Thanks for watching! Leave a comment if you enjoyed! Also turn on notifications so you know when my next videos out!
Anybody else hit the like button before watching the video because you know it's going to be awesome?? Great video as always Kappy!
I do for sure
Absolutely!
LOL I already know it is going to be good so yeah, I do.
EVERY TIME :)
Yep
Anyone see the book on the shelf titled "Fighting For Time".....Very ironic that this poor old house is doing just that. Thanks for the video man! Take Care 👍
Yes, I did.
You know Kappy, you can wear a mask during your explorations. It will not bother us at all. We prefer to see you healthy !!! Molds are very dangerous. Even if your voice changes because of wearing a mask, it does not matter. We will not be able to give you back a health. We want to keep you with us for a long time.
Take care of yourself!!

Yes, agreed Nathalie.
The round wooden bowl on legs is just like my Grandmother used to make butter. That was on our farm over 70 years ago.
thank you, I wondered what that was used for !
I fell in love with that. Charming!
Can't help but imagine how awesome it would be if this house was brought back from the brink of decay that it is in now. Especially the original stone portion of the house.
Love it!! The old style, the hodgepodge of rooms going here there and everywhere!! Great find Kappy thank you!
The stone portion is probably the oldest and the other parts added on later. Seems like most of the house is in good condition except the small ad on’s. Hopefully it can be saved. Great find.
Kappy, I think this is one of the strangest houses you have ever video'd. It just went everywhere and all different time periods. Good find!
Someone lived there within the last 10 years. I noticed those toxic, mercury filled, "efficiency" light bulbs throughout the house.
Agreed was definitely a mix! Thank you for watching!!
@@reesedaniel5835 I think they were first available in the 1990s.
Awesome video. It looks like the original house was all stone, then additions came. Door hardware is nice. I do like the different window mouldings that are peaked. Never seen that before. I like the two armoires that were in there, those look like there are from the 30s.
Nice old house with some nice pieces of antique furniture. If they blocked off the fireplaces, I wonder what they used to warm up the house.Nice video, thank you Happy!
Janice Breault there are radiators under the windows
Looks like someone moved in at some point to try to restore it. Sad to see such an interesting house go to ruin. Thanks for the tour!
I agree! :)
Great house! This Pennsylvania girl loves narrow winding stairs and big fireplaces! Could have been beautiful at one time. The work out equipment looked out of place. A little strange. Thank you Kappy. 🦋
I guess the 'usefulness' of a fireplace in every room, went by the wayside when more modern heating/cooking things became popular. The door removal next to the fireplace, may have been in an effort to close off unneeded rooms, and make it easier to heat more often used areas. Great video Kappy, I also hit the like button, before watching the video. I haven't been disappointed yet, I could always unlike it afterward... but never have!
:)
KAPPY, IS THAT AN ORB?? At 9:28 when you walk into the kitchen. It goes from the door to the light fixture then down to the right. I don’t think is a reflection from equipment because the camera is perfectly still and there’s no light source.
I just re-watched that at 9:28, and yes, it was an orb. I'm very familiar with them from exploring abandoned houses and taking photos there and in old cemetaries. They are mobile spirit "portals" that can shapeshift into other entities, which I've also caught on camera.
@@reesedaniel5835 Dust mote.
Saw it!
@@kristy7174 I've been seeing dust motes for almost 80 years.
Would buy it in a heart beat if i knew how and could afford to....would dry it in... board up any place open to outside that couldnt be fixed right away....clean out everything....then make sure the roof was fixed right away....and any falling down additions would be removed or rebuilt....then clame one solid part of the house to make liveable and work through one room at a time restoring it....
As someone who sincerely hates the loss of history, and the waste of useful items, I wish you COULD find it and buy it! I'd chip into a "go fund me" for something like that!
Hi, so nice to see a place that hasn't been vandalised. Thanks for sharing this neat and rare find. x
wow! that was like a mystery house, kinda creepy. what did it smell like upstairs? decomposition? most excellent video Kappy! 10 thumbs up on this one!
I agree... thumbs up!
I wonder if the doors were sealed shut to divide it into separate apartments??
What an interesting home. Love those large window frames♡ Thanks for another awesome explore, Kappy😊
:) Thumbs up!
Neat to see the movement of time in the house from the 1700 s to the 1990s s
:)
I’m inspired. I’m def gonna find the primary color dinosaur border for my living room too! Cool old house though. Dinosaurs aside.
What a find, kappy! Old! Cool antiques too! Old wooden dough kneading piece. Marvelous!
Awesome video Kappy. I did enjoy watching it. Such a Huge house and a shame this place has fallen into this decay. Have a Wonderful Weekend. looking forward to Your next explorer. Yes, I have hit the like button before watching the video. We know it going to be good and it is. :)
The thickness of the walls on the one side .. wow.. very nice. Thanks for another great video!❤
Definitely you can tell it's a old house from how deep those windows were. This poor house is beyond repair, about the only thing worth saving would be the hardware on the doors. Great video looking forward to the next time, as always be careful and be safe.
Great find Kappy! Looks as though it was divided into two living areas with those 2 doors blocked off?
Good observation! Thank you for watching!
Love you upload s❣️The abandons houses are some of the most unique places that I don’t see other TH-camrs do. Which is totally refreshing. 😎
I also love exploring old abandoned houses and places. :)
Really? Lots of people do them.
It’s kinda funny that it had energy efficient lights lol
This house had unusual doors to the rooms. Be nice to have to make something out of them like a coffee table and or table. thanks for sharing.
Harry Emigh jr received the Purple Heart in ww2. He was injured in the Korean War which ended his military career. Harry died in 2004.
Is this factoid about someone who lived in this house? Curious.
Great video I love the old houses built back then
Another house with a thousand stories to tell. And I just love houses with crazy add ons and doors to odd places. And the twisty little staircases. I gotta ask. When explorers comment on “the smell” am I the only weirdo that’s thinking what smell? Cats? Mold? Poop? Lol. Thanks for a fun unique explore. Almost feels like it was divided up for student apartments. Maybe it’s the books, the exercise equipment and the hodgepodge of furniture. Thanks again and be safe. ❤️
It’s always a different smell for each house but the upstairs of that house smelled kinda like cat pee haha thank you for watching !
Lol! That question goes through my mind everytime a 'smell' is mentioned! I suppose that makes us both weird?
Susan Miller. This is a very early house. When settlers built their homes, they would very often start out with a log house or timber frame. As time went on, children came along and more money was accrued, they would build a main house. They would often plaster the log portion walls and frame or stucco the log part to ‘disguise’ the log portion. People wanted to display the fact that they were affluent and a log house certainly wasn’t a sign of affluence! The same thing happened when wood stoves came in to use in the 1870’s. A wood stove was a sign that you had money. The fireplaces would get filled in ( like the fireplace in my 1850’s stone house) and stuccoed over. The configuration of some old homes change over time. Heat loss was a big issue, consequently, a wall might go up or down to keep the heat more concentrated. The stone portion very well may have come after the other section. Cheers
Susan Miller l always hope that Kappy doesn’t say anything about odours. Commenting “This house stinks” to me is crude and so unnecessary. It’s also to me, an insult to the people who lived in the house. Very often rodents and raccoons get in and defecate. It’s so degrading to bring up odours and l wish he’d stop doing it. It’s also unprofessional!
@@wendycrawford1792 I’ve watched hundreds of exploring videos. Kappy is by far one of the most gracious, respectful explorers out the. The odors are just part of the experience. Try walking into an attic full of buzzard poop or dead mice in the middle of summer in the humid south. It’s pretty bad. As a matter of fact it’s stinks. Kappy, don’t change, you’re doing a terrific job.
Great video Kappy. Really love those doors with the old handles. My Aunt and Uncle lived in a house like this in PA which had similar features. It too was built around 1800. It also had a winding back staircase off the kitchen. Thank you for sharing this video.
Nice job, Kappy. Seems like parts of this house were older. Reminds me of historic homes in Massachusetts that had a history of witchcraft. I worry about you being around mold. You can buy a N 95 mask at Lowe's for under $7. I have one in case I have a patient with tuberculosis. It will help with nasty smells, too. Not sure about talking with one. You may sound like Darth Vader.
Fireplaces are beautiful! Love love love the interior glass doors.
Kappy you have awesome videos! I really enjoyed this one! This old house was really interesting layout and lots of messy areas due to decay. But I loved the books and papers in the bookshelves.
And those beautiful fireplaces and French doors. I hope this house could be saved. It didn’t look too rotten
Love watching your videos, Kappy! You’re always enthusiastic, respectful, and show so much appreciation for the past. I’ve learned that you don’t like hot attics, spider webs, and now that you trip over things. I think we must be related! Haha!! Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe out there!
That place was tricky! Thanks for being brave enough to tackle it. Was interesting.
Good video, Kappy. I actually liked this house, must have been pretty nice before the roof fell in, and the floor dropped lol. Thanks for making my Sunday more interesting.
I find it amazing how the original house almost always out last the additions😁i noticed it looked like the first addition you went in had a small kitchen / since that weird doorway next to the fireplace and then the door securely closed up stairs i have to wonder if someone was using the house for a duplex kinda place
Thank you for sharing. Very confusing floor plan. Soo much left behind, always wonder what happened. Again Thank you for taking us along 😊
Strange but interesting house. Great video
Another brilliant find, such a mix of the decades mingled altogether
Nice find Kappy! Looks like the owner blocked off access to half of the house and rented it out. Pretty cool!
Lol! I hit the like button before I even watched the video! Hahahahaha! I already knew it was going to be a dandy and I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks so much Kappy for sharing another amazing find. Wishing you a very happy Saturday!😊
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it👍
Thankyou for showing us this old place.
I think the stone side is the original n for grandma n grandpa. But added another side for the kids n grandkids. I saw an orb at 9:28 so not everyone abandoned this old place. N don't apologise for not going in the attic! This place has a odd feel to it like it's sad. But the fireplaces were awesome. The one in the kitchen was used when first build. Great find Kappy. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and God bless.
I like your style! Your very respectful and no foul mouth! Nice job!
Interesting find, Kappy. One thing for sure, someone was prepared to keep fit! Kind of expensive equipment to be left behind, though. Very nice selection of books, including one I'd like for my library, a book about historic US railroads. BTW, that 1948 magazine is quite possibly a reprint. They did a lot of that: reprinting important historic editions. Wear your mask, please! We don't want you to come down with the Wobbling Ab-dabs or the Creeping Crud!!
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us.
Hope you take stills of all of this! What a lasting documentary. A scrapbook of your explorations.
It looks like the house was divided into 2 apartments, which is why the original doorway into the next room became a closet.
Wow!I am hooked on abandoned houses
Fantastic! Thanks Kappy 👍🙋 🕊️
The houses you find are just amazing!! I hate seeing them so dilapidated...So sad.. Once again Thank you for sharing another awesome explore!!!TaraLynn (Calgary Alberta Canada)
I think the original stone house was just the two rooms (one down, one up) and then the big center addition was added on and connected by the door next to the fireplace. Like others have noted, that original two room section was at some point made into a separate apartment with the poorly constructed bump-out bathroom and kitchen stuck onto the front (very unsightly!). An interesting detail I noticed was that upstairs, on the other side of the locked door that connected the "apartment" to the rest of the house, a number Nine hangs above the door. Lots of exercise equipment and books about ships and such make it look like a bunch of guys lived here--could it have been a frat house? I like those brown door knobs. Too bad we couldn't see the attic--since it was above the oldest part of the house, maybe something cool was up there.
I love it! Great work! I too hit the like button cause I know it will be awesome!
Love the old hardware on the doors
This place is amazing. Really cool find . Colonial style homes are beautiful. I’ve never seen the inside of an old Colonial. You could so much with it , it’s beautiful. Very much salvageable. Lots of work could make it look amazing, but it’s the money that you soak into it. The wiring gets expensive as well, substandard wiring in these old homes is quite common.
LOL and YOU said you should have been wearing a mask.
Thanks for another on Kappy and thank you for being respectful of other's information and privacy, that is the main thing I love most about your channel above the few others like this I watch.
awesome find kappy ive beeen sick with the flu but im getttin alittle better hope your day is great keeep up the goood work and seeee ya around soon
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thank u for this video. How do u find these places?
We just drive around :)
For future reference, when you come across door nobs with the square box, check beside the nob or around the edges of the box, there should be a small latch that slides. It should unlock the door nob. Good video.
The last stages of the house were rentals, it was divided then probably the first section was kept locked down for storage by the owner, the updated section rented out.
Awwww, this is an absolutely awesome house. I love that it is so old. One of the first homes built back then!! This is an amazingly beautiful find !!!!
5:18 - love seeing all of those Balto./Maryland books & at 10:46 saw what looks like it says Medline on a shirt-? Maybe an employee uniform shirt-?
GOOD MORNING KAPPY 🙋as always what a AWESOME LOCATION and a 👍 UP for a AWESOME EXPLORE these big home so out last the plastic homes that are been built now SERIOUSLY LOOKS STURDY these big homes always got me wondering why is it abandoned? What happened? I saw a couple of ORBS ⭕ ⭕ floating about they usually come with old homes with HISTORY so cool your videos KAPPY thank you heaps for sharing 👉so this way 👉👉👉I shall see you on your next ADVENTURE 👉👉from NEW ZEALAND 😉
Thank you for watching!!
I saw those too, definitely orbs, they changed shape and direction, dust doesn't do that
my Mom lived in a house like that when she was a lil girl in the 20's. Well, outhouse, no electric and the next door neighbor was a civil war vet. One room school house n walked or one horse buggied to school 1+ miles away.
The way doors were made in those days…pretty interesting. The hardware is interesting too. Gives the house kind of neat look. We have so many luxuries.
I guess they changed the layout when the joined the two parts & thats why a doorway has been made into a wardrobe. That energy saving light bulb in the main part of the house shows it has been occupied relatively recently.
Probably some elderly person was removed because he or she couldnt take care of theirself and may have been a hoarder
I had a neighbor who owned a house with his sister. They had a fight and didn’t get along. They put walls in the house to split it in half. She lived on one side , him on the other. They couldn’t get to each other’s side without going outside and to the door on the other side.
Maybe that’s what happened here.
Please be careful that looks really bad! Thank you Kappy! You always do great videos!❤️
I don't know why, but this house gave me the creeps! Kappy, what kind of vibe did you get from it? It was still a great explore as usual!
Same here, I have explored houses like that... just like the recent one that I filmed... check it out. Also caught an EVP!
Very much felt creepy inside to me as well! Thank you for watching and the kind words!! (:
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 ... Didn't you say that you would like to be an architect? How is that coming along? You'd be a kick ass architect! Maybe even an architectural historian! No matter what you do, I know you will be successful!
Funny you should say that, I thought that too and at 7.04, 7.05 there's what looks like an orb comes toward Kappy on the left hand side and changes shape. Is definitely not dust with the way the shape changes and the movement
Originally this was obviously a significant home but its most recent inhabitants clearly didn't respect that. Its almost as if the very fibres of the house are weeping. Kappy himself felt the affects of the conflicting vibes.
At 9:28 as you enter this room , a orb appears from the ceiling light fixture , comes down and goes right , you turn right and it moves from washer and follows you a bit , maybe that's why you couldn't enter other side of house 👍awesome find and video
If nobody else has said, that piece of furniture with drawers on one side and a space to hang clothes on the other, is called a "chifforobe". Also, the cooking fireplace in that kitchen is the most interesting part for a lot of us old house lovers. I can tell we have a generation gap here; you are drawn to the electronics, which are all last Tuesday for us older people.
I love old homes. What I find amazing is that so many comment about ghosts, spirits, etc. Imaginations running wild!
Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very old and was added on. WOW! Keep the stone house!!! History!!! Weird that the room is blocked off. I guess you have to go upstairs then come down the other stairs LOLOL. Not crazy about the interior decorating.
:)
I could love a house like this once was! Still beautiful in spite of the decay! Glass doors and pretty door hardware. That Life magazine is older than me, and that's saying something! Great explore!
Wow! Where do you find all these old houses, really enjoyed this video. Thanks Kappy!
My husband and I just drive around. :)
You really pick out some interesting ones.
Wish someone would restore this house!
Thumbs up :) Very nice place !
Ah, another welcome video! Thank you Kappy! You really make me wish I was about 35-40 years younger! I've always had an interest in old buildings! You find the most interesting old homes to explore, how do you do it?!
13:29 20 cents in 1948 is $2.20 in 2020 - 6 bucks is $65.89. Pretty reasonable!
EARTH ANGEL 😇. THINGS that SHOULD be rescued before too late: all door hardware, some doors, old treen bowl on added legs, picture (oil?). of old rigged whaling? Boat next to it, and old,painted wicker items! ( someone else will grab them!). Great fireplaces, kitchen stairs for servants with their room just above.Many additions & original features. Curved staircase, door, and railing identical to ours!😳🤔😱May be an Underground Railroad home!! 👍😍😄👍
I agree!
That LIFE mag is $$$!!! At first i wondered about the underground railroad too, but then i thought that maybe it was just a creepy landlord creepin' on the tenants???

Happy is my favorite. I'm new to the site (about 6 mos) and I watch all his videos. Love his presentation of these old homes!
Cappy* I hate auto correct!
Cappy*
Interesting house , some rooms looked like abandoned some rooms looked like someone maybe still trying to live in those rooms.
I didn't know they had electric cook stoves in 1711.
:)
It’s a shame about the clutter and butchering of this very early house. The fireplaces were magnificent!
Really interesting old place. Thankyou for sharing. Do you think the wooden or the stone part was the older? I am not very familiar with wooden houses as there are so few in Britain. I thought the wooden part looked very old.
Wow, the left part of this one is all stone, isn't it? The highboy you found in the green mantel room is really old, I think. Somebody should have taken it out years ago. Too late now, sadly. Nice doorknob, huh? Looks like somebody kicked a hole in the wall, but why the plywood? Strange. That is a very old thumb latch, for sure. Those books left to ruin make me sad, as always. Lots of nice antiques in that room. The highboy in the corner is solid cedar. The other one was just not worth much when it was new.
If you're in the older part of the house and I'm not sure where you are, that kitchen fireplace was once used for cooking. That door hardware was really old, Kappy. Maybe you'll check it out later.
I don't blame you on the attic, man, what you've been through is enough. Thanks for your perseverance and strong stomach!
Love your videos, can't wait to watch a new one. Keep up the good work, with your camera, nice and slow. From Canada thanks
Thank you very much (:
Some places today still look like this..... Although in much better condition
Awesome video as always but I hate this house, wow lol. What were the people that lived there thinking with ANY of that lmao
I often wonder how certain things end up in the rooms that don’t belong. I’m sure it was squatters at one time of things got moved once people have left but it’s just weird to me. Great video!
The "Thumb Latch" door hardware is original - some probably from Colonial times. Each one individually hand wrought by a blacksmith/latchmaker or in crude "factories" where they were made by hand as well. Before "Spring Latch" Doorknobs came to America (the invention/distribution of small springs was a game changer) lift-lever "Thump Latch" Handles were the standard. There is some very old and collectible hardware in that house.
Always great. Thanks from Sc
Around 9:27 you can see an orb..cool catch..it Wasnt dust or a bug..
This place looks as if it has a story to tell.....very strange .....I really enjoy your videos, they bring the life back in these places...thank you for sharing ........🤓❤️
