My grandfather Rupert owned Evergreen Valley Ski Resort and the chalet for 7 years. So I have spent many days and nights at the chalet. At the beginning of the dirt road leading to the Chalet there is a cabin on the right. Walk into the woods to the right of that cabin and you will see his gravestone about 30 yards away and maybe 20 yd from the road. It's like a private cemetery with just Him in it.
Honestly that is absolutely cool. We own a very famous restaurant and had literally hundreds of movies, music videos and photos shot there. Sometimes you don’t realize how lucky we are to be part of history.
Whomever broke all those windows are evil. That will destroy the house in no time. I hope she told the historical society so that they could fix it since they own it. Peace be with you. I would love to own that property for the peaceful serenity. All the nature surrounding the house is amazing.
In Europe, sinks in bedrooms seem standard with shared bath down hallway. Everything really is in amazing conditions considering the year built, open to elements. I wonder how he got it built. Not really a basement when it's all windows. Probably my favorite part of the house.
He helped my grandfather emigrate (sneak) in America in 1943, my grandfather was an SS commander, he helped him move to Maine as a "polish" immigrant.. of course he was german actually, our family still lives in maine to this day, myself included. True story.
It is sacrilege to allow such a beautiful piece of historical property to decay so much for lack of care. Nature will surely reclaim it as is evident from your tour. It's gorgeous & needs to be taken care of . I understand it's expensive and toiling but that's the cost of posterity. People need to see, experience such treasures for real to appreciate them for what they are. I am curious , who owns this estate property now ? Can it be acquired for preservation ? What's current status of it & what if any are future plans for it ? It is surely very unique, and deserves a better future than what I see occurring now. Tks for this most informative video tour.
Sad to see this workmanship go to ruin.. what kind of society just lets a place go to rot. Especially considering the construction and the use of a local stream for generating electricity…I am not going to watch this any further…it’s too disturbing something this beautiful and back then so ahead of its time for off grid or vacation living.
A"society" that appears to have lots of $$$ but whose members have lots of "air space" inbetween their ears??? Ridiculous to just let it slowly rot away......
I've worked with the historical society in Vermont, where I'm from. I believe the way it goes is they match someone dollar for dollar on projects that like that. I'm not sure what happens if no one is taking care of something like this. It's absolutely a shame to do nothing with a place like this.
I do lots of tree work in the lovell stoneham area, it's a beautiful place, great views everywhere. I have never heard of this building before, thanks for showing it.
York Maine/ cape Reddick had one very similar on top of Mt agamenticus . Tiny ski operation in early 70s. It was beautiful. Too hike around the old trails and look at the chalet was extremely fun , gratifying. People lived there. Was used for functions . But fell into disrepair I believe. Been years since I've been there. But worth checking out. Old Indian lore , the view amazing..can actually catch glimpse of Mt Washington on very clear days. But surrounding communities like wells , Ogunquit , York , kittery. Portsmouth etc. Used to be a fire tower you could climb. Like all the great things. " they " find a reason to tear it down or prohibit it ..who are these people I just wanted to be enjoying..lol. unfortunately true though.
Everything is perfect except for that fireplace. What an odd decision to go with those massive, irregular stones. Rose quartz or not, it looks completely out of character.
I love the place and you effort you put, to share this video with us. An the "history" that local people was think in of him. But the photo of orient man with him and green and red, make me think 🤔 if he was working with someone, was for Japan. But real good work! Thank you.
why are you so worried about the things being sturdy? that place looks fully intact with not a single broken or rotten board. it's also a log cabin, they withstand the test of time, every time.
So what's the story about the house and property. Can it be bought ? Is it in a park or state or federal land....how much land is available with the house
There's an old ski resort overlooking moosehead lake on big moose mountain, formerly big squaw mountain. There was talk of opening it up again but don't know what happened! Use to be able to drive right up to the hotel by the ski lifts but they have rocks blocking the road now! Always kinda reminded me of the hotel in the movie , the shining ! Always wanted to walk around inside of the place but that would have been breaking and entering! Beautiful view of the area once you get up there! Anybody know what they are doing with ski resort lately?
Do all Mainers a favor by not posting stuff like this online. Vandals will use this to find it and destroy it. You're not doing Maine a service by advertising our abandoned buildings.
Suggestions. Go back in spring or fall so that you don't have all the foliage blocking your view, bet you can find the gravestone. Plus, do you know if the dam he built is nearby?
One criticism, turn that light switch back off… if power is flipped back on, sparks could fly. Otherwise really cool property, hope someone buys and rehabs it.
I am heading a project to begin identifying old gravesites in my local area. I am in a master's of history program at the local college. I would be interested to hear more about the gravesite of Roy C. Wilhelm, and if you need any friends to assist you in the footwork it takes to find and identify the gravesite I would be willing to help. Locally, we will be identifying old gravestones in known graveyards and matching them up to historical records of deaths in the area. When we find that we have not found all of the gravesites that should be found in the main graveyards, we will begin the process of finding the "lost" gravesites, or in other words those sites that are probably hidden on private properties and we will need to attempt to find some of them that are buried on private properties but still have headstones. Beyond that, finding the graves of the folks who were buried without gravestones is highly unlikely but would definitely make for a great story. Anyways, good luck out there in Maine, that site is massive! And epic! Keep searching for lost history, thanks for the videos!
Pretty sturdy looking building still and it could be completely upgraded and renovated to like new with time and money...lots of money lol,,only not sure what's around there to do and the hillside living will wear a person out pretty quickly. Millionaire's get away home.
Real main-e acts like to burn houses, i lived in northern me . From 1975 till 1981 , the break into camps ,steal what ever then torch it , friends and relatives get the same treatment too .
My parents were talked into a time share and took a loss, this place was never going to be Sunday River or Sugarloaf, someone with a plan in reality would of known this, buy the property, tear down everything but this lodge and turn it into getaway for weekenders with money and maybe one day you’ll break a profit

I guess Stephen Kings owns Evergreen valley now, Im local and want to see it turned into a backcountry ski resort so bad!
Why doesn’t someone restore this place???

That is the coolest abandon Cabin i have ever seen. The Swiss style works so well in cold places and was quite sofisticated for the era.
Bavarian

Yes it is in desperate need of preservation.
Maybe a bear done it
Beautiful place😊
She won't report it, she filmed the no trespassing sign, but went in anyway.
What a shame that this place is no longer in such a good standing as it once was. Really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Thank you, Jim!
what a remarkable building, and such a man who built it. I hope it is cared for in the future.

True story.
Who owns this property now? They should install a new roof immediately before this is lost forever.
It is owned by a logging company. They don't care about the chalet.
@@michaelaldrich6906Which company?
That is not a wagon wheel light fixture @5:05. It is a ship's wheel like you see in the old sailing ship movies.
I thought I was the only one who noticed I had to say something to 😂😂
Same
Accomplished people are often maligned by the jealous.
Tragic but very true. Some things never change.
Kinda happens that way when you're complicit to murder....

This is the saddest one I have seen. The place is amazing and needs to be restored.
That cabin should be saved before any more damage happens it’s a beautiful log home ‼️. All the work that went into it,wow
Someone restore this amazing property. If I had the money, I so would restore it.
Sad to see this workmanship go to ruin.. what kind of society just lets a place go to rot.

A"society" that appears to have lots of $$$ but whose members have lots of "air space" inbetween their ears??? Ridiculous to just let it slowly rot away......
Well, yes but also better than seeing the forests up there get developed. I like the big woods and want it to stay that way.
What kind of society?? Hahahaha hahahaha. Get real dude, has nothing to do with "society". It's whoever took ownership of it
I've worked with the historical society in Vermont, where I'm from. I believe the way it goes is they match someone dollar for dollar on projects that like that. I'm not sure what happens if no one is taking care of something like this. It's absolutely a shame to do nothing with a place like this.
People in Maine are busy maintaining their own old expensive cabins deep in the woods, they don’t have time for the nazi one.
What a cool place!!, it would be nice to see it completely refurbished!!!
I do lots of tree work in the lovell stoneham area, it's a beautiful place, great views everywhere. I have never heard of this building before, thanks for showing it.
I learned to ski on that evergreen mountain remember this place been years since u stayed there while we all had great times skiing
That chandelier looks more like a ship's wheel than a wagon wheel!
You’re right Henry, definitely a ship wheel!
It absolutely is a ships wheel.
That's what I thought!
Just found ur video, great job,such a shame nobody takes interest in preservation its amazing ty for showing .
Beautiful. Would love to see someone restore it.
Why is this place not being saved? What a beautiful home and property!
I love that you put the time into researching history. I subscribed. Looking forward to watching other videos.
Bet that fridge. Still works.
Nice house. The history of the house makes this more interesting. Thanks for vid
What a shame the state of Maine doesn't have a caretaker posted there.Any other state this place would be ramshackled ❤️🤔🤠 Ship's Wheel 🛞 Chandelier ❤
That old place is magnificent
That is a ship steering wheel not a wagon wheel
Thanks you, cam on ban da cho moi nguoi xem video ngoi nha hoang rat thu vi

The light hanging down looks like it’s actually a ships wheel.
The chandelier looked like the wheel of a ship
Grand Old Place , would be fun to breath life back into it .
Take a lot of work to clean and fix it up,but it would awesome if someone would.
Ima go live there and protect this place now wow 😍
Someone needs to rescue and restore this place!
Really cool old place and a bit spooky, You’re brave going in there by yourself, thanks for posting 👍
Everything is perfect except for that fireplace. What an odd decision to go with those massive, irregular stones. Rose quartz or not, it looks completely out of character.
why are they letting such a beautiful place just rot away ILL TAKE IT

“Aaaaand there’s the basement……”
But wait, why didn’t you go down there? 🤔 lol.
waiting for the jump scare the entire time!
Curious about his hydro set up
why are you so worried about the things being sturdy? that place looks fully intact with not a single broken or rotten board. it's also a log cabin, they withstand the test of time, every time.
Sad to see it just rotting away. It is an absolutely amazing place
I just found your channel. Great content! Thank you.
Thank you friend :)
Good video, You should take a friend, old houses and surrounding property can be dangerous
Fantastic video. Can't wait to watch your other ones. Keep up the good work!
What a shame to let that place go .
That would be awesome if it could be restored and made into a veterans and FIRST RESPONDER retreat for groups or their families
So what's the story about the house and property. Can it be bought ? Is it in a park or state or federal land....how much land is available with the house
Its a shame that places like this sit empty unused wasting away
Lovely place.

I think sugarloafs company bought it
I sure hope somebody does something with this place...before it gets beyond repair... At the very least board it up and secure it
That place would be awesome restored...

Wah! Wah!
Suggestions. Go back in spring or fall so that you don't have all the foliage blocking your view, bet you can find the gravestone. Plus, do you know if the dam he built is nearby?
Great looking cabin, glad there is cc or I would not have been able to hear you, but that is an interesting looking cabin.
Someone wanted his stuff during the war I'd wager. Cleaver setup.
What an awesome cabin!
Surprisingly no squatters. I had that problem once at my seasonal camp in Maine.
I loved the sound of your breathing.
So sad, someone should fix it up♥️
Is it for sale. ? I need a place to live.
Wagon wheels don't have a bunch of perimeter handles but a ship's wheel does.
Was there any family to keep the lodge in shape?
One criticism, turn that light switch back off… if power is flipped back on, sparks could fly. Otherwise really cool property, hope someone buys and rehabs it.
Thank you for this tip, I will remember that going forward!
There is no power
Why are they letting it fall apart.😢
Disgusting that they are letting it go to hell
This cabin needs preservation right away or it will go to krap within a few years.
Sad it is left to rot It could be turned into a youth hostel. or something nice.
Its still recoverable and maybe even more so over time.
That’s actually a ships wheel I believe not a wagon wheel
You are correct!
That's a root cellar. It's most likely where they stored food.
Thats a ships wheel chandelier not a wagon wheel.
Is it for sale?

Not quite the Swiss Alps but still a nice spot I wonder if Hitler hide out here 🤔
It's the steering wheel off a ship, not a wagon wheel. In reference to the chandelier
The power is still on... 😂
Subscribed.
Hope to see many more videos on your channel in 2024 and beyond.
Pretty sturdy looking building still and it could be completely upgraded and renovated to like new with time and money...lots of money lol,,only not sure what's around there to do and the hillside living will wear a person out pretty quickly. Millionaire's get away home.
Real main-e acts like to burn houses, i lived in northern me . From 1975 till 1981 , the break into camps ,steal what ever then torch it , friends and relatives get the same treatment too .
That's not a wagon wheel light. It is the steering wheel from a ship. Most likely a sailing ship.
Nice place and big.
That is a ships wheel chandelier.
Wondering if the Swami from Pastrami was ever there?
Shure looked like him in one of the photos!
The name of his faith is pronounced Buh - High
What a wonderful place to live.
Sometimes people do weird stuff but sometimes they are slso guilty of everything people say . Never know now . Wha t beautiful place though
I would love to live in a place like this!
My favotite place! I miss it!
That wasn’t a wagon wheel chandelier that was a steering wheel to a boat
It's not a wagon wheel. It's a ships wheel.
that's not a wagon wheel its a SHIPS WHEEL
Sad part is we probably paid for that hideaway
That is not a wagon wheel that is a ships wheel.
That is NOT a wagon wheel light it is a ships steering wheel
Ships Wheel,,,,Not Wagon Wheel
My parents were talked into a time share and took a loss, this place was never going to be Sunday River or Sugarloaf, someone with a plan in reality would of known this, buy the property, tear down everything but this lodge and turn it into getaway for weekenders with money and maybe one day you’ll break a profit
