Everytime I watch your videos, I can't help but to think what the houses looked like in it's heyday and how many families lived there. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen damage like this in a home when a chimney has collapsed or been removed without someone realizing they used to anchor the floors and walls to the chimney causing separation of floor and wall and eventual collapse. These old homes even log ones used to rely on a fireplace in every room to heat and usually had at least two chimneys one on each side. I loved the hand hewn logs. Great explore!
What an incredible find!! The structure itself is a marvel, without a doubt. That mid century pool table got me on first glance with it's partnering red couch peeking out from behind, but upon closer inspection I was floored to see the great condition it is in. The legs beneath gave away its Danish influence but the condition of the straps and the upholstery in its atomic design was incredible! The decal on the unfortunate pool table also confirmed this era. Upstairs at 11:45 I immediately recognized that medicine cabinet as being similar if not produced by the same company who made the one I have hanging over my sink. I painted my triangle supports with red enamel to offset the white of the cabinet while taking care of the corrosion issue, but after pausing the video I was able to confirm that it is indeed *Exactly* the same model I have but strangely this one is hung up side down! That kind of creeped me out. It's missing the sliding glass cupboard doors so it was difficult to recognize. I then entertained that maybe it was *I* who was hanging mine improperly (I'm going to go look right now just to be 100% sure...) Oh, Wow. I have had this piece hanging up side down in two different apartments for about 6 yrs now! The company's name is Lawson and the paper label, which is in perfect condition right on the inside and yes, up side down-said Nothing to me as I admired its preserved state while giving it a restorative clean the other day. (Now I'm Truly creeped out, And concerned-with Myself!) In my addle-brain's defense I use the 'top' shelf and above to house slips of many types of plant species that I keep in tiny little clear glass ginseng bottles filled with water that grow under a bulb that lights both them and my sink. It looks best my way but now everything has changed. I've been seeing similar cabinets in your videos that are reminiscent but never ever expected this!! Thank you for both the awesome footage of this should-be-registered historical site and the discovery of my decorating dyslexia I otherwise never would have known I have.

Neat, neat place! Man people really worked and truly BUILT things with their hands from the land back then! Imagine how many trees it took to build that house. Thanks for sharing with us! You rock.
I'm always overcome by the thought of the tremendous amount of back-breaking work it took to build these old homes and barns by hand. As always, Kappy, very fine video!!

The house was built before electricity came in. I think the log structure was lived in before the house was built. For some reason that fireplace was stoned in. Fascinating find. That barn was absolutely built right!!!!!
Happy I really enjoy your explores. That house was well built and I bet it looked really nice when they got done with it. It also looked as if that was a fireplace in that other room and they just filled it in. I also like the smaller stairs and how it curves as it rises. Thanks Kappy!
Great observations ! You are definitely right that it was a fireplace but had been all blocked up with stone! I didn’t even notice! Thanks for pointing it out! And thank you for watching!! (:
I've mentioned before that some places are so far gone that I can't visualize living there, but oddly, this one, open to the weather the way it is, still feels like a *home,* not an abandoned hulk. However, looking at the condition of the downstairs rooms, I'm pretty sure my mom would've said, "These rooms look like they've been stirred with a spoon!" There's a kitchen range in the same room as a pool table, a cot bedstead in the kitchen... Still, the modern furniture looks comfortable, and the bedroom upstairs with all the books looks like it had been a girl's room. And dare I say, with that heavy timber construction, it might've been fairly warm in winter. Welcome back, Kappy, hope you had a nice pause in exploration. Don't feel bad about taking time off, we'll always be glad to see your explorations and hear your voice. Be careful!
Thanks Kappy for sharing with me this video about 19 century Abandoned log house w/Retro furniture left in side it was really interesting Kappy to see how old this house was and it showed it's age when you went inside this house Kappy and it did not look to safe my friend I am glad you was being careful when you was exploring it and I can't wait to see your next video and God Bless you my friend and thanks again.
What an incredible, incredibly beautiful old house! So many stories are obvious from all of the clues-the log cabin, built first, then the “new” house built against it; the barn built and expanded, the old furniture, the potty chair-it all speaks of many lives. Who decided to settle there? Who built the house(s) and the barn? How many children were born there? What was the community like? Was it a thriving farm? How did the family weather the Depression and wars? Where did the members scatter to? Who was the old person left? Was that person born there or marry into the family? So many questions, on and on... A wonderful find, Kappy. Thank you for posting the video.
Really enjoy your vids, glad you're back!!! Be careful and stay safe. This was an amazing home at one time not surprised it's still standing. They don't make them like this anymore!
Glad to see you back. This stonework is amazing, if someone was building a home that stone would looking great in it. That old T.V. and appliances was right out of the 1970's. Great video looking forward to the next video. As always be careful and be safe.
Glad you are back. Absolutely loved the video! The old log cabin part was great. That place is very old. The hand hewn timbers and those with bark still on them just puts your mind to racing. I wonder about the people who once lived there as I usually do on these things. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent find Kappy! There is definitely older n newer add ons. The eyes go straight to the huge fireplace! Crazy pool table before it. In the Green room upstairs I saw an Impeach Clinton sticker on the wall! Hope you enjoyed your time away. We missed you. Stay safe n God Bless.
Was a fascinating old farm! Kappy, you need a metal detector, or better yet a buddy than can detect, while you explore!! I'm STILL waiting for you to look up inside a chimney, or check for a loose board in the stairs. Places as old as this one, hide so many treasures. They rarely put money in a bank, or valuables in a bank vault. Another very well done, 5 star video!
Ms. Pete Sidewalk - You’re right about them not putting money in a bank. When my stepdad’s dad died they found thousands of dollars rolled up in socks inside shoe boxes. Also people put money in coat pockets or sewn in the hem.
@@taralewis2606 yes or between the pages of the books in the closet and ...forget about it; in Canada our Lib.changed the laws and they said...all paper bill notes read 'Canadian Dollars after the year ....forgot the exact year are not valid...imagine that? I could not...how about in USA?so even if we found the old money our ancestors hidden ...we have nothing ....this is recent time ....ouch?
thanks for the tour of this old place....that fireplace was amazing. Back in the time it was built that was main heat source and probably used for cooking as well
great explore Kappy, that house though had a lot of renovations done to it during it's lifetime, i see those big old fireplaces and i can just imagine them going with a nice crackly fire keeping the place warm, way back when,,
Peg board walls now that is different. At 8:47 the stone wall look looks like it had a fireplace at one time and then it was stoned in. So many different types of construction from really old to earlier materials. Really interesting find Kappy
The pegboard was the newer part. A workshop/utility/laundry room. You should bring a metal detector for the stone barn. Lots of nooks and crannies to hide things. At around 2:46 you can see the horizontal wood on the wall-that's called Lath. They would pack it w a combo of mud/straw, and often horsehair. It was their form of drywall, and helped insulate. That's why you will often see layer upon layer of wallpaper in old homes. They couldn't take down the wallpaper, because that would also strip tbe lath, so they'd just keep on layering the wallpapers over each other.
I would never have guessed the treasure that was behind this facade. I don’t know how you find them but I’m glad you do. The fireplace, the beams, the stone, that perforated wall board. And pink walls. So many old houses have pink walls. Maybe 40s or 50s thing? Not so many have pool tables :). Even that red sofa. It looked mid century. So many decades of changes. Looked like the fireplace in the log house part was stoned in. Must be in an area with lots of stone. The foundations were so tall. And that barn. Wow! Your narration gets better and better. Videography terrific. Gotta show this one to my husband. He loves the structural stuff. Might can tell me about the barn. Is this PA maybe? Thanks for the incredible share. ❤️
It has been awhile for your videos. Nice looking house in its day. It looked like that fireplace was all blocked shut. The Brady Bunch cast is looking for 70's furniture. It looked like that couch and a chair would be great for them. Just something to give you a chuckle. Have a great weekend.
A simple but impressive house---or maybe I should say, "houses" as the back part seems to be the original structure on the site. Very simple, nothing fancy at all but I noticed how precisely those steps to the attic fit into place. I'm not a carpenter or builder but I could tell that someone long ago knew what they were doing. As with other houses you've explored, Kappy, I think, if we could see the people who went up and down those stairs. I'm reminded of the line from Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town": "If I could go back for just one day, for just one hour".
You can tell of course that this was a log cabin to begin with. That is so amazing! The people that lived there last probably passed away and no one wanted the house. Even in 1987 this was a very old house. Those who lived there last were probably descended from the actual builders. Thanks for a great explore.
I’m glad you got a close up of that stone fireplace wow. Those enormous collapsing beams wow. That lamp in the kitchen or workspace wow. That stone walls wow! You took those attic stairs wow. You are brave. I could watch these videos indefinitely. So captivating. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice explore! Wasn't expecting it to be as interesting as it was considering how "air conditioned" it appeared from the outside. Good to see you back.
That was a log cabin home in the original part of the structure. The stone wall was a fireplace stoned over. Just amazing early settler construction and a shame that it is just left to ruin. Thank you for filming it to share.
Love this video. Thank you for taking time to show us so many details and also for braving some very sketchy rooms! I think what you called the bathroom was the kitchen with a pantry off the side. The two large front rooms would have been parlor and dining probably, but with all that peg board, it looks like whoever lived there last used that room for a workshop of some sort, and the tax accounting book was for a business. The barn was amazing! Though that house was plain, it was spacious and well-built. I do wish you could find out something about the history of the places you explore (census or deed records for addresses?) which would add greatly.
Yay!! Kappys back with another amazing find!! I’ve been missing your videos, so nice to have them back. I always tend to see these old homes as they may have been back in the day. They’re all beautiful in my mind. Wishing you an awesome weekend!😊
I believe at one point a business was run from the downstairs. One big metal desk in the "bathroom" and the fridge room with a counter and peg board walls. Perhaps the late owner lived upstairs, and utilized the "living room" for customers as well, hence the pool table.
I would like to metal detect around that stone wall. People sitting on it could have lost stuff from their pockets. It certainly doesn’t take long for things to decay. The 1980s don’t seem like that long ago
Wow! The house is actually an addition. The real gem is the original log structure the house was added to. What’s amazing is the original cabins stairs and fireplace are still there!
The three nests on the shelf at 11:50 all belonged to a single species....Carolina Wren. The side cavity entrance gives it away as belonging to that species.
From the outside, this one looks like my great, great grandparents' house in rural northwest Florida. It was built before the "War of Northern Aggression," as they called it down there. When I was about ten, my mother forced me to go into the house through a broken window. She wanted to see if I could find an old camelback trunk that was supposed to be in an upstairs room. I climbed the back stairs on my hands and knees and found the trunk. I let my mother in through the back door and we "rescued" that trunk from salvagers. She died last year and nobody knows where that trunk is. I kind of wish we'd left it in the house where it belonged. I fell in love with old, abandoned houses that day and I still have that wonderful, awful affliction. It's so good to know that folks like you allow us to tag along as you explore these forgotten treasures. Thanks so much!
So!!! People that give a thumbs down are either ignorant of historical structures, craftsmanship and solid design "or" are your jealous competitors, maybe both. That being said, keep up the fantastic work.
Amazing ! Thanks Kappy! As an explorer, I know that you’re probably not very much into paranormal stuff, but when you freeze the image at 9:38 and you look on the lower ceiling of the beam, you will notice a face or a grayish mask appearing, over the door entrance, where the ceiling is lightly caving in. If you pause that picture frame and you enlarge the image by adding more light and resolution, it will literally jump at you.Maybe it’s only my imagination, but it sure does have that strange ressemblance, with the head of man hanging almost over the doorway, where that old television set was lying. You never know the mysterious dark history of these places. Johnny, from Montreal, Canada 🌈🌎👍😉❤️
Abandoned since the 90s at least... saw an impeach clinton sign. Probably what happened is the owner was elderly, sent to a nursing home, and the home was left to rot. Its been over 20 years since it was abandoned, hence the decay. Thanks for showing us!
A lot of work went into this place! It's a true shame that the family did not honor that hard work by keeping the place taken care of over the years. Someone sure liked pepto bismol pink though. Lol. Take Care!
IMPEACH CLINTON lol. That gives you an idea on last time someone was there too! Great find as always Kappy. That room with the red art deco couch and pool table was probably pretty swank in its heyday
I wonder when that place was first built? Pretty old I think. Historic. Thankyou for putting it on record & letting us have a look from far away. You certainly find interesting places. Stay safe.
In it's prime this place looks like it was a lovely family home. It's well built, the craftsmanship is much better than some. Some lovely furniture and features there too
Love this house & barn. Those logs r probably from 100 yr trees. Used to watch a show on tv called barnwood builders some of the old cabins they handled were 200 yrs old the logs were amazingly large. As always great job filming. Stay safe carry on
Did anyone notice the Impeach Clinton bumper sticker high on the wall in one of the rooms near the end? It was the room with all the books. And how treacherous those old stairways were!
A lot of the truly older homes were 2 rooms down and 2 up. Then more was added on as needed. The old farm house we lived in. Had the 4 room log house with additions of several more rooms. 1 room was the parents bedroom outside door ,then door into 2nd down stairs room which was the living room kitchen combined. A stair just like the one you didn't go up, wedged shape treads went to 1 bedroom up stairs . there was a 2nd door in parents room that opened to a landing that went up to 2nd bedroom upstairs. On side was the boys the one over parents was the girls. Ceiling on both sloped steeply from 6ft. On north To 2ft on south walls with low windows. Had the hand hewed logs with rock in between and 3 layers of sheet rock and many layers of wall paper. As we found out after a house fire. Logs were not even touched by the fire, cept for smoke stains.
I go through a kind of grief when I see these old, once proud places rotting back into the earth... I realize also, that all things are temporary; those made of wood even more so... All that aside, I would love to buy one and bring it back to life, but I can't handle snow all winter long lol 😁
Everytime I watch your videos, I can't help but to think what the houses looked like in it's heyday and how many families lived there. Thanks for sharing.
I agree
Some stories have happened in the house.
I’ve seen damage like this in a home when a chimney has collapsed or been removed without someone realizing they used to anchor the floors and walls to the chimney causing separation of floor and wall and eventual collapse.

Ms. Pete Sidewalk - You’re right about them not putting money in a bank. When my stepdad’s dad died they found thousands of dollars rolled up in socks inside shoe boxes. Also people put money in coat pockets or sewn in the hem.
@@taralewis2606 yes or between the pages of the books in the closet and ...forget about it; in Canada our Lib.changed the laws and they said...all paper bill notes read 'Canadian Dollars after the year ....forgot the exact year are not valid...imagine that? I could not...how about in USA?so even if we found the old money our ancestors hidden ...we have nothing ....this is recent time ....ouch?
@@LeRoi715 OUCH!! 😓
Quite the mishmosh of wiring in that house, everything from common in the wall wiring to surface mount Wiremold. Thanks for another great video Kappy.
Most excellent video Kappy! So happy to see you back.
Glad to see you back. Very interesting explore, especially that fireplace and the chimney.
thanks for the tour of this old place....that fireplace was amazing. Back in the time it was built that was main heat source and probably used for cooking as well
That's what I call having built a house from scratch! And it's still standing..Epic😲
Very true!! Would’ve been incredible too see it in it’s hey day! Thank you for watching!
You pick the best old houses keep up the great work.
great explore Kappy, that house though had a lot of renovations done to it during it's lifetime, i see those big old fireplaces and i can just imagine them going with a nice crackly fire keeping the place warm, way back when,,
Good to see you back kappy, this would be a great house to take apart and give some of it new life somewhere else!
Peg board walls now that is different. At 8:47 the stone wall look looks like it had a fireplace at one time and then it was stoned in. So many different types of construction from really old to earlier materials. Really interesting find Kappy
Yes, I don't think I've seen pegboard---and so much of it, too.
The pegboard was the newer part. A workshop/utility/laundry room. You should bring a metal detector for the stone barn. Lots of nooks and crannies to hide things. At around 2:46 you can see the horizontal wood on the wall-that's called Lath. They would pack it w a combo of mud/straw, and often horsehair. It was their form of drywall, and helped insulate. That's why you will often see layer upon layer of wallpaper in old homes. They couldn't take down the wallpaper, because that would also strip tbe lath, so they'd just keep on layering the wallpapers over each other.
I would never have guessed the treasure that was behind this facade. I don’t know how you find them but I’m glad you do. The fireplace, the beams, the stone, that perforated wall board. And pink walls. So many old houses have pink walls. Maybe 40s or 50s thing? Not so many have pool tables :). Even that red sofa. It looked mid century. So many decades of changes. Looked like the fireplace in the log house part was stoned in. Must be in an area with lots of stone. The foundations were so tall. And that barn. Wow! Your narration gets better and better. Videography terrific. Gotta show this one to my husband. He loves the structural stuff. Might can tell me about the barn. Is this PA maybe? Thanks for the incredible share. ❤️
Thank you very much for watching!! Great observations!! This one was actually in West Virginia, so not far off at all with the Pennsylvania guess!
Urban Exploring With Kappy should have thought of WV. Looks like your’e getting good views. Def deserve it. ❤️
Are you any relation to those crazy Miller's that put their hired hand in chains then hacked him to bits with an axe?
Urban Exploring With Kappy do you know this Smug Smugly? If you do I’ll answer his question.
It has been awhile for your videos. Nice looking house in its day. It looked like that fireplace was all blocked shut. The Brady Bunch cast is looking for 70's furniture. It looked like that couch and a chair would be great for them. Just something to give you a chuckle. Have a great weekend.
To think about how much work it took to build this place and then see it in decay is sad! Thank you for showing this they used the stones beautifully!
Fabulous !! Another winner ! The red couch was so cool..thanks Kap.
super wowwwwww kappys back how are ya my grateful dead bud awesome find i seriously love old stuff like this u rock i misssed ya take care and be safe
Love the decay there and the different buildinstyles great explore Kappy.
A simple but impressive house---or maybe I should say, "houses" as the back part seems to be the original structure on the site. Very simple, nothing fancy at all but I noticed how precisely those steps to the attic fit into place. I'm not a carpenter or builder but I could tell that someone long ago knew what they were doing. As with other houses you've explored, Kappy, I think, if we could see the people who went up and down those stairs. I'm reminded of the line from Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town": "If I could go back for just one day, for just one hour".
I would like to know the history of who built this house! It was nice at one time so sad that they left it. Thank you for sharing.
You can tell of course that this was a log cabin to begin with. That is so amazing! The people that lived there last probably passed away and no one wanted the house. Even in 1987 this was a very old house. Those who lived there last were probably descended from the actual builders. Thanks for a great explore.
yeh, there was an old commode upstairs so the elderly might live there until their demise....this is such a beautiful pristine area to live ,eh?
I’m glad you got a close up of that stone fireplace wow. Those enormous collapsing beams wow. That lamp in the kitchen or workspace wow. That stone walls wow! You took those attic stairs wow. You are brave. I could watch these videos indefinitely. So captivating. Thank you for sharing.
This was a awesome find. All that stone a logs were unbelievable.
Very nice explore! Wasn't expecting it to be as interesting as it was considering how "air conditioned" it appeared from the outside. Good to see you back.
Thanks for watching! Never know what you’ll find in these places!
That was a log cabin home in the original part of the structure. The stone wall was a fireplace stoned over. Just amazing early settler construction and a shame that it is just left to ruin. Thank you for filming it to share.
Those beams are with a fortune. Interesting place, Kappy
Glad to see your videos back.
Absolutely love your videos, be safe, keep up the good work and thank you so much!
Love this video. Thank you for taking time to show us so many details and also for braving some very sketchy rooms! I think what you called the bathroom was the kitchen with a pantry off the side. The two large front rooms would have been parlor and dining probably, but with all that peg board, it looks like whoever lived there last used that room for a workshop of some sort, and the tax accounting book was for a business. The barn was amazing! Though that house was plain, it was spacious and well-built. I do wish you could find out something about the history of the places you explore (census or deed records for addresses?) which would add greatly.
Thank you so much for the amazing video I do appreciate it.👍😊
I hope your brother is doing better. Thanks for sharing this great video.
what a wonderful find!! the construction of the original buildings is beautiful and still standing!!! loved it🤗💕
Thank you Kappy
Thank you for watching!! Me too! Such interesting construction methods used!
Wow! Those hand hewn logs ARE COOL! Can you imagine the blood sweat & tears put into that! The history of it all just blows my mind. Awesome tour!
Love the textures on the walls. Another great one man!
Love the outside entry stone wall and lovely steps. Great explore!
Love your videos! Hadn’t seen anything for awhile so I was glad to see a video notice!!!!!
Yay!! Kappys back with another amazing find!! I’ve been missing your videos, so nice to have them back. I always tend to see these old homes as they may have been back in the day. They’re all beautiful in my mind. Wishing you an awesome weekend!😊
Thank you very much !!! Have lots of neat videos and houses on the way! Much appreciated!! 👍👍
Are you any relation to those crazy Bogg's that put their hired hand in chains then hacked him to bits with an axe?
Smug Smugly I’m not even going to entertain such a question. 🤦♀️
@@melissaboggs5889 I thought it was quite entertaining myself....wooo hooo
I believe at one point a business was run from the downstairs. One big metal desk in the "bathroom" and the fridge room with a counter and peg board walls. Perhaps the late owner lived upstairs, and utilized the "living room" for customers as well, hence the pool table.
Four words I always look forward to hearing: "Here we are today." Thanks for another example of Mother Nature's victory over history. .
I want that red sofa and that television set. Mod! Amazing construction using the stone and timbers. Stay safe!
I would like to metal detect around that stone wall. People sitting on it could have lost stuff from their pockets. It certainly doesn’t take long for things to decay. The 1980s don’t seem like that long ago
It's not. Just 39 years ago
Wow! The house is actually an addition. The real gem is the original log structure the house was added to. What’s amazing is the original cabins stairs and fireplace are still there!
All the stone in the barn incredible 👌
Interesting place! Love youre steddie filming 📹
This was so incredible! Love this house. All the history!
These old places are the best! They were built by hand and it shows because they are still standing💕
The three nests on the shelf at 11:50 all belonged to a single species....Carolina Wren. The side cavity entrance gives it away as belonging to that species.
From the outside, this one looks like my great, great grandparents' house in rural northwest Florida. It was built before the "War of Northern Aggression," as they called it down there.
When I was about ten, my mother forced me to go into the house through a broken window. She wanted to see if I could find an old camelback trunk that was supposed to be in an upstairs room. I climbed the back stairs on my hands and knees and found the trunk. I let my mother in through the back door and we "rescued" that trunk from salvagers. She died last year and nobody knows where that trunk is. I kind of wish we'd left it in the house where it belonged.
I fell in love with old, abandoned houses that day and I still have that wonderful, awful affliction.
It's so good to know that folks like you allow us to tag along as you explore these forgotten treasures. Thanks so much!
Loved this one . Reminds me of old houses in southwestern Pennsylvania. Thanks for going up in the attic
It's an amazing find. Think of all the people and memories in that house! It was built to last.
So!!! People that give a thumbs down are either ignorant of historical structures, craftsmanship and solid design "or" are your jealous competitors, maybe both. That being said, keep up the fantastic work.
Amazing ! Thanks Kappy! As an explorer, I know that you’re probably not very much into paranormal stuff, but when you freeze the image at 9:38 and you look on the lower ceiling of the beam, you will notice a face or a grayish mask appearing, over the door entrance, where the ceiling is lightly caving in. If you pause that picture frame and you enlarge the image by adding more light and resolution, it will literally jump at you.Maybe it’s only my imagination, but it sure does have that strange ressemblance, with the head of man hanging almost over the doorway, where that old television set was lying. You never know the mysterious dark history of these places. Johnny, from Montreal, Canada 🌈🌎👍😉❤️
Johny, any chanels about Quebec' houses? Cheers from Ontario!
I am loving the red couch!!!
Abandoned since the 90s at least... saw an impeach clinton sign. Probably what happened is the owner was elderly, sent to a nursing home, and the home was left to rot. Its been over 20 years since it was abandoned, hence the decay. Thanks for showing us!
Oh wow the barn! Thanks for peaking in!!
A lot of work went into this place! It's a true shame that the family did not honor that hard work by keeping the place taken care of over the years. Someone sure liked pepto bismol pink though. Lol. Take Care!
In it's day I'm sure this house was so awesome! Such a shame! Thanks for sharing!
IMPEACH CLINTON lol. That gives you an idea on last time someone was there too! Great find as always Kappy. That room with the red art deco couch and pool table was probably pretty swank in its heyday
Really interesting! Great job, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! (:
This place is super awesome... Thanks for the great video work my friend. Please continue your quest.
Another wonderful video my friend :) Thumbs up !
I think that stone wall used to be a huge fire place that you could cook in and keep the whole cabin warm with. Loved this video!
I wonder when that place was first built? Pretty old I think. Historic. Thankyou for putting it on record & letting us have a look from far away. You certainly find interesting places. Stay safe.
Great find and of course great video
Old stone wall looks as thought it had fireplace in it at one time. Very cool.
Love the house and barn! Hewn log and the stone!
I loved the hand hewed logs and stone foundations. The random furniture and appliances may have been stored here rather than used.
In it's prime this place looks like it was a lovely family home. It's well built, the craftsmanship is much better than some. Some lovely furniture and features there too
Love your houses that you choose and great camera work
Love this house & barn. Those logs r probably from 100 yr trees. Used to watch a show on tv called barnwood builders some of the old cabins they handled were 200 yrs old the logs were amazingly large. As always great job filming. Stay safe carry on
Wow. Was at one point an 1800's style log cabin, from the looks of it.
What state was this in?
Wow, this place was like a history lesson. So cool, thanks for sharing!
Totally awesome, thank you for sharing
Did anyone notice the Impeach Clinton bumper sticker high on the wall in one of the rooms near the end? It was the room with all the books. And how treacherous those old stairways were!
A lot of the truly older homes were 2 rooms down and 2 up. Then more was added on as needed. The old farm house we lived in. Had the 4 room log house with additions of several more rooms. 1 room was the parents bedroom outside door ,then door into 2nd down stairs room which was the living room kitchen combined. A stair just like the one you didn't go up, wedged shape treads went to 1 bedroom up stairs . there was a 2nd door in parents room that opened to a landing that went up to 2nd bedroom upstairs. On side was the boys the one over parents was the girls. Ceiling on both sloped steeply from 6ft. On north To 2ft on south walls with low windows. Had the hand hewed logs with rock in between and 3 layers of sheet rock and many layers of wall paper. As we found out after a house fire. Logs were not even touched by the fire, cept for smoke stains.
That was worth the watch, thank you.
I go through a kind of grief when I see these old, once proud places rotting back into the earth... I realize also, that all things are temporary; those made of wood even more so... All that aside, I would love to buy one and bring it back to life, but I can't handle snow all winter long lol 😁
