    My great aunt was the secretary to the President of Coke. Going to her house was so cool. She had so much Coke memorabilia. Especially from the 30s & 40s. She was the sweetest lady. The last 30yrs of her life she lived off just the interest of her stocks. She lived to be 100💙

      This is so cool! I spent my career supporting executives in big companies like Lockheed Martin and Xerox. I also supported military higher ups like a Captain in the Navy who was with Homeland Security when I supported him. The BEST part of history is looking at the ones who supported those who made that history! ❤😊

      @@AngelaBeverly-f8hMy Dad worked for Coke at some point in his life and he said they were really good to their employees and actually gave them cases of drinks. Idk when this was, it was before it came in aluminum cans and had the glass bottles because he would complain about lids scratching up his hands. He was born in '44, met my Mom in '74 but he was working for the Government by then. Her served in the Army Intelligence during Vietnam War, but idk for how long. He passed away recently so I can't ask him and he did so many things it gets confusing, but I remember him telling me about the Coke bottles and a massive stash of Coke products in the basement of his ex wife's house or a friend's house because Coke would constantly give employees free products.

      I wouldn't say meaningless. We collect things for our own joy. The things are meaningful to us while we live and that's important. Over consumption is an issue, but overconsumption also makes people miserable. Collect what makes you happy, and keep your friends and family close. They'll appreciate your stuff.
      Remember, this home belonged to a very rich family who had so much wealth they never had to value anything the way we normies and our contacts do.

      One trend with rich abandoned mansions is children who have painful memories attached to their childhood misery always seem to let the parents homes just erode into demise as a means of healing and all the bad memories die with the home and the parents and sadly so many things that seem so valuable and would be passed on are protected to just erode into worthless mystery.

    I wish people would take the books out of these houses. Books are becoming more rare as time passes. The first editions of books are constantly being sought after. Just taking and donating them would put them back into circulation. The least someone could do is to go through a couple and check to see if there are any first editions. ❤

      This is an EXHAUSTING task. I did it with my Dad's Civil War books and it's SO confusing to figure out if it's a first edition because a lot of them didn't say, a first edition from the original publisher, or a first edition from another publisher. There's a set of numbers and it's allegedly supposed to tell you what print, usually 1 - 9 or 10, but it's so confusing to read since it can also be backwards. Then there's determining the condition of the book. I searched MANY sites and rating the condition varied by website. The worst part was when you put in the ISBN and get results from every dang edition printed. Even worse is books without the ISBN that said "First Edition" w/o and date and you find 2 different publishers. Or there are multiple dates and you don't know which one is the original publisher or a first edition reprint from another publisher and no note on which publisher printed the book first & which printed second. Both or neither might be worth something. I'm going to have to end up taking them to an antiques book dealer to see which ones I should sell in a lot because they aren't worth anything and which ones would be better sold on their own because they're worth money. It took weeks just to search each ISBN and plug into a spread the ISBN, Name, Edition, year etc. color code it. It's really exhausting unless you know what you're doing. Like with coin collecting and stamp collecting. I haven't even started on the coins and $2 bills he collected, but pretty sure they are worth what the coin says, so probably save them and cash them in for an emergency. He also left a baseball bat and a baseball. Can't read the signature on the baseball and the bat...it's a game day bat they gave away when they played at a new ballpark. Probably not worth anything so i'll hang it on the wall because it meant something to him. I gave the baseball to my nephew. I don't know if it's a practice ball or a game ball. No year marked. He just told me to never get rid of the currency, bat, and baseball. The books though...that's probably more work than they're worth.

Ck new school shoes of the list. Yesterday. Brand-new, still in the Page LEGO Baseplates in the trash. Those things are $10 a plate. And there are 2 thrift stores within walking distance and another a little over a mile. Who take both items. One of our thrift stores picks up old furniture. That ether they clean and resale or they take apart and probably gets rid of it. All well helping the Homeless. I'm just amazed On what people Throw Away. When I was moving last year.

    My grandparents on my mother's side built a flat-roof, California style home in a then-stylish neighborhood adjoining a 27-hole golf club, where they were members for years. This was in the northwest corner of a largish, Midwestern US city.
    Long story short, the club's investment arm was buying up farmland north and east of the larger city; they sold off the old golf club and buildings and filled in the pool. They built a larger, newer golf club, and the old golf course was subdivided into everything from building supply stores and other shopping areas, and new apartments and condominiums.
    In short, They Trashed It! The old course was used as a cross-country ski area in the winter.
    I still go up to where the old clubhouse stood when I'm in the area and walk where the pool used to be; the place where my grandmother and I would play our annual round of nine holes on the "Ladies Nine" or "Little Nine" part of the course, where we'd eat our lunch, and where I went swimming when I was in my 12-15 years.
    The home was surrounded by woods, and had a stocked trout pond in front of it. My grandfather kept a container of fish food pellets that I used to take out on the little dock and throw out on the water, watching the fish swim up and make the pond come alive with fish jumping for their daily snack!
    Amazingly, the house and the woods are still there! It was remodeled recently, and I wish I had been able to go to the open house and talk to the realtors showcasing it. It sold for somewhere in the mid three-hundred-thousands, and is still a showpiece of the neighborhood, with all the trees and wooded land behind it still standing, albeit remodeled on the inside, and the back area having been added on to, with a patio and an outbuilding tool shed--this according to the pictures I've found on one of the realty sites.
    It was built around 1969-1971 or so. I so miss that part of my life. I miss my now-deceased grandparents, and both my parents, who died way too early in their lives due to illness. The memories of this home where I spent a couple to three weeks of my summers as a young man are indelible, and I will cherish them, and take the memories of the Love I Was Given, and was Shared, with me when it is my time to pass on to the other world.

    My dad was a Coke vp, employed there over 40 years, and this could easily have been my parents' home. It made me so sad to see the once loved items just left there and the home abandoned. I wonder what happened, if/whether the clean up was just too much? My dad passed in 2005 and mom in 2013, and the home was SO difficult to clean out, with decades of accumulation, but we managed to get it all finished and sold the home. The dishes in the kitchen are quimper, a French pottery, and expensive. I don't understand leaving behind family photos. It looks like something tragic perhaps happened right in the midst of cleanup.

    Cool place. Thanks for taking us with you. Your videos always make me reflect, that many of your other viewers say, that we are all just literally passing through life. We can be here one day & gone the next. A lot of your abandoned homes histories relate to a sudden tragedy where a loved one is lost unexpectedly. Makes one reflect on how precious & short life really is. One thinks back to when they homes were vibrant & full of life & how they looked in their glory days. 6’7”. That is pretty tall.

  • @Amberber14
    @Amberber14 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I'm not reading through all the comments to see if anyone said it but no the kids name is not GAM... That's a monogrammed towel. It's more than likely the initials of the child. G. A. M. You missed one in the bathroom as well it was white and had initials monogrammed on it.
    Also, the thing on the childs bed was not something you pull out, you are thinking of a trundle bed that would be located under the whole bed. That is actually used as a side rail of a sort (think hospital bed where you pull the metal bar up) to prevent the child from rolling out of the bed in their sleep and landing hard on the floor.
    Just for future reference. 😊 Great video!

    Wow, what a beautiful home with such positive energy about it. The one bed thing you weren't sure about is a safety rail to keep young children from rolling out of bed at night. It either had two or the bed was set against the wall and only one rail was needed to prevent a young child from rolling out. The two opposity rooms off of the main living room were most likely for either men or women to gather together in smaller groups during dinner or cocktail parties. That was a thing in the 60's. You can kinda tell by the decor which was the man's room and which was the women's. If those walls could speak I bet there were some times to be had out parties, holiday parties, dinner parties and cocktail parties.
    Thank you for this tour of such a spectacular home and property. Way, way, way out of most people's budgets. I hope the widowed daughter who lived in it last with her children, made a good profit from its sale.

  • @suzter

    You’re so young! (Naive) That initial note was hinting that someone threw an adventure/mystery theme party there. Obviously, after the estate sale (hence prices on items that didn’t sell).
    I’m surprised you haven’t picked up on the fact that once a house is abandoned, it’s then left to anyone for anything. Parties, explorers, squatters, etc.
    It’s not that the last owners had weird furniture set up in various rooms, it’s that people squatting or throwing parties moved stuff around! In particular, the “pantry” room was set up to be the bar for some party.
    Even the living room was clearly empty at some point, and someone later moved those items (lamps, chairs, sofa) into the space to accommodate a party or a live-in.
    Anyway, just keep it real!

    Very cool house! Here are some random observations. It looks like the first room before you entered the master bathroom was a dressing room/closet, not a bedroom. I say that because you were right when you said that other closet wasn't very big. I think the GAM on the towels were probably initials not a name. I wouldn't be surprised if they put that glass up to keep the heat out of the upstairs. The heat in the living room from the sun coming through those windows probably rose to the ceiling and made that upper floor very hot.

    That blue bedroom has a bedrail (which are removable and adjustable) for a toddler so they don't roll out of the bed and hit the floor. The sleeper on the bed and the toy indicate their small child slept in that room. Or it was used for the small grandkids when they would visit. That's my take on it.
    Fabulous tour. Wow. Such a shame to see it all slowly becoming a part of Mother Nature again.
