This is my Great Grandparents' home and thank you for the video walk through. It has been a long time since I have been there to see it in person. I do agree that it is sad that the home has been abandoned due to the sale of the property many years ago by Melvin's side of the family. Alice was my grandmother.
I’m so happy you like it. I met Linda a few years back and she gave me the grand tour! A lot of great comments in here. Wonderful family and amazing old house!
@ theKrisLite , it’s such a shame that it was left to decay that way. It has such good bones and beautiful wood work! I would love to hear some more stories about it and memories! ❤ I’m sure we all would!
It's a beautiful area and the house looks like it was beautiful in it's day. How long has it been vacant? It doesn't look like it's been vandalized, just mother nature and father time.
@@secondaryhighwayПривет я из России , нашла твоё видео я в восторге 👍 какой был шикарный дом , какие масштабы , а какая вокруг природа Красота ? Про такое можно сказать , здесь не ступала нога человека .. Но судя по дому марадёры вынесли всё , что могли растащить . За видео огромный респект 👍👍❤️❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺
Yes, and no ' noise '....most Tubers....paste crap noise. Waste of good electricity = '' In Memory of '' ! or fore providers....! Due to them ;;;;; WE ARE H E R E
This home is still beautiful to me! Amazing staircase, and woodwork! All that crumbling plaster makes the rooms look worse than they really are. It has good bones! It still could be restored if someone could afford it ❤️
We can see the decades like they are passing before our eyes...the wringer washing machine, the old wooden chairs, the old stove, the sofa, the 1960s lamps. Sad as it is to see the house abandoned and in such disrepair, I'm glad to hear the original builder lived a long life, and that when he and his wife had to leave their home, they left together. I loved the views from the arched windows in the attic, and the staircase (despite the bird droppings). As others here have said, I appreciate the being able to read the history of the original family, and explore with you, rather than being distracted with a lot of narrative such as "Oh man, look at this!" I feel that your films of these homes are very respectful, and you are documenting their current state. In 30 years everything may be completely gone.
Yes...and we' ll be g o ne....too. Others...will ' look ' and wander through our modern houses....?....ha. That, won't happen - they're built TOO CHEAPLY - these days. Like most things...use once, garbage/ buy again..../ o well....late 60's.....i wont be around .....long either.
So many people turn these into vanity channels. Thank you for NOT doing that. Thank you also for allowing time to read the text. Not everyone is a speed reader as some channels seem to believe.
@@Bearwithme560 That gets a bit monotonous, frankly, constantly trying to pause and rewind. A few extra seconds to allow EVERYONE to read the comments is appreciated!
Such a shame to see these beautiful homes lost to time and the elements. If only they could continue on through more generations and families. A sign of modern times when we see these treasures long abandoned and all but forgotten. It made me so sad to think of this couple leave this home for the last time. The home that they shared for so long and raised their family in. And the chairs at the windows in the attic made me picture him sitting there in his elder years reminiscing about the past and contemplating the future. It’s so wonderful to know the history of the family. I’m glad this home seemed to be a happy one and the couple lived a long life. Thank you for another peaceful and well done video.
It's so fascinating to read your comment and know we are on the same wavelength!Leaving a Home like this for the last time just gets me-maybe a national historic preservation society is called for to try and save these treasures whose Beauty will always live in my heart!!You don't get the same feeling of Home in a big souless city where nature takes a backseat and isn't embraced and enhanced by some family who has put their Blood,sweat and tears and created these Legacy Homes that exude a warmth and light still to this day!!!
The design of this house is stunning! You can tell they had such great taste and attention to detail. So sad she has no one to love and care for her now like David and Clara did.
I just love that tv on spindle-y legs and the beautiful curtains behind it that were perfect for those windows! And when you went upstairs and the tattered curtains were wafting in the breeze...so many feelings. 🥹 My favorite area was the attic. What an incredible attic!!!!! Those windows!!! Thank you for the tour.
so sad.. what a beautiful property.. moving to big citites is wrecking our connection to the land.... hopefully , this property gets the love it deserves to be restored....thank you for posting..
@ what a beautiful way to put it. I love the quiet, with just the sound of your footsteps, the breeze and the birds. As I watched, literal smells came back to me from my Grandma’s kitchen
It's terrible to see all the love and hard work this young couple devoted to their dream just rotting away. Eventually, there will be no witness of any memories or existence.
Great video. Spent many years in the prairies in Alberta. Love to hear that prairie breeze. Even 40 years ago I would see many of these buildings left to decay and just have that desire to pull over and look in there, but of course they are all on private property so one could not trespass. It’s wonderful to have that opportunity now, to see the lathe and Plaster, the woodwork - I remember when my mom got her first wringer washer what a joy that was for her. no more washing clothes in the bathtub.Thank you for being so respectful and allowing the silence.
Great video - thank you for not narrating or playing music. Just your footsteps and the sound of the birds and the insects are the ideal soundtrack. I always wonder, with places like this - I sort of understand how a house becomes impractical or un-useful to live in - but who moved out leaving the televisions, the vacuum cleaner, the couches and (for whatever reason) the gas stove on the porch? And a robe in a closet. At some point someone decided nah, this house and nothing in it is of any value or use. And left it to the elements. Fascinating.
I contemplated narration, but I think most people don't want to hear someone talk. I know I don't. I invested in a good mic and made nature the soundtrack. It adds to the realism of the tour. Thanks for watching! :)
@@secondaryhighwayI really enjoyed the fact you simply walked around and gazed, perhaps contemplated the lives and time had there. I also like to explore old homes/towns and imagine what the people and times were like.
No, that not what happens. They don’t say “nah.” They say “shit, I can’t get down/up there,” for whatever reason, health, money issues, etc. coupled with the property tax, it ends up being foreclosed, without a future buyer. Either that or someone builds a new house on another part of the property, and just lets the house go. But it’s always a tough decision. In my opinion, those types of people are the worst.
It breaks my heart to see such a great old house going to ground, I can never understand on many of these videos, why the family's don't keep up the old houses for posterity if nothing else. I mean, roofing and paint once a decade is all it would take. Heck, I wish my old man would've left me a great old house like that. I realize it's the middle of nowhere, but am I the only one who would love to live in the middle of nowhere? I know a couple of antique archeologists, who'd love that 60s chair and the corner lamp to refurbish. At 10:10, the mosquito on the window is ridiculous 😮 Love your work, great videos, brother. 🙏
I know, it’s a head scratcher until we’re put in that position. Heck I can barely get things done around my own house lol. Huge thanks for the comment and for watching! 😀
I can imagine all the entertaining cocktail parties that must have taken place there. Everyone dressed up, drinking whiskey from beautiful glasses, and telling stories. Going outside to stand on that porch at night to get fresh air and to hear the crickets.
Gosh to be surrounded by all that nature and such a welcoming feel to the home. Thank you for letting the house speak and is so nice to have a happy story be attached to a home and family, as opposed to the drama and sadness from so many abandoned beautiful structures ❤️
@@secondaryhighway I agree, not all the time, it is needed. As a music lover, I'd say, the sound of nature is already the "music" we need and it's taking us there with you.
Thanks for the tour of this farm house and the history of the family that lived here. It’s always so interesting to see what furniture and belongings that have been left behind. When you said that the crew slept in the attic I could just imagine how hot it would be in the heat of the summer. They sure had a heck of a view!
Thanks for the extensive tour. Enjoyed everything. I guess when the roof goes everything gets damaged. It sounds like a good life. And the property you can almost imagine the farming
Such a shame that something so beautiful was lost to the elements of time. Would have been a blessing to have had someone refurbish it before it was damaged by time n mother nature. 😢
Where is the loyalty and honor respect and love Acknowledgment of what their people did ? 😢 It truly breaks my heart I guess I'm really old school very old school I did everything for the parents who raised me they weren't even my birth parents but me before their own blood children get everything to carry on their name and teach by nieces and nephews all about them and to respect and honor them it just breaks me that these days nobody has those values. May they breast and peace
I really love videos like this, you know the history of the place. Whenever I see an old house like this, I can't help but wonder: who lived here and when? And for how long? These old homes have a story to tell or two, happy family times, the kids who grew up there, you know, history. I've heard that the Alberta region is quite wide open and has sparse population. I could only imagine the life they had out there. To know that they lived for so long tells a story in itself. Thanks for a great video!
Once a very beautiful happy family home. Stunning views from upstairs. So sad its now rotting away. Very nice video, love the crunching footsteps. Stay safe and thank you Sir 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
I wish someone could bring this grand lady back to her full beauty. I am very surprised there isn't one fireplace in the whole house. I loved your written notes instead of speaking that seems to take away from visual, but loved you telling us also it was a happy home. Very nice work, fully enjoyed the tour!
Yes, Thank you for allowing time for reading the text. I have always wondered how houses as beautiful as this one are abandoned and allowed to deteriorate like this one.
I’ve been getting that comment a lot. Nobody needs to hear me ramble on about things they can clearly see themselves. It takes away from the atmosphere I think. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for risking your life to show us this amazing video, love the silence. But if those walls could talk, I bet they would have had some great stories. I’m now a new subscriber ❤
Love these old houses! I bet it was grand when it was new. My wife and I stumbled upon an old home one day driving around. We were new to the area. Supposedly it belonged to the Borden Milk family and was used as a way point for cross country travel.
New subscriber here. As others have said, I like the serenity that you provide by just taking us through the house with no commentary. The light in those bedrooms was just wonderful, either by design or happy coincidence.
What a beautiful house. Such big rooms and great light. Looks like they lovingly decoraed it for the period. Although it is a mess, someone with enought money and time could still revive it. Such a waste.
I think what impressed me most about David Anderson was his ability to time travel. Being born in 1978 in Sweden and then emmigrating to Alberta in 1905 is quite the accomplishment. This home will probably be inundated with explorers looking for a flux capacitor.
What an absolutely gorgeous house. The architecture is stunning. The windows and the rounded porch are absolutely beautiful! I would've loved to have grown up in a house like this. Best house yet, hands down!
Great vid!! It's so terribly sad that this beautiful house sits in such a dismal state of disrepair. At this point, I doubt any of it can be salvaged. Once you have multiple rooms completely collapsing, there's almost no hope.
That view from the upstairs bedroom. Is beautiful. I picture the person that was staying in that bedroom woke up to the breath taking view in the morning 😊😮
New subscriber from Georgia! Thanks for your time and videos. I especially like the story behind the places/ people ❤. Interesting old history and house. I really appreciate the craftsmanship of old homes . Back in the day more effort was placed in detail in my opinion of a home. Bigger rooms as well and real wood flooring. I love the outside detail of this house/ porch.
SUCH A GORGEOUS HOME WITH GORGEOUS VIEWS!!! I wish we could have seen pics of the inside of the home when it was fully/comfortably furnished.... beautiful curtains hanging on the windows blowing in the wind.....I bet it was SO INCREDIBLY STUNNING!!💜
What a beautiful house. I was wondering what happened to the couple's son and daughter. It breaks my heart to see it the way it is now. Thanks for sharing. Blessings of love and light to all.
@secondaryhighway who owns the property now? The children? Also, how much land does it sit on? I can imagine myself sitting on the porch enjoying the view as well as the peace and quiet.
Such beauty and history, thank you. I hope the video is seen by someone who can afford it and renovate it to its former glory. Also the history of the previous owners always adds so much more meaning and feels!
I don't understand how there is no rot in this structure. It is very well built. That staircase to the attic in particular. Just beautiful. Glad they had so many happy times.
Great video, amazing house and land. Wonderful to capture it before it is gone. However, many people can't seem to get past a simple typo. Too bad that's all they can focus on.
@@secondaryhighway I'd rather a view from here,close to the earth with sharp focus than to look from say the CN Tower where a lot is left to the imagination without technological help!
This old house can be brought back if somebody had the interest. I inherited a 120 year old Queen Ann as a fifth generation family member. I gutted the horse hair plaster / strips and replaced with modern insulation and drywall room by room. Replaced and upgraded the entire electrical system. It can be done. You just need willpower and desire. I took me 12 years to replace all the horsehair plaster and replace all 32 windows in my old house. I don't know what it cost but it was way cheaper than a new house. I did all work myself so no labor cost. Im still here today after 25 years. The 5 acres this house sits on cost $13 in the late 1800's. I have the original deed wrote up in pencil!
This people must have been really peaceful and mostly happy to live in such a pease and beauty inside the house and outside. It is a little bit sad if course to see the destroying by time and nature, but even it makes me feel quiet. We all are only passengers on this earth. The things we own and built are not really ours. We have to left them at some special day. So may be I should less worry about "my things" and be more happy and grateful to live.Thank you for taking us to this trips.
Very cool video. The old TVs are in amazingly good shape despite being left in a house open to the elements. I like that you added the history and the photo of Dave. Thanks for sharing this find.
This came up in my recommended and looked interesting so I decided to check it out, then I checked out your channel. It's exactly the kind of things I love, and I hope you got more videos planned.
I know that’s ppl leave housees like this but this house is so beautiful and thank you so much for showing it and leanering the history of it thank you for showing it
I wonder what happened to Melvin and Alice and where they or their respective children (if any) might be today. Does the family still own the property, or did they sell it? It looks like it's still being farmed. That house must have been gorgeous in its day (the photos from back then were great to see). It's sad and depressing to see it in such decay. And fascinating at the same time.
I enjoyed the sounds and the history of those who lived there. It was fascinating to know where the workers slept. Beautiful home with beautiful views. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful old home. It makes me feel so sad to think how much they probably loved this home and how sad it would make them to see it slowly decaying. I know it’s remote but what a loss.
From the old console televisions and furniture. I would guess the house has not been occupied since they moved in 1973. Even a small roof leak can snowball into the conditions you see here. Hoping you let someone know where you’re at and have an agreed check-in time for your safety. Thanks for sharing!
New viewer and subscriber. Love your style to just walk us around and not state the obvious. This house is gorgeous. I have watched a lot of different abandoned building videos and have never seen one in this state: just natural decay, no signs of vandalism such as graffiti, broken glass etc. It just shows what time and the elements will do to a property. Good job and thank you!
Thanks Jean-Francois. Yes, I think most people would click away from a video if the music or narrators voice is annoying. I chose to just let nature do its things. Thanks for watching.
Hi there mate great old house in its day it a shame its in this state fall down it would have been a great house with its views in the olds mate thanks for your video work mate so be safe mate
An excellent exploration along with multiple dimensional view , a great effort while exposing the true reality, nothing belongs to somebody because one has to leave all this behind one day, even his own body, we belong to some other paradise, humans are here to spend some time, the true existence is the one we call it eternity, keep on moving, excellent work and be blessed...
It’s so mysterious and sad at the same time. Wondering what wonderful memories took place in each room of the house. I bet it was stunning at one point. The view from the attic was breathtaking. I hate that it was left to deteriorate.
Oh how your talents put me in these old houses. I feel the children running through the house. Mama cooking and the smells flow through the house. I just found your channel. Love it. So I’m doing some catching up. And you hardly say a word. You let your viewers come to the conclusions!
Thanks. Voices of certain people could immediately turn people away from videos, I know it does me. So I opted out. Nobody needs me to tell them what's going on. They can see. As far as history goes, I stick to the facts. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video tour. Also the history of this beautiful home was well done. I only wish that someone would totally remodel it. The frame work appears to be solid. I just subscribed. Thank you!
Meus parabéns ao sr desde o Brasil, fico imaginando a felicidade que este casal deve ter usufruído nesta casa, a história que esta casa tem, para mim, esta casa deveria ser tombada pelo patrimônio histórico e cultural do município, os televisores e estofados restaurados e a casa totalmente restaurada.

Some nice light fittings there which could be taken & carefully rewired.
It's a beautiful area and the house looks like it was beautiful in it's day. How long has it been vacant? It doesn't look like it's been vandalized, just mother nature and father time.
@TheKrisLite• please share some of your family history with us. 😊
Love the fact that you don't narrate. Gives the watcher a sense of wandering through themselves. Thanks for the video!

I hope I breast in peace too! 🤣
and in Los Angeles the beautiful things are lost to the heartless developers.
@@annettejones1300 🆘 he should go to that other house he just saw in the upstairs window
This house could still be restored
I really love videos like this, you know the history of the place. Whenever I see an old house like this, I can't help but wonder: who lived here and when? And for how long? These old homes have a story to tell or two, happy family times, the kids who grew up there, you know, history. I've heard that the Alberta region is quite wide open and has sparse population. I could only imagine the life they had out there. To know that they lived for so long tells a story in itself. Thanks for a great video!
Once a very beautiful happy family home. Stunning views from upstairs. So sad its now rotting away. Very nice video, love the crunching footsteps. Stay safe and thank you Sir 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Thanks Pamela!
It is wonderful that you have made this beautiful video and that so many people have gotten to enjoy watching it. 😊
Thanks for watching. 😀
In all your tour's, I can feel all the loving memories made in these home's.
I can just imagine how beautiful this house must have been when it was first built. The view from the house is very pretty as well.
I wish someone could bring this grand lady back to her full beauty. I am very surprised there isn't one fireplace in the whole house. I loved your written notes instead of speaking that seems to take away from visual, but loved you telling us also it was a happy home. Very nice work, fully enjoyed the tour!
Greatly appreciate your comment! 😀
First time viewer and new subscriber. I loved this house and really, really like your style. Knowing the history of the place is a big plus too.
Yes, Thank you for allowing time for reading the text. I have always wondered how houses as beautiful as this one are abandoned and allowed to deteriorate like this one.
What a beautiful house that must have been, it's prime.
Thank you! The attic space is my favorite. The views! Love these old houses and their layouts.
Rock solid up there. Amazing space.
😭 would be a awesome library!
Thank you for the tour and non narrated voice over.
I’ve been getting that comment a lot. Nobody needs to hear me ramble on about things they can clearly see themselves. It takes away from the atmosphere I think. Thanks for watching.
Oh my , the tv , washing machine and light fixtures brought back memories , nicely done thankyou
Hey thanks for watching. I remember some of them myself.
First time subscriber. I love your filming. You won me over. Thank you.
Hi Sydney. Thanks welcome!
Thank you for showing this beautifull house to the world. If houses could talk, they would surely tell a lot of stories..God Bless you.💗💗💗
Hey thanks for watching. Greatly appreciated! 😀
This is such a beautiful place!!!! New fan here and love abandoned places
Hey thanks! 😊
What a beautiful place. Lots of great memories there, I'm sure. I love how spacious and bright it is with all the windows.
It was the biggest in the area for its time.
Thank you for risking your life to show us this amazing video, love the silence. But if those walls could talk, I bet they would have had some great stories. I’m now a new subscriber ❤
Am I the only one that can't stop thinking about those vintage CRT televisions!? Wow!
Worth $$ I bet.
What a shame this beautiful old house is ruin’s! Cool video! 👍❤️🤘
Wow, what a lovely old washing machine. Great video 👍
Love these old houses! I bet it was grand when it was new. My wife and I stumbled upon an old home one day driving around. We were new to the area. Supposedly it belonged to the Borden Milk family and was used as a way point for cross country travel.
New subscriber here. As others have said, I like the serenity that you provide by just taking us through the house with no commentary. The light in those bedrooms was just wonderful, either by design or happy coincidence.
Thanks Annie. Welcome. Enjoy the tours!
What a beautiful house. Such big rooms and great light. Looks like they lovingly decoraed it for the period. Although it is a mess, someone with enought money and time could still revive it. Such a waste.
It’s been looked into. The cost was too great.
This home is such a beauty. The right person could restore it.
I agree! 💪
Such a shame, that beautiful old house being left to rot.
Such a beautiful view from the attic windows
I think what impressed me most about David Anderson was his ability to time travel. Being born in 1978 in Sweden and then emmigrating to Alberta in 1905 is quite the accomplishment. This home will probably be inundated with explorers looking for a flux capacitor.
I get hit almost everyday with a time travelling comment. Yes, I messed up. :)
It's a really cool video by the way. I love this kind of thing.
What an absolutely gorgeous house. The architecture is stunning. The windows and the rounded porch are absolutely beautiful! I would've loved to have grown up in a house like this. Best house yet, hands down!
Great for hide and seek.
Great vid!! It's so terribly sad that this beautiful house sits in such a dismal state of disrepair. At this point, I doubt any of it can be salvaged. Once you have multiple rooms completely collapsing, there's almost no hope.
That view from the upstairs bedroom. Is beautiful. I picture the person that was staying in that bedroom woke up to the breath taking view in the morning 😊😮
New subscriber from Georgia! Thanks for your time and videos. I especially like the story behind the places/ people ❤.
Interesting old history and house. I really appreciate the craftsmanship of old homes . Back in the day more effort was placed in detail in my opinion of a home. Bigger rooms as well and real wood flooring. I love the outside detail of this house/ porch.
SUCH A GORGEOUS HOME WITH GORGEOUS VIEWS!!! I wish we could have seen pics of the inside of the home when it was fully/comfortably furnished.... beautiful curtains hanging on the windows blowing in the wind.....I bet it was SO INCREDIBLY STUNNING!!💜
I’m sure there were/are photos hidden away in photo albums in storage of family and neighbours someplace.
What a beautiful house. I was wondering what happened to the couple's son and daughter. It breaks my heart to see it the way it is now. Thanks for sharing. Blessings of love and light to all.
They went on to have families of their own. The house was too expensive to maintain back in the day. 😀
@secondaryhighway who owns the property now? The children? Also, how much land does it sit on? I can imagine myself sitting on the porch enjoying the view as well as the peace and quiet.
Such beauty and history, thank you. I hope the video is seen by someone who can afford it and renovate it to its former glory. Also the history of the previous owners always adds so much more meaning and feels!
Thanks Jan. I agree the history makes the photos and video more appealing.
A nice House
Those old houses Are some of the best houses built
Good job On the video
Hey thanks Kenny. :)
I don't understand how there is no rot in this structure. It is very well built. That staircase to the attic in particular. Just beautiful. Glad they had so many happy times.
The back kitchen was pretty bad. Yikes.
@@secondaryhighway ah true! i forgot about that. make sure you get your tetanus shot!!!! great work by the way.
Great video, amazing house and land. Wonderful to capture it before it is gone. However, many people can't seem to get past a simple typo. Too bad that's all they can focus on.
The chair positioned by the half round window on the 3rd floor offering that view is breathtaking!
Heck ya.
@@secondaryhighway I'd rather a view from here,close to the earth with sharp focus than to look from say the CN Tower where a lot is left to the imagination without technological help!
This old house can be brought back if somebody had the interest. I inherited a 120 year old Queen Ann as a fifth generation family member. I gutted the horse hair plaster / strips and replaced with modern insulation and drywall room by room. Replaced and upgraded the entire electrical system. It can be done. You just need willpower and desire. I took me 12 years to replace all the horsehair plaster and replace all 32 windows in my old house. I don't know what it cost but it was way cheaper than a new house. I did all work myself so no labor cost. Im still here today after 25 years. The 5 acres this house sits on cost $13 in the late 1800's. I have the original deed wrote up in pencil!
Wow I’d love to see your house!
@@secondaryhighwayMe TOO!!
This people must have been really peaceful and mostly happy to live in such a pease and beauty inside the house and outside. It is a little bit sad if course to see the destroying by time and nature, but even it makes me feel quiet. We all are only passengers on this earth. The things we own and built are not really ours. We have to left them at some special day. So may be I should less worry about "my things" and be more happy and grateful to live.Thank you for taking us to this trips.
You’re welcome and thanks for your comment and for watching.
Great walk through and story!
Very cool video. The old TVs are in amazingly good shape despite being left in a house open to the elements. I like that you added the history and the photo of Dave. Thanks for sharing this find.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, just sad to see a once grand house going down hill like this. Crew bunking in attic, yes, there's room just a 1st..
This came up in my recommended and looked interesting so I decided to check it out, then I checked out your channel. It's exactly the kind of things I love, and I hope you got more videos planned.
I have about 12 filmed already. Heading out tomorrow for a few days before the snow fly's to capture a dozen more! :)
@@secondaryhighway nice, will watch all of them. Good job
Amazing .. thanks for sharing ... what a house and history.
I know that’s ppl leave housees like this but this house is so beautiful and thank you so much for showing it and leanering the history of it thank you for showing it
Thanks for watching!
It certainly was happier times back then. What a beautiful home it was.
💯
I think you're very brave to walk through, but thankyou for doing it, love watching you're videos!
Thanks for watching, Debora!
I wonder what happened to Melvin and Alice and where they or their respective children (if any) might be today. Does the family still own the property, or did they sell it? It looks like it's still being farmed. That house must have been gorgeous in its day (the photos from back then were great to see). It's sad and depressing to see it in such decay. And fascinating at the same time.
The land was sold. I've met with the grand daughter of David. She posed for a portrait outside of the house. Many great memories there.
I enjoyed the sounds and the history of those who lived there. It was fascinating to know where the workers slept. Beautiful home with beautiful views. Thanks for sharing!
@@marshavongrimmenstein3069
What a beautiful old home. It makes me feel so sad to think how much they probably loved this home and how sad it would make them to see it slowly decaying. I know it’s remote but what a loss.
It’s a sad but needed reminder in this crazy fast world.
From the old console televisions and furniture. I would guess the house has not been occupied since they moved in 1973.
Even a small roof leak can snowball into the conditions you see here.
Hoping you let someone know where you’re at and have an agreed check-in time for your safety.
Thanks for sharing!
I agree. My wife has my GPS location. She stalks me lol.
New viewer and subscriber. Love your style to just walk us around and not state the obvious. This house is gorgeous. I have watched a lot of different abandoned building videos and have never seen one in this state: just natural decay, no signs of vandalism such as graffiti, broken glass etc. It just shows what time and the elements will do to a property. Good job and thank you!
Thanks Jean-Francois. Yes, I think most people would click away from a video if the music or narrators voice is annoying. I chose to just let nature do its things. Thanks for watching.
Hi there mate great old house in its day it a shame its in this state fall down it would have been a great house with its views in the olds mate thanks for your video work mate so be safe mate
An excellent exploration along with multiple dimensional view , a great effort while exposing the true reality, nothing belongs to somebody because one has to leave all this behind one day, even his own body, we belong to some other paradise, humans are here to spend some time, the true existence is the one we call it eternity, keep on moving, excellent work and be blessed...
Wonderful comment. Thanks for watching.
Nice tour- thank you
Thanks for watching!!
It’s so mysterious and sad at the same time. Wondering what wonderful memories took place in each room of the house. I bet it was stunning at one point. The view from the attic was breathtaking. I hate that it was left to deteriorate.
Yes it’s a shame but it happens. We just have to be thankful for the history.
Wow three windows in one bedroom ❤
Oh how your talents put me in these old houses. I feel the children running through the house. Mama cooking and the smells flow through the house. I just found your channel. Love it. So I’m doing some catching up. And you hardly say a word. You let your viewers come to the conclusions!
Hi Sharon. Thanks for catching up! I appreciate it and welcome.
thanks for showing view from top windows.....some dont......
That’s the best part!
Never Seven such an interesting video. Thank you ❤
You are most welcome! 😀and thanks for watching!
Wow the Staircase❤
l love all your videos and appreciate no chit chat 😅 all these homes are beautiful thank you
Thanks. Voices of certain people could immediately turn people away from videos, I know it does me. So I opted out. Nobody needs me to tell them what's going on. They can see. As far as history goes, I stick to the facts. Thanks for watching.
terribly sad. good video
Awesome video tour. Also the history of this beautiful home was well done. I only wish that someone would totally remodel it. The frame work appears to be solid.
I just subscribed.
Thank you!
Big thanks for watching and welcome!
Meus parabéns ao sr desde o Brasil, fico imaginando a felicidade que este casal deve ter usufruído nesta casa, a história que esta casa tem, para mim, esta casa deveria ser tombada pelo patrimônio histórico e cultural do município, os televisores e estofados restaurados e a casa totalmente restaurada.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing, this must have been a grand house in it's day. I appreciated the silence during the film. 👌 Stay safe, those floors looked wickedly dangerous. ❤
Hey thanks for watching. Yes, I think people are there for the tour not to hear me blab lol.
