I love how so many of your videos open up with the sounds of birds chirping. My mind wanders back to a happy and prosperous time, when people lived there and the homes were full of life. I can imagine people sitting outside, family parties, drinking iced tea late in the evening while listening to the radio or family holidays around the table! Thank you for preserving these once grand ladies and giving them a last dance! ❤
Kappy, don't ever allow it to be said that you're not one of the bravest individuals in the world after witnessing you climbing the rickety old ladder leading up into the attic. You definitely give 100% of your efforts to get the very best videos and the stories behind them. Thanks very much my friend for sharing these videos with us.
I hope for every neglected property shown on this channel there are 10 of them from the 19th and early 20th centuries being saved and loved. I also love the antiques in these homes if these structures can’t be saved, hopefully some of the contents will!
Agree with architectural salvage and furniture salvage. Most of these homes are in undesirable locations or too far gone to save. I don’t think people realize how expensive it is to live in much less save and remodel these homes. My grandmothers home from 1880 was burned down by the fire department. We let them use it for practice burn which they were really greatful for. After we made $50,000 worth of safety modifications for them to torch the place. Just imagine how much to bring it up to code!
I have the exact same blue suitcase from my childhood - my grandmother bought it for me as a gift. I felt sooo sophisticated the very few times I packed it to spend an overnight somewhere. Now I use it to store my wedding dress from 40 years ago. Thank you for the video and the walk down memory lane!
Beautiful house! But for some reason it makes me feel sad. Could be because it has things in it that remind me of my childhood and family long gone. Wallpapers are beautiful! I knew you’d open that freezer and your reaction was just what it should’ve been! Old freezers are never good to open but we do it anyway…just in case! From the outside it has an Andrew Wyeth vibe which I loved! Stay safe, and hi to Ruby!
I believe if the foundation of an old house is in good shape it will last another hundred years so please I thank you for fixing up old buildings like the old convent building thanks for doing that and the house in Virginia fix that too don't tear it down
Wow it’s cool that old trunk still has the insert inside, I have a trunk exactly like that in my living room , i refinished it and use it for a table ! Wow what a cool place!
I have one that belonged to my great grandparents. They brought it from Switzerland when they immigrated here in 1890. Then my grandma had it, then my mom and now me. Inside is exactly the same but the top is domed. You can tell it was handmade.
Love the wood doors, door knobs, fireplace, and staircase. Saddens me that the old homes are in such horrible shape. I can imagine a family thriving there, once upon a time…
Can u imagine what this looked like new? My favorite house type, country farmhouse. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t beautiful, never. Love your channel so keep up the good wk, you’re appreciated!!!!
Great house. I love the ones with big rooms and lots of windows. Not in the best condition but definitely not the worst, either. Barn swallows instead of turkey vultures, that's a plus for you. Thanks, Kappy
I can't believe that no one related to the last people who lived there before, and loved that house, never valued it enough to keep it up, and keep it beautiful. I don't understand how they could just let it fall into ruin ☹️ very sad. I don't even know the family and I want to take care of it. 😊
Wow! The woodwork & the old original wall paper patches are beautiful!! What a find!! And what a neat location/views ! That wrap around porch must have been grand in it’s day!
Dude, I sit here and talk to you and answer your comments constantly as if I'm with you lol. I love that you check the pianos!!! I would love to find someone who would go with me and explore the way you and Ruby do. Hi to her for me.
Agree *amazing* views from every window. The attic view of the roof structure shows how well built that is - solid like a rock. Just want to get in there and sweep out all the debris, leaving the countryside breeze to blow through 😊😉 Thank you for another adventure 👍💯
That is a very fascinating old place. Thank you for giving us a tour! There is so many photo opportunities in there!😅 That piece of furniture you thought some sort of hospital bed is actually a chaise lounge meant for relaxing on the porch. I would love to have one! Wonderful to see the old bedroom outfit upstairs, but sad to see no one wanted it.
The mortise lock and handles on that front door must have been nice. Yup. Corinthian and egg and dart along the top. You can still see how beautiful she was.
Kappy, thanks again for the wonderful visit to this once beautiful home. But there's a lot of us Moms that worry about your safety. Don't push the envelope too far! I would have been so fast GONE with the snake skin! Take care from Tennessee
I would have LOVED to see this house back in the day! I like how it looks and feels. It gives off good vibes. Would have loved to live here. Thanks for showing it to us!
omgggggggg kapppy yer killin me man with these awesomeeee abandonded old houses i loved this house it was gorgeous i love old history pics of people i would of taken that pic and add it to my old vintage collections of old 18 hundreds pictures amazing budddy keeep on keepin on my grateful dead budddy rock on
You always do an awesome job. Looking at these old rooms and at the kitchen. I can almost hear the children laughing and running up and down the stairs back in the day or smelling the food cooking in the kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing.
Stunning house!! So Sad it’s beyond restoring 😢 Thanks Kappy, it was a beautiful in it’s day with the lovely wallpaper & lots of windows showing the view of the countryside 🌹🌸 ❤️the Layout 🌻
What an old beauty! Beautiful details with the hand carved newl post and the ornate door knobs. It would take alot of money to restore that gorgeous old house! I bet the wrap around porch was great! Thanks Kappy!
I once had an offer to have an old house from the 1860's for free here in Florida but they said I had to tear it down so I accepted the offer and used a lot of the beautiful old pine wood and beams plus cypress paneling in another old house I bought that used to be an old slave quarters that was a log cabin at one time. Also a beautiful mirrored mantle from the 1920's was in that old house. I still live here to this day.
Hi Kappy! Love, love, love to look at these old places with you. Have loved old and/or abandoned houses since I was a child and the interest never left - so thank you. Found out this week there is an Antique Doorknob Collectors of America! I too a look at their site - way too cool! Say hello to Ruby!
You are not alone in your interest in old and abandoned houses. Sometimes on shows like "Home Town," I prefer how the big old houses look before they fix them up. I'm an old soul I guess.
You found a real treasure Kappy!! Aside from the contempory junk laying around, the true beauty of this wonderful old house is awesome! The hardware, pocket doors,etc.,just picturing it all when new, just imagine! Thanks for showing this walk thru history, sad to think it will one day be just a memory.
Another beautiful home Kappy! The woodwork is amazing. It’s sad to see old photos left behind, it seems they’re leaving family behind. Thanks Kappy! You never disappoint us. 😊
What a beautiful house that was. Kudos to the builder and whoever did that roof last. The house looks worse outside, was quite surprised by the inside. Shame on whoever kicked the doors in. I love that I am finding more of your older videos. Thank you as always. I hope Ruby is well. I like it when you both explore. This was a good one for wallpaper
So wierd!! you find a freezer by the front door. By the beautiful staircase; I know, by now how much you hate stairs, but that attic was amazing! Thx for sharing!
Wow what an amazing place!!!!! I would have been in absolute heaven living there. Such a dang shame that people would rather put their money into new construction rather than fix these amazing homes. So sad....😥 another great find kappy!!!! 👏
Beautiful features in this old home. The views! You captured its charms very well, as usual. I admit that I was on alert since the snake skin…yikes! It was a lucky snake to live there though!
Happen to *love the lay- out of this once charming and handsome place. Seems too far gone to be resurrected, but lots of pieces and parts that could and should be recycled, cleaned-up, and loved elsewhere. Love the scale of both the downstairs rooms, as well as the bedrooms. Again, beautiful property. A very cool, but I believe - concluded structure. Thank you, Kappy.
I'm picturing it completely restored to it's original glory. The woodwork, plaster walls and ceilings, wallpapers, etc. Even the original kitchen cabinets. What a gold mine for restoration. Thanks for filming this. It must have been scary in some aspects.
It is so amazing to me how do people leave a house leaving their furniture, clothes and photographs and cups and plates on a table. It's so sad actualy. If these old magnificent homes could " talk " !!! Thank you for this video. Love from South Africa 😘🇿🇦
Really a treat. We live in a Victorian house that was build around the same time. Our doors look the same like the one in this old beauty. They must be original.
Love your content - you let the camera talk as you alone narrate- very peaceful & great homes!!!!
This house was gorgeous, it reminds me of i place I lived in.
I love how so many of your videos open up with the sounds of birds chirping. My mind wanders back to a happy and prosperous time, when people lived there and the homes were full of life. I can imagine people sitting outside, family parties, drinking iced tea late in the evening while listening to the radio or family holidays around the table!
Thank you for preserving these once grand ladies and giving them a last dance! ❤
How eloquently put!
Very well said!! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Way back before television was invented & the old tube wireless had to warm up before it would tune in.
Kappy, don't ever allow it to be said that you're not one of the bravest individuals in the world after witnessing you climbing the rickety old ladder leading up into the attic. You definitely give 100% of your efforts to get the very best videos and the stories behind them. Thanks very much my friend for sharing these videos with us.
That light, those birds singing, that architecture… absolute magic ✨
Would love to see back in time the original family and the house all alive.🌸✨🌞🌷
Please Be Safe, Kappy ( re 16:37 ): Does not look like much on the outside, now inside, wow... Great find, thank you....
Man I love houses like this one. The quirky layout, the ornate trim. So much charm and character. Just sad to see it left to decay.
I hope for every neglected property shown on this channel there are 10 of them from the 19th and early 20th centuries being saved and loved. I also love the antiques in these homes if these structures can’t be saved, hopefully some of the contents will!
And much of the interior architecture needs to be salvaged; doors, moulding, stair rails, mantels, ect
Agree with architectural salvage and furniture salvage. Most of these homes are in undesirable locations or too far gone to save. I don’t think people realize how expensive it is to live in much less save and remodel these homes. My grandmothers home from 1880 was burned down by the fire department.

Just imagine how much to bring it up to code!
@@CK-tz8ek gotta have very deep pockets for that. But nothing wrong with salvaging some of that stuff and putting it into a home in better shape.
Unfortunately it takes so much time and effort , not to mention the money.
I would love to live in a farmhouse such as this and hearing the birds singing. A lovely home.
Thank you for showing us the houses. It breaks my heart to see these beautiful old houses fall into ruin.
I have the exact same blue suitcase from my childhood - my grandmother bought it for me as a gift. I felt sooo sophisticated the very few times I packed it to spend an overnight somewhere. Now I use it to store my wedding dress from 40 years ago. Thank you for the video and the walk down memory lane!

On Newell posts like that you should see if the top lifts off… people used to hide stuff in there 😉
Awww what a shame this beautiful place wasn’t preserved! It’s so pretty and peaceful.
What a place!! In my mind's eye, I can see them all in there prime! Thanks, Kappy!! On to the next!!
Can only imagine how beautiful it was ❤
How nice to have my morning coffee and get to explore with you!!!! Should have kept that snake skin!
Looks like Eastern shore of Virginia ! Lots of these old houses along RT 13.
Now that's one fancy antique birdhouse LOL thanks for the walk-through, was a very nice house at one time 🙂
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Love the wood doors, door knobs, fireplace, and staircase. Saddens me that the old homes are in such horrible shape. I can imagine a family thriving there, once upon a time…
What a beautiful home that was in its day. I love the old wallpaper, the door knobs, trunk and the piano. Beautiful view!
Can u imagine what this looked like new? My favorite house type, country farmhouse. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t beautiful, never. Love your channel so keep up the good wk, you’re appreciated!!!!
When see these houses I often wonder about the people that lived there. What happened to them and the reason they left. They left some lovely homes.
Thee attic is amazing.
Great house. I love the ones with big rooms and lots of windows. Not in the best condition but definitely not the worst, either. Barn swallows instead of turkey vultures, that's a plus for you. Thanks, Kappy
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words! Agreed! I’ll take barn swallows over vultures any day!
Those were beautiful doorknobs and face plates. A beautiful location. Wish the house could talk.
Thanks so much for this,the house really should be saved
What a great find. It’s so sad that familes walked away from these beautiful old homes
I can't believe that no one related to the last people who lived there before, and loved that house, never valued it enough to keep it up, and keep it beautiful. I don't understand how they could just let it fall into ruin ☹️ very sad. I don't even know the family and I want to take care of it. 😊
I want to cry. They don't build houses like this anymore what a piece of history. This place looks still structurally sound
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love your videos Kappy your the best.
Too kind! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Excellent video, your work is appreciated!Thanks Kappy!
Thank you very much for watching! :)
Wow! The woodwork & the old original wall paper patches are beautiful!! What a find!! And what a neat location/views ! That wrap around porch must have been grand in it’s day!
Thank you very much for watching!! Yes I would’ve loved too seen it with the wraparound porch before it collapsed!
Dude, I sit here and talk to you and answer your comments constantly as if I'm with you lol. I love that you check the pianos!!! I would love to find someone who would go with me and explore the way you and Ruby do. Hi to her for me.
Imagine how proud the house stood and the love flowed through it memories cherished! What stories it could tell u!🤔❤️
I love ❤ walking 🚶♀️ through old houses 🏘
Love this house ..wish someone would save it...bet she was a beauty in her day!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this house. It looks like it was owned by a very nice family who took care of their house. Some beautiful things in the house.
Agree *amazing* views from every window. The attic view of the roof structure shows how well built that is - solid like a rock. Just want to get in there and sweep out all the debris, leaving the countryside breeze to blow through 😊😉 Thank you for another adventure 👍💯
I think its beautiful 🦋 but I find beauty in old damaged things, especially old dead trees idky but they're amazing to me.
My grandmother was from that area! So much light in that beautiful house it must have been amazing in its day!
I couldn't help noticing all of the heart pine doors in this house. I'm surprised it hasn't burned. Thanks for another great video Kappy.
Wonderful time capsule Kappy. I imagine it with its huge gallery giving it a crazy charm.
That is a very fascinating old place. Thank you for giving us a tour! There is so many photo opportunities in there!😅 That piece of furniture you thought some sort of hospital bed is actually a chaise lounge meant for relaxing on the porch. I would love to have one! Wonderful to see the old bedroom outfit upstairs, but sad to see no one wanted it.
What a nicely designed house and loved the attic as well as the kitchen. The bedrooms were great with all the windows. Anna In Ohio
What a fantastic house that must have been in its day. Built with so many interesting room shapes and that attic was huge! The views were wonderful.
Piano ,still standing. Love the staircase. By the way I am catching up, binge watching.
Oh Look at the old lighting rod on the Gable ! Cool!
Love the charm, the bathroom appears to have been added on years later. Thank you for sharing this lonely old beauty.
The mortise lock and handles on that front door must have been nice. Yup. Corinthian and egg and dart along the top. You can still see how beautiful she was.
I Hope in this show every Historical and Beautiful Abandon House , Castel , Manson and Abbey Filmed in
Beautiful old house!! I absolutely loved the beautiful wood main staircase!! I enjoy your videos!!❤️
GREAT VIDEO OF THIS GRAND OLD HOUSE KAPPY
I would absolutely buy that house and turn it back into its true beauty as it was in the day it was built
Kappy, thanks again for the wonderful visit to this once beautiful home. But there's a lot of us Moms that worry about your safety. Don't push the envelope too far! I would have been so fast GONE with the snake skin! Take care from Tennessee
I would have LOVED to see this house back in the day! I like how it looks and feels. It gives off good vibes. Would have loved to live here. Thanks for showing it to us!
omgggggggg kapppy yer killin me man with these awesomeeee abandonded old houses i loved this house it was gorgeous i love old history pics of people i would of taken that pic and add it to my old vintage collections of old 18 hundreds pictures amazing budddy keeep on keepin on my grateful dead budddy rock on
You always do an awesome job. Looking at these old rooms and at the kitchen. I can almost hear the children laughing and running up and down the stairs back in the day or smelling the food cooking in the kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very nice old house. Just love these houses. They are built so nicely. Might be a wasps nest in the house somewhere. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
entry way is awesome. Love all the light that comes into the rooms, big windows. Love the view from the windows. If only it was all brand new again.
In l-o-v-e with this house and with your panoramic camera angles! It makes us feel like we're standing there too. ♡
Too kind! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Stunning house!! So Sad it’s beyond restoring 😢
Thanks Kappy, it was a beautiful in it’s day with the lovely wallpaper & lots of windows showing the view of the countryside 🌹🌸 ❤️the Layout 🌻
I looove snakes. Wasps, not so much. Cool place. Thank you for pausing on the wallpaper patterns. They're kinda fascinating.
Absolutely Stunning!!!! I wish people would rehab old homes like that. Such a Beautiful piece of history.
Thanks for sharing and the stories the house could tell you
What an old beauty! Beautiful details with the hand carved newl post and the ornate door knobs. It would take alot of money to restore that gorgeous old house! I bet the wrap around porch was great! Thanks Kappy!
I love this one, especially the staircase and parlor area with pocket doors. I desperately wish I had the money to save her.
My favorite by far. It just seemed so livable. I could feel the love in that house.
I once had an offer to have an old house from the 1860's for free here in Florida but they said I had to tear it down so I accepted the offer and used a lot of the beautiful old pine wood and beams plus cypress paneling in another old house I bought that used to be an old slave quarters that was a log cabin at one time. Also a beautiful mirrored mantle from the 1920's was in that old house. I still live here to this day.
This looks just like the house in my repeated dreams. Only the curtains blowing out the windows as the wind blows through.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍🙂👍
Hi Kappy! Love, love, love to look at these old places with you. Have loved old and/or abandoned houses since I was a child and the interest never left - so thank you. Found out this week there is an Antique Doorknob Collectors of America! I too a look at their site - way too cool! Say hello to Ruby!
I’ll have too take a look as well! Love old door knobs! Thank you very much for watching! Haha will do! :)
You are not alone in your interest in old and abandoned houses. Sometimes on shows like "Home Town," I prefer how the big old houses look before they fix them up. I'm an old soul I guess.
Just think at one time how beautiful the house was back then
Would of been nice to see the photos up close these were the souls that once was there loving home 😥😆
You found a real treasure Kappy!! Aside from the contempory junk laying around, the true beauty of this wonderful old house is awesome! The hardware, pocket doors,etc.,just picturing it all when new, just imagine! Thanks for showing this walk thru history, sad to think it will one day be just a memory.
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words!! :)
This place probably would have been gorgeous back in its day. I find it amazing all the furniture and wood work is still there. Have a great day
That house has great bones and amazing views! What a find. Thanks!
Another beautiful home Kappy! The woodwork is amazing. It’s sad to see old photos left behind, it seems they’re leaving family behind. Thanks Kappy! You never disappoint us. 😊
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words! :)
Hello Melissa how are you doing?

Too bad that it’s falling apart I can only imagine what it once looked like thank you for showing!❤️
The wood work fantastic!
@@Gypsy839 thank you for watching! :)
What a beautiful old house Would of been lovely back in the day Thanks for the tour Cheers from Linda in Australia
So wierd!! you find a freezer by the front door. By the beautiful staircase; I know, by now how much you hate stairs, but that attic was amazing! Thx for sharing!

I admit that I was on alert since the snake skin…yikes! It was a lucky snake to live there though!
Well said! Not a bad place too live for a snake lol just glad we didn’t run into each! Thanks for watching! :)
Amazing House! What a Beautiful Attic! Omgosh!!

Thank you for showing!!!❤
Love that house. Just imagine how it looked when it was first built. You are a courageous guy. I would be terrified. Thanks for sharing.
So tragic to just left to decay. I bet it was a beautiful home in the past. Thanks for showing us this gem.
Wow that is awesome so beautiful house not look creepy look so lovely but so sad I really love your videos God bless you always 🙏 from Houston Texas 🙏
Beautiful house. Thanks for sharing.
I really liked this house, I think I'm part, because of all the windows and light!
What a beauty! I was just reminded of Aunt Clara on Bewitched who used to love door knobs too.
Thank you for showing the old wall papers. I'm really interested in stuff like that.
Really a treat. We live in a Victorian house that was build around the same time. Our doors look the same like the one in this old beauty. They must be original.
