The Incredible Abandoned Ghost Town Houses Down South in North Carolina built in 1888

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 เม.ย. 2024
- These historical old houses were built in the late 1800’s in a small rural old town. Not far from the coastline. Sometime around the mid 1960’s the houses were converted into apartments and then as the town’s population dwindled over the years slowly all the apartments eventually went vacant. Mostly just a few stray cats living there now. Sadly there future is a bit uncertain but glad I could document the beautiful old historic architecture. Still had some pretty details inside like the wainscoting and hand carved newel posts. Really neat old places! Thank you for watching! Like and leave a comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!

I could cry for the sad beauty of these houses. I just imagine them in the 20’s or 30’s, a Sunday morning, Momma making breakfast, Daddy reading the paper in the parlor, kids getting ready for church…curtains blowing gently in the windows. Nicely kept lawns, hearing good mornings from neighbors, just poignant and sad to see these beauties decaying. Thanks for showing us Kappy.
Still amazes me that such beautiful buildings would be abandoned. Am thankful that you are documenting this. Future generations will have a record of what society chose to either preserve or destroy.
I really appreciate you saying that! Figure atleast documenting in pictures and videos is the next best thing until I can hit the lottery haha! Thanks for watching and the kind words! :)
Always enhances my day when I can view an Exploring with Kappy old house ! The woodwork, fireplace and staricase are still lovely. Always feel such bittersweet longing for a time of long ago when life was more innocent and people valued a family homestead. My best to you, Kappy, and all who come upon my greetings this Saturday morning !
So kind of you to say!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! Glad you enjoy! Have some very cool old houses on the way!! :)
Thanks for sharing these 2 old houses 🏘. I love the old fireplaces.
@@denisewatson5295 glad you enjoyed! I loved the ornate fireplaces as well! Thank you for watching! :)
2 beautiful wasted homes. I absolutely loved all of the original parts. For sure had squatters in them. Thank you for another great explore.
Still beautiful after all the years
Completely agreed! Thank you for watching!! :)
As a child I lived in a grand old house that had a built in manual doorbell like that & it had the best ring tone! The house also had the old push button light switches & wonderful woodwork & original iron radiators! It was a great experience!
Yes, you can tell it has been butchered up, but it still has some cool original tell tale features of a better managed time ! How cool! Thanks Kappy! You are definitely our favorite urban explorer!!
I think that chute may of been what they call a dumb waiter to send food down to the dining room, great video Kappy 😊
Lovely old homes…sad to see how they were just left…neglected. So many beautiful details and features. If only I was wealthy…sigh. Thank you Kappy. You do a great service to these old forgotten beauties.
Were these once boarding houses for railroad men? They look like they were pretty nice back then. Sure don't see such care and craftsmanship today. Thanks, Kappy!
Thank You for what you do, some of these old houses always remind me of yesterday so to speak.
It breaks my heart too see these beautiful homes left to decay! Very awesome video bro! ❤️🤘👍
The second house looked like it would've been beautiful in it's day. Great find, Kappy!!
Agreed! Was basically same layout as first one just not nearly as remodeled! Thank you for watching!! :)
I love the detail on the gables. So pretty! Some of the woodwork is beautiful! These are a great find Kappy! Then again, all the finds you bring us are amazing! Thanks for posting and wishing you an amazing weekend! 😊
Right!! Love the neat little details always included in the old homes! Thank you so much for the kind words and watching!! :)
These two houses look like twins with so many details in common. Both are so beautiful and would have so many stories to tell. Thanks Kappy for a beautiful explore!!
Another awesome 😎 house.. nice woodwork and staircase.. beautiful house.. thanks for all ur videos and sharing
Glad you enjoyed!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Super old houses. So sad they sit there to rot. Thanks Kappy.
Love the fireplaces and the large rooms and the big windows. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Kappy for showing that cool old house. Bet it was awesome back in the day. There were some cool features.
We always love joining in with you.thank you.
Two very cool places. I'm glad you added some basic information on the house (s). 1880, the year my grandfather was born. Both houses were great but I'm glad the second house didn't appear to be made into separate apartments. I just love the architecture. The fireplaces, the trim. I definitely don't like the tiled ceilings that they started doing in the 1960's and though in one room they were taken down, sadly it doesn't matter anymore. Those tiles (I think we're made of asbestos) would stain quickly especially with smokers in the house. I got a big kick outta the carpeted kitchen. My mom, back in 68 insisted on carpet for the kitchen. Ugh! She said she was tired of mopping the floors all the time because of all the high traffic. She learned though that mopping was replaced by shampooing the carpet, lol. Great explore Kappy! As always I truly appreciate your adventures. 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lolol! I’ll take mopping over shampooing a kitchen carpet any day haha!! How funny! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I adore all the fireplaces and large windows. I find it sad that everyone wants new everything. A handful of people appreciate the craftsmanship of these older homes.
Once magnificent!😊
Agreed! Thank you for watching! :)
Great video! These homes were beautiful in their day.
We are so pleased to watch your videos on these grand old houses. My lady loves the old wallpaper in them 👍
Glad yall enjoy! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Love the second house it was gorgeous and and the first house has some strange layouts both houses are worth fixing up great video kappy
Two great finds kappy as always!! These are two beauties you can see in your mind renovated as a bed and breakfast,love the fireplaces, staircases, doorframes,and I especially like the fact it was by a railroad,I love trains,the charm of trains passing by,would he the selling point for me!! 👍🏼😎💯💯💯🦚🤕🍰
WOW! Great tour ! Beautiful details! Thanks for sharing. 😊
The first house could be reclaimed but it's a shame about the second one. The woodwork and windows in both were so beautiful. I wonder if being so close to the noisy and busy railroad tracks had something to do with them being abandoned. Hope all is going well with you, Kappy. Stay safe out there!
That house was great when it was new!!!! It has good vibes!.
Great explore, l like seeing the designs of the old houses, I can usually replicate them into doll houses. Thanks for sharing and have a great day and safe travels
The hope and dream of building a home, watching it grow from infancy to maturity, and the pride of the first night's stay, is unforgettable.
It becomes a living being with birthdays, holidays, and eventually becoming part of the family.
Memories are temporal, and beauty fades, but the skeletons of forgotten wooden ladies are a reminder of hopes and dreams.
Each journey is an exploration of time, and time lost.
Loved the exterior of this place. First half of the video I'm dreaming of all the cleaning and painting it would take. Then, the massive ceiling failure made me remember that dreams are, just that. Yikes, so sad there are so many great features to that place but I think rehabbing it is too massive a project for most people. It must have been amazing at one time. Thanks, Kappy
What a beautiful home. Oh if walls could talk. I love the porches and floor to ceiling windows. The detail that used to go into architecture. Even the most humble homes were built with thoughtfulness and and eye for detail. Built to last a lifetime.
I love these old houses. I would say they were beautiful in their day.
Agreed! Wish I could find old black and white pictures! Sometimes I can but it’s rare! Thanks for watching! :)
I always love the content, but truly it is YOU who make these so authentically enjoyable & watchable. You are the best of the best Kappy.
Oh man that is really too kind of you!! I appreciate you saying that! Made my day, really needed that, thank you very much! :)
Thank you Kappy. That was another nice tour.
Two nice ones. Lots of stories to be told. Thanks for sharing!❤
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This house is awesome! I love the layout. Wouldn’t mind living in there if it was fixed up. It looks like there was many apartments in it. Beautiful Kappy! 😀
Those Virginia creeper vines by the front door drive me nuts! I live in Florida and they’re everywhere…ugh! I agree, they kept features on the house intact which is a good thing. Thank you Kappy 👍✌️
The woodwork inside and outside was amazing! I know that the first house was carved up weirdly for apartments, but I have seen worse and someone appreciating the beauty of the old work have successfully restored them to beautiful single family homes. Join us next week when Kappy takes us on a tour of the first occupied historic house he visited.
man, I bet that 2nd house was absolutely beautiful at one time
Those old doorbells are the coolest things ever! Amazing when you come across some that actually still work. Like listening to another moment in time.
Cool house, train tracks and lake...nice
What a gem. Love all of the fireplaces and woodwork.
Cool it's so big ❤
Such beautiful unique fireplaces😍
hmm recent date on that newspaper curious 🤔 likely left by a squatter
That’s what I figured as well, definitely seems like squatters stay there at night time! Thanks for watching! :)
I think both houses were turned into apartments. Even as apartments, I bet they were beautiful and substantial until they were left without any care.
Thank you so much!!
Once again, very sad to see big old beautiful homes go to waste 😢
Ty so much Kappy 4 this vid. The houses were awesome. I love old places. I get a kick of 96 ways 2 get into the house and into the rooms cuz of so many doors in these old places! Great job as always ty 4 ur efforts! Plz b safe out there.
Question: Have you ever asked if “ Is anyone in here?” and gotten a reply? When I used to explore, ( way before cellphones)
after I left an old abandoned ranch house way out in the country, there was a person looking at me from inside the window as we were leaving the property; after that I didn’t go solo . It scared the bejeezus outta me !
Luckily not that I remember, I think one time I asked is anyone there and heard some loud bangs like someone coming towards me so got out of there lol! Thanks for watching!! :)
urbex Exploring with Kappy thannks for sharing with me this video of this very old house i really enjoyed it my friend and God Bless.
Cool houses. Interesting to see the next door house to have an idea what the first one originally looked like.
Many years ago we lived in a house with wall-to-wall carpeting, including the kitchen! Naturally, we ensured it was deep cleaned before we bought it. All was well and good until a couple years later when the dishwasher broke down and flooded the kitchen - carpet and all! Yeuch!!
Agreed the second house was basically same layout of first just not remodeled so much! Sheesh tho lol!! Def a good reason to avoid carpet in kitchens and bathrooms haha! Thanks for watching! :)
I've watched you explorations forever. You do a spectacular video on these houses every time. If only walls could talk, but sometimes they do. 🙏❣️
Thanks for sticking around so long with me!! Couldn’t show these places without yall! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I bet that was a beautiful house at one time..Holidays must have been magic..
Would have loved to have seen them before the '60's. Someone needs to invent a time-machine for Kappy. :)
If anyone is in these
abandoned places
there’s a chance they
are watching and hiding
from anyone be very careful.
What cool houses to find and explore !! I enjoyed this vedio as well as all of them Kappy...These houses both had their own pretty fireplace mantels,stair cases, amongst other things. It's a shame that they are just sitting there wasting away. But you are right, it would cost so much to change them back into houses or restore them as apartments. I absolutely loved the front door on the first house... I was hoping the door ringer still worked when you was twisting the key...
Thanks again Kappy for taking us on a great explore !! The wallpaper was cool too !! Take care Kappy and stay safe out there !!!!
Saddens me to see such former beauties abandoned.. House #1 would be perfect restore & convert to bed & breakfast.. Thank you Kappy you find the best.....
How sad, these once beautiful old homes, will be torn down, & gas stations, dollar stores or homes will be built on all the acreages. Lovely find. Stay safe. Thank you for the uploads.
Lol, my granny wanted carpet in the kitchen because the floors were always cold. Then a couple years later she had it ripped out and went to linoleum. They sure cut it up weird to make apartments. Can't say I ever seen a doorknob split like that. Another great video Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
How funny about the carpet! Lol don’t blame her! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Nice But strange Place. Probably was really really pretty in it's day. Thanks Kappy!
Nice explore as always❤ those houses didn’t look that bad inside….beautiful actually
Agreed! Just the second house with some major collapsing parts! Thanks for watching! :)
A couple remnants of America's past, and each bearing examples of different ambitions and ideas. Methinks the remodel done on the second one might have compromised the structural integrity, but it certainly kept the sense of the building's grandeur intact which was so well hidden by the apartment remodel job done on the first house. That first building was a veritable maze, with so many doors leading outside and an interior room had a wall made of exterior siding: admittedly creative! You captured some stately, ornamental fireplace mantels! Lovely molding, hall paneling and woodworking. The intricacies of that decorative exterior are a lost art. Today, we build 'em clean so's to make upkeep less, but we're starved of the beauty. Weather-beaten, overgrown, paint peeling, busted windows and exterior molding in disrepair, these neighbors on an old town street are still a sight to behold and vestiges of good living in the past. And you captured them on video beautifully, Kappy! TY so much! A Lovely tour and visit to the past.
Another nice find.
Wow now this house is something else the fireplace mantles are in very nice shape an thr floors upstairs are nice shape too and this is in north Carolina I have friends in South Carolina..Humm..this thing is beautiful from the outside
Glad to see this one , little late didn't get notification as usual I got to thinking usually have one from Kappy by now and looked to see ,glad I did,it is beautiful and woodwork great ,the railing on step,the second one beautiful also,to bad already starting to fall in,great week Kappy ,two beautiful ones
Beauties both houses. Sounds like a bad leak in the 1st house. Weirdest bird I have ever heard. Love all the woodwork and the old wallpaper. Possible squatter. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 you always do a remarkable job documenting these beautiful abandoned homes. keep up the good work and always be safe out there 👍✌️🇺🇲
Thank you for the long explore. Beautiful and depressing all at the same time.
Thank you!
Oh my gosh my great great grandma lived in one of those houses thank you for exploring them 😊
11:28 I’m sure you have noticed the abundance of houses you explore that have Christmas decor still present.
Hi Kappy,Thanks for showing us these two beautiful homes.The first one was a bit puzzling trying to figure out what it once looked liked before the crazy apartment renovation was added.I love watching your amazing videos.Thanks can't wait for the next one.
Agreed! Luckily the house next door had the same layout and was less remodeled! Thank you for watching!! :)
Love this video! Thank you for taking us along.
Beautiful homes. Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Very cool houses, I wonder if they were built for families to live nextdoor to each other? I love that old sink!
Thank you for sharing ❣️
I try to imagine these beautiful homes in their hay-days, when the original owners looked through loving eyes🫠
Hard to believe how well it's standing for well over 100 plus years (less the few collapsed rooms)🎉
Such a shame that these two homes have been left to fall apart. The first one definitely had a crappy conversion. Also a shame all that woodwork had been painted. I'm sure these were both lovely homes once upon a time. Glad you were able to document them Kappy.
Happy Saturday Kappy!! Thank you so much for bringing us these beautiful houses! The woodwork is so beautiful! I love the gorgeous gables, the stairs and fireplaces! I really love the second house, the fireplaces the curved door absolutely amazing. I can't even imagine what it's like living so close to railroad tracks like that. I mean I love listening to trains. That would definitely be the up close and personal living close to train tracks experience. Heck yeah! Thank you again, Kappy!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Once the roof goes it’s over. Just a matter of time. 😢
Thanks for the video. 😊
Lovely home.
The similarities and differences were interesting between the two houses. I wonder if originally built for two related families. I’m not a fan of main staircases facing the back like these were but so many other aspects were great before the remuddling into apartments.
Thank you Kappy for adding these two lovely homes to my weekend!
Thanks for all of your hard work . Hello to Ruby
Just me now, thanks for watching
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773😢
@@OliveDNorth I’m sorry yall, back to just ol Kappy
I heard that squirrel chattering at you when you were approaching the house, I guess he wasn’t too happy about you invading his space. I can just imagine the whole house shaking when a train went by. It sure must have been a huge house before it was chopped up.
Very beautiful house but so sad I love your videos thank you for sharing it God bless you
We had a doorbell like that in our apartment in Manhattan. The building was built in 1915.
Awesomeness Kappy! I know both of these places..got video myself somewhere lol! Great work man as always!
I can just imagine those houses when they were alive with everyday people and chores.
Wow, train tracks right in front - wonder if they used to stop to pick up or leave passengers off...
They were once gorgeous farmhouses, so sad they wasn't cared for.
Kappy seems to find the beauty's.. Was this a house or mansion? Had to be gorgeous in it's time. Just sad to see falling into need of repair....
Great video. It's obvious these houses were built at the same time by the same builder. Possibly for the same family. Ironic they are both going to get torn down at the same time too. Too bad, they were nice houses in their day.
What a creepy looking house, there must be so much to explore in the states
Still a beautiful house
Love all your videos❤
Have some cool ones on the way! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Beautiful ❤❤
I ❤ that House! Petticoat Junction! 😂
