I have seen a lot of things made into houses but this is by far the most beautiful one I have ever seen. She was a TELLER there when she was young! What amazing history this building holds for her. She is correct by, she IS A QUEEN!!
Can you explain why private boxes weren’t returned to previous owners? Why she wound up with a vault full of valuables that weren’t the banks to give away?
@@shianmendez6516there are laws that allow you to claim stuff if it’s considered abandoned, especially if the bank made a reasonable effort to contact the owners or their heirs.

Been watching 100s of Van Life videos for several years and I can recall my top 5 builds. This woman's home ranks in my top 10 awesome custom homes. I can see she absolutely enjoys her space not to mention she used to work there. Very cool.
Harald Sturm feminazi fascist do not care about what they destroy. just like the Nazi party this female feminazi wants to send men to the molding sauna of doom...
she did such a beautiful job designing her home- i like that she added the 1/2 circle curve .. that really made it look amazing with those high ceilings.. her taste, the jazz bar vault- amazing!
So weird she lives in a building where she used to work. This is awesome!! I would love to tour this place irl!! She did an amazing job turning this into an actual home yet keeping the bank charm too.
+Joe Lanzisera I guess that would kinda be like Storage Wars from TV, if you were alive and knew the Bank was closing, you should have gotten your shit out! I guess if the person is dead you just get what comes with the bank, Now that has to be the safest bar in the world. I always thought of either a Bank or a Church, because the outer walls are just massive and great to look at, and there is always something hidden in both buildings.
I love what she did. There are a lot of small towns with abandoned buildings. Surprised someone who works from home haven't done this with housing crisis going on.
@@MyNameIsWes No it's not moist, it's *just* heat. The room is made of cedar which is naturally resistant to any regular moisture from the air anyways, and if you are ever in doubt after a use just leave the door open to ventilate... it would be just releasing heat to the rest of your house and not steam. It's a DRY sauna. It's like sitting in an oven. I lived in a house with an unventilated dry sauna exactly like hers for 10 years with no problems.
Keep in mind that she has old bills which are worth a lot. So not a bad investment. I like how she used her creativity to decorate the bank to her taste. But everyone here has different taste. I would of done something different of course.
I think her decorating style is cheesy and that rose-colored carpet is utter crap, but as an idea, it's pretty cool. Too bad she didn't hire a decorator. In the right hands, this could look phenomenal.
Great Job,In Australia,old Bank Buildings are for sale from $100,00 and upwards. They are impressive buildings as they were designed to last,are secure and have a high quality of workmanship and attention to detail.My Dad was a Bank Manager and we lived upstairs over a Bank for years.Great place to play as a kid. And yes,I did end up working in a Bank.
Drove by this place a gazillion times growing up and never knew this was someone's house...thank god I never tried to walk in thinking it was a actual bank
This is such a amazing beautifully designed house. Kudos for her being so clever. A true original. Most houses now a days look all the same, good for her making something her own ^^
I just thought what of she runs in the vault to get something and a string from her jacket or clothing catches on and she gets slammed in(it'll take a day or 2 for the fire department to cut in)
Just shows how weak a lot of regulations in America have been that someone in 1989 could buy an old bank and keep a lot of the contents that customers entrusted the bank with.
something about peering through the middle of an authentic old school bank vault and seeing the bright neon "JAZZ" above a bar.....that's like design perfection right there
Congratulations!! You live in a crack house!! You’ve reached your goals in life so now you spend the remainder being hateful, jealous, and miserable towards those who have a better life!! Grow up!!
I love it too . Superb conversion . Fabulous home , though I think I’d fasten the open vault doors to the walls in case somehow they shut . A stupid fear , perhaps the locks are disabled anyway .
I like the fact that this woman saw her old workplace come up for sale and thought "I'll have that!" It brings all sorts of thoughts to my mind, I can remember the feeling of being at my first real job years ago, and some of the places I worked as a young man. I think it would be a gas to have bought out one of those old places to create a home out of... especially the old mill building that was about 200, 000 sq feet! Thinking about owning and living in the place that was so influential yet was a place where I was the lowest of the low, just starting out... and where are the people who once were my bosses and owners? Yeah that would be kinda sweet.
This looks like a great place. The owner was smart to have scooped it up. Old buildings like this are a sound investment. I would gladly give up a backyard for a downtown place with this kind of style.
I'm sorry but what sort of IDIOT buys a bank and thinks that the VAULT, right, the most secure room in the whole of the building, HAS to be a bar? YOU HAVE A VAULT, USE IT PROPERLY. Damned thing should be a shelter/panic room. SMH.
If she can afford to buy a bank,convert it into a home and listed on historical registry I doubt she's an idiot. The bank itself is probably already built like a tank. And the bar can double as additional shelter anyway......you just go inside and close the door.
BlackWorldTraveler Yeah, it can double as a bar, or you could fit it out a to be a survival shelter that doubles as a bar, rather than the other way around. What is the problem is the first thought. The first thought shouldn't be: Bank vault = bar it should be Bank vault = panic room THEN you think, and everyday use should be a bar. Her first thought was to show off, and to make it a bar. That's just stupid. It should be loaded with supplies, and then when she needs to go in, she has a phone and supplies and a loo, and can go in without having to worry about getting hurt. What's she gonna do when she goes in there? Drink alcohol get drunk and wait for it all to go away?
+30secondstomarsMBH She can just close and lock her front door like everyone else. Not you typical house door. It's a small town It's not a bank anymore. She will be fine.
Brad Lee Firstly a panic room in a bank vault wouldn't be gotten to by anyone unless it's a crime gang. Secondly, everyone should have a panic room, especially in the US. There's no need for a gun, yet Americans have them, and with that threat, everyone should have a panic room. Thirdly, why not? It's a room in which you can shelter during an attack or disaster. It's another mechanism to keep you alive and help you survive, use it. Fourthly, being paranoid helps keep you alive numbnuts. Survivalism is about being prepared. If something happened WE'D be the ones staying alive during a disaster and you'd be the idiot civilian that we'd have to protect and help. Survivalism works, it's better to be prepared and be able to survive than to die and survivalists have found themselves in situations where they've had to use their training to save themselves and others. Don't discredit it.

she got it in 1989, renovated the same time, so it is the same. very chic for its time
Don't assume this is brand new renovation...it was purchased in the 80's, so a lot of what you see was 80's style.
