For those viewers who cannot see the correction annotation at the 2:52 timeline, I meant to say "radiator". Because it uses hot water to heat, I accidentally called it a water heater. When walking around an abandoned house with a camera to my face looking through a tiny view finder at the same time checking my footing and safety, all the while narrating, it's easy to misspeak sometimes.
Love your videos, the old charm some of these houses have is amazing. They would come up beautifully with some love and attention to detail throughtout😍😍 Keep up the good work, love seeing these 💗
3:07. Inside the medicine cabinet, at the very bottom of the frame there is a small slit in the back of the cabinet. This is a little slot for disposing of razor blades. The blades just fell into the wall.
It would appear that the house had been added on to a few times. Looks at though the original part of the house was built in the 1800's but the newer part was the 1950's. It also looked as though the whole house was updated now and then in parts.Who ever lived here did love this house and kept it up. But I just get this sinking feeling that the last member of the family that lived there for years either died or was put in a home, and the relatives have no interest in the place.
The stair trim and the baseboards and door frames are gorgeous, there is so much of this house that could be reclaimed and re-used! Plumbing and appliances look like the 60's but the house has many features of the late 19th Century/early 20th century, i.e., the colored glass in the front entryway and the door knobs on the bedroom doors.
A little trick on determining when a house was built, Lift the lid on the toilet tank and it will have a date it was made stamped into the under side. Jim
Jamie Crosmas You are right to a point but in structural archeology, one looks for the simple things first. It takes a bit more effort but metal nails changed about every 25 years.
Jim Foreman I'm no expert but I'll bet that steel I-Bean was put in to shore the sagging original log floor beams. Those logs were prolly in the oldest part of the building. I'd say if you want to date that structure, that would be a good place to start. Looks 1800's or older to me from what I could see....
Such a shame it was demolished. Looked like a beautiful home. Someone loved it at one point, many years ago. I wonder who lived there, why it was abandoned.. and when? So many questions that will probably never be answered..
That was probably an upscale home in it's time. Guess something happened with the old folks and nobody else wanted to live there. The cost of heating something like that in these days would be uneconomical. Judging by the old furniture and stove, this house has been vacant for many years. It IS odd that it hasn't been vandalized. Any history on the house and property? Thanks Pam, this one was a real treasure.
Ok I can help you clarify some things. First the wood stove in the kitchen. Fire compartment is that square door right under the stove top. The compartments right below it would be where they had fires as well for the oven the lower pan was for ashes which you would clean out as they built up. You got the radiant hot water heat right and it was a water heater in the back basement room. The cement thing is a cistern which they no longer had in use. The stuff coming off the ceilings is actually horse hair plaster the sheet rock you referred too came later. It was mixed up and smoothed onto the lathwork you saw upstairs. You first big room was the living room..second smaller room was the formal parlor....smallest room downstairs was the formal dining room. The upstairs room you referred to as a attic was the servants quarters that's why there were stairs into the kitchen from there. The other door to upper hall would seldom been opened unless family wanted them at night. The pipe you saw in that room actually was the kitchen stove pipe which was what heated the servants quarters. The house from what I seen of the structure was build in the late 1800's I would say between 1885-1895. So the steel beams are a much later addition due to moving or repairing of foundation. The horsehair plaster...lath....and floor beams you see in the basement would all indicate that. The rooms at the back were a much later addition the pipe you saw went to a stove that would have only heated that addition. Yes the shed area would have been for the wood. The mold you see upstairs is from leakage in the roof and why the horsehair plaster was coming down. The open pipes you would see in each room upstairs was to let heat from the downstairs area to the upstairs. My old farm house had ornate grills. My theory why its abandoned would be last owner had no next of kin or they did but it became too costly to maintain and rent out. Structural wise it still looks good and could be salvaged and restored if the roof is repaired soon.

Very nice find, love the great condition this place is in! I loved the retro feel of the place with the old furniture, the wallpaper, and the appliances. The stained glass was one of my favorite features in this home, thanks for sharing!
Yeah I think most of us were. I like her though. I think we would get along if we knew each other... I hunt for artifacts, but if I went with her on one of her tours of an abandoned house, I'd be wearing a helmet , goggles and be armed with pepper spay. That made me scared ;)
Reminds me of the farm house in "Pet Cemetery." The highway was once a lazy country road: the traffic became unbearable. The trucks whizzing" bye" with disregard.... GAGE!!!
The place seems in really good shape. No graffiti or vandalism. It doesn't even look like it has been entered at all after abandoned. I hate to see how trashed these places get in so little time. Thanks for posting!
I'm so sorry to hear this home has been demolished. Love the woodwork and stained glass - what a waste! You've done such a beautiful job of filming and narrating this. Thank you.
i love that glass around the front door. that needs to be saved....when i saw that iron stove in the kitchen, it brought back memories. my grandparents had a similar stove when i was little.
Thank you for posting! This reminds me of a house I lived in in Riverton iowa before it was made into a one story house similar floor plan an identical woodwork. The key factor to the absence of vandalism is that this house is in Canada in the us it would have been smashed spray painted and used to make meth long ago
I know it has been awhile since you did exploring but I miss you. Wish you would explore again. You were so good at it. Just letting you know you are missed and appreciated.
This is about the 4th video of yours I've watched. I've enjoyed them immensely. You have a great speaking voice and you describe things well without over doing it. This was a great find. Makes you wonder why it was left abandoned. It looks well taken care of and looks like the owners were clean. Just awesome
That place was awesome! It didn't look like it would take to much to fix it up. A new roof, upper deck and replacing the drywall . The room with the gold wall paper was a dining room that's why it had a dimmer switch. I wonder if those radiators still work. Ok, I'd have to do the bathrooms too, but I would probably keep the pearly tiles, even though I do like pink and turquoise together....at least the upstairs bathroom. All the woodwork looked like it was in good shape.
Thanks, Steve. I agree. It truly is refreshing not having to work your way around obstacles due to vandals, etc., and be able to see the house as it truly was left.
That place had to have been beautiful in it's prime. Loved the stained glass. It looked like there might have been some housing across the road, so that might help deter vandals. The TV looks like late a late 80's to mid 90's model. My best guess would be it was taken for tax purposes. If the foundation is good that would be the kind of place worth fixing up.
Excellent! The house looks like it dates from the 1850's to the 1870's when it was built. I can tell by the way it is built with the steep pitched roof, the brick work, the woodwork, the stained glass, the very thick walls and the old rubble rock or field stone foundation in the basement/cellar. I can't believe how pristine the woodwork is inside! Never been painted, which many did in the 1940's and 50's ruining the beautiful woodwork. Nice to see the people who lived there never painted the beautiful woodwork on the steps, bannister, spindles and around the front door. You can tell the house was added on to at some point but originally would have just been the brick part of the house. That old stove in the kitchen is very kool! You should go back and snatch it up before the house does get vandalized. I seriously hope it does not, though. It's such an historic and beautiful old home. They sure don't make them like that anymore, which is why I always have preferred to live in Victorian era homes and farmhouses like I do now. I just love that woodwork and the stained glass at the front door entrance and upstairs where the old veranda / widows walk is. That house could really be fixed up beautifully and what a showplace it would be, eh? Just imagine it all restored to it's original state with gorgeous gardens out front and all around. You should maybe try to do some research on the house and see when it was built ( I still say 1850's to 1870's at the latest ) and who built it and owned it over the years. There might be a very interesting history behind that place. I'm betting there is, too. I would love to walk around the outside with my metal detector and see what we might find too. It does look as if someone has been there though trying to maybe fix it up a bit or something what with the new fuses in their boxes and the tools and light bulbs and the various power tools needed to sand stuff down, etc. Funny to see all that really 1950's, 60's and 70's furniture all around the house too. I'm sure someone likely took all the original Victorian furniture that the house would have had originally. Anyhow, I'll stop droning on and on. Thank you for sharing this with us all!!! I absolutely LOVE exploring old deserted homes and farm houses, etc. and we have a lot of them here in Montana. Wish I could join you on your excursions! Take care and thanks again.
I think it is sad to see old houses. Just think of the families who lived there. I hate to think that one day someone would enter my abandoned home someday.
must be nice for you to explore a house that's not vandalized. really, really nice house. it was nice to see the woodwork was painted. this house had a unique layout to it. thank you for sharing.
That big concrete block with the pipe sticking out is a cistern. It collects rain water you can use to wash clothes. My friend has one in her basement and uses it bc village water is well water and 'rusts' clothes. I think what you thought was a water heater is a water softner. Very cool tour, thanks. I love the old doors and locks but wow, the traffic noise!
+Bets Hofsommer I also wanted to add for the younguns that the space with the weeds growing in it was probably what is called a root cellar Before refrigeration, food was "canned" (actually put in glass jars) and put in root cellars, along with the root vegetables (onions, carrots, turnips, etc.) that could hold up through the winter in a cold dampish place like this..
this is such a lovely peaceful house, this is like a walk in summer, during the winter sitting and watching the houses listening to the crickets,and birds and just not seeing snow is very nice, indeed! the furniture couch and chair looks like 40's or 50's and the bathroom tile is 50,s the beautidul wood doors have faux painting popular during the early 1900's to make the wood look like oak, the shot of the curtain in the window could be a work of art, this is really a good house, I am sure a lovely older couple lived there, good times there and good food from that kitchen stove, thanks for the trips through these houses!
Wow, I just sold an old wood stove that was about the same thing as the one you found there. That one is in a lot better shape than the one that sat in my garage for 30 years.
Such a shame that the beauty of this house is just getting ruined by mother nature! That wood is gorgeous, and so is that doorway! If those walls could talk! The door knobs are even sought after! Love this house, and that Stove, wow!!!! So sad!!!
an old farm house frozen in time. there is a farm house that is abandoned in Ohio....it looks like they just left one day and never came back. the table is still set for a meal, towels hung in the bathroom waiting for someone to shower, boots still sit in the mud room and all the furniture was left behind, beds made waiting for someone to climb into for a good nights rest. it's truly amazing.
That's a very well-made and expensive (for the time period) looking house; it has many bedrooms and more than one bathroom! For the time in which it looks like it was last inhabited/remodeled (1950s-60s) it looks pretty ritzy!
I once was checking out an apparantly abandoned bus in a yard along Euclid Ave. in Cleveland then SURPRISE! I was occupied by a Wineo!. He said "Get the Hell out of Here!! and we did!! 1988.
What a lovely place. Amazing that it wasn't all vandalized with stupid tagging and stuff broken. Looked like it was just frozen in time. Too bad the roof seems to be leaking badly causing all that damage upstairs. When the roof fails, the rest of the building usually follows :(
To bad is been demolished, its a really nice house and in good shape. The brick exterior was in great shape to. The baseboard in the living room was really pretty. Just a little fixer upper.
This is similar to the old Baer Lustgarten place in Middle Island that was recently demolished. The big windows, big rooms with high overhead, and all of the side rooms with closets everywhere. It's a time gone by, never to return. Haunting and beautiful!
I just can't understand why people would leave (almost like they were being chased out). There are so many homeless families today... why hasn't anyone moved into it? The only explanation I can think of is that it could be haunted, or perhaps something terrible happened there!
tycobb83 Could be, I've seen that a lot of times and usually the new "owner" destroys the farmstead to lower the property taxes. I've seen other cases where the home belongs to an elderly couple and when they passed their heirs don't live in the house and they won't sell it. Then unfortunately the homes decay until they're worthless and then destroyed. This is a beautiful old home and it's a shame it wasn't rehabbed and used.
Yes,Robert,you can also tell by the house design etc that is up North.:)I love the color of the bathroom tile.The sink can be re-painted or sprayed by a professional.
What a beautiful old house...no sign of kids but there must have been a woman living there at sometime with all the frilly curtains maybe and elderly couple that both are gone now...I don't understand why people just let places like this go to hell it would not take a lot to fix this beautiful old place up maybe it's in probate hung up in the legal system with relatives fighting over the estate. When I was a kid we moved to and old farm house that had a wood burning stove I remember helping cut wood for it...
Thank you for sharing your exploration of this abandoned house. I appreciated your comments as you viewed each room and noticed the building infrastructure, furniture, appliances, and other things. The colored glass for the front door is beautiful. It is sad that so many personal items were left behind and this house sits abandoned. It is hard to understand why our society does not find a way to reclaim these abandoned houses, when there are hundreds of thousand of people who have no homes.
What a gorgeous house,,,I loved it.. I wanted to ask if you had anyone with you when you go into these homes,,,aren't you scared of who or what you may find,,,stay safe ,,love you videos
That bathroom tile is amazing. Blue then green with white catching highlights in the glaze. The masonary was exquisite on this house. Canada stone and brick masonary homes are beautiful.
very nice house pam, it deffenitly would'ent take much to bring it back, and the fire box in the stove is at the top the bottom is where you clean out the ashes. there seems to be more than one stove in this old house at 11:26 looks like the hole in the floor is for a pipe for another stove, or is the the living room over the kitchen
That IS correct about the stove. I grew up in an old farm house where we had a stove similar to this. I used to have to haul out that ash box, and dump the ashes into a metal can that we had. On the middle of the door is the heat thermometer indicator.
Pity we can't always get any idea of the 'story' behind the abandoned properties. Unfortunately not even a calendar left behind in that one to give away when it was probably abandoned.
I enjoy ur videos so much. I have always had reoccuring dreams of walking thru houses, looking for something. Since i discovered these videos i can dream awake! Ur voice is very soothing & i like the way u relly look @ most everything, not in a hurry. U r actually interested in the history & people of the house. U r also pretty brave in my book going in the basements, i wish u had a better lite. TY for taking me exploring! Stay safe.
being so abandoned i cant believe no one had looted the place. some of those old appliances could be very valuable. ive watched a bunch of your videos and you do an awesome job . very interesting stuff . very relevant and interesting topics
What a fantastic house. I love that it wasn't destroyed or spray painted. Those doors are absolutely beautiful, you don't see that at all anymore. One thing I saw that I have never seen, was they wallpapered in the closets. Loved this video.
You sure are brave opening cabinets in an abandoned old house. I would be afraid at what critter might pop out at me! Places like this become cozy spots for all sorts of "wildlife". BRAVE GIRL!
Eddie Bond. It was by a road with lots of traffic in daylight. Why would someone be scared with that. I wouldnt, and i have a feeling this isnt the states. She does alot of recordings in Ontario :)
What a beautiful home! The colored windows around the front door was outstanding! It was wonderful that it wasn't vandalized. It would be great if someone were to restore it. Is it still there? You hit explore gold with this find! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
I've been told the stairs in the kitchen that lead to weird rooms were for slaves and or maids to use so that they could get around without being seen by the family as much. I don't know how true that is. Further, usually old houses with really thick walls sometimes are actually log houses. Sometimes in houses that have been vandalized you can look into the walls and see the logs such as the ones you saw in the basement. The next house you find like that you might want to check for that. What's nice is that sometimes houses like this that are log homes can be bought for a few hundred dollars, land not included, and then disassembled log by log marked and then rebuilt elsewhere. The siding, plaster, lathe, and other stuff thats been torn off the walls is left behind and burned on site. There are a few people on youtube who buy these old log homes, tear them apart, and rebuild them elsewhere with new siding. They do some amazing work. Often they leave the logs exposed on the interior of the home with new white chinking for a more traditional rustic appeal. I'm considering doing this myself with a smaller log home, I'm single and don't require such a larger home.
Great videos by the way. Its rare to see a woman who shares my same interest. I subscribed and am looking forward to vieweing all of your video catalog.
You are correct. I think there is a company in Kansas that sells completely disassembled stone homes ready for pick-up. Off topic a little, stone homes usuallly are haunted. I know that sounds weird but its true. If you watch television shows and read stories about ghosts there is usually a lot of stone in the building. My guess is that stone somehow records past activity and certain conditions allow it to be veiwed or people with extra perception can see it. My house has a lot of stone in it, built 1900's and I pick up on weirdness that happens in it, footsteps, strange sounds, etc.
it's not so they did not have to see them but so they did not have to interact with them!!! servants are to serve a person not to be friends with or make like family or anything.
What motivated you to explore abandoned houses? Abandoned houses always sparked my curiosity and I love your channel because it's neat how you show the inside and the stuff inside those houses are just interesting.
Pam, I think this is the first video of a house I've watched, (at least remember), where it hadn't been messed with!! It didn't seem like it was in too bad of condition. The stained glass in the front door was beautiful as well as the stair case! And that old stove was awesome!! I really enjoyed your video of this one, it was such a pleasure!! As usual you did an excellent job!! Thanks for sharing & always Be Safe!!:)
Nice work, and thank you for the respect you show the places you explore. "Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, break nothing but silence." Most of the abandonments I've found have already been trashed by thieves & vandals, but a few were pristine. Those are the most special, I think. *Like*
Every detail in that beautiful home was chosen carefully and with love. I would love to know the back story on this house. I will not dare ask for the address from you, however you obviously know it so I am sure with little effort you could research the previous owner and what is going to built there. You found us an absolutely timeless gem! Thanks so much!
What a beautiful old home. The blue tile in the one bathroom is gorgeous as is the coloured glass around the door. I can envision my cats having a snooze on those great deep window ledges.
You always (from what I have seen) treat your visits as something special. You respect the homes, and are very gentle with them. I also feel the same way about other peoples' things. This subject is indeed a beautiful building, and it would be such a shame for it to be lost. Do you think it might ever be sold and restored?
I always get so scared when she goes into the basements! I've never been in one because we don't have them in FL, and seeing them portrayed by horror movies as scary dark places has seemed to stick with me! Beautiful house though, it's a shame they demolished it.

You don't need to explain yourself! 😊 You do a really terrific job. Your videos are very interesting! I just subbed. Thank you!
Thanks for your posts. Enjoy very much. PLEASE salvage that stuff!
I love the Front Door Stained Glass, and the Stairway.
3:07. Inside the medicine cabinet, at the very bottom of the frame there is a small slit in the back of the cabinet. This is a little slot for disposing of razor blades. The blades just fell into the wall.
All I can say is you are one brave girl to go into that house alone, let alone into the basement. . .not me kiddo, not me. . .
indycurt1 Me either! I’d be more worried about a killer than a ghost lol
I kept expecting to find someone in there. She moved through the house faster than i could imagine...sounds like she was solo
More like foolish and not brave at all. I’ve walked through old houses and wouldn’t go into a cellar unless someone is with me.
she has many viewers, to call it alone ...
what a beautiful house...it would be lovely to hear that it has been fixed up and once again housed a family....I would love a house like that.
Beautiful home. The quality of the woodwork alone makes this farm house a keeper.
I like how appreciative and respectful you are
Anyone else in an "abandoned videos' spree?
Sycamore Boy Watched maybe 20 today... You?
Sure am! I find myself driving by seemingly abandoned houses wanting to take a closer look with my gopro, but would never have the guts! Lol
Anyone else feel like an Abandoned House?
It would appear that the house had been added on to a few times. Looks at though the original part of the house was built in the 1800's but the newer part was the 1950's. It also looked as though the whole house was updated now and then in parts.Who ever lived here did love this house and kept it up. But I just get this sinking feeling that the last member of the family that lived there for years either died or was put in a home, and the relatives have no interest in the place.
The stair trim and the baseboards and door frames are gorgeous, there is so much of this house that could be reclaimed and re-used!
Plumbing and appliances look like the 60's but the house has many features of the late 19th Century/early 20th century, i.e., the colored glass in the front entryway and the door knobs on the bedroom doors.
A little trick on determining when a house was built, Lift the lid on the toilet tank and it will have a date it was made stamped into the under side.
Jim
That works if the house wasn't built in 1850 and the toilet put in in 1920, lol.
Jamie Crosmas You are right to a point but in structural archeology, one looks for the simple things first. It takes a bit more effort but metal nails changed about every 25 years.
Yeah that's what I was saying, a toilet lid isn't going to date any house older than about the '20's to the '60's in some cases.
***** True, but the toilet is about the last thing that people replace. But it is a good indication for any house built in the past 50-60 years.
Jim Foreman I'm no expert but I'll bet that steel I-Bean was put in to shore the sagging original log floor beams.
Those logs were prolly in the oldest part of the building. I'd say if you want to date that structure, that would be a good place to start. Looks 1800's or older to me from what I could see....
We had one of those stoves in our kitchen when I was kid. My best memory of that stove was the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. :)
Those interior doors were beautiful! I love the ceramic door knobs.
Such a shame it was demolished. Looked like a beautiful home. Someone loved it at one point, many years ago. I wonder who lived there, why it was abandoned.. and when? So many questions that will probably never be answered..
Ikr? It's so frustrating i need to know 😓
J
I'll answer it for you....Freeway.
It was me I moved to England !
The 400 built at your front door had everything to do with it!
This house has so much potential! It's beautiful. But it's sad that it's abandoned though.
The owner must have died, from the looks of it..
That was probably an upscale home in it's time. Guess something happened with the old folks and nobody else wanted to live there. The cost of heating something like that in these days would be uneconomical. Judging by the old furniture and stove, this house has been vacant for many years. It IS odd that it hasn't been vandalized. Any history on the house and property?
Thanks Pam, this one was a real treasure.
*door mysteriously shuts behind her*
"oh well, i guess it just does that."
Lol
Trickaxe. Lots of older houses were slanted..
right
Abandoned but Not uninhabited!
Ok I can help you clarify some things. First the wood stove in the kitchen. Fire compartment is that square door right under the stove top. The compartments right below it would be where they had fires as well for the oven the lower pan was for ashes which you would clean out as they built up. You got the radiant hot water heat right and it was a water heater in the back basement room. The cement thing is a cistern which they no longer had in use. The stuff coming off the ceilings is actually horse hair plaster the sheet rock you referred too came later. It was mixed up and smoothed onto the lathwork you saw upstairs. You first big room was the living room..second smaller room was the formal parlor....smallest room downstairs was the formal dining room. The upstairs room you referred to as a attic was the servants quarters that's why there were stairs into the kitchen from there. The other door to upper hall would seldom been opened unless family wanted them at night. The pipe you saw in that room actually was the kitchen stove pipe which was what heated the servants quarters.

The mold you see upstairs is from leakage in the roof and why the horsehair plaster was coming down. The open pipes you would see in each room upstairs was to let heat from the downstairs area to the upstairs. My old farm house had ornate grills. My theory why its abandoned would be last owner had no next of kin or they did but it became too costly to maintain and rent out. Structural wise it still looks good and could be salvaged and restored if the roof is repaired soon.
no
Well in this crazy world it was more important for you to be right about the knowledge instead of kind. If you want to impart your knowledge on someone else’s channel, start your own. You may have known this information but they are taking the risk and no one asked you that I see.
Damn... don't be shy now, u got something to say just come right out & say it lol.
I found ur comment very informative & interesting actually. I think may b it would be less off putting if u started ur comment with something way different than the word's ... let me CORRECT U, cuz there was a half a dozen times u didn't know wat u were talking about.... lol. The way one word's thing's can make a huge difference.
U are knowledgeable tho & wat u said is correct. 😁👍
When she opened that door at 11:00 I thought we were going to see an old lady rocking in her rocking chair, lol
🤣
Definitely a nice period home.
Shouldn't take much at all to fix it up and be livable within a short period of time and a little bit of work.
Wall paper> Gone most definitely with a new coat of paint.
Furniture> Restored.
Pool Table> Upstairs, out of basement into Family Room.
Roof> Completely redone.
Ceiling> Completely redone in sheetrock.
Plumbing> A little bit here and there.
Electrical> Brought up to code..
It's just good to see no real vandalism has taken place.
Excellent job Tiki.. Have a great day.
I was thinking the same thing. I would totally refurbish this house!
I
I'm with you I would take out the diffrent colored window panes from the front door myself.
Catherine Trammell LOL...thats the very first thing I noticed. The colored glass panes
Demolished.
When abandoned houses are much nicer than yours.
Really wish I went to/had the balls to enter more creepy houses like this. The atmosphere is so depressing but beautiful.
It's heartbreaking that this has been demolished. It was a gorgeous old house that could've been fixed up. Thank you for the tour!
Very nice find, love the great condition this place is in! I loved the retro feel of the place with the old furniture, the wallpaper, and the appliances. The stained glass was one of my favorite features in this home, thanks for sharing!
Was anybody else waiting for the crazy person to jump out from behind a door? I cringed when she said let's go in basement. I shit my pants actually .
lol when the bedroom door shut I had a feeling there might be resistence opening it or someone behind it!
OMG never laughed so hard after reading your post, I was thinking the same thing lmao
Yeah I think most of us were. I like her though. I think we would get along if we knew each other... I hunt for artifacts, but if I went with her on one of her tours of an abandoned house, I'd be wearing a helmet , goggles and be armed with pepper spay. That made me scared ;)
Alan P lolol i think you watch to much tv! .....she had more nerve than i, i would send someone ahead of me then i MIGHT go down there. lol
then why'd ya watch the video or comment? geesh
Reminds me of the farm house in "Pet Cemetery."
The highway was once a lazy country road: the traffic became unbearable.
The trucks whizzing" bye" with disregard....
GAGE!!!
The place seems in really good shape. No graffiti or vandalism. It doesn't even look like it has been entered at all after abandoned. I hate to see how trashed these places get in so little time. Thanks for posting!

P.S. i love the mid-century furniture, wood baseboards and the pearly tile.
You must have guts to investigate alone in that basement!... Shivers*
I'm so sorry to hear this home has been demolished. Love the woodwork and stained glass - what a waste! You've done such a beautiful job of filming and narrating this. Thank you.
I like to imagine what the family had there before the abandonment. the holidays and the celebrations that was one time there.
i love that glass around the front door. that needs to be saved....when i saw that iron stove in the kitchen, it brought back memories. my grandparents had a similar stove when i was little.
what an amazing place, im sure it was even more beautiful in its day, thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you for posting! This reminds me of a house I lived in in Riverton iowa before it was made into a one story house similar floor plan an identical woodwork. The key factor to the absence of vandalism is that this house is in Canada in the us it would have been smashed spray painted and used to make meth long ago
I know it has been awhile since you did exploring but I miss you. Wish you would explore again. You were so good at it. Just letting you know you are missed and appreciated.
If I ever find a house like this in Central Florida, I'm taking it.
This is about the 4th video of yours I've watched. I've enjoyed them immensely. You have a great speaking voice and you describe things well without over doing it. This was a great find. Makes you wonder why it was left abandoned. It looks well taken care of and looks like the owners were clean. Just awesome
Can you imagine spending the night there alone, not me! Beautiful old home just the same though.
That place was awesome! It didn't look like it would take to much to fix it up. A new roof, upper deck and replacing the drywall . The room with the gold wall paper was a dining room that's why it had a dimmer switch. I wonder if those radiators still work. Ok, I'd have to do the bathrooms too, but I would probably keep the pearly tiles, even though I do like pink and turquoise together....at least the upstairs bathroom. All the woodwork looked like it was in good shape.
Great Tour Tiki. Great to see a house that no one has destroyed. Makes the explore much better and more interesting in my opinion
Thanks, Steve. I agree. It truly is refreshing not having to work your way around obstacles due to vandals, etc., and be able to see the house as it truly was left.
I hope everything is ok. I really miss your uploads and taking a tour with you. We all miss you
That place had to have been beautiful in it's prime. Loved the stained glass. It looked like there might have been some housing across the road, so that might help deter vandals. The TV looks like late a late 80's to mid 90's model. My best guess would be it was taken for tax purposes. If the foundation is good that would be the kind of place worth fixing up.
I think so too. But i think the tax is higher than amount to be used in
Fixing the house. Probably the main reason why it was left behind.
I really hope the woodwork and stained glass were at least salvaged from this gorgeous place before it was torn down. :(
This is such a lovely home and it looks as though it was loved and well taken care of. It's heartbreaking to see it just abandoned to rot down. 🥺
All that noise from the road, probably drove 'em crazy and they bolted. What a great house though!
That tile is just Beautiful! You can tell the whole house was made with skill and love for someone.
Excellent! The house looks like it dates from the 1850's to the 1870's when it was built. I can tell by the way it is built with the steep pitched roof, the brick work, the woodwork, the stained glass, the very thick walls and the old rubble rock or field stone foundation in the basement/cellar. I can't believe how pristine the woodwork is inside! Never been painted, which many did in the 1940's and 50's ruining the beautiful woodwork. Nice to see the people who lived there never painted the beautiful woodwork on the steps, bannister, spindles and around the front door. You can tell the house was added on to at some point but originally would have just been the brick part of the house. That old stove in the kitchen is very kool! You should go back and snatch it up before the house does get vandalized. I seriously hope it does not, though. It's such an historic and beautiful old home. They sure don't make them like that anymore, which is why I always have preferred to live in Victorian era homes and farmhouses like I do now. I just love that woodwork and the stained glass at the front door entrance and upstairs where the old veranda / widows walk is. That house could really be fixed up beautifully and what a showplace it would be, eh? Just imagine it all restored to it's original state with gorgeous gardens out front and all around. You should maybe try to do some research on the house and see when it was built ( I still say 1850's to 1870's at the latest ) and who built it and owned it over the years. There might be a very interesting history behind that place. I'm betting there is, too. I would love to walk around the outside with my metal detector and see what we might find too. It does look as if someone has been there though trying to maybe fix it up a bit or something what with the new fuses in their boxes and the tools and light bulbs and the various power tools needed to sand stuff down, etc. Funny to see all that really 1950's, 60's and 70's furniture all around the house too. I'm sure someone likely took all the original Victorian furniture that the house would have had originally. Anyhow, I'll stop droning on and on. Thank you for sharing this with us all!!! I absolutely LOVE exploring old deserted homes and farm houses, etc. and we have a lot of them here in Montana. Wish I could join you on your excursions! Take care and thanks again.
This house deserves to get a new life, I hope someone rescues it.
I think it is sad to see old houses. Just think of the families who lived there. I hate to think that one day someone would enter my abandoned home someday.
Great to find a mostly unmolested house. Too bad most now days are vandalized and/or stripped. Awesome video!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, I used to love exploring old abandoned places back in the day, now that I have a family there's not much time to do it. :(
must be nice for you to explore a house that's not vandalized. really, really nice house. it was nice to see the woodwork was painted. this house had a unique layout to it. thank you for sharing.
It truly is a nice change! Thanks for watching!
sorry, I meant woodwork that wasn't painted lol.
Probably abandoned because off all the loud freeway noise.
I was thinking the same! It's ghastly!
It was quiet at one time of course. But yeah, the freeway noise is obnoxious.
Why does this all fascinate me so much?
Hamish Thecat Nope. Not my idea of fun. I have a camera. No car though.
That big concrete block with the pipe sticking out is a cistern. It collects rain water you can use to wash clothes. My friend has one in her basement and uses it bc village water is well water and 'rusts' clothes. I think what you thought was a water heater is a water softner. Very cool tour, thanks. I love the old doors and locks but wow, the traffic noise!
+Bets Hofsommer I also wanted to add for the younguns that the space with the weeds growing in it was probably what is called a root cellar Before refrigeration, food was "canned" (actually put in glass jars) and put in root cellars, along with the root vegetables (onions, carrots, turnips, etc.) that could hold up through the winter in a cold dampish place like this..
this is such a lovely peaceful house, this is like a walk in summer, during the winter sitting and watching the houses listening to the crickets,and birds and just not seeing snow is very nice, indeed! the furniture couch and chair looks like 40's or 50's and the bathroom tile is 50,s the beautidul wood doors have faux painting popular during the early 1900's to make the wood look like oak, the shot of the curtain in the window could be a work of art, this is really a good house, I am sure a lovely older couple lived there, good times there and good food from that kitchen stove, thanks for the trips through these houses!
Wow, I just sold an old wood stove that was about the same thing as the one you found there. That one is in a lot better shape than the one that sat in my garage for 30 years.
Such a shame that the beauty of this house is just getting ruined by mother nature! That wood is gorgeous, and so is that doorway! If those walls could talk! The door knobs are even sought after! Love this house, and that Stove, wow!!!! So sad!!!
I would imagine much of the woodwork would be worth salvaging if the house was in the right location.
Well we ruin Mother Nature with our houses so I guess it's her karma lol
I really love the way you show us the detail that's around the house, architraves, woodwork on stairs etc.
The steel beams were probably used to raise the house, and level it on new/repaired foundation.
an old farm house frozen in time. there is a farm house that is abandoned in Ohio....it looks like they just left one day and never came back. the table is still set for a meal, towels hung in the bathroom waiting for someone to shower, boots still sit in the mud room and all the furniture was left behind, beds made waiting for someone to climb into for a good nights rest. it's truly amazing.
That does sound amazing.
Hmmm...I used to do a bit of this type of thing when I was younger...might get back into it again, got a few places I'd like to "sneak" a peak at lol
That's a very well-made and expensive (for the time period) looking house; it has many bedrooms and more than one bathroom! For the time in which it looks like it was last inhabited/remodeled (1950s-60s) it looks pretty ritzy!
Even though the appliances date to the early 1960's, the house looks as if it's been abandoned for about 10 to 15 years.
that house looks like it could be sold with a good cleaninng
Tony Thatcher I was thinking whoever lives there is pretty neat.
Yup
Lovely house - for something that existed more than 30 years ago!
I once was checking out an apparantly abandoned bus in a yard along Euclid Ave. in Cleveland then SURPRISE! I was occupied by a Wineo!. He said "Get the Hell out of Here!! and we did!! 1988.
What a lovely place. Amazing that it wasn't all vandalized with stupid tagging and stuff broken. Looked like it was just frozen in time. Too bad the roof seems to be leaking badly causing all that damage upstairs. When the roof fails, the rest of the building usually follows :(
To bad is been demolished, its a really nice house and in good shape. The brick exterior was in great shape to. The baseboard in the living room was really pretty. Just a little fixer upper.
This is similar to the old Baer Lustgarten place in Middle Island that was recently demolished. The big windows, big rooms with high overhead, and all of the side rooms with closets everywhere. It's a time gone by, never to return. Haunting and beautiful!
I just can't understand why people would leave (almost like they were being chased out). There are so many homeless families today... why hasn't anyone moved into it? The only explanation I can think of is that it could be haunted, or perhaps something terrible happened there!
It was haunted by Demons and they left over night.
LOL
I agree with tycobb83 old farm either went to bank or someone purchased the land.
tycobb83
Could be, I've seen that a lot of times and usually the new "owner" destroys the farmstead to lower the property taxes. I've seen other cases where the home belongs to an elderly couple and when they passed their heirs don't live in the house and they won't sell it. Then unfortunately the homes decay until they're worthless and then destroyed. This is a beautiful old home and it's a shame it wasn't rehabbed and used.
Dealit707 Uh, no.
in most cases homes are deserted because of failing local busenesses. People leave to get a new job elsewhere.
Queen Cleo, is that really the only explanation you can think of?
Yes,Robert,you can also tell by the house design etc that is up North.:)I love the color of the bathroom tile.The sink can be re-painted or sprayed by a professional.
Its so creepy when you go around the closed doors lol
The bathroom tiling is gorgeous! The artistry on that staircase! This place has so many wonderful elements.
What a beautiful old house...no sign of kids but there must have been a woman living there at sometime with all the frilly curtains maybe and elderly couple that both are gone now...I don't understand why people just let places like this go to hell it would not take a lot to fix this beautiful old place up maybe it's in probate hung up in the legal system with relatives fighting over the estate. When I was a kid we moved to and old farm house that had a wood burning stove I remember helping cut wood for it...
Thank you for sharing your exploration of this abandoned house. I appreciated your comments as you viewed each room and noticed the building infrastructure, furniture, appliances, and other things. The colored glass for the front door is beautiful. It is sad that so many personal items were left behind and this house sits abandoned. It is hard to understand why our society does not find a way to reclaim these abandoned houses, when there are hundreds of thousand of people who have no homes.
What a gorgeous house,,,I loved it.. I wanted to ask if you had anyone with you when you go into these homes,,,aren't you scared of who or what you may find,,,stay safe ,,love you videos
It seems a house needs a family as much as a family needs a home. That house has a lot of soul. I love old houses!
I wish I had the money and time to buy all these abandoned old homes like this so I could either restore them or salvage stuff out of them.
That bathroom tile is amazing. Blue then green with white catching highlights in the glaze. The masonary was exquisite on this house. Canada stone and brick masonary homes are beautiful.
very nice house pam, it deffenitly would'ent take much to bring it back, and the fire box in the stove is at the top the bottom is where you clean out the ashes.
there seems to be more than one stove in this old house at 11:26 looks like the hole in the floor is for a pipe for another stove, or is the the living room over the kitchen
That IS correct about the stove. I grew up in an old farm house where we had a stove similar to this. I used to have to haul out that ash box, and dump the ashes into a metal can that we had. On the middle of the door is the heat thermometer indicator.
Breaks my heart to see beautiful old houses just waiting for the bulldozer while Mcmansions pop up like vinyl sided mushrooms
Pity we can't always get any idea of the 'story' behind the abandoned properties. Unfortunately not even a calendar left behind in that one to give away when it was probably abandoned.
I enjoy ur videos so much. I have always had reoccuring dreams of walking thru houses, looking for something. Since i discovered these videos i can dream awake! Ur voice is very soothing & i like the way u relly look @ most everything, not in a hurry. U r actually interested in the history & people of the house. U r also pretty brave in my book going in the basements, i wish u had a better lite. TY for taking me exploring! Stay safe.
being so abandoned i cant believe no one had looted the place. some of those old appliances could be very valuable. ive watched a bunch of your videos and you do an awesome job . very interesting stuff . very relevant and interesting topics
What a fantastic house. I love that it wasn't destroyed or spray painted. Those doors are absolutely beautiful, you don't see that at all anymore. One thing I saw that I have never seen, was they wallpapered in the closets. Loved this video.
You are one bold chica. That house is beautiful andI love old stoves also. Great video.
You sure are brave opening cabinets in an abandoned old house. I would be afraid at what critter might pop out at me! Places like this become cozy spots for all sorts of "wildlife". BRAVE GIRL!
cool find and your one brave lady.
My grandparents had an old couch exactly like that one. They kept it in the finished basement up until grandpa died in 2001. Nice memory.
How are you not scared? I was scared just watching it. Very interesting video!
+Jasmine Latendresse
Fraidy cat
You took the words out my mouth
+Jasmine Latendresse What is there to be scared of?
+FXRPIONEER Bad People there are many of this type of person !!!
Eddie Bond. It was by a road with lots of traffic in daylight. Why would someone be scared with that. I wouldnt, and i have a feeling this isnt the states. She does alot of recordings in Ontario :)
What a beautiful home! The colored windows around the front door was outstanding! It was wonderful that it wasn't vandalized. It would be great if someone were to restore it. Is it still there? You hit explore gold with this find! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
I've been told the stairs in the kitchen that lead to weird rooms were for slaves and or maids to use so that they could get around without being seen by the family as much. I don't know how true that is. Further, usually old houses with really thick walls sometimes are actually log houses. Sometimes in houses that have been vandalized you can look into the walls and see the logs such as the ones you saw in the basement. The next house you find like that you might want to check for that. What's nice is that sometimes houses like this that are log homes can be bought for a few hundred dollars, land not included, and then disassembled log by log marked and then rebuilt elsewhere. The siding, plaster, lathe, and other stuff thats been torn off the walls is left behind and burned on site. There are a few people on youtube who buy these old log homes, tear them apart, and rebuild them elsewhere with new siding. They do some amazing work. Often they leave the logs exposed on the interior of the home with new white chinking for a more traditional rustic appeal. I'm considering doing this myself with a smaller log home, I'm single and don't require such a larger home.
Thanks for your interesting commentary, Joe! :)
Great videos by the way. Its rare to see a woman who shares my same interest. I subscribed and am looking forward to vieweing all of your video catalog.
This has been done with stone homes as well or the whole building can be put on a truck without disasembling. I suppose it depends.
You are correct. I think there is a company in Kansas that sells completely disassembled stone homes ready for pick-up. Off topic a little, stone homes usuallly are haunted. I know that sounds weird but its true. If you watch television shows and read stories about ghosts there is usually a lot of stone in the building. My guess is that stone somehow records past activity and certain conditions allow it to be veiwed or people with extra perception can see it. My house has a lot of stone in it, built 1900's and I pick up on weirdness that happens in it, footsteps, strange sounds, etc.
it's not so they did not have to see them but so they did not have to interact with them!!! servants are to serve a person not to be friends with or make like family or anything.
Oh. My. Gosh! Love it. Would love to have seen it "back in the day."
I really admire your bravery when doing this! I could never go off and venture into these places on my own haha. Kudos!
What motivated you to explore abandoned houses? Abandoned houses always sparked my curiosity and I love your channel because it's neat how you show the inside and the stuff inside those houses are just interesting.
Pam, I think this is the first video of a house I've watched, (at least remember), where it hadn't been messed with!! It didn't seem like it was in too bad of condition. The stained glass in the front door was beautiful as well as the stair case! And that old stove was awesome!! I really enjoyed your video of this one, it was such a pleasure!! As usual you did an excellent job!! Thanks for sharing & always Be Safe!!:)
Thanks as always, Teala! I believe this house is a first as well for being untouched by vandals. Definitely makes for a much nicer exploration.
Nice work, and thank you for the respect you show the places you explore. "Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, break nothing but silence." Most of the abandonments I've found have already been trashed by thieves & vandals, but a few were pristine. Those are the most special, I think.
*Like*
Every detail in that beautiful home was chosen carefully and with love. I would love to know the back story on this house. I will not dare ask for the address from you, however you obviously know it so I am sure with little effort you could research the previous owner and what is going to built there. You found us an absolutely timeless gem! Thanks so much!
Wouldn't matter now about knowing the address because the house was demolished. Such a shame.
What a beautiful old home. The blue tile in the one bathroom is gorgeous as is the coloured glass around the door. I can envision my cats having a snooze on those great deep window ledges.
If the door shut behind me I would of booked it
I know I'm late to the party but I haven't heard "booked" in this context in a long time😁😁
I would have left screaming. Lol too much tv.
You always (from what I have seen) treat your visits as something special. You respect the homes, and are very gentle with them. I also feel the same way about other peoples' things. This subject is indeed a beautiful building, and it would be such a shame for it to be lost. Do you think it might ever be sold and restored?
I always get so scared when she goes into the basements! I've never been in one because we don't have them in FL, and seeing them portrayed by horror movies as scary dark places has seemed to stick with me! Beautiful house though, it's a shame they demolished it.
