That bunker, as you call it, is a root cellar. This is what they used for a refrigerator in those days. My grandmother had one. Her house was built in 1890.
l think all farmhouses of that era had root cellars, and yes, they do resemble a bunker. Families kept barrels of apples potatoes, turnips etc. That was a very 'deluxe' version, as most were not that well built
One way you can tell it is a root cellar is the air vent in the door -- to let fresh air flow. Also, it is a wooden door. Not meant for keeping out a blast or looters.
That is so sad that after the husband and wife died, the son just abandoned the house and just left his fathers legacy to rot away. He could have sold it or even gave it to someone, to enjoy and take care of it. It was built by his father with his own two hands! Very sad. Thanks Steve!
Even to give the painting to the masonic lodge in his town/city. I'm sure they could've hung it somewhere it would've been cherished and at least taken care of. So sad.
I chuckled at your speculation about many of the items. One of the “record players” was actually a tape deck. It was a reel to reel version used to record audio of meetings or dictation of letters in business for a secretary to transcribe. The glove forms were used to keep leather or fine cotton gloves shaped properly between wearing. Ladies in the USA had sewing machines in their homes as a routine matter. I finished high school in 1972. During sophomore, junior and senior years girls were required to take electives in sewing, cooking and childcare. My Mom made all my clothes until I left home at 19. Everyone family I knew personally had a sewing machine. Sorry to ramble on. It is so interesting to see items I grew up with not understood. This is both fascinating and sad.
@@TXplayneJayne whatever monsignor......lol I personally would move into that house in a new york min! Would love to catalog and preserve all those wonderful artifacts! Imagine the garden that could be had and the root cellar filled! ah....to day dream in my little rented room in the city.
All the explores, you all are aware that if these devices truly work then only demons presents these will show. For no human Spirit stays "ghosting" on earth realms. After death: Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Meaning: Saved souls shall go into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM and unsaved into hell, for these 2 are holding places for the departed human SPIRITS. Only ones who “ghost” in this realm without body is the evil spirits: Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
My grandfather was a freemason, I have heard they were not good men , my grandfather never did anything wrong in my eyes. He ran the lodge were we are from , he seemed to know everyone, vice versa, I always thought it was because he owned so many businesses and I am sure that was a huge part of it .., he had a house like this or similar to this on a lake in Michigan..any how this brought a lot of memories to this old lady 😌 thank you 💗
Both my dad and grandad were freemasons and my grandad was master of the lodge, it was like everyone that went there were like family, our lodge was full of good hearted people. I can definitely agree with you daughter
Your grandfather may have been a good man, but freemasonry is part of the occult. Masons don't learn about who they're really worshipping until they reach 33rd degree.
My grandfather was a Freemason also …. Well known in the community owned business and rental property … opened the first black owned credit union in the city we are from …also a very good man. Being a freemason os what allowed him to do those things back in the day . I remember asking him questions about it and he said he was not at liberty to discuss it. My mother and grandmother both said he figured out a way to leave the Freemasons because he wasnt comfortable with the stuff that carried on
I live in upstate New York Adirondack mountains! Just found your channel and liked the fact you guys treated it with gentle respect. You don’t see that too often anymore. So sad to see such a beautiful home just thrown away. Like you said, this veteran built that home with love.
Steve, you are this ol' lady's absolute favorite of "the explorers"! I love that you're learning more and more about style and history, and are including this in your videos. I was a big fan of your European tours, but then, I am a big fan of the British Isles and Europe in general. You are such a sweetheart and wonderfully respectful person. I think the key to increasing your views is to learn a lot more about historical time frames and more about items and other things like careers and activities from those periods. When you come across something, you will be able to tell your viewers more about it. Most of the other adventurers don't have a clue about what they're talking about, in terms of architecture, style, remodeling, history, or building. It's silly and cringeworthy when they try to come up with words for what they don't know. A couple of examples: talk more about the women who lived there. In this video, it's very possible that the sewing room used by the wife was something that she did as a gig. It was an at-home career for talented women, making clothes for other people, called a Seamstress. I would have loved to see all of the vintage sewing paraphernalia that was in that room. You're obviously a sensitive, creative soul and people like that about you. Lean into that. Be the one who knows something. Be the one who can teach your generation about the past-- before examples of it are gone --- just like the demolition of these old estates. It's great when you use words to convey your thoughts and 🥰feelings, such as "it's like the vines are trying to get inside". I also loved your chat with your audience. Thanks for what you do and who you are.
Watching from the Big Island of Hawaii! I would love to have this home, to bring back the love, which it was originally built. I assume the children are in their senior years. They probably have forgotten this home. I think you young people should try and contact them. To see if they are willing to sell it to you. The bank probably won't give a loan because of the condition of the property, but you never know. Maybe the people who own the property, would carry a loan for you. So you young men need to contact them. Imagine purchasing the home, and finding the history it holds. This history within could possibly bring revenue to help pay your mortgage.
anything is possible. If the son really did fall in love and went off to travel the world the homestead life just may not have appealed to him. Not everyone one is nostalgic putting high value on history.
@Melissa Blueswoman Hensley You're right, "anything is possible," however, there is more to this story. Even if the son did'nt want to live in the country, or ,want the house...you sell it..that is why there are realtors! Abandonment, of EVERYTHING, means you don't want ANYTHING...AT ALL...and that says a lot!
I love your videos, there’s a kindness and sincerity when you speak about the places you are exploring. It brings me back to when I was a kid and me and my dad would go and look at homes. ❤
Haven't watched the video yet but I always wonder what bank entity is associated with the property? How could an obviously valuable piece of real-estate be left to languish into ruin? Even if it went for sheriff sale or something, anything. Heck, the antiques alone would bring in a pretty penny. Everything from the bottles and glassware to the empty tins all the retro electronics the old rotary phones. Just so much nostalgic items. Amazing. From PA, USA
I believe they are not American and things work differently in eastern countries. There’s tons of abandoned properties and they are also much more relaxed about you exploring that kind of stuff.
Watching from Vero Beach, Florida. I've been following you for several years. Old houses are just beautiful. And the treasures that are left behind are exciting and tragic. Keep going your fantastic
You're funny, Steve!🤣 "I don't really need a hotel for the night, just sleep right in there!" I enjoyed this lovely abandoned home. It has some beautiful things left behind. Thank 😊 you!
2:13 We used to call those things root cellars, for the storage of thing like carrots and potatoes. It could also function as a storm shelter, if needed.
The item at 13:51 it a reel to reel tape recorder. I had those scarves you found at 21:34 back in the 1960's. He did a fantastic job in building a very sturdy house. It's nice to have you back in North America. Loved watching from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Wooooow!!! It is truly a beautiful home. I just see sooo much potential!!! And that tiny bridge. Shall I cry now or later?! Thank you for uploading so consistently again! So much work is put into a video.
I am an Australian woman, a grandma and love your work wherever you are filming! That old home should have been sold by the son if he didn't want to live there. It would have been amazing to see back in the day! However l really like the look of the vines growing up random walls, gives it an almost fairytale vibe from the exterior. 🦘😁😟😊
Hi Steve, I really enjoyed this video, I'm from Maryland. The item you thought was a record player is actually a reel to reel tape recorder, I wonder what was on the tape that was left on the one reel. I love all your videos and it was nice to have you sit down and bring us up to date on you. Take care.
Wow! You weren't kidding! This explore was AMAZING!! The inside was beyond!!! The house itself is still beautiful! It wld be so amazing to buy a place like this and bring it back...maybe donate the items inside to a museum or find family members to return things to. Thank you for sharing this super time capsule! I really just ❤ it!
Wow I'm shocked a house can be left like that with so much stuff in it. Feels kinda sad, like a relic of a family's life now no longer here. Must be quite creepy walking around them.
Hey Steve,this is Kelly Marie again. I have enjoyed ALL your content! From urbexing to haunted...please, just be you,and what you enjoy. That's why I love watching you ❤️. Hopefully you have the wrong idea about filming in Europe, because I dug the opportunities give me from you. It's like a mini vacation from my home everytime you post a vid! I have watched vids from different perspectives of the same locations(like whenever you Josh,Seth,and Dan)go through Europe together and still get different types of situations and results in the same places. Thanks ,and I appreciate you for always brightening my days!
Great video!...As always - It's a shame the house wasn't sold so that someone else ould continue to make it a home instead of it going to waste & deteriorating... 😐
Loved your presentation. Humanizing the former residents, bringing their story to life and the history of the home. Filling in on your travel was another appreciated plus.
What a excellent home! I hope it gets rescued. That was one of the best I’ve seen in America. No one has trashed any of it, truly amazing. The bunker is curious, seems too far from the house to be a wine or root cellar. It probably was intended to be a shelter/bunker for some reason. I love this place! Thanx Steve! 💖🇺🇸😁
I just love all the places you explore and share with us. I feel like next to you each and every time I watch your videos Steve. Thank you for another great adventure I am watching from Salem Oregon
I like hearing about what you're doing, how you are. I also enjoyed the European collection. There were SO many amazing places you shared! I also admire how respectful you treat the places you visit. So many people don't. Looking forward to the next adventure! Take care & stay safe😎
I'm from LasVegas Nv 🤑👻💚NO KIDDING STEVE YOU ARE THE FIRST CHANELLE I EVER SUBSCRIBED TO, EVER! STILL MY TOP FIVE FAVE! AS WELL AS Josh and Dan! Love ya forever 💕 Love, Kelly Marie Collins 😁🥰💚👻😊☺️😜💕
Always love your videos. Remember when you explore with other urbex there will be more than one video from the place. For instance I follow about 15 explorers that have traveled together in many combinations of people. I personally love the Europe trips better but it may take me some time as it does you guys in uploading to watch all the videos. A perfect example that you weren’t a part of was the Paris catacombs. Each explorer posted. That was, I think, four videos from that one explore. That is just my theory. Keep what your doing. You are great at it. Take care and hey to Josh. From NC🇺🇸
I took a break from your abandoned videos. It can be sad some times. I love how you film them and your drone shots are amazing. A long time viewer from the exploring crew days.
One thing about some of these old places is if there are vines anywhere near the structure, they (the vines) grow and attach themselves to the exterior, continuing to grow and eventually make its way through any hole or crevice into the house, which eventually ruins the structure. I see it in almost every abandoned building video.
So sad that the children left behind so much history about their father's military time, along with the documentation that will be lost in time. History is so important as we get older. Ancestry will be lost with in time. Thanks for sharing.
I love for you to chit chat with us and be real. I love to see your travel videos in different countries. But I honestly think the states videos are amazing to the US followers. Especially the "haunted" videos. I don't guess necessarily haunted but people like to hear the history of what you're exploring. That's just my take anyway. I may be totally off....but that's what I feel brings others in. I can't wait until you hit 1M! I'll jump up and down for you! I love your content and have followed you for a long time now. I wish nothing but the best for you! Good Luck!
I love the locations you choose. Keep it up. BTW I was able to catch the date on The Times Herald under the radio shack magazine at 18:49: Weekend February 27 - March 1, 1987.
Those reel to reel machines are rare. I love seeing vintage items, but it drives me crazy knowing that they are just sitting there wasting away to dust. I know I wouldn't take things, because it isn't mine and to leave for other explorer's to enjoy. I'm torn between that it's sits there wasting away when it could be passed on to others. That would make me feel a little better knowing that these people's items we're being passed on to others to cherish.
It was interesting to hear the story and amazing the electricity is still on. The bedroom set was beautiful complete bed, vanity with mirror, chair , armoire. Thank you for showing it.
Love this home It is so beautiful. You are so good at documenting and exploring these videos. This home is so interesting. It was built in 1931, which is on the outside of the home. Great video. Yes I love it when you update us about yourself. You are very talented and kind. Thank you
Hey Steve, I am so glad you are going to be doing VIDs from the states. I kind of stopped watching for awhile because you were abroad . I love your honesty and your commitment and will certainly will be watching. Your descriptions of time capsules and respect is well earned. Welcome back >>> well done!!🙏
congratulations! Steve, you work very hard to take care of yourself! What you explore pleases our soul because you always have new interesting places to watch!God bless you!
I live in Orange County, New York and really enjoyed this video of the abandoned Illuminati home. New to your channel I immediately subscribed! Keep sharing
You're such an old soul. I love that about you. My biggest worries are this: Snakes Homeless dangerous encounters You breathing black mold Falling through the floors!!! Please be careful!!!!! I love watching you. I love connecting w you times. Please do more. You're young enough to be my son, but I love your heart and I so enjoy the way you go in and don't really disturb the house but yet you show who the person was. There are lots of other people who do these types of videos who are not as careful. I think it's a wise idea to do a lot of homes from the USA with a few from overseas interspersed. Best of luck to you Steve.
Watching from South Texas and those built on kitchen cabinets are amazing…next time pick up the phone for a dial tone…curious if it still works same as the power. So sad to see it left abandoned.
The cedar-lined closets upstairs are a luxury. It's done to prevent moths & other insects damaging fabric. Very expensive. I really enjoyed the update at the end. You are the BEST urbex on YT. Stay safe & healthy💝
It looks like the large portrait was brought into that room to be staged. Also I can’t imagine why you thought the woman sewed the blanket?? Lol It didn’t exactly look like it was from the 40s? How can the lightbulb have been on for a very long time? Wouldn’t it have burned out? Your killing me in this one!
I started with you video on Harding High School being from CT. You guys do a great job going through these place recording the history of as they were. Video historians you are. Keep up the great work. Subbed.
South African living in Vietnam getting to watch this video....what a great creator Steve Ronin:) good to share this story and you have the ability to do it so well. keep it up broooooooooo!
Really nice touring the house with you steve. I enjoy watching your videos of history thank you. Keek it coming and Stay safe exploring.✌🏼❤🙂 God Bless!
Hi from NZ, so sad that it was left to rot away like this when the father put so much time into building it for his family, I wonder why the son didn't sell the house
Melba Idaho. Its a small town on the south west part of idaho. Really nice story but sad at the same time. I cant see myself abandoning my fathers home nor his belongings after he's passed away.
Love ur work Steve🤌 m watching from India🇮🇳 Sometimes I used to think how they can abandoned these houses.... ☹️ N here we are struggling to make a one tiny house for ourselves....😔
Kids don't always want to keep all the things left by parents and want to move on and have their own life, why would you want all that stuff and how would you move it all when you leave
I like seeing abandoned places around the world but then I like the architectural aspect of buildings. Its nice to see stuff closer to home though but also frustrating because many people watching would probably like to try to save some of these places.
I live in a pocket area now due to changes in roads. Its four streets wide .ten blocks long. Aprox 800 home and some business. Developers are buying home owners out just for the property as they are trying turn this area over into crammed in town houses.
Root cellar. It's a place to keep food cool and dry. Also a prepper type thing. The guy probably has coins buried in the yard in case of invaders or robbers so he has something they can't find and he can get latter if he were robbed.
Shout out from Indiana! I basically love all of your videos! The foreign ones have much better architecture, woodwork & antiques. But the US ones are just as interesting. I also love the little chats to keep us updated. I wouldn’t change a thing. 😊
Hey Steve, there might be a reason the son just left the place to rot:/. Many children of high ranking Masons had very troubled lives! It’s not what most people think. I’ve read lots of these stories lately. That “bunker” out back could have been used for nefarious things!
Very interesting home , not sure I like the design how it built, it’s got to many little rooms and narrow hallways specially the staircase is so narrow, my first time to see a house with a door at the bottom of the staircase, the house is built a lot like European style, although sad to see it got abandoned, the memories and everything got left behind, thank you for sharing.
Loved this house! Great job Steve! And I love when you explore places in America the best. Foreign countries are ok but places in America are more interesting.
Do me a massive favor Ronin's and share and like the video :) thanks for watching!!! Let's get this video yo over 5000 thumbs up!
That is a time capsule you have interesting videos that are amazing thanks for sharing them with your followers I am watch you from Redding California
The TH-cam didn't notify me 😭
That’s my mums house
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Hi steve pa shout watching from philippines ♥
That bunker, as you call it, is a root cellar. This is what they used for a refrigerator in those days. My grandmother had one. Her house was built in 1890.
NICEEE...DO YOU GUYS STILL OWN THAT HOUSE??? ❤️
The wife probably belonged to Eastern Star and sewed a lot of dresses to wear at Masonic functions.she might have sewn as part of charity work.
l think all farmhouses of that era had root cellars, and yes, they do resemble a bunker. Families kept barrels of apples potatoes, turnips etc. That was a very 'deluxe' version, as most were not that well built
One way you can tell it is a root cellar is the air vent in the door -- to let fresh air flow. Also, it is a wooden door. Not meant for keeping out a blast or looters.
Came here to say the same thing. Also Masons would do there hazing in places like that back then.
That is so sad that after the husband and wife died, the son just abandoned the house and just left his fathers legacy to rot away. He could have sold it or even gave it to someone, to enjoy and take care of it. It was built by his father with his own two hands! Very sad. Thanks Steve!
The son probably had good reason. You do know what a freemason is don't you?
Maybe you wasn't proud of his dad's Legacy
@@emptyb7 no, what is a freeMason? Plse explain. Thank you😊 .
Even to give the painting to the masonic lodge in his town/city. I'm sure they could've hung it somewhere it would've been cherished and at least taken care of. So sad.
@@salgaltrixie8265 yes I do and you have it all wrong.

Yeah that dude's voice is probably on that
I feel that
I still have my sewing machine 😊😊
That house of FULL of priceless antique furniture and war relics
I hope the children can see it so they know how much it meant to their late father. Thank you Steve for another great content! more to come 🔥🔥💗👍
My pleasure!
I hope someone saves this house. It’s sad to see such a beautiful home he built for generations of families to live in go to waste
living in this house would be completely impossible due t othe fact that it is cursed

Hi from Scotland a priceless collection of amazing stuff and memories
It amazes me how the power is still on in locations that have been abandoned for years..love the vids, keep up the awesome finds…❤ from an OG

Thank you for uploading so consistently again! So much work is put into a video.
Thanks for showing. I love seeing the furniture. Happy for your passion of exploring. Had my daughter in 1992. Watching from South Carolina here.

Thanks ,and I appreciate you for always brightening my days!
Great video!...As always - It's a shame the house wasn't sold so that someone else ould continue to make it a home instead of it going to waste & deteriorating... 😐
I have enjoyed this video thanks for taking me on this tour with you.
Also I like the sit down and talk to the audience moments
Loved your presentation. Humanizing the former residents, bringing their story to life and the history of the home.
Filling in on your travel was another appreciated plus.
Thank you so much!

What a excellent home! I hope it gets rescued. That was one of the best I’ve seen in America. No one has trashed any of it, truly amazing. The bunker is curious, seems too far from the house to be a wine or root cellar. It probably was intended to be a shelter/bunker for some reason. I love this place! Thanx Steve! 💖🇺🇸😁
I just love all the places you explore and share with us.
I feel like next to you each and every time I watch your videos Steve.
Thank you for another great adventure
I am watching from Salem Oregon
Wow, thank you
ha!! same here Salem Oregon
I like hearing about what you're doing, how you are. I also enjoyed the European collection. There were SO many amazing places you shared! I also admire how respectful you treat the places you visit. So many people don't. Looking forward to the next adventure! Take care & stay safe😎
Thank you! Will do!
Watching from the great state of TN. Enjoyed the video, thanks for having this old woman along.
Thanks! Awesome explorations. Really enjoy the channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Someone should move the slides out of the sunlight and put them back in the box, so light doesn't hit them and doesn't make the pics disappear.
I'm from LasVegas Nv 🤑👻💚NO KIDDING STEVE YOU ARE THE FIRST CHANELLE I EVER SUBSCRIBED TO, EVER! STILL MY TOP FIVE FAVE! AS WELL AS Josh and Dan! Love ya forever 💕 Love, Kelly Marie Collins 😁🥰💚👻😊☺️😜💕
Always love your videos. Remember when you explore with other urbex there will be more than one video from the place. For instance I follow about 15 explorers that have traveled together in many combinations of people. I personally love the Europe trips better but it may take me some time as it does you guys in uploading to watch all the videos. A perfect example that you weren’t a part of was the Paris catacombs. Each explorer posted. That was, I think, four videos from that one explore. That is just my theory. Keep what your doing. You are great at it. Take care and hey to Josh. From NC🇺🇸
Keep doing what you do. Your perspective and energy are why your content gets consumed. You don't have to modify that for anyone. You rock, Steve. 🤘
Thank you, I will
I took a break from your abandoned videos. It can be sad some times. I love how you film them and your drone shots are amazing. A long time viewer from the exploring crew days.
Welcome back!
Just found your channel really enjoyed this, being 62 I really got some flash backs over some of items thank you !
Awesome! Thank you!
One thing about some of these old places is if there are vines anywhere near the structure, they (the vines) grow and attach themselves to the exterior, continuing to grow and eventually make its way through any hole or crevice into the house, which eventually ruins the structure. I see it in almost every abandoned building video.
So sad that the children left behind so much history about their father's military time, along with the documentation that will be lost in time. History is so important as we get older. Ancestry will be lost with in time. Thanks for sharing.
I love for you to chit chat with us and be real. I love to see your travel videos in different countries. But I honestly think the states videos are amazing to the US followers. Especially the "haunted" videos. I don't guess necessarily haunted but people like to hear the history of what you're exploring. That's just my take anyway. I may be totally off....but that's what I feel brings others in. I can't wait until you hit 1M! I'll jump up and down for you! I love your content and have followed you for a long time now. I wish nothing but the best for you! Good Luck!
I love the locations you choose. Keep it up. BTW I was able to catch the date on The Times Herald under the radio shack magazine at 18:49: Weekend February 27 - March 1, 1987.
That is awesome!
Those reel to reel machines are rare. I love seeing vintage items, but it drives me crazy knowing that they are just sitting there wasting away to dust. I know I wouldn't take things, because it isn't mine and to leave for other explorer's to enjoy. I'm torn between that it's sits there wasting away when it could be passed on to others. That would make me feel a little better knowing that these people's items we're being passed on to others to cherish.
It was interesting to hear the story and amazing the electricity is still on. The bedroom set was beautiful complete bed, vanity with mirror, chair , armoire. Thank you for showing it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid as always... Thanks for exploring for those of us who can not anymore...😁🙏😁🙏😁🙏
Thank you Steve.yey Steve and josh together again. Watching from 🇬🇧
Love this home
It is so beautiful. You are so good at documenting and exploring these videos. This home is so interesting. It was built in 1931, which is on the outside of the home. Great video. Yes I love it when you update us about yourself. You are very talented and kind. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Hey Steve, I am so glad you are going to be doing VIDs from the states. I kind of stopped watching for awhile because you were abroad . I love your honesty and your commitment and will certainly will be watching. Your descriptions of time capsules and respect is well earned. Welcome back >>> well done!!🙏
Welcome back!
congratulations! Steve, you work very hard to take care of yourself! What you explore pleases our soul because you always have new interesting places to watch!God bless you!
Well said!
I live in Orange County, New York and really enjoyed this video of the abandoned Illuminati home. New to your channel I immediately subscribed! Keep sharing
That house is in good shape it was built in 1931, and a good job building it.Sad that the owners passed away.Thanks, for the video from Morrow Ga.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@SteveRonin your welcome,you do great videos
Lovely home. From New Zealand
New to your channel,,loving it totally diggin the vibes you put out!!!
Watching from crazy NJ. This is so sad that the son left this all behind. Terrible way to honor the family legacy.
I’m watching from Clarksville, AR. Love your videos!
You're such an old soul. I love that about you. My biggest worries are this:
Snakes
Homeless dangerous encounters
You breathing black mold
Falling through the floors!!!
Please be careful!!!!!
I love watching you.
I love connecting w you times. Please do more. You're young enough to be my son, but I love your heart and I so enjoy the way you go in and don't really disturb the house but yet you show who the person was. There are lots of other people who do these types of videos who are not as careful. I think it's a wise idea to do a lot of homes from the USA with a few from overseas interspersed. Best of luck to you Steve.
Watching from South Texas and those built on kitchen cabinets are amazing…next time pick up the phone for a dial tone…curious if it still works same as the power. So sad to see it left abandoned.
The cedar-lined closets upstairs are a luxury. It's done to prevent moths & other insects damaging fabric. Very expensive. I really enjoyed the update at the end. You are the BEST urbex on YT. Stay safe & healthy💝
It looks like the large portrait was brought into that room to be staged. Also I can’t imagine why you thought the woman sewed the blanket?? Lol It didn’t exactly look like it was from the 40s? How can the lightbulb have been on for a very long time? Wouldn’t it have burned out? Your killing me in this one!
Watching from Apopka Florida! I also watch your buddies Josh and Dave. Much love and respect
I'd love to be able to refurbish a home like that. The bunker was a cool find.
I started with you video on Harding High School being from CT. You guys do a great job going through these place recording the history of as they were. Video historians you are. Keep up the great work. Subbed.
The dollhouse in the basement is from the 1950s. I have that same one, it was my mother's.
South African living in Vietnam getting to watch this video....what a great creator Steve Ronin:) good to share this story and you have the ability to do it so well. keep it up broooooooooo!
So cool!
Hi Steve, I'm watching your videos from Texas. Keep up exploring great places 👍
Glad you like them!
Texas here also. I’m a regular here 😁 love watching Steve’s explorations 👍🏼👍🏼
South Texas here tho! Lol. Hello everyone, hi there Steve. Great exploring tho such a beautiful house I wish I could own it.
Really nice touring the house with you steve. I enjoy watching your videos of history thank you.
Keek it coming and Stay safe exploring.✌🏼❤🙂
God Bless!
Hi from NZ, so sad that it was left to rot away like this when the father put so much time into building it for his family, I wonder why the son didn't sell the house
Melba Idaho. Its a small town on the south west part of idaho. Really nice story but sad at the same time. I cant see myself abandoning my fathers home nor his belongings after he's passed away.
Love ur work Steve🤌 m watching from India🇮🇳
Sometimes I used to think how they can abandoned these houses.... ☹️
N here we are struggling to make a one tiny house for ourselves....😔
Thanks so much again Steve from Florida. Awesome as always!
Thanks again!
What a shame the kids let their family home abandoned…
Kids don't always want to keep all the things left by parents and want to move on and have their own life, why would you want all that stuff and how would you move it all when you leave
This was my era 60s. I recognise every thing i see. This is so great. Thankyou so much
I like seeing abandoned places around the world but then I like the architectural aspect of buildings. Its nice to see stuff closer to home though but also frustrating because many people watching would probably like to try to save some of these places.
So many historical homes are bought up by developers for land. Homes demolished and subdivision
Or town houses crammed on the land.
@@ethelchapman6780 yep..... especially here in Oregon it's horrible
I live in a pocket area now due to changes in roads. Its four streets wide .ten blocks long. Aprox 800 home and some business. Developers are buying home owners out just for the property as they are trying turn this area over into crammed in town houses.
I love it thanks Steve great exploration ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Root cellar. It's a place to keep food cool and dry. Also a prepper type thing. The guy probably has coins buried in the yard in case of invaders or robbers so he has something they can't find and he can get latter if he were robbed.
Watching from the Netherlands. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Shout out from Indiana! I basically love all of your videos! The foreign ones have much better architecture, woodwork & antiques. But the US ones are just as interesting. I also love the little chats to keep us updated. I wouldn’t change a thing. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Steve, there might be a reason the son just left the place to rot:/. Many children of high ranking Masons had very troubled lives! It’s not what most people think. I’ve read lots of these stories lately. That “bunker” out back could have been used for nefarious things!
Good point
This is absolutely not true
Very much so. The higher up the ranks of Freemasonry the darker it gets. Their lives aren’t what people think.
RUBBISH!!!
I was hoping someone mentioned that
Absolutely great.. very interesting ❤. A beautiful find… thank you 🙏🏻
Very interesting home , not sure I like the design how it built, it’s got to many little rooms and narrow hallways specially the staircase is so narrow, my first time to see a house with a door at the bottom of the staircase, the house is built a lot like European style, although sad to see it got abandoned, the memories and everything got left behind, thank you for sharing.
I totally agree!
Love the editing and focus you put into the house,awesome video like always never fails
I appreciate that!
Loved this house! Great job Steve! And I love when you explore places in America the best. Foreign countries are ok but places in America are more interesting.
Thanks for another amazing explore. Shout out from New Jersey 👋
Glad you enjoyed it
You found a root cellar.
Thanks for a great video what a beautiful house
Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿
How would a house abandoned for so long still have power?
Power is free for some no meter
Love the little sit down, also, loving the European videos a lot as i’m from the UK. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks, will do!
Maybe the bunker could be used for safety from tornadoes
Or from war, hiding spot. Hi from Newark, NY USA.
Bunker could be used to hide missing children too.
