner worth a bomb ,,,, someone spirited it away,,,, few thousand bucks gone through the gate there,,,, seen a few and repaired a few in my repair days ,,,,,,,,,See ya later ,,, Edwin J

[@bethshadid2087]

I absolutely loved that first federation fireplace 💜. The one room with wall decor must've been a budding artist 😁. Wonder if the original home owners removed and took with them that old stove....I know I would as with the dresser....sure you can buy new one but not with the craftsmanship of the old. I've got my step dad's old dresser his parents gave him back in early 50s....sure it's from the 30s or 40s maybe older...love it. Great job as usual....stay safe 💗🕊️

[@andysuber941]

What was the trough looking thing on the floor of the back porch of the bluestone just to the left of the door?

[@debraellison6255]

The trough looking thing is a laundry sink. We had a double concrete one. It had wrought iron legs. Some were made of soap stone. They were first introduced during the Paris fair in the mid 1800's. They used them for soaking and washing clothes. I've seen one with a built in washboard. My mom soaked clothes before washing them if they had a lot of stains. Five kids made a lot of them. Some people got rid of them but now the antique ones are in demand. You find the small ones at your home improvement stores now and they are plastic. They call them utilities sinks.

[@elmin82]

Maybe that old car in that shed could be a collector's item. I remember it from the previous video.

Hi Paul, anoth as channel you'd like is... Ghost Town Living A young fella bought Cerro Gordo, Ca. He's restoring this old mining town..1866-1957. Yes,I have more time than money so I watch Utube historians. Keep those videos coming. 💋

[@aprilflick8676]

Very interesting, thank you.🦉

[@claire040776]

The thing in the shed that you weren't sure of the name of Paul, you said it would often be in front of the window, looks like a 'day bed' to me. (Somewhere where you could sit or lie and have a read or have a nap.)

[@claire040776]

Such a shame that they lowered the ceiling in this place! It looks ridiculous!

[@orionwarren4244]

Correct me if I'm wrong but having the 'power distribution box' in the front entryway either meant electricity was added to the home after it was built and it was a sign of pride to display the fact prominently, like exposed wiring was here in the states in late Victorian times or for ease of service/meter reading for utility employees so they didn't have to walk through the home and disturbing the household?

[@MushroomFromMars]

Where's Murial, I had to laugh at that mispronunciation. The backyards look big enough to half acre lots which is rare these days so close to I'd say West Adelaide, a true developers dream. That was a Chaise lounge in the shed. I'm surprised they did not flog the fireplaces too. Goodbye heritage, hello 'mundaneity'.

are the salvage companies privately owned? it sure looks like a good time to be in the salvage business :\ i guess if they are going to be torn down, some of it will be repurposed

Do these developers take precedence with your property and force you to leave. Am I correct in understanding that the homeowner has no choice in the matter?
