If I closed my eyes I could almost smell coffee perking, fresh bread baking, sounds of laughter, and even a few tears. Thank you Robert for the tour. Hopefully this wonderful little home can be saved.❤️🇨🇦
What a waste. The doors. The door knobs...the wood. Even though the fireplace mantel was simple...it was still beautiful. I always think that when a house like that was first built, a family moved in and was proud to call it their own...their home. Reminds me of my grandparents home built about the same time. My Grandfather salvaged windows and wood from an old Victorian that was being torn down. The floor plan was odd by today's standards...but they lived there from 1928 to 1986.
There was a guy in our area a few years ago he was going to have a house burn down like that. It was a very nice house with hard wood floors . He advertised and anyone who wanted could come in and salvage whatever they wanted from the house for a whatever they offered price. Six years later I've still got loads of molding stacked up in my basement. The porch swing is on my front porch. I sold and gave away a ton of stuff. I didn't have the energy to take the floors but someone got them . He even sold the siding off the house. So many things you could make from those windows. A greenhouse would be beautiful. I've always wanted one .
A private conversation with the house that we can all have the chance to share. I am so glad you went back to film it, Robert. This makes my heart hurt. It was a family home once, the essence of lives and time still held inside. Did you feel as lonely walking through the house, as I do watching this? It hit me hard today. 😓❣️❤ I hope it can be saved. ❣️❣️
Yes I did. I don’t like empty houses as it is - always haunting. This one especially - mainly because I was there alone. I also intentionally decided just to not say anything - a final goodbye to this house. However maybe we can do something…
@@AdventuresIntoHistory this house makes a powerful statement, the silence speaks volumes. You are wonderful at your craft, insight and talent, most definitely. If it can be saved, you will find the way.
Of all your videos this one broke my heart. You can sense the care that went into building and crafting it. You can almost hear the family life once there. The ghosts of long gone souls. I can’t for the life of me see why it’s being torn down. It’s part of history. Surely someone else with heart can see that too? Just heartbreaking. Same as in Ireland where I am I’m sure there’s someone on a tight budget who would love the opportunity to bring this old girl back. Thank you for documenting her structure. But it’s so heartbreaking to watch 😢
Cute little home. Lots of interesting aspects to it. Could almost smell it, through the video. I do like that you chose to just walk through and observe, without talking. It needed that.
This is a great example of the houses folks built during the depression where the walls were beaded board and they made do with what they had. I hope you are able to save it.
I hate to see history burned, and especially houses, when so many people are homeless😢 This reminds me so much of houses on the mill villages in Thomaston, where I grew up. Part of me misses wooden walls, and especially wooden closets...IF it must suffer a burn fate, then I hope they at least remove those glass door knobs...Thanks for the silence, to reflect on the memories that might have been in that house🐾🦊🐺
I was thinking that surely they aren’t going to burn it until some of the items are saved first - the glass doorknob, some of the doors and kitchen items. I could actually use that mirror!
If they go forward with burning it it would be nice if they let you save some of the relics that are inside I saw a few old things in the kitchen that could be saved. It's a cute little house that someone would probably love to fix up and live in.
Reminds me of the homes in an unincorporated city called Sargent, here in Coweta County GA. It is a depression era Mill Village. My Great Aunt and a good portion of my family, including my Mom lived there. Thank you for sharing.
Robert, that would be awesome if you can save the old girl. Looks like the kitchen was an add on and tearing down that section and rebuilding it would be well worth the time and money. Good luck with everything
What a cute litte house. I love all of the wood, doors and doorknobs but the tall closets in many of these old homes bugs me. I have seen closets that are divided with loft doors on the outside, but in this home it is such a waste of space. Seeing all of the calendars made me laugh, thinking of my Father who really loved his free calendars that he would get from the Chamber of Commerce, his Bank and Veteran Organizations....and yes....they were in every room of the house.😄
It’s a beautiful old house, it’s a shame there going to burn it down as there is so much beautiful wood that could be reused. Thank you for sharing before it’s gone for good 👍👏❤️
Poor house was used and abused. Love the interior walls with the wood. AND the ceilings!!! I like the natural color. Looks like previous fire damage too or maybe water damage. Oh I was wondering if there was a chimney - there is.
So many things in this home remind me of my grandparents old home, such as that linoleum rug in that middle room. I wish I had documented their home before it was torn down
I saw a LOT of material that could easily be up-cycled! All that nice wood ... which is outrageously expensive today. I do support the fire department training BUT, You and Aaron could salvage plenty from that place!
Very cool. It's too bad someone can't save it. Glad to see the horseshoe was hung properly so, there's still hope! I wonder who hung it. Always hang your horseshoes with the heels up to keep your blessings in. Irish legend has it that the devil will run from a horseshoe. One day the devil decided he needed a pair of horseshoes for his hooved feet. The blacksmith recognised the devil and fitted him with an agonizing, ill-fitted, poker hot pair. Not able to walk any further in excruciating pain, he tore off the horseshoes and threw them away. Whenever he sees a horseshoe, he flees. Thanks again, Robert for sharing your adventure and uncovering the neatest little details about days gone by. Blessings.
Friends of ours have a house similar to this one. It was built next to railroad tracks as two residences put together for miners to stay when they came to town. Hope they let you save some of the relics inside.
Yes, save the relics! I thought of the tater masher and hand beayet hanging on the kitchen wall. Those were used hundreds of times!. My dad inherited his mother's house, and we used the real silverware, and other utensils, cast iron pans, etc. I cherished those things because they were family heirlooms.
another thought, that houses lumber was most likely milled on the property it was built on, by the family. They used to set up small mill and cut down, saw, and age the wood right on the spot.
i think some houses are burned if theyre not upto safety standards or have had past reports of damage or problems that would be costly to fix; as in itd be cheaper to burn it than fix it
It’s a shame that they tear down old houses! Only if those walls could talk! Thanks for sharing & being silent! I still think it’s sad what they do to old houses,they are built so much better back then! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU ROBERT! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
That house still has a lot of good parts to it. Kitchen is done for. Whoever painted those rooms with terrible colors is most likely squatters. What a great home. Too bad the family didn't take it over after Bessie passed away. Another home left to become a wreck. You can't get homes nowadays. Prices are way too high. What a shame.
A very interesting house. So many cool things left behind. I wish houses could talk and tell us stories of what went on there and share memories of the families who lived there. The screen door on the front porch is just like the one my father brought home from Sears back in the 60's. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God bless.
To think of the happy times in this home..the scent of homemade pies filling the air...prayers being said around the table....it is sad to think they will all go up in smoke. Thank you Robert for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Robert. I hope you find a way to save it. If not maybe you could see about tearing it down and reusing the wood. I hate to see history go up in flames. God bless you for all the great videos you share.
I lived in a house built in 1857 and one built in 1930, the newer house was built poorly and totally rebuilt from the foundation up. The 1857 house is still standing mostly intact with exterior improvements. I can't see this house being worth saving, it would cost someone a lot of money and you would still have an small old house.
Hope that this house can be saved. The majority of the "bones" are good in this residence. I listened to the water dripping in the back portion and it sounded as if a clock was doing a countdown until this place is no more. Thanks for filming and preserving it's memory.
The original part is sitting good and square on it's foundations. It is always add ons that drop the ball like the back additions on this one! I would tear the new part down and rebuild it. The original part looks like other than rewiring it is mostly cosmetics.
I truly hope this home can be saved. You can see the craftsmanship and care that went into building this home. The shiplap Georgia pine boards inside that closet have such a rich patina and are gorgeous. The 6 over 6 double hung windows are like looking into the window and seeing a family gathered around the thanksgiving table saying grace and holding hands. Please keep us updated on the status of this home.
That old house looks like it still has some good bones to it.. I did notice the fire/water damage in the kitchen, but nothing too structural from what I could see.. A few thousand dollars and she'd be pretty all over again.. Thanks for sharing the tour of the beautiful old home Robert..
Would be nice to be able to save it. The back addition needs to be torn off but the rest looks pretty solid. Abandoned houses always sadden me. The windows from the outside look like sad eyes to me. The same with old abandoned cars and their headlights. Can't help but think how someone loved their brand new home or car at one time.
I love that old house. It was practical, and simple. I hate for it to get burned down, but it ain't liveable no more, and the fire dept does have to practice n train. I'm glad you filmed it. I can imagine a nice old lady puttering around the house in a housedress. She most likely sewed as most women used to, and maybe she knitted or crocheted. She fixed lunches for her kids n got em off to school. Wish I could've met her.
It would be nice to video and post the fire department setting the building on fire and their training exercise. That looked like a cast iron skillet in the kitchen next to the box of cereal. It would be a shame for it to remain in the building during the fire.
It’s so sad, someone’s home, the memories those walls hold within. The birds singing outside, her decorative glassware on the window sill and the curtains blowing. Her dishes and cooking utensils. I can just see her there in her apron, preparing tea and cookies, sitting on her porch and listening to nature surrounding her.
I pray you and the community can find a way to save this home. It still has so much life left inside this beautiful home. Some people, like myself, love living in old homes. Imagine all the families that have called this place home and the stories that go along with them. It saddens my heart to know people are welling to just throw away a piece of history.
That is a right nice old house. It would take some work to fix up the back part but the front part, not so much. Paint, flooring and good cleaning. I have lived in worse. I sure would hate to see it burned.
Wow I loved the bare wood inside the closets. The doors, door knobs, mantel, that old hand mixer, tater masher (also good for stirring paint & mixing small amts of plaster/mud or concrete) .. all nice too .. js. Man hopefully very soon someone will decide to step in & save it. At times .. silence is of the essence 😉👌🏼 Ty Robbie. B safe
It looks like an old Government construction house. back in the 1920"s and 30's the government built homes in rual areas to help populatin growth in smaller towns. History like this needs to be saved!!
I liked this, more of an urban exploring vid. I'd personally like to hear you talk as you document different parts, maybe tell how it's built from the time period it was, different features if applicable. Thanks for sharing.
That is sad. I was looking at what could be salvaged. The doors and windows alone are worth some $$$ to repurposers. Also the wood itself could be reclaimed and as expensive as wood it. It would be better to be salvaged before burning. Plus burning is bad on air quality and will leave a scorched spot for maybe years.
Yep, we paid $400 for 6 panel doors like the ones in this house when we renovated our old dog trot. The dog trot's doors were in pieces but we wanted doors the same look and age.
such a shame that there is no one that could save and revamp this little house, instead of just burning it down..so many ideas while watching you walk around this little house, like the front closet, if that wasn't needed could make a nice built in bookcase out of that space, and really show off that beautiful sawn wood in the back. House would have to be leveled, but the property is really nice. such a shame that homes like this are gone now. Thank you Robert for Documenting it. another piece of history soon gone.
This house is absolutely adorable- in need of some repairs and paint but I do love all the wood- I think it’s a shame if they burn this down for fire training because the house does not look so “dated” it’s an adorable cute house and seems to have a very strong foundation it’s not like tilting or anything. I hope they save this house. Yes it needs to be repaired but the cost of repairing and restoring this home is nothing compared to what it would take moneywise to build another one. House prices are out of this world!
I was gonna say it's not in that bad of shape till ya got to the kitchen area but still, with the housing market the way it is, it really could be saved, cute little place.
Minus the state of the add on kitchen area, the main part of the house looks so well built and solid this is a beautiful house. The craftsmanship of all those wooden walls and ceilings are irreplaceable. This breaks my heart. This house can wasily be saved and restored updated as well as left original. This makes me so sad. I can just feel the memories this house probably had and itll all be burned away to ashes😰😰😵😭💔💔💔
Simple, functional and well built. The addition(s) not so much. The newer construction failed before the original build. What is the purpose of having two entrance doors on the front porch? I’ve seen that before on houses of the era.
Robert, some places are just too far gone to try to save. To bring that house up to code would cost far more than it's historical value which is very little. If you're trying to save it in order to salvage the materials, than that may be a worthwhile effort.
@@MrJeep75 No, I speak from experience. That particular house was built in the 30's or 40's. There are untold hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of houses of that style to be found across the country. There is nothing of historical significance about it. It's only value lies in the materials that can be salvaged from it.
It seemed that they had more taste for durable easy living. Think if all the old houses that have been. I really like your walk through. To bad the roof wasn't attended to sooner. Would have been a very nice starter home for a new couple.
Robert, That's really sad, I know, because in the 1960's the Victorian 2 story farmhouse I grew up in Jackson, N.J. was burned to the ground by the person who got our farm after Dad went bankrupt. It was a lot more interesting than this one, having been a speakeasy, and had rooms for "rent". during the prohibition. It even had an old sandstone "Yankee" cellar with an old coal shoot and a hand dug well. In fact , all our farm wells were hand dug, the one beside the house have the old lattice fashioned well cover and a hand cranked rod and bucket for water retrieval. I wish there had been cell phone/cameras and You tube to document it, but all that I have is a few photos. Way to go Robert! Cheers, Rik Spector
This reminds me of the houses in my area. They are called "mill houses". When ever a factory was built back then the owner of the factory would build homes all around the mill for the workers. They were allowed to rent to own them .The house payment would come out of the workers paycheck's.
In that little cubby-hole closet where you found the bookmark, I could see something on the top shelf that may have been a book. I wonder what that was.

If you and your peeps can't save it atleast try to save the wood in it please 🙂
Still quiet about of good wood left in the house I always wonder about the lives of the people who live Ed in these old homes.👍❤️
If nothing else maybe some doors and windows and small items can be salvaged and used for the Byrd House revival.
If I closed my eyes I could almost smell coffee perking, fresh bread baking, sounds of laughter, and even a few tears. Thank you Robert for the tour. Hopefully this wonderful little home can be saved.❤️🇨🇦
I think it should be saved, its definitely of a time gone by,
And definitely historical being nearly 100years old, fingers crossed it can be saved.
What a waste. The doors. The door knobs...the wood. Even though the fireplace mantel was simple...it was still beautiful.
I always think that when a house like that was first built, a family moved in and was proud to call it their own...their home. Reminds me of my grandparents home built about the same time.

I love "homemade " odd houses. My grammar built houses that way. He'd have his own houseplan in his head.
There was a guy in our area a few years ago he was going to have a house burn down like that. It was a very nice house with hard wood floors . He advertised and anyone who wanted could come in and salvage whatever they wanted from the house for a whatever they offered price.

Houses now days are not built to last like older ones .
@Gina Parker I love those old windows . We redone glazing and all on the ones on our house and I stopped counting at 13 windows.

That's exactly what I was thinkin Meredith!
Felt very sad watching you walk through this home. Hope it can be saved. I felt the energy of the life that once lived happily there.
How adorable that house must have been when it was younger! Thank you Robert for sharing this with us
Please tell me they let you have the door knobs. They are gorgeous.
And the old hand beater hanging on the kitchen wall...oh, and that horseshoe!
I know...those door knobs!!! ❤️
All those solid wood doors.
@@sandysue202 I'll bet my sister is still looking for a potato masher like that one hanging on the wall.
I thought the same thing!
My grandparents lived in houses like this one. I could almost hear children laughing and smell biscuits baking.
If they go forward with burning it it would be nice if they let you save some of the relics that are inside I saw a few old things in the kitchen that could be saved. It's a cute little house that someone would probably love to fix up and live in.
The front door glass knob , especially or any others !!!
Hope this house can be saved. Couldn't help but think of the people whose lives were lived there.
It’s sad seeing these beautiful old homes going to waste 😓
Be sure to alert the FD to the 410 slug in the wall cabinet before they burn it. The shell could detonate.

The wood in the closet alone is worth saving. Sigh
It would have been nice if they could resalvage a lot of that wood inside
I truly understand the need for fire department training, but the wood in that house is beautiful. As expensive as wood is now, why burn it?
i think some houses are burned if theyre not upto safety standards or have had past reports of damage or problems that would be costly to fix; as in itd be cheaper to burn it than fix it
So much could be salvaged before burning it. Hope it can be saved.
Wow, much bigger inside than i expected !!!!!!
It’s a shame that they tear down old houses! Only if those walls could talk! Thanks for sharing & being silent! I still think it’s sad what they do to old houses,they are built so much better back then! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU ROBERT! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
There is a lot of parts of that house I would love to have for my house. I am at the process on restoring a old brick house built in 1860.
Hope it doesnt get burned down..it should be saved
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. Loving the history you are finding and talking about
That house still has a lot of good parts to it. Kitchen is done for. Whoever painted those rooms with terrible colors is most likely squatters. What a great home. Too bad the family didn't take it over after Bessie passed away. Another home left to become a wreck. You can't get homes nowadays. Prices are way too high. What a shame.
That house was top of the line when it was built. Shame is was left to rot away
It still breathes life…

Thanks for sharing the tour of the beautiful old home Robert..
Thank you Robert, that was fun and interesting. Thinking about the people that lived there over the many years.
when i saw the state of the floor in that porch, wow. some homes just die. glad you archived it for posterity!
The birdsong adds to the surreal quality of this place.
Thanks for the tour. That’s a great old house, even for this day and age!

Yes hardware needs to be rescued I have an 82 year old house and we still have all the original brass and crystal doorknobs.
That is a right nice old house. It would take some work to fix up the back part but the front part, not so much. Paint, flooring and good cleaning. I have lived in worse. I sure would hate to see it burned.
Wow I loved the bare wood inside the closets. The doors, door knobs, mantel, that old hand mixer, tater masher (also good for stirring paint & mixing small amts of plaster/mud or concrete) .. all nice too .. js. Man hopefully very soon someone will decide to step in & save it. At times .. silence is of the essence 😉👌🏼 Ty Robbie. B safe
Glad to see I'm not the only one left who still calls em tater mashers.
@@wondergranny2299 Me thinks it a southern thang .. lol
Lovely video. I only wish you'd shown more of the linoleum wit the roses on it. I'm a sucker for old linoleum!
What a shame. That first room you walked into, had overwhelming sadness coming from there, not anywhere else in the house, just that room.
It looks like an old Government construction house. back in the 1920"s and 30's the government built homes in rual areas to help populatin growth in smaller towns.
History like this needs to be saved!!
I liked this, more of an urban exploring vid. I'd personally like to hear you talk as you document different parts, maybe tell how it's built from the time period it was, different features if applicable. Thanks for sharing.
Very sad, Robert. Nice little home at one time. Thanks
Somebody needs to salvage those antique glass door knobs. They are very expensive now.
That is sad. I was looking at what could be salvaged. The doors and windows alone are worth some $$$ to repurposers. Also the wood itself could be reclaimed and as expensive as wood it. It would be better to be salvaged before burning. Plus burning is bad on air quality and will leave a scorched spot for maybe years.
Yep, we paid $400 for 6 panel doors like the ones in this house when we renovated our old dog trot. The dog trot's doors were in pieces but we wanted doors the same look and age.
I hope it can be saved. Thank you for the tour.
Love love love this house I love old house I wish I was there and omg that poor kitchen
such a shame that there is no one that could save and revamp this little house, instead of just burning it down..so many ideas while watching you walk around this little house, like the front closet, if that wasn't needed could make a nice built in bookcase out of that space, and really show off that beautiful sawn wood in the back. House would have to be leveled, but the property is really nice. such a shame that homes like this are gone now. Thank you Robert for Documenting it. another piece of history soon gone.
This house is absolutely adorable- in need of some repairs and paint but I do love all the wood- I think it’s a shame if they burn this down for fire training because the house does not look so “dated” it’s an adorable cute house and seems to have a very strong foundation it’s not like tilting or anything.
I hope they save this house. Yes it needs to be repaired but the cost of repairing and restoring this home is nothing compared to what it would take moneywise to build another one. House prices are out of this world!
Loving the sound of the birds
That rose color was very popular in the 40s. It was often paired with a very dark green colored wall. The beard looks great.
I was gonna say it's not in that bad of shape till ya got to the kitchen area but still, with the housing market the way it is, it really could be saved, cute little place.
Minus the state of the add on kitchen area, the main part of the house looks so well built and solid this is a beautiful house. The craftsmanship of all those wooden walls and ceilings are irreplaceable. This breaks my heart. This house can wasily be saved and restored updated as well as left original. This makes me so sad. I can just feel the memories this house probably had and itll all be burned away to ashes😰😰😵😭💔💔💔
Simple, functional and well built. The addition(s) not so much. The newer construction failed before the original build. What is the purpose of having two entrance doors on the front porch? I’ve seen that before on houses of the era.
Usually... One front door went into the front parlor for visitors & the other door went through the house back to the kitchen.
Cute little house
I was going to say with the exception of the laundry area the structure of that house is still very sound. This one would be perfect for rehab.
Robert, some places are just too far gone to try to save. To bring that house up to code would cost far more than it's historical value which is very little. If you're trying to save it in order to salvage the materials, than that may be a worthwhile effort.
No it wouldn't
If everyone thought this way Nothing would be saved
@@MrJeep75 No, I speak from experience. That particular house was built in the 30's or 40's. There are untold hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of houses of that style to be found across the country. There is nothing of historical significance about it. It's only value lies in the materials that can be salvaged from it.
@@Unit38 still would be a cute house to fix up
@@MrJeep75 Alright dude, I'll give you that.
such beautiful old wood, and those doors an knobs!
It seemed that they had more taste for durable easy living. Think if all the old houses that have been. I really like your walk through. To bad the roof wasn't attended to sooner. Would have been a very nice starter home for a new couple.
Noooo!! Save the doors. Save the windows. Save the wood. Oh that wood! You can't build a house like that these days.
Robert,
That's really sad, I know, because
in the 1960's the Victorian 2 story farmhouse I grew up in Jackson, N.J. was
burned to the ground by the person who
got our
farm after Dad went bankrupt.
It was a lot more interesting than this one, having been a speakeasy, and had rooms for "rent".
during the prohibition.
It even had an old sandstone "Yankee" cellar with an old coal shoot
and a hand dug well.
In fact , all our farm wells were hand dug, the one beside the house have the old lattice fashioned well cover and a hand cranked rod and bucket for water retrieval.
I wish there had been cell phone/cameras and You tube to document it, but all that I have is a few photos.
Way to go Robert!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I love the wood ceiling
This reminds me of the houses in my area. They are called "mill houses". When ever a factory was built back then the owner of the factory would build homes all around the mill for the workers. They were allowed to rent to own them .The house payment would come out of the workers paycheck's.
Absolutely a sacrilege to burn that down. 😢
In that little cubby-hole closet where you found the bookmark, I could see something on the top shelf that may have been a book. I wonder what that was.
Cute house. I remember those door knobs, in elderly folks home. 😏 Victorian style homes, had those.
Very nice video…nice little home where you can feel the dna .
Wow!
Looks very similar to the house (renting) I was living in in Missouri, except that roof there in GA is in much better shape .
Glad you didn’t open the fridge Robert! 🤢Agree with many that some of the wood and other things should be salvaged.
Too many sweet memories for those families that once lived there 🙏🏻💐✌🏻🥰
Love the old place....
Hope it can be saved.
Love the birds song
I'm sure Bessie would be broken hearted to know her home is due to be destroyed. She must have been bery proud of the house.
