Abandoned- Hidden Gem! Classic 1910 villa kept in same family 93 years/Nursery business

[@MrGaryRoberton]

The House, Long outlived the owner and destined to fade into the mists of time. There were so many features that should be saved. Homes from that era should be saved, but the land values are the reason so many vanish. Nice new crackerboxes for the next generation of soulless wretches to cherish. Thanks for recording this one. Cheers.

[@belleange590]

So many cracks!!!! Beautiful home. That front door is just amazing. I really hate that these homes are coming down.

[@brendendale2616]

That stained glass is magnificent. Thanks for the video, cheers mate.

[@urbexindigo5164]

No worries Brenden, cheers for watching again mate :-)

[@donettemiller7817]

Of all of the videos from youtubers that I have ever seen, yours is the saddest. Such beautiful architecture, stained glass, mantles, etc. 😥 It saddens me that they are wiping the land of its history. Your videos are unique that you capture the history before it's erased. It seems like they are doing a lot of tearing down only to build little boxes for people to live in. Give me the country & wide open spaces anyday. Thanks Paul for being the keeper of your country's history & for sharing it with the world. 👍💜🙋‍♀️🇺🇲

[@claire040776]

I love the white mantle with the mirror in it! The next mantle, that hasn’t been painted is even better!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Me too Claire ! :-)

[@claire040776]

Destroying homes like this is destroying history! It saddens me!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Sad seeing the vacant lot Claire, thanks for watching :-)

[@frankietaz272]

That back room would've been the smoko room for the workers i reckon. I felt a deep sadness with this house, almost like it was waiting for its family to come home. 😀👍

[@urbexindigo5164]

Good call on the smoko area Frankie, makes sense! :-) Yeah all that history and same family the old house seemed lonely for sure. Cheers for watching :-)

[@jeansiegel4128]

I hope the doors and knobs were saved as well. Greetings from New Jersey, USA!

[@sandrap3089]

Thank you for sharing these beautiful old houses and the history of them. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you like them Sandra, I really enjoy finding and filming them for you guys and girls to see! :-) Cheers

[@daviddanser7801]

What an amazing old Australian home. Beautiful old craftsmanship. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. Have a great day. Cheers mate! 😎

[@urbexindigo5164]

Your most welcome David :-) Glad you enjoyed this old beauty too. Thanks for watching :-)

[@francoiset1068]

Hi Paul,I Got a bit late , another nice old home with a nice history so sad that it's been demolished,I loved that beautiful entrance door, I really would like to salvage that garden bench n that lovely white flower pot I hope they did salvage those nice things, thank you for another great Friday night video ,big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺 have a safe n great weekend

[@annlennox1056]

nice home, beautiful leadlight, very interesting video.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Ann Lennox :-) Thanks for watching

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

you do a great job recording these place so that people can look back at beautiful old homes

[@urbexindigo5164]

That is my intent Kim, glad so many people are appreciating them. Hope to get back out in the country soon to find some old farm houses :-)

[@marybethsmith6458]

The house was rather plain but the left behind ornamentation kept it from being ugly. The mantels and stained glass were simply breathtaking. No way it could be saved with as much subsidence as it had. Have a blessed day.

[@simonsanakidis8757]

Old houses like this should never be knocked down ... that led light was amazing it had potential

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep I agree with that Simon :-) Thanks for watching :-)

[@simonsanakidis8757]

I can't wait to see your next video

[@user-randi1987]

I really hope that mantle and the stained glass found a new home where they are appreciated

[@bro031]

What a F*#king waste of a beautiful old house as someone who doesn’t own their own house I would have loved to have this house and made it mine.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep I`m hearin ya Aussie Kelpie! I`m in the same boat as a renter! lol :-) I would love an old villa like this . thanks for watching :-)

[@celeniaesternon169]

Urbex Indigo k

[@meganpaull6140]

Oh wow Paul this house took my breath away absolutely beautiful and I love the history behind the house so sad that it is gone forever love the mantles and the beautiful stained glass.

[@urbexindigo5164]

It was a beauty for sure Megan. I think it originally had a hallway arch too it you look at the pillars. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)

[@Jacquie571]

Great Catch, Keep em coming xxx

[@carrollhagerman6896]

I agree with Claire it brakes my heart to see another one good.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep totally Carroll. Thanks for watching :-)

[@janelleconnell5843]

Thanks for another great explore 😀

[@tisjstme5315]

Wow... Beautiful brick exterior. I see it had that large slate tile lino. I had both green and brown is places I lived in through the late 70's and 80's. That is a gorgeous wooden mantle. Such a beautiful light switch next to the front door, never seen one like that before. Could have been a granny flat too.

[@gladysserrano6476]

Another beautiful home.. love it

[@sallya.2412]

This was a lovely home. I love the antique stain glass decor and fireplace mantels. Sad to see them get demolished for some development to come along. Thank you for getting it on video before they are gone. Such a shame.

[@claire040776]

Love the orange light fitting in the hall way!

[@helengrunow5094]

Gorgeous old house! Thanks & Cheers!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Helen, thanks for watching :-)

[@timareskog2418]

The sharp lines, edges and precise fitment of the outer brick work is amazing. Credit is due to both the quality of the brick makers and the bricklayers. I noticed where the phone point was in the hallway by the dark wear marks on the wall, obviously once there stood a phone table with attached seat base that you had to use the wall as a back rest. The overall size of the land must have been at least 1 acre, possibly 1.5 acre, wow what a grand block to have ! Thanks for sharing another superb piece of history.

[@slarson8044]

Fantastic tour. What a beautiful stain glass door. I hope they save it. Thank you for this video.

[@jdexploresfan3628]

Front door with the glass and fireplace is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the awesome explore mate 😃👍

[@simonba9944]

What a lovely old place. 1900-1940s is about the best ever in terms of Australian home construction. It's a shame about the subsidence that blights these old places though. Great explore. Cheers. 👍

[@sharmainecherie]

What a stunning old home such a shame its gone 😔 thanks for sharing 👍

[@catb-w5212]

The stanglass and lights were beautiful

[@urbexindigo5164]

Absolutely :-)

[@kx2437]

I enjoy your videos all the way from Arizona🌵

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

What a charming little home. It seems to have had wider halls that others of this timeframe that you've shown us. It was nice not to see vandalism, I do hope the salvaged what they could, so much of what they seem to consider "garbage" could be used by lower income families. Thanks for another good find!!!!-- SDK

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

IT'S SO SAD THE HOUSE WAS TORN DOWN THERE'S NOT MANY HOMES LEFT,JUST HOUSES. THANK YOU FOR FINDING AND SHOWING THEM TO US.HOPE THEY SALVAGED THE STAINED GLASS AND THE DOORS.

[@heatherfrances3678]

love the old wooden mantle, wow nice and the old light switch at front door nice

[@lladylobo1]

Beautiful home. Everything seems fairly original to the time it was built. I loved the stained glass and the light in the hall. What a thrill to find that old mantle without paint on it. Nice to see the color of the wood. Again, I want to thank you for keeping these buildings in our memories even though they may be gone physically.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Doreen :-) Yes still very much original and I have a feeling there may have been a hall arch and it may have been removed, but not sure. Thanksfor watching :-)

[@lynneperg6853]

There were some beautiful details in this place. The mantles, stained glass windows and that lovely light, I sure hope they were salvaged. Large lot, elderly owners who passed away and greedy developers, a familiar theme. I'm very glad that you are documenting these historic losses. Perhaps the local historical society might be interested in putting out a book in collaboration with you? Your camera work is excellent. Have a great weekend. Until next time, from Michigan, stay safe and healthy.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Lynee, thanks for for the kind support :-) Yep all the nice things you mentioned were salvaged as I saw those things gone just prior to demo. The book sound like a good idea too! :-) Thanks for watching

[@lindahh798]

I agree on the camera work!! Can't you just see families living there. I do pray they save the mantle, the beautiful front stained glass windows...even the doorknobs! .

[@leabarto8156]

Lovely old home. The wall cracks are indeed worrisome but it could have been dealt with. I would love to live there. Such a shame it's gone. I always look forward to your videos yet they are bittersweet sometimes. I am so glad you are documenting these beautiful places before they are only memories. I love exploring my area as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Good to hear you are out exploring too Lea. Glad you liked this one too, thanks for watching :-)

[@windhorse4straveler647]

Such lovely colors in the door. It may have a structural damage, but seems sturdy enough for another century.

[@joellenb8671]

What a beauty!! Such a waste, but I do see all those big cracks, so there are some issues. Hope they saved the stained glass windows, mantles and the old door fittings etc. As orange is my favourite colour I would have loved that light fixture by the front door. Love the white plant urn by the back shed too. Guess it all went under a grader/bulldozer or just got picked apart by a crane 😢

[@donnabeard9344]

Wow the stuff that can be salvaged out of this one. Hope they did. Love those doors and door knobs. The stained glass goes without saying

[@pruehardwick1269]

Wow! The colours in that led lighting were amazing! They'd had to have saved that whole front door surely 🤞the door handles were very pretty. The mantles were quite nice too. I had the same 'oh' moment when I saw the dark wood mantle aswell!! Bet the floor boards under the carpet would have been lovely in it's day too. Goodbye to another home, that was once loved😔

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for showing us.

[@urbexindigo5164]

My pleasure Sarah, thanks for watching :-)

[@ghostrider9978]

I love it when there’s a backstory attached to the home so great work on this one .I wonder when the cracks first started appearing in these period homes. I’d suggest the increase in heavy traffic or traffic in general probably accelerates the cracking and ground subsidence.Those small fireplaces would be for coal ??? they look a bit small for firewood but the mantles were lovely and clearly you were excited to see them left .Top job mate ,, enjoy the weekend.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey mate! :-) Yeah Adelaide soil is renown for subsidence and building codes were changed in the late 60`s to combat that. The fireplaces have the coal face cover over the original opening for mostly visual purposes. Traffic and road upgrades prob for sure did not help. Glad you enjoyed the extra history mate, cheers for watching :-)

[@fatihaidrissi2743]

Loved the stained glass windows and fireplaces but so sad that it is gone forever. Thank you for the find.

[@lisakemp7352]

Pretty cool !Love the windows

[@Dontwantahandle0]

Beautiful home, so happy you shared it before it was gone. For it's age, it was very well cared for.

[@donellemiller6680]

Another heart break :-( . I agree they need to salvage the stain glass and those beautiful mantles. Wonder if they removed the wood arch in the hall when they remodeled the home? It seemed to be missing, but so did beautiful wood floors (buried under carpet). Thank you so much for sharing this gem. I really worry about your safety when you explore an area like that pantry with the foundation issues. Not that you would jepordise your safety, but a large truck nearby could vibrate the walls stability. Please, be safe!!

[@sheilahadden302]

What a shame it has to go. That beautiful front door was very similar to one that my brothers house had, here in South Africa. Great video!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sheila :-) Yeah I never tire of seeing the nice stained glass in those door entries! Thanks for watching :-)

[@debraellison6255]

The stained class took my breath away. The light fixture was one of my favorites. I guess if someone offers you a good deal of money that you don't have and the foundation repair would be unreachable I would probably have a heavy heart to sell. Leave it sit too long and vandals would destroy it. Mother nature will take it back as well. At least the most beautiful parts will be salvaged and enjoyed by someone else. Good bye ole girl. You made a family happy for a long time. Thanks for sharing.

[@joharmon2148]

Yes so sad to see this old beauty gone to cheap crap housing. I sure hope they saved those gorgeous stained glass windows. I wonder if that lot behind the garage was where the nursery was? Yes more history gone just like where I live not much remains here either and it was a very historic town. Take care Paul and be safe

[@johndistefano9056]

Keep your good work going

[@urbexindigo5164]

I will try John, thanks for the support John and for watching :-)

[@johndistefano9056]

History is going to be gone. Your work will remind most of us what it was 5

[@julieamerican2383]

That old sideboard/buffet in the "man cave" would make an excellent liquor cabinet. The orange(?)pendant light in the hall entry was beautiful. Does Adelaide have a Habitat for Humanity program there? We do in the US. We also have ReStores, which people can buy salvaged materials,appliances etc. The proceeds go into the rehab or build new homes for low income families.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Julie :-) I do know there are stores that deal in the the salvaged items and the demo companies have outlets too. Luckily the stained glass was saved in this one :;-) Thanks for watching

[@kenem1946]

Thanks, Paul. I think a book of your very best is in the offing ... I can imagine some great colour plates. Food for thought?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Ken :-) That would be a very interesting thing to do I must admit :-) Cheers mate :-)

[@pamelahoberg1800]

I agree with you Ken....I would certainly buy one

[@kenem1946]

Thanks my friend for sharing this video with me about the Abandoned Hidden Gem ! classic 1910 villa kept in the same family 93 years/ Nursey it was a very beautiful house and thanks for sharing this with me i am from the U.S.A and i really enjoyed your channel always and God Bless you my friend and keep up the good work making these videos.

[@julzcares]

Thanks Urbex Indigo for another interesting explore of a once beautiful characteristic Edwardian home with such grand stained glass entry, spacious rooms and stone facade. If only the walls could talk. It’s a pity that so much history goes to waste and this home was demolished.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep Julz another old classic gone. Awesome stained glass in this one! Cheers again for digging up the history! :-) Thanks for watching :-)

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Very nice stained glass and a beautiful fireplace, and again cracks in the walls, they should start building on concrete poles i guess, nice explore thnx.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Rolf, yeah the Adelaide soil is renown for subsidence. Thanks for watching :-)

[@maristresemann4552]

That laundry area was in an odd place?! But the stained glad was so beautiful. Can you imagine waking up every day to seeing that!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yeah I think it used to be in beside the kitchen maybe? Thanks for watching Mari :-)

[@nancykoon7268]

Another great find. The stained glass is spectacular. I hate that this house is going to be demolished. What a waste. Cheers

Loving cleaned before demolished. I hope they rescued those features e.g. stain glass, mantle peace etc.

I hope the stain glass windows are safed, the cracks must be a sign of either subsidence or poor foundations. Glad you can film the buildings before they disappear

Amazing home! And the bathroom is untouched for a change. But I do notice it has some very bad foundation cracks. So i can see a very good reason for it being demoed...sad as it is. But that how it is. Quite the history it had.

Hi MROnyxWOLF Yeah the foundation problems are always a reason they knock down and start again which is such a shame. Thanks for watching :-)

[@michaelbrodie2739]

Now my brain has proper blood flow to it. I have just remembered that I worked with the grandson of the Grimes 20+ years ago. I remember meeting the family a nice bunch of people. I wonder if you can purchase those salvage items in a yard sale or via auction? Does anyone know?

[@thevacdude]

What a nice house. I'm happy you're preserving these houses on video. We'll look back and go, what happened to this house? I do hope they save everything. Thanks for the tour.

[@aroraousby3131]

Is a shame to see the house has to go...I love the stained windows...beautiful looking glass

[@nancybarnhill9235]

Again, so sad. It seems common for Australian homes ( the older classics) to have that beautiful entryway glass in them. I wasn’t fond of that light in the entryway. It was too amber for my taste 😻.do you know if they’re going to build little crap apartments here? Also it’s weird to me how there’s very small single sinks in all of the kitchens and big double sinks in the laundry rooms. Just a shame. Also I don’t see many dishwashers in these homes. I’m just spoiled I guess from growing up and living in California. Thank you again for your hard work. I’d love to see Nicolai. 😻😻
