- The house I explore was built sometime in the 1800s to early 1900s and was a very interesting style of home. The last owner of it was a local high school teacher, who rented out the property until he passed on sadly. The place has just been used for farm land but unfortunately the land is now in the process of being developed for a new housing development.

Thanks for watching everyone. Hope you enjoy it! Make sure to like, sub and hit the notifications bell if you haven't already so you know when my next videos out, Thanks!!!(:
10:42 Kappy: "Look at that old tv!! " and I'm thinking, "look at that beautiful chest of drawers" 😁
This house is starting to crumble and there's one or 2 pieces of furniture that need rescuing.
@ 12:20 notches are called dovetailing. Shaped like a doves tail
@@robinforbes3852 I never knew that this is why its called Dove tailing...of course 🤦♀️ Thank you for explaining.
I want old tv
@@Gurpreet-yl6ic hahaha 👍🏼😊
@@nicolarollinson4381 what happen
I was quite amazed at your filming style. Other videos are jumpy and go through a house rather fast where I end up nauseous. You were very slow paced and paused at the interesting things you came across. I really enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing.
Straightshooter I agree. I felt like I was there too. Very refreshing
I agree! He is amazing!
Where is this house
15:28 its called dovetailed.
Loved seeing the Charles Shultz Peanuts character mold figures. Those are legendary. Huge landmark law suites that established copywriting laws were made over those figurines.
He’s right, Kappy! You are the best!
Enjoy your style. An old soul in a young man. You take your time and focus on the details. Appreciate the background. Can understand not giving locations but the stories of the people make it so much more meaningful. Great job!
That woodworking is called dovetailing, but tongue and groove is what you meant. Thanks for the great explore. That drawer close up showed me the awesome sparkle floor that I'm dying over!!
That place is loaded with valuable antiques and collectibles! It's such a shame it's all slowly decaying. My late grandparents' house has roof supports with the bark still on them. My grandfather told me years ago the trees used to construct the house were cut on the property. I believe the same is true for this house too. I wish someone would buy the house and restore it, but from the looks of some parts of it, it may be too far gone now.
I'm in love with that beautiful chest of drawers the TV set was sitting on.
I just commented the same.
It needs rescuing
The television is gorgeous as well
Some one did a lot of sewing, and in the room with the old washing machine there is a ceramic kiln near the window! awesome furniture suprised an antique dealer hasn't already been there!
I also spotted the kiln, before entering there the Peanuts dolls ad be half painted
1970's chemistry set in the attic. Parents actually bought those for their kids.
I had one when I was about 12. Long time ago!
I would love to have that chest of drawers that the old tube tv sits on top of in that bedroom. That is nice antique furniture! That old stand mixer in the attic was so awesome! Nice find!!
Bravo! What an fantastic house! You never cease to amaze me. It's like a trip into the past. Speechless about the belongings left, uniquely beautiful. I could go on and on but I won't. I would say that you've outdone yourself but your videos are all excellent. Thank you.
That oven looks like it's straight out of Laura Petrie's kitchen (Dick Van Dyke show). 1963-ish. And you dodged a bullet going in there with that "No Trespassing" sign on the outside of the kitchen door lol. I'd have to say that this house was last occupied by the same family from the mid to late 1940s through to the early 1970s. The wallpaper is the style we did in the late 60s - papering the walls but painting the trim in a coordinating color. The orange carpet, def 70s. The stove, early 60s. The glass book cabinet in the attic is a holdover from the "waterfall" era of the late 1920s. Probably a parent or grandparents hand-me-down. But notice the 1950s "atomic era" furnishings in what I would guess to be the master bedroom where the vines are pulling the window out. That sewing machine on the first floor was from the late 60s, early 70s and probably also went down into the cabinet. The other sewing machine was like the one my grandmother had in the 30's. (I'm 59). The same family had this house for at least 40-50 years. They last updated in the mid to late 60s. That's my guess. Anyway, nice find. I'm keeping the link :) I've got a notepad open to save links of the houses I like to go back and watch again and a possible floor plan for the house I'm going to build. Thanks for all the great ideas!
this place is amazing! It must be quite an adventure to be able to explore these places in person
Oh yeah that thing in the attic is a drum peddle for a large drum. The chemicals my be from a science teacher! You da man kap!
Was a box up there too that had the 'Hohner' logo. They make harmonicas, organs, guitars,and band instruments - including DRUMS.
OMGosh, that dining table in the front room is beautiful!!!So is the chest of drawers in the bedroom. The piece in the attic with the books in it made me cringe. So many beautiful antiques.GOSH! Beautiful home and furnishings. Great vid. Thanks for going SLOW. Thanks for taking us along.
Kappy, my luv, you are young ;) The green appliances were all the rage in the early 70's. The side by side frig is circa 1972. The "old piece of furniture" downstairs is a china cabinet not from the 1800's but from around 1940. The sewing machine downstairs is 1950's, the one upstairs is 1940's(westinghouse one) The old TV, was likely early 80's. I had one similar in high school. I graduated 1982(now you know how old i am ;) That old kitchen aid mixer in the attic, well that is probably the most valuable thing in that house. People collect those and pay a pretty penny for one in that good of shape. Keep on doing what you do. I thoroughly enjoyed this video-this is the first of yours I've seen. I will have to keep watching now that I have found yours
wow! so many things i haven't seen since i was a child! reminds me of my grandma & gramps old house over 90yrs old. thank you for the blast from the past!! 👍😊
I loved the old school desk in the attic. Those are the kind of desks we had when I was in grade school from 1970-1977. They were there before I moved to Kentucky in 1970 so those kinds of desks are very old.
I love the design in the bedroom with the TV on! It looks very clean awww The old antiques are breathtaking 😊
Gilbert Chemistry set from the early 70s.
There was a lot of neat stuff in this house.
The furniture is put together with dove tail. The wood interlocks.
Diane Miller No...it's tongue and cheek . Just like there's logs from tree branches lol. I'm so bad. He's silly though. Got a good giggle.
Diane you are right, it's dovetail. Beautiful pieces of furniture left.
@@apriltvenstrup5702 tongue and groove
You are right. You know more than me. Couldn't figure out the name.
@@amkummel7257 she was joking like Kappy said....😂
If I ever won lottery I would buy up every abandoned house you have shown and preserve them !!
I'm never first...always 420!! Any way love this vid. The wood trim at the top is called crown molding. The grooves in the drawers is called dove tail. I love all that old furniture. The farmer doing the field , is that his place? I want that old hardware , and that furniture. I'll pass on the avacado stove..lol. your the best kap.
Great vid! The first room looks like things were packed up n someone rummaged through them. Seems some of the floors not very safe yet the attic looked fine. Thanx
Wow, that old dresser the t.v. was on, is really nice. The room seemed to look cleaner than the rest of the house; oddly.
I too have to say that your film work is good as you zone in on things like door knobs that we no longer see today and fireplaces,woodwork etc..really appreciate ...most urban film like they are in a hurry ,,zap ,zap...and the ones always asking for money. ...anyhow thank you ❤️☺️🎆
Amazes me that family goes through but don’t take out the expensive old retro furniture or appliances that are in great condition if washed up! Great find dude!
You know with all the homeless we have throughout this world there's far far too many abandoned houses this is ridiculous cuz a lot of them could have been used instead of letting them rot and go back to Mother Nature people could be living in some of them it's so sad to see
Jeanne Phifer sadly greed makes this impossible they would NEVER do this because there’s no profit in it
Some places allow that. Not enough, but some. A group of people do work on the house in exchange for rent then do odd jobs (not enough money to pay high rents) and pool their money while they're getting back on their feet to pay for bills and food. The reason that idea is not getting off the ground is insurance companies. A landlord will create the contract so that everything is legit but his/her insurance company writes it down as a boarding/care home and ups the premiums. But the landlord will only do this until he's got free work done then he evicts them. But, theoretically, its usually about a year and they should be on their feet by then, too. Get rid of greedy assed insurance brokers and this could take off. "You wash my back, I wash yours" kinda thing.
@thomas wolfe But yet, warmer than the outdoors I bet!
I encourage you to watch other videos where there were obviously homeless people living there at one time. They would rummage and break things. They did not leave the place better than they found it.
Looks like homeless living in there now
Gorgeous house,couple of nice prices of furniture there too.Thank you Kappy
I always wonder what must have happen in these peoples lives for them to have just walked out of their homes leaving practically everything behind. ??? Thanks for a great video.
It's called old age, dementia, nursing hm, death....those people didn't just walk away....
Elmo Trex Where are their relatives, executer of the estate, etc. ? If the were place in a nursing home some one had to put them there.
When a person is put into a nursing hm or dies other family members get greedy.....things can get held up in the legal system or the family or the trustee decides no one can have anything or the family decides it's way too much wk cuz they live out of town and lead such a busy life....This happen to my family, people that u least expect turn on eachother, when money and things are involved.....
Death
Ian Y Gath I think this is gonna happen more often in the future. When one lives life surrounded only by self and ME, especially in this generation of not relying on having families to live with purpose. Plus social media, and google have taken elders knowledge on customs away. People are now obsessed with it, even though it creates more isolation. it’s only gonna get worse. Except in the future you won’t see sewing machines, China, finely made furniture. Instead it will all be crap from amazon, and soulless, uninteresting items. All in all. It certainly isn’t going to end well.
I love the old wallpaper. The dressers and China cabinet are antiques! ☺👍 💙
This place had some cool older furniture. I notice the roof had lightning rods.
Dawn M it has be 30s because mine house has same thing
That was an old chemistry set in the attic with all of the chemicals and test tubes. Awesome finds.
I had a similar set as a kid. my mom was always afraid I'd accidentally create a bomb.
Nice, I didn’t know what it was
That’s the one I wanted for Christmas when I was eight. My mom was afraid I’d make LSD, because that was the myth of the times...
Great house. Furniture is done with tongue and groove. Can’t find furniture like that anymore. Everything is glued and nailed. Love your videos. Brings back many memories. Thank you so much.
Constance Roma Tongue and groove is usually used for floors, ceilings and walls. The furniture is dovetail!
Diane Miller sorry, had two mini strokes and I couldn’t think of the name for that. My husband did woodworking on the side, and I should’ve known it was dovetail. Just misremembered. Can’t always remember the right words.
Constance Roma It's all good! I worked with my husband for 30 years in his cabinet shop, is the reason I knew it. I pray you are recovering from your strokes!!!
Another great explore thanks Kappy , i watch as many of your videos every morning before I have to leave for the day . I can't think of a better way to start my day !! It makes getting up at 4 am easier !!!
Wow, how'd I miss this one? Lots of cool stuff in there. The avocado kitchen and the sour apple green tub scream 60's, probably the last major renovation. Great explore!
You amaze me with the houses you find I loved everything in that house the furniture was beyond cool there were so many styles. I could have stayed forever just looking at everything
Loved it ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Baseboard heaters. That dates the house in the mid seventies. Or at least when it was added. Lots of cool things about this house. Great furniture 👍 thanks for the tour.
I want to take a bath after Being in that place. Lots of great furniture You do a good job showing us
I would love to have those old dishes. And that furniture, some of it is still good and worth quite a bit of money. That upstairs bedroom with the light colored furniture was too cool! You have to go back though, i need to see what kind of books are in the attic bookcase.
Rhonda Beigert Yeah! At 2:22 those special occasion dishes were wrapped in paper, probably never used. What a shame. Amazing find!
Take them Merry Christmas!
Thank you Kappy !!! You have a great style when filming...you don't move around like a manic rat on speed like so many other explorers do! It's a real treat and pleasure watching your very interesting and informative videos!!!👍👏😃
➡ Another thing...you don't speak just for the sake of it either.
I enjoy hearing you get quite exited at sight 👀 of old furniture (the term for old furniture put together without nails is called "dovetail") & fireplace mantles and of course old door handles!! Keep exploring! Stay safe. Vanessa😎🐨,South Australia
Excellent video as usual! 10 thumbs up on this one!
Love this video, especially when you focus on small details like doorknobs and light switches. My parents had avocado green kitchen appliances when I was a kid.
The chemicals are from an old Gilbert chemistry set. I got one for Christmas in the early 1960s. The drawer construction is called tongue and groove. Did you notice the lightning rods on the roof?
I would love to see what the house looked like before it was abandoned. Great video
Looks like late 50's, remodeled 60/70's, the wood finish at the top of the walls is crown mouldings. I really liked this video,looks just like my grandmas house...fake brick...wallpaper, furniture and even the knobs in the bathroom.. you got a super cute voice too
And the lumber in the attic is mill ends, wow! Just a awesome house thanks for sharing
I had the same eagle light switch plate growing up in the 60's!
It breaks my heart, that place looks like it could be restored if someone came in to do the work, and it can be liveable again.
Those TV's especially the 1 on that dresser in the bedroom look like they still work, I'd consider going back in there with some friends and taking 1 home plugging it in and testing it out, not that it will work with the hole TV switch from analog to digital.
The kitchen is 60s, we had the same type gas oven, cook top in cabinets. I think it was the same color green.
We also had wood paneling.
Gotta love the avocado green 🤪
Barefoot hippie girls too.
Same Tappan oven we had in our house growing up (wall oven).
Tongue and groove, & dovetails ~ the furniture is just amazing! It looks like beautiful old farmhouse that the husband passed away first, & the wife was left to care for things, but unable to do so after a time. What a lovely find! I can't imagine the family didn't want that gorgeous furniture, though, wow.
I JUST FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR , THAT'S COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video Kappy. The porcelain bell you showed was a strange coincidence it had my first name and the year I was married. The chemicals in the attic was probably from the teacher who lived there. The kitchen just screamed the 1970's. See you next time, as always be safe.
The fake fireplace was popular in the late 60's early 70's. I remember as a child my mom, aunts, cousins all wanted those at Christmas to decorate. This took me back to being a young child in the 70's. I can imagine living there and waking up in that bedroom with the white single bed. I would have loved to live there.
some good old stuff in there nice one ✌👍
I was born in the early '60s, this house seems right out of 1976 to me. It's a sad one to me. It seems someone died in the '00s, and there was nowhere to bring and store their belongings. Then, the whole thing got left behind. Sad.
The green ovens I think are older than 1976. I was born in the 60's as well and my parents had ovens like that in 1970
I was born in 1959 and being single with no kids I’m sure my belongings will go to the scrap yard. I’ve already sent my nieces and nephews most items that have sentimental value but the rest will sit and rot like this. Cycle of life I guess. I’m clear across the country from my family so nothing is valuable enough to come and get anything.
@@gailrajala9028 dont be sad just enjoy what ever you have wish you joy peace and happiness 💕💞
I lived on Long Island in the 1960s. I used to explore the abandoned sharecropper houses that were on the farms. They were much smaller but like these big homes, everything was just left inside; dishes, tables, furniture, clothing, everything. The places looked like the people just dropped everything they were doing and left. What would happen is the big dairy farmers would pass away and the kids didn’t want to work for a living so they sold the farms for lots of money to developers, which included the house, barns, silos, acres of land, etc….and the place would sit empty until the developers would come in and level everything and build housing developments. The Town did save the old Davis Farm meeting house that the colonists used back in the day before the American revolution. It still have horseshoe marks on the wood floors from the horses that they brought inside when it was raining. And the natural kettle pond in the back of the property was turned into a sump for the sewer system. People back then, in the 50s and 60s, we’re not interested in preserving the environment. They just wanted to make money.
I always wonder , what happen to the families that left everything behind? And I come back to some tragedy must of happen. This was a really great find ! And I saw tons of collectibles in the house, like the toys, sewing machines and furniture tons valuables left behind. I guess because it seems so secluded people are not curious to go inside .
Thanks for sharing this great find!!
And it looks like they--or someone left in a big hurray, doesn't it!
I generally assume it is an older couples’ home that the kids didn’t want to work on cleaning out.
You would love to steal all them goods I know you would lol smh.
Hi Kappy, good find loved the old furniture in there!
It's not called "tongue and cheek" lol.... Its called "tongue and groove".... Made me laugh though 😂
Love some of the furniture in this place😊
Wow what a big chemistry set!
I know this video is 3 years old, but the view at [15:03] is incredible!
Another great video,I thought for sure that clothesline in the bedroom was an antenna. Then I had to take a second look/Great footage of the ol place. Stay safe in all you do
Was that an old pottery kiln, behind the wringer washer? In the 1950-60's you could get chemistry kits, they had all the good stuff in them, that have been determined too be to dangerous, by today's standards. What a peaceful place, thanks for sharing!
Excellent explore! To bad all that "stuff" is going to waste! Thanks for sharing!
Totally interesting house. Thanks for the video. Love the old furniture.
I can this this house being real cute at one time. Thanks Kappy!
I can never understand why the family just walks away from places like this and leaves everything! That kitchen and bath updating had to have cost some money at one point. And all the antiques in there, those were valuable! Could they even be restored now??
Death .....no family left...or lived far away..or older people that couldn't take care of it...tons of reasons....or owed back taxes on it after death and no one could pay it...it's a shame but we will never know enless we try to buy the property
Can't take anything with you when you leave this life✌
one guy abandoned his place cuz he went to prison
Alot of the time it’s hard for the City or Town to find family of the person who lived their to collect the belongings or whatever is left behind.. Hope when they do redo the property and put in new development that a Antique Collector takes all the old stuff out and saves it from being destroyed
Unfortunately not a lot of families are close knitted in the US like in other cultures where lots of family lives together or the grandparents move in when they get old etc. So often families split up across the country and lose touch, there’s no relatives to claim the stuff, or sadly they don’t care along with other reasons like the other commenters mentioned. Ideally when elders get old they should yard sale their stuff and move in with their children or assisted living but that isn’t the case much these days anymore. So when they pass often things are just abandoned.
I would think that family members would want to claim some of the stuff. The China looks like it’s in great shape!
8:43 Box on metal shelf "Diet pepsi free" old school for sure. I LOVED this video and this old house. Thanks for making it and posting it.
And 13:05 I believe its a childrens (teen) chemical/science set. I just bought one from a thrift store recently (1950s) and was shocked that kids would be given all the chemicals to play with back then BUT kids were generally in a different mind set back in the day.
Shame all the nice furniture is left behind,some really nice antiques I'd love to have.Great find Kappy
Take them! their yours! "Happy Birthday"!
Great job on the filming. Good details and you just float across the room. Very comfortable to watch.
That furniture is worth thousands. And that is called dove tail. How they designed the joints of that furniture.. Some good antiques in that old house. Even the door knobs would fetch hundreds of dollars
I ❤️your videos, keep them coming! It's like a memory or a blast from the past or something.
I agree with the philosophy of not taking anything from these explore but there are some really nice furniture pieces that should be rescued in this one.
Loving your vids here Australia keep up the good work Kap cheers mate.🍻👍
The wood finish on the top of the wall and the ceilings is called "crown molding"
Shame that the furniture is left to rot. Some of those pieces were nice. Thanks for the tour!
Gosh I Love Old Farms House Land that it sits on....Magnificent
Another great find Kappy! So much stuff everywhere. I like the tv that's sinking into the floor. I really liked the light switch cover with the eagle. I'm just so grateful you didn't fall through the floor. Great explore!
Great old house full of goodies. I had a Gilbert science kit like the one in the attic when I was a kid with a microscope, slides, test tubes and all the assorted chemicals. It was all pretty harmless, but it looked impressive. There were several great pieces of furniture in there too, like that beautiful highboy dresser with the TV on top of it, and the mid-century headboard and dresser in the lower bedroom with the vines coming in the window. I hope somebody saves the house, and the treasures inside it.
The “notched” drawer ends are called dove-tailing. Tongue and groove is usually flooring. One edge is the “tongue” and the other edge is the “groove” that fit into one another. Fun trip. Thanks!
Paneling is often tongue-and-groove as well.
We had a chester drawer cabinet like that in the bedroom with the TV on top in my childhood home when I was growing up!... Real nice house Kappy... Hope someone would rescue and restore soon... 🙂
now that was a cool explore!!!
Love your videos thank you so much preciate it.😊
You should revisit this house every year and see how much it collapsed
Nice video the upstairs bedroom where the tv was is a nice bright room there are also faces in the clouds
Wowee! An old ringer washer tub!!!! Baba, Grandma & mom all had one.
My mom was born in '77. I'm in love with that dresser 10:22 and that coffee table 11:39
Thanks Kappy for another wonderful enjoyable video about TEACHERS ABANDONED HOUSE w/ CRAZY FIND IN ATTIC *Filled W/ Personal Belongings & Antiques. I really enjoyed it my friend and I can't wait to see your next video. and Kappy I finally put my video on my channel I printed that turtle t-shirt so I hope you would let me know if you watch it. and God Bless you my friend and thanks again.
I will adopt the sewing machines. How an antique dealing would love the furniture.
Lol smh I bet you would.
I like the wallpaper in the sewing room
That was a pretty impressive house. Incredible some of the stuff left behind.
Sad I hope someone gets in this house and dave’s the antiques before the house is demolished. I can imagine the time when a family all lived here would of been a nice home nothing fancy , however still nice .
The joints on the drawers are called Dove Tail Joints and the woodwork which is on the wall close to the ceiling is I believe crown moulding. Thank you for documenting this home for us all to see .
Omg the kitchen is definitely from the 70s the washing machines out on the kitchen porch is from the late 40s early 50s . Looks like it frozen in the 70s . Hodgepodge of furnishings all different dates but still nothing really past the early 70s . Super video
This one reminds me of the "Grandma's house" explore that you did~ dang, that's a ton of stuff!!
Beautiful home! The furniture is gorgeous! I would think the secretary cabinet in the attic was from around 1890, but it was missing the desk part. The rest of the furniture us from 1910s to 1950s. In our family we have a couple of similar pieces. People had pride in their trade and the work they did, snd they made sturdy furniturebuilt to last. It's so sad it's all going to waste. I like those old colored bathroom fixtures. The green bathtub is really cool! Wish I could move into that place.
Shown at 11:02 is a "Full Size" bed with neat headboard and matching foot board. My mother bought a similar set new in 1960 which included a dresser with mirror (Shown in the corner); A high boy dresser (Next to the bed) and a small nightstand (Not seen here). Ours had a Mahogany finish. I inherited the set and was still using everything but the nightstand until 1990. I upgraded the bed to a twin in the early 1980s because a full size bed is not very big. In 1960, the set was considered cheap second rate furniture, but it was still all wood and I guess it might have cost far less than $750 (Do not know). That chemistry set 13:06 in the attic was made by AC Gilbert Company of New Haven, CT. Gilbert made "S" Gauge model trains competing with Lionel. Gilbert went out of business in 1967.
Nice Gretsch drumkick pedal in the first 20 seconds. A rock and roller once had contact with the home.
My Gosh, I love your videos, always look forward to watching them!! Your definitely one of my very favorites!!!
Once AGAIN Great Video Kappy!!!!!
Beautiful video!!! I always feel a little sad after seeing what once was...
What beautiful surroundings! Too bad it wasn't kept up and lots of trespassers weren't kept out :( There were a lot of nice antique pieces in there
