I can imagine an elderly couple finishing out their lives together sitting on the porch..... puttering around the house doing daily chores..... great little house Kappy! Can’t wait for the next one!!
Bobbi Watts when you describe the elderly couple, you are describing my parents, my mom just turned 85, sadly dad passed away afew years ago, but they would sit together on their deck, or by the back yard fire, or at camp sitting on the porch sipping on tea or coffee watching the waves, they would often take short walks on the beach and sit by the waters edge...they would have been married 67 years this June. I miss my dad so much. It will surely be a sad day when mom leaves, but she lived a wonderful life with 9 children, a million (seemed that way.lol) grand great grand and great great grandchildren, they lived through the depression years, they lived through wwII, they experienced residential schooling, they lived a hard life...but they loved each other and gave us the best life they knew how...hey, out of the immediate family there is only one drug addict (and that is a great great grandson and one too many) , no alcoholics, Educated people..so yeah they done good...lol.... the video..lol... big difference from my parents home (our family home) is that it is still lived in (by mom) we would never leave their home with its belongings or prized possessions...I can imagine at some point, this house must have been a beauty...I will never understand how people can just up and leave everything behind...unless they had no family, still..everyone has someone, right?
Was once a Beautiful old home sad somebody trashed it...Somebody should save the old Furniture & China Cabinet..So sad to me i love these old homes I appreciate the work you do much appreciation for what you show us all💖I am always looking to see your videos...My mom's family had very old Antiques..Wood Burning Cook stove my great grandma from Kentucky had alot..an a well outside her log home my great grandad built..I remember as child all they once had.Sad when its all gone...
Amazing seeing those clothes hanging there like someone just ironed them & was going to take them up to put in the wardrobe & there they are still waiting.
I like these simple farm houses..i can imagine a hard working family..working the farm finding shelter and a good meal in their home with one or two fancy fire places...to light up there home...i wish we could have seen it when it was first built...thank you for a great video!
Wow!! Thanks for the history, can you imagine how proud they must have been, from slaves to homeowners. I think the family should keep this one alive. Love the antique vanity & mirror & the fireplace. Looks like the clothes, hanging in the hall, were just waiting to be put on for church. That was a great find & I really enjoy how respectful you are of these homes. Cant believe your so young. You must have an old soul. My son was born in 97. Thanks again for the great explore.
Hi Kappy! 👋🏼 I’m so sorry you’ve been sick with that nasty flu. I hope you feel better soon. It took me a couple weeks to really feel better. What a wonderful story that this beautiful home was built by an ex slave! He probably did the woodwork by hand himself. He built a comfortable cozy home for his family to live and love in, probably after years of being mistreated and abused. And he filled it with some lovely furniture. Antiques now. The dresser and dressing table with the mirror in the first bedroom and in a bedroom upstairs, the steamer trunks, the headboard and footboard of a bed upstairs, and the cabinet in the kitchen which is called a “Hoosier” are antiques and worth a lot of money! Excellent find and explore! This house should be saved as the tin/metal roof kept it from decaying to the point of no return. Thanks for sharing this exceptional house with us! Stay safe out there!! ☀️
“That newspaper is the same age as me.” How cute! Very interesting video. I love it when you focus on doorknobs, fireplaces, and other pertinent details of the time period. Sorry you were sick . Hope you feel better.
I have the exact little table that's in the 1st bedroom I got it from a very old woman along with a few other's before she passed, I love antiques and old homes!
Oh my, this one could be such a saver. These older homes have the most beautiful woodwork/architecture. Ill never understand why people see the need to go in and paint over the woodwork like this. Laaawd! Thank you Kappy for bringing us another amazing and beautiful find. 😊
The white cabinet in the kitchen is called a housier cabinet. I had one years ago but it was missing the flour sifter. It took me a long time to strip the layers of paint off. The porcelain top was pretty. I gave it to a friend who fell in love with it. I had a steamer trunk just like the first one you showed. I used mine for Christmas storage which doubled as my coffee table. That eventually went to someone that helped me out moving. The dressing table looked like it was still in good condition. It won't be for long because they have a thin layer of wood that will eventually peel off. Those are getting harder to find. I bet when she received that piece she probably felt special. I would love to have one. Wish that the pieces that had been left had been given to someone who would have cherished them. I get sad when I see once loved items left behind. Thanks for the video. You find the best locations. Be safe.
I agree...and what is really sad is that you can't "help yourself" because it probably belongs to someone else. I wonder what the rules are if no one owns? well I guess someone would own...if not a private owner the town or state?
I want that newel post. It is a perfect match for mine only mine has been damaged. I see them in these abandoned but can not find one in a reclaimed salvage place. Grrrrr So sad to these beautiful old homes abandoned. I love my 1900 farm house. I wish I had the money to save as many as I could. Thank you for taking us along.
We have a similar square type old farmhouse, but ours doesn't have that unique roof peak like this one. So agree with you, shame this one sits empty, decaying.
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 right now, I have some wood filler in the debts and will be sanding soon. The part I am worried most about is trying to match the stain.
Cool old house looks like a grandma's house didn't see any men's items really so I would assume a elderly woman's home. Really sad to see its been ransacked by people looking for things to steal. And the clothes left behind and so many personal items tells me that they passed away and no cared enough about the woman or the home or maybe see was the only one left no kids or anything my mind runs a muck when I see these things and I start my conclusions . Great video Kappy I hope those last houses are coming up !! Great work !!👍👍👍
Kappy, thanks for the backstory. That’s interesting and good to know. It looks like the last person in the house may have moved downstairs. The outhouse seat might’ve been made into a potty chair. Mantle piece in that one room was very pretty and the mirror upstairs -lovely. Thanks for taking us with you. Be careful and stay safe.
Hi Kappy!Another great find.I love the stairs & the hardware of course.I also love the style.I like the entrance.I like how it feels like a home when u enter.the rm next to it looks like it became the master bedroom because she was unable to get up the stairs. that seat does look like an old outhouse seat but its odd that its inside. I do like that antique vanity dresser. The fireplace is so neat & fancy but then u see on the other side a dull fireplace that looks like its attached to the nice one.the back porch looks like it was really nice at 1 time.there is some fancy but suttle details I noticed like at 4:39 u can see in the corner a nice detail. I love the kitchen cabinet.that steamer trunk is so neat & looks in pretty good shape.I love all the antiques & its so sad to see them just sitting there rotting away. at around 8 :24 u can see the attic entrance I wanted to see it.thank u for going & making this video.something in the future to document what once was.
Nice and rare find. I’ve read homes from this period (post civil war) have not tended to last. Esp sharecropper and single level homes of lower income families. A book on our county’s architecture lists one example. It’s right across the road from me but has deteriorated significantly since I remember children living there riding our bus back in the 70s/80s. It should really be preserved. Thanks for caring and documenting this treasure. Hope your feeling better. ❤️
Ooohhhhh the fireplace mantel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Old hardware!!! Wonderful history of this home. That is a Hoosier in the kitchen. Amazing that the roof hasn't been compromised yet. With all the rust it won't be long. Hope you feel better.
Thanks my friend for sharing with me this video about Packed 150 year old Abandoned House in North Carolina & A few antiques it was a really interesting video and i can't wait to see your next video my friend Kappy and God Bless and thanks again.
Such a serene setting! Very soothing sounds of nature! With all the suburbia and cities etc, it's nice to know there's still rural areas left. I'm hoping with the internet and technology that keeps advancing, perhaps maybe it'll lower demand for brick and mortar stores/shopping and slow down some development. I think it's so awesome that we do indeed still have a lot of rural areas left! Sometimes I'll randomly search Google Maps and take in the imagery and I notice a lot of rural areas still out there, which is awesome! And I love this old house, so interesting, thanks! Keep up the great finds!
Cozy place--I especially liked that back portion with the dining room, kitchen, and breezy porch. I hope you're well now, Kappy, and thanks for taking us along:)
Another Nanna and Papa’s home where they raised a family . I think Gran and Gramps may of been immigrants. I have an old trunk like that which was given to me and my ex from his father who came to Canada after WW II was over from Germany the trunk used to have a top shelf , but the ex removed it and threw it away sadly . I store/ed keepsakes for my children to pass on once they had a family . I also can see Mom and Pop’s living out their days here . Mom obviously moved downstairs after Pop’s passed away . Looks like for the most part Mom stick to that one room which you first entered in the remaining years she lived in the home .I so wish one of the children would return for the antiques. While this house does look ransacked at least there was no graffiti. Thank you for another awesome video .
You take care of yourself Kappy that flu is BAD! My husband got it too, it's nasty stuff! Beautiful old furniture, my kind of cool old house find! Take good care of yourself!! Peace, Kim ~
A wonderful find..I love these old homes. Some beautiful Antique furniture in there. The wood furniture/beds & dressers are a LOT better made that ones today. When I sold out & moved after my husband died, I left a lot of stuff, what people didn't want, but I took all our bedroom furniture, plus extra chest/drawers from another bedroom. Because I knew they were old & better made, between 40-45+ yrs old. The furniture was in the house when we moved there, my husband inherited it all, & we lived there 22 years I think. Thanks for sharing this, it was a great video. Be careful in your travels...
Thankyou for sharing this house. Whilst things seem to have been strewn around somewhat there was enough of the original arrangement to be able to imagine living there. I could see, in my mind, someone going upstairs & putting clothes away in that old chest of drawers. Imagine someone standing in that kitchen looking out the window to see if someone is arriving, checking the date on that 2002 calender etc.
I loved the backstory for this explore. It was a cute little house and in pretty good shape for it's age! Sorry to hear you had the flu and am hoping that you are fully recovered now. Thank you for an interesting video!
I loved this video and loved this place! Had I been there somebody would have had to stop me from gloving up and hucking out the garbage into a big burn pile.
Great video, I really like this place. Those fireplaces mantles are really nice, and that long back porch is awesome. Some nice old furniture left behind too. Would have still been a nice place 15 years ago, I can't understand why the family just left it to rot, what a shame. I knew you were young but you are 11 years younger than my youngest child. Wow, I'm old! Got a lot going for you kid, I hope you have a long, happy life. Get some chicken soup and some orange juice for that flu. Thanks, Kappy
Another kool abandoned house Thank u again Kappy 4 taking us along w/ u n letting us explore 2 n can't wait 2 go along on the next 1 b safe n God Bless
I've never understood why people paint over the beautiful wood fireplace mantels, or even wood work as far as that goes. The house looked kinda creepy from the outside, but then once you got in it was cozy. Another excellent video kappy.
I agree, but I figure that it could be that the woodwork was very dirty or marked up or peeling and they didn't have the know how to restore the beautiful old wood. I babysat for a family as a teen and they had a beautiful basement with gorgeous golden knotty pine panels. Not cheap 70s paneling. I was heartbroken when I walked in one day and they painted it with GLOSSY battleship grey paint. Even as a young girl I knew this was wrong lol.
I saw a lot of really nice pieces in that house that could be cleaned up and used. The house itself was pretty cool with all the tongue and groove and shiplap on the walls. Some people just don’t appreciate that old stuff these days. I have a 1965 home and I love it, so much more character than the new builds that are nothing but square boxes.
Wow! Was a nice house back in it's day! I have an old vanity with a round mirror on it almost like the one on 1st floor! Was my Mom & Dad's when they were first married! (1960)
Is that a metal roof on this place? It sort of looked like it from outside. Seems like really old abandoned places with metal roofs hold up a lot better than the wooden and shingle ones. Very cool find! I could never do this because I would spend all day here looking through stuff and trying to learn everything I could about the last occupants. Thank you for your videos!
Venessa Hamilton; yes you are correct! In fact I have a close friend of 25 years now who is a roofer, mostly copper , slate roofs but just the other day we were talking about different kinds of roofing and he said that medal roofs and slate roofs out last conventional asbestos shingles by a long shot! I guess that's why I'm seeing more and more newer medal roofs going up where I live in the south almost daily? God bless!
Yes! I am really interested in having a metal roof put on my future home. We live in the high desert area of northern AZ and we get insane winds as well as wildfires out here. I'm thinking a ICF (insulated concrete formed) home and a metal roof would make it pretty indestructible and at least fireproof for several hours. Someday!
@Vanessa Hamilton - It is a metal roof, or tin roof as they called them back in the day! They can last a lifetime. My mother’s roof had storm damage and she replaced it with a metal roof about 6 yrs. ago. Insurance companies are quick to approve a metal roof as they are pretty much indestructible.
WOW! You're a year younger than my 2nd oldest daughter if you were born in 1996. My oldest was born in 1993, my 2nd oldest was born in 1995, 3rd oldest in 1998 and my last in 2000.
the cabinet in the kitchen was called a hoosier. on the left side you can see the flour sifter and you would put your bowl underneath to catch whatever you were sifting. I had one for years, mine had a pull out table to roll out your pie crust etc. I wish I still had it now !!!
Wow that looked like an old tin roof. Was there a full bathroom in this house? All I saw was a small room downstairs with a toilet. Yikes! Hope you're feeling better Kappy!
Wonderful history! I love all the mirror dressers or are they vanities? The one mirror in the hallway was my favorite. Down right shame that it is rotting away. Fixable n I want that porch! Hope your feeling better Kappy. Stay safe and warm. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I wish there was a computer program to enter pictures and videos of houses like these so we could visualize what they would looked like before they fell into disrepair. For some reason, I thought you were older. Perhaps it is the respect in which you treat the properties that gave me that idea. You are same age as my son...now I feel old! I wish he would take me along on adventures like this.. when he told me he explored Kings Park Psychiatric Hospital, my first thought wasn't "that's illegal and dangerous!" it was "why didn't you take Mom!"😆
Lisa K - that’s right! Why didn’t he take you?😊. I couldn’t read the date on the newspaper. What was it? Then I’ll know how old Kappy is too. He sounds young, but then I’m 70-almost so everyone’s young!
@@TheCat72850 he fooled me with his respectful manner he has towards these old places. I've seen some videos on here where the people filming are obnoxious.
aw hun get better soon was a awesome find by the way that was a target practice range all those gunshots in the back ground we have one near by sometimes they practice there get well sooon hun being sick sucks hope to see ya back out and exploring soon gratefully deadicated always kim
The old bedroom furniture was called waterfall design, as the tops were curved over. Very popular in the Thirties. I love it. Shame how people can ransack a place, leaving everything topsy-turvy. No respect. Glad you are feeling better.
That man built a beautiful , stylish, well made home. Some historic society needs to save this. Please.
I can imagine an elderly couple finishing out their lives together sitting on the porch..... puttering around the house doing daily chores..... great little house Kappy! Can’t wait for the next one!!

It's sad to see clothes still hanging and sooo many personal items and momentoes just thrown around. A time forgotten. Thanks for the tour.
looks like my house after the grandkids leave..
Lol
beautiful place
At one time this house was brand new and someone's pride and joy!!! Thanks so much for sharing and blessings 🙏
I bet in it's day it was a very beautiful 🏠 house.
That piece in the kichen is a pie cabinet, nice find! Feel better soon!
Nice find Kappy. I love the beautiful vanity in the bedroom. I cant believe the mirror isn't broken. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Whoa. Awesome. Beautiful house. Alot of awesome antiques. Vintage. Thanks for the share

Sounds like the Civil War still in the back ground
Thanks for posting love the old mantels
What exactly WAS that noise I kept hearing in the background? Gunshots?

If I only had the money, I'd buy and fix it up leaving it as original as possible. You never tell us what state these homes are in.
Robert Manley. There was a whole closet full of men’s clothing.
Kappy, thanks for the backstory. That’s interesting and good to know. It looks like the last person in the house may have moved downstairs. The outhouse seat might’ve been made into a potty chair.
Mantle piece in that one room was very pretty and the mirror upstairs -lovely.

I love that house. Awesome find!
Great old house. I love that old swan neck rocker on the porch. My grandma had one and i thought it was so pretty when i was a little girl.

You seem to find some of the best discoveries among the abandoned
Another Nanna and Papa’s home where they raised a family . I think Gran and Gramps may of been immigrants.

You take care of yourself Kappy that flu is BAD! My husband got it too, it's nasty stuff! Beautiful old furniture, my kind of cool old house find! Take good care of yourself!! Peace, Kim ~
A wonderful find..I love these old homes.
Some beautiful Antique furniture in there. The wood furniture/beds & dressers are a LOT better made that ones today. When I sold out & moved after my husband died, I left a lot of stuff, what people didn't want, but I took all our bedroom furniture, plus extra chest/drawers from another bedroom. Because I knew they were old & better made, between 40-45+ yrs old. The furniture was in the house when we moved there, my husband inherited it all, & we lived there 22 years I think.
Thanks for sharing this, it was a great video. Be careful in your travels...
I loved it, as usual! I hope you feel better FAST, wouldn't want you to miss a single opportunity to video!
Thankyou for sharing this house. Whilst things seem to have been strewn around somewhat there was enough of the original arrangement to be able to imagine living there. I could see, in my mind, someone going upstairs & putting clothes away in that old chest of drawers. Imagine someone standing in that kitchen looking out the window to see if someone is arriving, checking the date on that 2002 calender etc.
I think all the older houses are so dark and sad🏠😪 thank you so much for the awesome video I do appreciate it.👍😊
Great house tour, wonderful antiques, that porch would have been so nice ! Thanks!
I loved the backstory for this explore. It was a cute little house and in pretty good shape for it's age! Sorry to hear you had the flu and am hoping that you are fully recovered now. Thank you for an interesting video!
Wow , I bet that it was grand in it's day !
I loved this video and loved this place! Had I been there somebody would have had to stop me from gloving up and hucking out the garbage into a big burn pile.
Great video and thanks for the information. 💖
Cool house! Love the big porches and beautiful fireplace. Also that antique mirror and huge steamer trunk upstairs. Good explore, thanks!
You are so good at this. Thanks
Great job!! Thanks for including the history. Feel better!!
Good explore Kappy.
Beautiful home. We have some great masterpieces in NC.
Completely agreed! I’m hoping to save up enough money someday and buy an old house in North Carolina! My favorite state!
What a nice quainte little house full of history
Great video, I really like this place. Those fireplaces mantles are really nice, and that long back porch is awesome. Some nice old furniture left behind too. Would have still been a nice place 15 years ago, I can't understand why the family just left it to rot, what a shame. I knew you were young but you are 11 years younger than my youngest child. Wow, I'm old! Got a lot going for you kid, I hope you have a long, happy life. Get some chicken soup and some orange juice for that flu. Thanks, Kappy
I just read your intro so sorry you’ve been sick! Glad you’re feeling better!
Very very Cool!! Thanks Kap
Love this one. Thanks Kappy
Nice find. The medicine bottle sitting on the fireplace mantel might have a date that would let you know when the last time someone lived there.
I did check a newspaper for date but I didn’t wana show someone’s personal information by showing the medicine bottle up close
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 also the calendar on the wall said 2005.
Very cool love it. Hope your Flu is better I had it as well I thought I was going to die lol

Wow, Very Cool !!!
New sub here. Stayed up late hours last night watching your videos, I'm obsessed with fireplaces lol thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Bree Walker thank you very much for watching hope you enjoy! Fireplaces are one of my favorite things about the old houses as well! Thanks!
I couldn’t see Kappy’s reflection! He is a vampire! Glad you are feeling better and thank you for the tour
I am from Indonesia, I really like your content and wish you always success
I've never understood why people paint over the beautiful wood fireplace mantels, or even wood work as far as that goes. The house looked kinda creepy from the outside, but then once you got in it was cozy. Another excellent video kappy.
I agree, but I figure that it could be that the woodwork was very dirty or marked up or peeling and they didn't have the know how to restore the beautiful old wood.
I babysat for a family as a teen and they had a beautiful basement with gorgeous golden knotty pine panels. Not cheap 70s paneling. I was heartbroken when I walked in one day and they painted it with GLOSSY battleship grey paint. Even as a young girl I knew this was wrong lol.
Veronica Morgan, people that paint good wood should be taken out and shot, however some woods are meant to be painted like pine.
Very true. Ruins it.
Unfortunately many years ago it was a sign of wealth to be able to paint your woodwork. Makes me ill when you know the wood underneath is tiger oak
@@jengar5217 YES. ...but love all wood. It can be cleaned if old I've cleaned and refinished all types.
Thanks for taking your precious time to record & share this post.
Simplemente hermoso! Saludos y éxitos desde, Tegucigalpa Honduras Centroamérica !
I like to have that old Hoosier cabinet in the kitchen.
I saw a lot of really nice pieces in that house that could be cleaned up and used. The house itself was pretty cool with all the tongue and groove and shiplap on the walls. Some people just don’t appreciate that old stuff these days. I have a 1965 home and I love it, so much more character than the new builds that are nothing but square boxes.
Wow! Was a nice house back in it's day! I have an old vanity with a round mirror on it almost like the one on 1st floor! Was my Mom & Dad's when they were first married! (1960)
Is that a metal roof on this place? It sort of looked like it from outside. Seems like really old abandoned places with metal roofs hold up a lot better than the wooden and shingle ones. Very cool find! I could never do this because I would spend all day here looking through stuff and trying to learn everything I could about the last occupants. Thank you for your videos!
Venessa Hamilton; yes you are correct! In fact I have a close friend of 25 years now who is a roofer, mostly copper , slate roofs but just the other day we were talking about different kinds of roofing and he said that medal roofs and slate roofs out last conventional asbestos shingles by a long shot! I guess that's why I'm seeing more and more newer medal roofs going up where I live in the south almost daily? God bless!
Yes! I am really interested in having a metal roof put on my future home. We live in the high desert area of northern AZ and we get insane winds as well as wildfires out here. I'm thinking a ICF (insulated concrete formed) home and a metal roof would make it pretty indestructible and at least fireproof for several hours. Someday!
@Vanessa Hamilton - It is a metal roof, or tin roof as they called them back in the day! They can last a lifetime. My mother’s roof had storm damage and she replaced it with a metal roof about 6 yrs. ago. Insurance companies are quick to approve a metal roof as they are pretty much indestructible.
Loved that mirrored vanity. My grandmother had one, just like that one in the house. It dated back to the 30's.
I wish I could explore this house! It’s sad to see it just left to rot ☹️
Hope youre feeling better Kappy! Thanks for the video & info on the house.
This fine old home should be renovated for its historical value alone...leaving some of the original furniture intact...
So excited ment to say your Awsom 💕
WOW! You're a year younger than my 2nd oldest daughter if you were born in 1996. My oldest was born in 1993, my 2nd oldest was born in 1995, 3rd oldest in 1998 and my last in 2000.
the cabinet in the kitchen was called a hoosier. on the left side you can see the flour sifter and you would put your bowl underneath to catch whatever you were sifting. I had one for years, mine had a pull out table to roll out your pie crust etc. I wish I still had it now !!!
Thank you for an awesome tour. 👍😉
Wow that looked like an old tin roof. Was there a full bathroom in this house? All I saw was a small room downstairs with a toilet. Yikes! Hope you're feeling better Kappy!
Wonderful history! I love all the mirror dressers or are they vanities? The one mirror in the hallway was my favorite. Down right shame that it is rotting away. Fixable n I want that porch! Hope your feeling better Kappy. Stay safe and warm. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I wish there was a computer program to enter pictures and videos of houses like these so we could visualize what they would looked like before they fell into disrepair.
For some reason, I thought you were older. Perhaps it is the respect in which you treat the properties that gave me that idea.
You are same age as my son...now I feel old! I wish he would take me along on adventures like this.. when he told me he explored Kings Park Psychiatric Hospital, my first thought wasn't "that's illegal and dangerous!" it was "why didn't you take Mom!"😆
Lisa K - that’s right! Why didn’t he take you?😊. I couldn’t read the date on the newspaper. What was it? Then I’ll know how old Kappy is too. He sounds young, but then I’m 70-almost so everyone’s young!
@@TheCat72850 1996!
@@TheCat72850 this is an amazing abandoned photos site.
This is Kings Park Long Island NY

Lisa K - wow- that’s a year after my daughter graduated from high school! Thought he sounded youngish.
@@TheCat72850 he fooled me with his respectful manner he has towards these old places. I've seen some videos on here where the people filming are obnoxious.
Thank you for sharing your great video I love the house
Thank you for the great video 😊 Glad you are feeling better!
Hope you're feeling better. Awesome house. Love that you add some history. 👍
Enjoyed the video! I hope you feel better soon.
aw hun get better soon was a awesome find by the way that was a target practice range all those gunshots in the back ground we have one near by sometimes they practice there get well sooon hun being sick sucks hope to see ya back out and exploring soon gratefully deadicated always kim
That is a nice old house
Very nice old place with furniture from the 4 ties or 5 ties.
I think some of it could be from a fair bit earlier than that, 1800s even.
That was a really dope explore. Thanks Kappy!!!
The old bedroom furniture was called waterfall design, as the tops were curved over. Very popular in the Thirties. I love it. Shame how people can ransack a place, leaving everything topsy-turvy. No respect. Glad you are feeling better.
Wow you're only 24 ? That's so young to be interested in antiques and abandoned homes. I thought you were at least 10 years older.
Great video
Hope you feel better soon, like your videos.
Be careful going in those places. Could be maniac just waiting.
