  • In today’s episode we hike deep in the woods to discover an abandoned mansion rumored to have been used by a cult. Along with the mansion is 3 other large homes that the alleged members lived in. From what I was told a very wealthy family lived here and would often throw parties even having some very important political figures in attendance, now after doing extensive research I couldn’t find anything specific about this alleged cult. I did however see that at one point in time the mansion was used as a wedding venue that boasted a gorgeous view of a nearby river, but unfortunately due to the lack of funding the wedding venue had to close leaving the property abandoned. Many things are still left behind waiting for the day to be put back to use. So join me today and let’s see what’s left.

      @@joshj7012 It likely WAS clickbait, doesn't look like the actual Alamo mansion at all, at least the photographs of it I can find. He doesn't even say what state he's in (Alamo's properties once he had money were all in Arkansas if I recall correctly, the properties when the cult was in another state were *horrific*).
      But after all the Alamo property got seized the later owners did try to do weddings on other property they owned adjacent to it, if not in the actual mansion.
      It's not that well-known of a cult, I only know of it because I am an Arkie. If you google "Alamo mansion wedding venue" you'll find an article from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette showing the front of the actual mansion and talking about its horrid disrepair.

    This stately Georgian Colonial was erected in local brick in 1910 so as to maximize views of its elongated Hudson River shoreline and distant prospects of the Berkshire Mountains. Wedding Present Farm (73± acres) is set amongst a string of storied Manor Houses and River Estate Farms south of Albany that articulated life for prominent families. It borders conserved land including the 330 acre working farm at its northern border. It and its Manor House were once owned by the notable lawyer, merchant and agronomist Edward Townsent Reed. The Hudson River House with Cupola at southern border was owned by the proprietor of Knickerbocker Ice.
    The house proudly displays classical architecture in over-sized and high-ceilinged Public Rooms admitting light at both ends, centered on delicately carved fireplaces and enjoying oak floors. Exterior Porched Entrances are of classical Grecian styling and columned iteration, either with hand-carved volutes or Corinthian capitals. The River Doorway, Foyer and Staircase are of an equal prominence as the Front Entrance. The bookcased Living Room (29'x 17') yields through french doors on each side of the carved fireplace to a large columned South Porch with a brick breastworked fireplace that connects to the Postern. Above it, a large roofed Terrace is accessed by french doors from a Bed Room. The Dining Room (29'x 17') is expressed by high paneled wainscotting, a carved fireplace mantel and oak floors. The adjoining Kitchen Dining Room ((19'x 17') is fireplaced and is open to the Kitchen (24'x 12') and Butler's Pantry with marble countertops.
    Second story Bed Rooms, Baths and hallways are amply proportioned. The Master Bed Room is 31'x 17'. The Third Story Ball Room (40'x25') has two facing fireplaces and wide board floors.
    Ancient and stately specimen deciduous and nondeciduous trees grace the grounds, including the massive tuliptree near the South Porch.
    Ancillary dwellings include a 3400 s.f. Tudor-styled Guest House and two other three bedroomed Guest Houses. These are supported by three barns, garages and fields. The long elegant and gated gravel driveway is curvilinear and penetrates Entrance Woods from River Road, is graced by two naturally delineated Entrance Ponds and meanders through woods past set piece Guest Houses and Carriage Barns to an utterly private Wedding Present Farm.
    An inground Pool and Shelter are north of the Main House North Porch. A long serpentine driveway descends from the house to the steel bridge over the Bennekill tributary of the Hudson to the 42 acre Shad Island included in the estate, comprised of woods, fields, trails and extended Hudson River frontage. It directly faces on the Hudson River eastern shore the pristine wooded shoreline of the 1052 acre Schodack Island State Park and Boat Launch. Wedding Present Farm is handy to Albany, the NYS Throughway, the Mass Pike, skiing, and numerous shore Towns.
    Wedding Present Farm was erected as a summer home by Edward & Martha V. A. (Van Antwerp) Easton, on land conveyed as a wedding present by neighbor and close friend Edward Townsend Reed in 1907. Reed and Easton were prominent Albany attorneys, Yale men and mercantilists, Reed in seed; Easton as a lumber baron. Martha's son-in-law Ten Eyck Powell, upon marriage to her daughter Kate V.A. Easton, joined the household and they raised their family there. Ten Eyck Powell was scion of the original Coeymans family, which owned Powell & Minnock Brick Co., which later exclusively supplied all the brick to Co-op City and at whose yard the 145th Street Bridge was assembled.

      @@brynnharris-hamm1321 It's very common for estates to have other homes on the property. Sometimes the original owners would build a small home and live in it while the main house was being built. Often another home/s would be built for the couple's children when they got married. Others could be for caretakers/staff and/or for guests. I think the people that bought the home after it was renovated defaulted on the loan but don't quote me on that. Not sure if that's a rumor or true. I would guess they have the electricity on so the home could be shown after dark and it could be a sort of security thing. Looks like someone is there at night sort of thing. Another thing could be it was sold seeing it's no longer listed. Was listed for $2.9 million which is cheap for that area. The back of this property fronts the interstate/toll road. Here's a little article about it. spotlightnews.com/news/2021/09/09/wedding-present-farm-for-sale-coeymans-estate-linked-to-prominent-families-of-the-past-is-on-the-market/

    The living room: those “windows” are French Doors. The glass door immediately next to it is called a “storm door” or “storm window” which are used in the winter to cut the drafts and cold from the exterior. Typically these are traded for “screen doors” for the summer…so you can keep the French Doors open for a breeze but the screens will keep out the flies and mosquitos

      I don’t disagree but you must realize these properties belong to someone. Often people inherit and don’t have the funds to fix them. Property taxes often can be barely paid. Using these houses for the uses you mentioned wouldn’t be possible. First some people dream of someday finding the funds so no they may not want to sell. Sometimes wills state they can not sell must always remain in the family. And even if they did want to donate you can’t just let homeless strangers live in your eun down house. Someone could be hurt or killed and the owner would be responsible. How would you even get insurance to protect the tenets or owner? Who would even have the money to fix it up for the suggested uses? No one can just take over someone else property even if it’s falling down

      Interestingly, it could have been used for that. It was built in 1910. A lot of large estates and mansions housed wounded militia after World War I so it is possible it was used for that for a while. I don't know, though. That could have been primarily in the UK. Regardless, you're completely right. A waste of good housing and land. Unfortunately it is on the market for $2.9 mil so unless someone buys it and puts it to good use, it will be some rich person or company's little project and the people that actually could use it for good will never get to do so.

    That main house is much older but the furniture and interior decorating, and remodeling was from the 1980's, those couches, the piano, the tile floor in the dining area/kitchen and the Vases on the chest of drawers upstairs are definitely late 80's, say 1988. Everything was beige interiors around 1990. 28:35 That's not a dresser, that's an entertainment center somebody used to stack knick nacks and dishes in. The main area with the doors is for the TV, the shelves underneath are for the VCR, Stereo deck, etc... and the sides are for books, VHS tapes, magazines etc. All the peripherals for CRT TV sets were big and bulky back then, so keeping them together and organized helped hide cords and made the room more attractive.

    That main house is stunning. The last one you went in before the mansion was run down quite a bit. I am surprised a property developer hasn't bought the lot, spent a fair amount doing everything up including the pool and sheds and either on sold it or rented all of them out. If it was done properly, it could be used as a function center or retreat area for wealthy tourists. Be interesting to know how much land goes with those houses. Could also be used as farm stays. If i lived in America, had the money, it would be an interesting property to buy and do up

    To me, this is a very odd mansion. The woodwork, windows, and fireplaces are beautiful, yet the kitchen is so small and almost like what a restaurant would have. That whole breakfast area/kitchen is just strange. The bathrooms have nice bathtubs but are so impractical otherwise...little pedestal sinks and NO counter space with lots of wasted floor space. The dining room is so huge with one little tiny table. There are some very small bedrooms, and yet the master bedroom is disproportionately large. The attic reminded me of a meeting room where rows of chairs would be set up, all facing towards the fireplace, or maybe a church if it was indeed a cult. There are just some very odd spaces in that home. It's nice to see an abandoned place with no graffiti and no smashed glass though. If there are squatters, they're not trashing it. I'd love to know this home's history.

      Oh yes I assume the kitchen would be a little more elaborate especially since he said that they used to be weddings there once you need like a bigger sink and a bigger refrigerator and all that for weddings but maybe they took some of the stuff with them that's what I was thinking about the bathrooms to maybe they had extra you know cabinets or extra tables like makeup tables and different things because people used to have like you know vanities and makeup tables maybe they took some of that stuff with them when they left

      yeah it's kind of creepy. I liked that other house where the tree had fallen into it. I love the shiny wallpaper and it's so much cozier.
