- This gorgeous Victorian home was built in 1880 and will almost certainly be demolished. This house is owned by the government of Canada and is in the way of a huge project. Sadly many other beautiful houses like this have already been demolished in the surrounding area.

We need a charity to preserve these old buildings made of brick. These new ones are pretty much made of paper and won’t last. You can’t even make a brick house anymore.
When even the government itself is in league to annihilate these pieces of history, nothing can get in their way, especially not charity unfortunately
They call that charity the historical society They do a good job of preserving historical structures in my town
I have drove past this house many many times over the years,,, the Airport they never built so many farms demolished and cleared.
The 407 also ruined the area all these old buildings and farms were still being lived in and used in the early 1990s progress sucks.
From this point all the way past Markham destroyed by development and progress.
Thank you for documenting this
Thanks for the video.... the concrete tank in the basement was a cistern which would have originally collected rainwater in the early days before electricity and indoor plumbing. There was likely a hand pump at the kitchen sink to utilize the cistern water in the early days. 👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it is HORRID they will demolish this GORGEOUS home and probably put up some junk building with items made in China no doubt. HORRID!
I can't believe people are so foolish to tear these beauties down . I love my town which is filled with 1880's to early 1900's houses , mine is 1924 . many more from the 30's , 40's and 50's .
This is beyond sad. This still looks restorable.
STOP THEM!!! PROTEST! NO MORE DESTRUCTION!
Please start saving these homes with grace and dignity ❤
Please, someone, save this treasure !!
I live in an old restored 1880s Victorian farmhouse
Lovely looking house.
Too bad its renovation in the 50s signed its warrant of death. These developer vultures love to exploit loopholes in heritage site designation to level down buildings, even when their facades are absolutely authentic...
Please do not demolish that house !
This farmhouse is beautiful- sad that's it going to be demolished!!
What a shame 😢
How beautiful she is! I’m sad 😔 she’s being demolished! Very cool video bro! ❤️😘👍🤘
People want to live in cornfield houses, no style no architecture just a box in field next to hundreds like it. the UK learned the lesson of teardown in the 50's. Now they cherish what it left.
It's ashamed that most people now a days do not appreciate old houses. They want to tear them down and replace them with some modern junk. Old houses original woodwork was made by hand. You don't find that any more.
11:20 that's called a cistern (water reservoir.) You would gather rain water, river water, and/or pump well water. From the cistern, the water would be pumped to the kitchen and bathroom. Once electric well pumps came into being, cisterns were no longer used.
Prior to pumpable cisterns, there were gravity cisterns, which resided in the attic. When you opened a faucet, gravity would do the work of transporting the water to where it was needed.
Thank you for the information. I didn’t know anything about cisterns.
@@urbexontario73 You're most welcome. A few years back we purchased a 60s farmhouse, and I was surprised to see an old cistern in the basement. It hadn't been used in many years, so when we renovated, I converted the cistern into an exercise pit. Now the space is usable again, instead of just a dry hole in the floor.
Such a cute house. It's a shame it is being torn down. I would love to gut it and bring it back to life. Thank you for bringing us along dear.
In Britain we have cold water tanks/cisterns, my Dad moved ours up into the attic to improve the water pressure. Before, it was a galvanised smaller tank next to the bathroom, and he replaced it with a black plastic circular tank. As far as cold weather was concerned, we never had it freeze on us.
This house really isn't in bad shape, just filthy. A real shame to tear it down,could definitely b restored.
WHY? What ever they build won’t last as long.
This is a crying shame. This beautiful old house is still solid. It could be renovated and lived in. What a waste to demolish a house like this.
I could never do these tours....hate spiders with all my life lol 😂
Ya I don’t like spiders ether lol
Thank you for filming the old houses- they will only truly disappear if we forget them. Thank you!
awesome video buddy!
That concrete box in basement was a water sistrin or water basin
Dang another nice one bites the road construction dust.
Thanks for the tour!
👍🤠
Too bad it was left to rot! They can be moved to another location and renovated. I'll take it if it is free and comes with land. I could clean it up and live in it in MN. If anyone wants to gift it to me...I would love to own a house, even a "fixer upper" like that one.
I like the staircase and the bathtub. I like those bigger bathtubs these old houses had. It seems that all or most of these older homes, someone painted all the wood trim. I wonder why people didn't just leave that as the beautiful wood? People have been "paint happy."
This is a home, not a house. It actually makes me mad it, and any others like it, are being demolished. It not only needs to be saved but restored to its original splendor and lived in by people who will love it and take care of it. Sad it's not possible the past residents can't be talked to in person since the original owners till the latest to hear their stories of their memories of living in it.
Very attractive home, we need to stop tearing everything down.
Back when buildings were a form of art.
Those ceiling tiles were the thing in the 1950's. The problem with those old homes with lath and plaster is they were not insulated. If they are in an area with cold or freezing winters the cost of heating them can be astronomical. The floors buckling and being uneven is most likely from settling over the years or a foundation issue. The ball light fixture on a pole was from the 1960's. Most of the original wood trim has also been painted over.
They will tear down a beautiful old house that could be bought and renovated but they'll build a shit box in its place! The wood alone in that house is worth a kings ransom!
140 years is a long time...
It should be preserved and revered
The concrete big square in the basement is probably a Water cistern. They probably didn't have a well. Water was piped in from the gutters to fill it.
Thank you Urbex❤❤❤
Nothing like physically destroying history. I'm so sorry it is being torn down. More than likely for newer, modern homes. What happened to just reduce-reuse-recycle? It isn't on a register apparently, so they could really save that home for far less than building a bunch of homes (depending on how cheap the materials for the new homes are.) At the very least, save some of the material; people love parquet flooring, especially original.
As a antiques, old soul, it hurts me to see how much our younger generations growing up are not going to see in-person. Watching a story about old homes is one thing; seeing one and actually touching the house, and experience the textures isd another. I'm sorry to those, and to that town. It's happening all over the world. We just don't care about history anymore.😔

Breaks my heart to see such beautiful homes being destroyed!
Cistern in the basement for water storage, if there wasn't adequate water from a well.
The big cement tank is a cistern.
It's a pretty house. To bad they slapped carpet down.
It says welcome not demish!
That’s a keeper not a typical farm house
What I find amazing is, at the start of the video there's still an electric meter attached to that house. A deterrent for wire thieves.
This poor old house doesn't look like it needs much more than a damn good cleaning (and I'd be quite up to the job.)
It makes me sad to think this is going to be so much rubble in a bit...
That is probably a cistern in the basement.
That big tub in the basement my guess was a cistern.
The insanity of pulling down what it took your grandfather so much work to do. Is it disgrace? When will the insanity stop we need history we need to keep history, and if you don’t keep history less, we forget. Regards Al from down under save your history.
Bonjour. J’adore vos vidéos urbex. Merci. 🇧🇪 👍👍👍👍
Why demolish it, it could be an historic landmark, today's people are so rude and disrespectful towards the old historical life.
Square glass fixture is late 50's. I think that place has been vacant for at least 30 years. If they left the water in the holding tank that damaged the house years ago.. What a shame
Two reasons...Caulking the screws is a squatter deterrence so they cant have light or air from open window or door...also a 4x8 sheet of plywood goes for almost $80-100 ...has no value if you have to destroy it to get it off and there are people who drive around doing this 🤦♂️
No I take that back what I said about the house black mold that's why their going to tear it down
Some houses used to have a cistern for water storage
If the wiring was made of copper that is probably why they took it. At one time it was very valuable. So sad what's about to happen to this aging beauty😥
Beginning at 20:46, until the end, I could see many orbs in your video. Lots of spirits hanging around.
Would love to have seen the original interior. What was done later absolutely ruined the interior.
Beautiful house on the outside, but the cheap renovations over the years ruined the interior.
It's called a sistern and was used for water be in the old days
It's a pity someone won't at least salvage the old brick. That can be reutilized in reproduction homes.
Pelo que entendi, vao demolir esta casa??????!!!!!😮 Ela é linda. Eu realmente gostaria de morar em uma casa assim. E para que? Para construir algo padronizado, sem personalidade?
Za deskami jest ktoś zamurowany. Potrzebuje pomocy. Pozdrawiam.
Sign says no trespassing, you are breaking the law!😑
Recuperar y restaurar para darle la vida que merece.
Where!
Honestly, all the crappy remodels of cheap wood paneling and wallpaper, among other things, has removed all the character. I’m ok with this one meeting the wrecking ball as there is nothing here that’s really worth saving.
The state should preserve & restore that house that's american history
Except it’s in Canada 😂
@@robertlyman9789 CANADA IS NORTH AMERICA !🤫
Mam wrażenie że za deskami kryje się jakaś tajemnica i może być w tym momencie ktoś zamkniety to jest moje zdanie. Pozdrawiam serdecznie miłego dzionka życzę powodzenia 💕
Beautiful home...really could be gutted and fixed...if a person could afford to do so...are any of these homes of historical significance?
Why does transport Canada have a sign on it?
It was expropriated to build a new Toronto Ontario Airport that so far hasn't happened. The government started expropriating these properties in the 70s. North of Pickering Ontario
Dam shame
That to me is a silly place for a kitchen sink. Not much room to wash and dry dishes. I would have it under the window more space to do the dishes. No bathroom upstairs?
😢😢😢😢 🏡
So sad
Wait , They could put 15 -20 illegals in that house ! LOL
Showing the same stuff get going

Speak up. You mumble.
under the red & white tiles was luan, a floor leveler. i had to lay it in my 1890's bathroom floor. it had been a bedroom, & was put in half for the bathroom. next to it was the other half, too small for anything but a tight office. i hope they salvage those historic features. i wish i could've taken my original 1930's cabinets from my last. house, they were so sturdy & spacious. i think the pulls were original too, they were gorgeous. they had been painted ove many times. i finally couldn't take it anymore & found out it was pretty easy to clean them up. the top layers peeled off easy, the bottom layers were oil paint so they took a bit more work. they looked so beautiful after. they were a flawless chrome with swirls.
Houses like that should be protected no matter where they are.
i had to have many of my plaster walls & ceilings sheetrocked, much to my chagrin, but they kept peeling, buckling out & i couldn't figure out the problem. i had a lot of it done for me after i tried to patch it myself only to have it buckle again. it was hard & took a toll on my old body while i was in the military & working as a janitor for nys.
Do you not know how to read? It said no trespassing!
