Whew,Hayden Rd.East Cleveland😨is likely 2/3rds is abandoned.Very,very bad.Old pianos probably been with church since it was new never heard of that brand upright from Buffalo,NY. modern Casio portable keyboards made old school pianos and organs pretty much obsolete according to recent conversation I had with Bill Kapp himself who has a piano store ironically nearby there IN East Cleveland.Was doing a rehab house on west side CLE house also in a declining area.Elderly woman that died used to live there family took what belongings they wanted and left behind old spinet piano in good condition.Knapp picked it up for free to donate to poor schools music class teacher to give it a better home than the curbside treelawn for the kids to destroy.🎹
Great one Dane. The vines in the window were beautiful and eerie. Glad you could film and watch your step at same time or you'd be hurting right now. Stay safe.
The decorative interior window looking into the Sanctuary from the second floor (anout 11:44) was probably intended for a Pipe-Organ Organ that was either Removed or never installed.
Hi there, that area overlooking the church sanctuary that had the screening that you weren't sure what it was for was originally to house the pipes for a pipe organ. As an organist I've been to numerous churches that had similar set-ups for housing the pipes and mechanicals for the pipe organ. The screening allows the sound to come out into the sanctuary. I live in NE Ohio (just South of Canton), so I love seeing these local explores. Great videos! Keep 'em coming!
For a church, this place has some very odd things in it like that tub! That was a weird tub. Medical books, a necessary room (bathroom?) and hotel doors? ODD! That little room may have been what we called a cry room. Mama's with new babies could sit in there and view the service without the babies crying disturbing anyone. Cool that it had a court in it!
The room was designed for the sound system. They would have the pa and speakers hidden in there. The Hammond organ would also go through these speakers. In the old days they hid that stuff. Nowadays they have it out in the open because it looks cool! It is cool. Thanks for your video.
Very nice explore, that place is really big, interesting place, the place too the right of it is a bit worn down too explore a goner pfft thnx mate nice one.
Love your videos. You are respectful, professional and don't curse like some exploers. Be careful in that area of Cleveland. I think because your darker skinned, your not bothered as much in that area of Cleveland. Don't go down in that area at night. Keep up the great videos!
Good find Urbex Dane! However, I really wanted to know what was in the Necessary Room! 😆 Anyway, I just quickly looked up Kurtzmann Pianos. I think that piano is around circa 1910. I found out that Kurtzmann opened his first piano business in 1848. "Company made upright pianos and square pianos in the early 1800s, and then by the late 1800s added grand, baby grand pianos and player pianos. Kurtzmann had the reputation of building high quality pianos that could be seen in concert halls, restaurants, elite hotels, as well as private homes of the affluent." So perhaps that old piano should be rescued. Good explore, thank you! 😊
Urbex Dane lol thanks man. Yea, years ago I had a small shed that was my spot for my band, my work shop, storage, a hangout spot and everything else you think of. I had a CB radio in there at one point and my handle was the One Room Shed. The name just stuck. Now I rep it like its my "brand".
Another great find. So sad to see so many places just rotting away though. Beautiful and creepy at the same time, the vibes that have taken over the balcony windows. I just told my husband that you are in Ohio. He's from Ohio, I think I told you that before. He asked where you were specifically. I don't know where you ate from but told him you are in Cleveland. He watched for a minute but he's off to the store. Confession areas are like two small closets next to each other with a small window connecting them. The Priest sits in one and the Parishioner kneels in the other. There is a screen between them in the window so they are not able to see each other. I grew up Catholic and hated confession. Very scary to be a child and not really understand fully what sin was and having to go into that closet. Please be careful, I know you are, but it's scary to think you could fall through the floor that way. ✌️❤️✌️P.S. I need to find out what a necessary room is 🤔
I'm not a religious person, but it is sad to see a church get like that. People were married there, funeral services were conducted there. It must be painful for family members who were connected to this church by such events to see it decay.
Great find Dane, love those vines growing up against the window and you could get some proper funky jams going on that old Hammond organ 😁 How come half the city is abandoned? That's crazy 😲👍
Hey Dane, It's been a while. I haven't been getting notifications of you're videos, I guess that's UTube for ya. I got a lot to make up. That church is huge!! I didn't think it was that big. With the condition I'm glad you went in the day. You could have fallen through those holes. I'm glad you're safe. Take it easy you're friend Jessica.
17:47 $300 - $500 current condition. Restored $2,000 - $3,000. 12:08 The hotel room rate chart was weird. The Hollenden House was open from 1965 to 1989 when it was demolished. So the question is how did it get on that door? Maybe some urban explorer playing games.
Good to hear from you Max. The Hollenden House sign & the church is a mystery. I could find no pictures on Flicker or anything. I wish I knew the answer.
Lmao, you just said something about that piano!! It is worth a lot of money! It's an antique, I believed they stopped in early 1900s! That piano could easily sell for $25,000 in decent condition, because of the damage not as much but a lot!
that piano may worth some money ranging from $500-$8000. depends what the serial # is,the year of it and condition. These refurbished can bring in some value
Im not a piano guy, but i looked that company up on google there were some appraisal sites for that piano.on the very top where you open it up to tune the piano it may be located inside. I was visiting a nursing home and I watched the guy tune it up and I saw numbers.when I asked him if he knew how old a piano was. That was the date stamp from 1911
A bit creepy and sorrowful feeling to this place.The vines are reaching in as if to say they want to be saved.If let go,I could picture them wrapped around the pews in some years from now,waiting for service to begin.Just seems sad that it has been left to sit and rot,and the graffitti is heartbreaking.Wish I could buy ya and fix ya,Cleveland!!
The organ here is a Hammond CV or DV with Chorus Generator Removed (The Black unmarked cover on the right side of the music desk cued me into this possiblity). It was probably built between 1945-1949, or from 1938-1941 if it is a D (a Vibrato kit was often added to earlier Organs by Hammond to discourage owners from buying Leslie Speakers (which many in Black churches often did, and fans of Popular and Jazz did also). The Leslie Speaker was invented by a Theater Organ fan and It wouldn't be until the Mid-1980s that both were owned by the same company.
Organ dumped on side is a Hammond M-3, made famous by Green Onions but Booker T and the MGs and Foreplay by Boston. M Series started in 1948, M-3 1955-1964.
The Hammond Organs seen in this video also have some value (at least for parts) since they are Tonewheel Generator models with Square-Front keys (TW Gen and overhanging keys, less valuable, All-Electronic Hammonds, no value, unless new).
Shame about that beautiful old Hammond C3 organ = restored those are worth a small fortune. As for that mystery room with the screen / grille, above the altar, that was typically where the speakers for that Hammond would be located, along with the speakers for the PA system.
+Rob Anthony Thanks Rob. I didn't think that room was for confessions. PA system and speakers make sense. The Hammonds and pianos seem to be in fairly good condition. Hopefully someone saves them soon.
I really liked the music in the intro. This was a really interesting explore, you captured lots of nice touches like the ivy growing through the windows. I always find books and graffiti in these abandoned places interesting too. Looks like someone was into WW II and also studying for some kind of medical job. Did you notice the animal prints in the dust inside that tub? It looked like maybe raccoons. I looked up Hollenden House (from the sign on the door) and found this: coolhistoryofcleveland.wordpress.com/tag/hollenden-hotel/ There was a Hollenden Hotel originally and then when it was torn down in the 1960's a Hollenden House replaced it. It too was eventually demolished in 1989. P.S. The 'Necessary Room' sounds super creepy, yikes.
That is weird, in Europe even the smallest decayed villages will have Churches standing in good shape. Haven`t seen a single rundown church. BTW I am an atheist, so not really feeling sad about it - just plain weird.
wooo wee east cleveland wow so this was 9/2017.... haaa i wonder why the city not pull down all the abandend places all over the great city................ i wonder if u set up some sort of city meeting w/ some hidden cam's & good mic's ..... i wonder what they would say................................???????? ... it's never good for any city to have this places up still they r all a huge eye sore & full of problem's no matter what............
Dude that Hammond is worth a good buck to the right seller. any way we can haul that fucker out and split the winnings? haha I see this place is close to St.clair no?

Intro is amazing 👍🏼 quite a few finds there. Loved the pianos in the church
Another great explore. If you do go back at night, don't go alone. Not a safe place to be alone at night!

How sad to see another beautiful old building fall apart. Nice video! Thanks!
Thanks Susan. I wish I had some information on the history to share with you. Hopefully soon enough.
Terrific introduction!! Weird Church in some places!! Nice find...
Thanks for the tour.
What an interesting church.
Urbex Dane these video you do are excellent keep up the great work you do on this you tube channel.
Great explore! Loved those "Ivy Windows", LOL It's terrible that a church of all places isn't preserved.
Your one of the few I watch man....your on a different level...I like that ....thumbs up man
+Johny Paranormal Comments like this makes my day. Thanks Johny!!
I'm a solo ghost hunter ...your a solo explorer ...just mutual respect man and the truth:)

Nicely done my friend! This was really a great find and you hooked me with that intro. Nice touch.
Thanks OneRoomShed. I like that name btw.

Oh those stained glass windows broken out.😔
Vandalism

Love your videos - I enjoy getting to see parts of my (our) city & it's surroundings I never knew existed.
Thank you Andrea. I'm happy to share these experiences with you.
Thanks, Dane☆
Another great find! The music outside the window made in really eerie
Thanks Alisa. Someone is always around when i explore these places. Makes me nervous.
Was waiting for another upload ~ awesome!
I'm sure someone already said it but it looks like ivy at the beginning
Wow this place looks incredible! I might need to make the trip!
I'm not a religious person, but it is sad to see a church get like that. People were married there, funeral services were conducted there. It must be painful for family members who were connected to this church by such events to see it decay.
great video like always I still can't believe how many abandoned places there is it's crazy
Thank you Catherien. My friend said its like ghost town that people still live in.
Urbex Dane oh wow yea that's nuts
Love you videos and work. Kel's!
Thank you very much Ryan
Man that place is JACKED!
Great find Dane, love those vines growing up against the window and you could get some proper funky jams going on that old Hammond organ 😁 How come half the city is abandoned? That's crazy 😲👍
Cool video, such a shame that the powers that be let these little towns go to ruin. Brilliant work. xx
Another great upload mate.. Love these videos. Can you possibly do a night time video?. That would be epic.
I'm sure i can brave it. Night explore on the way.
Hey Dane, It's been a while. I haven't been getting notifications of you're videos, I guess that's UTube for ya. I got a lot to make up. That church is huge!! I didn't think it was that big. With the condition I'm glad you went in the day. You could have fallen through those holes. I'm glad you're safe. Take it easy you're friend Jessica.
That room may have been for the singer when having a wedding or funeral/memorial services. Recorded music, film projection, etc...

No problem
Love ya work. ☺️
Thank you so much PinkLady216
Love the intro bro🖤🖤 BE CAREFUL!!
Thank you Dub!! Much love & thanks for the help.
Urbex Dane love you so much man and of course!❤️❤️
Um do you know how much that Kurtzman and co. Piano is worth?! Whoa that's crazy, nice video, even though it gave me anxiety. 🤣🤣🤣 take care!
Lmao, you just said something about that piano!! It is worth a lot of money! It's an antique, I believed they stopped in early 1900s! That piano could easily sell for $25,000 in decent condition, because of the damage not as much but a lot!
Dank intro man
+Emilio Guzman Thanks Emilio
that piano may worth some money ranging from $500-$8000. depends what the serial # is,the year of it and condition. These refurbished can bring in some value
Thank David. Next time I will look for a serial number. Any idea where they can be found?

Wow Cleveland
A bit creepy and sorrowful feeling to this place.The vines are reaching in as if to say they want to be saved.If let go,I could picture them wrapped around the pews in some years from now,waiting for service to begin.Just seems sad that it has been left to sit and rot,and the graffitti is heartbreaking.Wish I could buy ya and fix ya,Cleveland!!
thumbs up all the way
Im actually curious about this: how come we dont demolish abandoned buildings and make new ones, instead of cutting down forests for new development?
The organ here is a Hammond CV or DV with Chorus Generator Removed (The Black unmarked cover on the right side of the music desk cued me into this possiblity).

M Series started in 1948, M-3 1955-1964.
The other Organ a Roland, looks like 1970s, I wasn't aware of Roland home Organs of that vintage.
Kurtzman was a good Canadian brand of piano Pre-WWII.
Could be salvageable.
Hamilton is a Baldwin Stencil brand.
The Hammond Organs seen in this video also have some value (at least for parts) since they are Tonewheel Generator models with Square-Front keys (TW Gen and overhanging keys, less valuable, All-Electronic Hammonds, no value, unless new).
Small, 1 Rotor Leslie Speaker sitting on it's front @ 19:05.
Yo what cam ya use my guy?

+Rob Anthony Thanks Rob. I didn't think that room was for confessions. PA system and speakers make sense. The Hammonds and pianos seem to be in fairly good condition. Hopefully someone saves them soon.
Rob Anthony+The Hammond B3 is the far more valuable model sought by us keyboards players.🎹🏆
Ello again x----x
Hello ToastyNightcore!!
Your TH-cam name is very similar to one of TF2 TH-camr's - Uncle Dane.
Got me confused for first time. :P
SADLY ANOTHER CHURCH BEING UNUSED.
Yeah back to back abandoned church videos. Insane amounts of abandonment i see in this neighborhood.
It's modeled after Joel Osteen.
I need to go in there 😍😍
Dalal Almethen+NO you don't🚧is a very,very dangerous area.😨
Louis Aloi that's the point
grab those pianos - they cost a lot. Better second use than letting it rot or getting vandalised. Nothing immoral in this case.
I've been to Cleveland what side is like that?
Where is this located on the east side of Cleveland
I really liked the music in the intro. This was a really interesting explore, you captured lots of nice touches like the ivy growing through the windows.

I thought 15:29 there was a giant pencil on the ground
The Ghost Hunter's should go there.
was that a black cat running across the road @ 1:51?
They left a Hammond organ behind? Unbelievable!!
+Pat Narciso Yep, it seemed to be in good condition
you must be careful of them holes
What city are you in?
This church is in East Cleveland Ohio
Where is this at
That is weird, in Europe even the smallest decayed villages will have Churches standing in good shape. Haven`t seen a single rundown church. BTW I am an atheist, so not really feeling sad about it - just plain weird.
That tub might have used for baptism.

Hey, I inactivated my Instagram temporarily, I'll be back another day 🤣
wooo wee east cleveland wow so this was 9/2017.... haaa i wonder why the city not pull down all the abandend places all over the great city................ i wonder if u set up some sort of city meeting w/ some hidden cam's & good mic's ..... i wonder what they would say................................????????

My man Deshae whats good?
Wouldn't surprise me if all the people were kicked out to make way for that Muslim Mosque.
Omg I hope not. The Mosque is the only place not abandoned on that street.
