I live in South Africa, to give you an idea of what we live with, my nephew was murdered in the early hours of 2 November 2021. (We do not expect the murderers will be found, the police have still to start their investigstions). The house that he lived in was on a large piece of land, known as a 'plot' of at least 12 hectares. The property belongs to a family who have relocated to Cape Town. The house has been vandalized, almost stripped of everything, from ceilings to flooring, faucets, toilets, windows etc. It amazes me that there are such beautiful properties, that have not been touched. Makes me realize that where I live is not the norm. Thanks for such awesome footage..

Hi Isabelle 🙂Sorry to hear about your nephew 😞that is terrible. Here in Australia things are a bit more tame at least out in the country areas. If the homes are on a busy road or in the suburbs they tend to get vandalized to some degree. But there are many many old gems like this one just sitting. Most started out as the original farm homesteads and as the generations pass and grow up and move on to build their own homes these remain as the reminders of yester year. Cheers for watching 🙂

Abandoned in the 1970s or 80s. It sounds like Elsie on the greeting card lived alone there and then passed away. Why was the furniture moved around and the contents cleaned out? Maybe these pieces were pushed aside to make way for what they really wanted to take. If there was next of kin, wouldn’t they have sold the land? If it was sold, would the new landowner leave the house as it is? Elsie may have been taken to the hospital alive or dead way back then and that was that. People would have raided the house for the more portable items over the years. That bedroom with the toilet was probably for an invalid that either Elsie was caring for or was Elsie the invalid? Lots of questions. The answers lost in the distant past and it is distant. Nothing there is newer than 40 years old, apart from the VB cans left by squatters.

@@anSealgair Someone will own it. It’ll be on someone’s farm. The farmer may have built a newer home somewhere else on the farm or it may have been a farm managers house that wasn’t needed anymore. Farms used to require more workers than they do now. They’ve stacked the fireplace mantles like they were planning on selvaging them at some point. It was probably empty but liveable and slowly became empty and not liveable. Anyway, some farmer will own that and be aware of exactly what is in there.

Below the beautiful glass part of the cabinet and above the drawer and cupboards was a pull out shelf. This would be used for rolling out pastry or as a worktop. Everything that was needed was within reach in the cabinet. The later kitchenettes of the 50s and 60s were more enamel than wood, but they too had the pull out shelf to use as a worktop. There was just so many wonderful things in there.

I almost bought a pre-war wooden one about 20 odd years ago, but it wasn't quite as nice. A few years later they became quite popular as did much many wooden antiques, but brown wood has fallen out of favour again apart from with those who appreciate it. The things in that house that will always be popular are the Art Nouveau and Art Deco items. Everything in that house was not the 'standard model' - it all had that little bit extra. Even the sewing machine in the front room had fancy additions to the drawers and sides and would have been more expensive back in the day. Forgot to mention in my earlier posts that all singers can be identified as to when and where they were made by the serial number on the front (there is a metal piece in front of the main stem on the right side of the machine that holds the side wheel).

You are killing me! You said "bench" at the begining...it was a cabinet! All those beautiful pieces of furniture ..and you don't open the drawers!!! You open a book and leave it on the floor... I hope you speed it up on your next video. You need a new adj. "Pristine" damn I wish I had a dollar for everytime you said that word!

@@debrastory9457 You are complaining about the best explorer on YT, who has probably built up quite a bit of knowledge on what he sees, but humbly allows us to tell him what we are seeing. I have watched other explorers in the past who have no respect for the properties they are looking at (something which really angers me) or are constantly advertising or asking for donations. Urbex Indigo does none of this and finances all of his videos himself, which is ironic because he is one that I would donate to - even as a once a year thanks for all of the interesting explorations that he brings to us. Another irony is that you complained about him not opening drawers, but then in the next sentence tell him to speed it up in the next video. You can't complain about attention to detail when you are not doing the same yourself! '-) I take it that you had a bad day and just wanted to 'share' your mood, instead of moving on. Odd that you picked on Urbex Indigo to do so! P.S. You also complained about what you deem to be the overuse of a word - may I just say that overuse of the exclamation mark at the end of a point that you are trying to make doesn't make it look more powerful or even valid. To me it states the opposite. I would be much richer than you if I had a dollar for rolling my eyes at every post that overuses them. Hope you have a better day and engage brain fully before commenting when in a strop. :-) Edited to add my P.P.S. I have just watched this wonderful video again (thanks for the prompt!) because I wondered about the use of the word 'pristine' and couldn't recall it. Had to laugh as the word(s) that were actually used were 'pressed tin' - an accurate description which was used twice for different ceilings (there were many and some were wooden) and once for a fire screen. Sorry again that you had a bad day and that your hearing was off kilter, too! :-)

Well, who would have thought a piano located in a 1980’s abandoned house would be out of tune? I can’t believe it played at all. Love the stained glass in the doors. (Almost looked like plexiglass.) Btw, the Kelvinator refrigerators were made in Wisconsin until the 1980’s or so. Thanks for the tour of this once beautiful farmhouse!

The doors are typical late Victorian coloured glass. Usually ruby and cobalt glass often with obscured centre panel of etched glass. The green obscured glass is probably later. Those doors are still popular 😊

The old singer sewing machines and gramophones remind me of a lot of the stuff that my grandparents had in their home but hardly ever used anymore. Another thing that struck me was how incredibly well preserved everything is because of the dry Australian weather. If This Were in Oklahoma everything probably would have been rotted out by mold already and the ruse would have collapsed from exposure to storms.

When my mother was around 10 Year's old her younger cousins were playing hide and seek and one of her 6 Year old cousins hid in a Trunk and closed it. The parents and neighbor's looked for hours for him. Finally the children that were playing with him told the adults, "We know where he is, but he is sleeping and won't wake up 😢😥" Obviously when the adults went to the house 🏘️ next door to the Walk up attic the boy was DEAD from suffocation.
