Older homes had so much character and charm. Give me an older home any day as compared to the cookie cutter houses of today. Wish I had the money to buy an older home and be able to restore it. That home must have been beautiful in its original heyday. My girlfriend bought an old house built in the late 1800s. It was owned by a doctor who had his practice in his home. He had lots of sinks in his home too and a servants small back stairs and large stairway going upstairs in front. Loved it. Had 2 big enormous front doors and huge really old magnolia trees in the yard.
I would definitely rather have an older house like this then a new house the older home’s were built to last and the woodwork and detail in the older home’s is incredible 💯 I’d also rather have a car like a 57 Chevy the car’s in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s were way better looking I was born in the wrong year 1958 I missed being able to have one of those awesome car’s 🥺😔😫
Norma Thompson. Hello. I’m from Canada and l can tell you that we don’t have anywhere close to the number of historic abandoned houses that you do!! We do honour beautiful old architecture here as l know you do in the states. Old Quebec, a walled city in Canada is like being in Europe, cobblestone streets and all. We have structures that go back to the 1600’s. You have tons more early structures than we do because the states was settled earlier over a larger geographic. We do ‘save’ old buildings but we can’t possibly save every lovely old structure. The reason we can’t do this is that it can take over a million to restore an old home, castles and mansions, -millions!!!!!! We don’t have the capital to restore every old building. You have schools in New York and Chicago that are in dire need of repairs. We have millions of homeless people in North America who need decent homes in good condition. It’s naive to think that we can fix up and maintain all these old homes. It simply isn’t feasible!!!
There’s no need to treasure many of them, given the evil history of this country. The homes deserve to rot and go down like they are doing. Just like their former owners. Now if the people were nice and didn’t have slaves, perhaps
If these walls could talk imagine the stories they'd tell? Think of all the people who walked through this house, fascinating!! Almost two hundred years old,nothing made today will ever last that long! Beautiful fireplaces,I would have loved to live in such an historic house. Hoping there's a plan maybe to renovate it,a d have it landmarked, it certainly deserves it,great find,thanks kappy!
@@Piecemaker1623 Hi beth! Can you image troops once being out there in front of the house? I don't know why people don't appreciate these houses they were so lucky to have
So true about homes today. They are put together so fast, and all seem the same. These old character homes are solid & built to last, always sad though to see damage done and then left alone to the elements.
@@danadelaplante6797 hi Dana,its so true,houses and even some apts don't have the charm and beauty of the homes of past.whenever I see old houses, esp Victorians, I stop and stare,I can almost feel and see the history of the house before me
I always wonder how these grand old historical homes are allowed to end up in such horrible shape. That home was someone’s dream when it was built!❤️ Thanks for the tour!!
I couldn’t agree more. I see love, joy and laughter; along with some pain and heartache. Children running through those hallways. Moms and dads trying hard to come up with Christmas gifts, good food and a beautiful tree with lots of homemade ornaments. So much hard work but so much love. A home of which they were all proud. Very sad to see the situation of this grand old home.
Hi Kappy, a lot of old farm houses had sinks so or near the back entrance for washing up before going u the house or kitchen. My grandparents farm house did. Another great video!
I like this house, I can picture it cleaned up, swept out, new kitchen wall. It would look real nice. Sad to see it falling in now. Impressive that you braved that basement, I wouldn't have gone down there. Thanks, Kappy
Getting too see the giant stones the house was built with for a foundation was worth it!! Just imagine how they lifted those back in the 1800’s! Thank you for watching !!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 It amazes me how anything was built back before modern tools were available! Even those wooden beams would have been extremely heavy!
That's how I would love my home.....with big stones. If only old houses wouldn't have so much mold and mildew damage I'm sure more people would rebuild them. Too expensive but I would if I could Great frame and fireplaces and stairs
Man your a braver soul than I am. I hold my breath every time you enter a room for fear someone will be in there. 🙈. Almost to 100k subscribers! You deserve it Kappy, you do a great job, I enjoy all your videos! 🌻
Thank you for zooming in and pausing on the bathroom wallpaper. You encounter some wonderful vintage prints and for some of us that can be almost as exciting as a good newel post or mantle. Thanks also for braving yet another basement. They are my least favorite too when my husband and I explore.
When he first showed it, my first thought was, "Oh, look, a mosquito hatchery!" The first year we stayed in Mom's cousin's cottage, a WWII Quonset hut, there were old tires leaning against the side. The first time I got close, I saw the rainwater that had run off the gambrel roof into the tires, was full of "wrigglers" (mosquito larvae). So, Cousin's eldest son brought over a small amount of kerosene, enough to float on the water and smother them. We had enough mosquitos without raising more, ten feet from the door! (The screen door opened inward, like a mobile home.) Quite a contrast between the floors and most of the interior walls. Interesting.
Hey Kappy, Isn’t it interesting how many of these abandoned old homes still have solid main staircase! Seems like those staircases were made to last lifetimes! Another great TN find! Really like this ole lady.
An old contractor told me once that the staircase was like a home's spine. And, the last thing to give in to decay. Kappy has showed us that both of those statements probably aren't all that correct but there may be a kernel of truth. In my own exploration if the stairs are shot, so is everything else, for the most part.
I'd totally buy a house like that. Once ya get a new roof on it, patch the holes and tear down the remains of the porch, it would fix up nicely. Solid bones and a brick exterior.
A beautiful house! I love the vertical panel doors; they fit the time frame of the house and, to me, look elegant. The mantels and wood paneling below the stairs were lovely, too. And I loved the 3rd floor rooms! I had to laugh when you discovered that there was a basement, and very quietly said "great". Basements are interesting to see, but I understand your reluctance to go into them. You wouldn't be able to get me to go down there for anything! If you ever choose not to go down, I think we would be okay with it. The remainder of your tours are wonderful enough that we don't always have to see the basement! Thanks, as always, for sharing a part of history with us!
I would need moral support. My mom told me to go back to the old place for a rocking chair in the attic. It gave me the hereby jeebies, so creepy. Tennessee has mahogany wasps, brown recluse spiders( the venom contains an anti-coagulant that leaves a blackened area and then scarring). Maybe the late fall when spiders and wasps are sitting in the warm window, but wasp spray would be in my kit.
That looks like a very, very old house. The Federal Period was 1785 to 1820, and it all looks pre-electricity and pre-plumbing. Nice find! Loved the tour! 😍
You have such a great eye for spotting these wonderful pre- Industrial Age houses. The interior doors that were 2 panel were more common in houses of the 1850s, yet there were many architectural features that remind me of 1830/40s. While it’s sad it was allowed to get to this state, I can’t help but hope some miracle will come along and save it. As always, an excellent video, Kappy!
Jeff Lawrentz. Hello. I felt that the house is quite early. I noticed the downstairs doors were just plank doors. Then you have the panelled staircase which is quite fancy. The room he first said was the kitchen, would have been the dining room( built in China cabinets). A fireplace in n almost every room- telling too( l think) of the age of the house. The room upstairs that he felt was for the servants, l felt wasn’t. At least originally with the nicely trimmed mantel. I found the windows odd- floor to part way up. This placement is something I’m not familiar with. My house was built around 1850( stone). All the doors( original are 6 panels with a cross. I’ve seen this style of doors in many of the house tours. Luckily, I’ve uncovered the original fireplace and it’s huge with a loop for the crane. My house is fairly small and modest. Wide board floors and very plain rooms- no nice old trim work anywhere. No closets. Summer kitchen and woodshed attached. We gutted the house to restud and rewrite, pulling down a shiny panelled pressed paper like ceiling , exposing the beams. Sorry to ramble. I live in Ontario and we don’t have houses that were built in the 16 or 1700’s with the rare exception, unlike the States where settlers were there earlier. The exception here would be old Montreal and old ( walled) Quebec. Cheers.
The stairs are beautiful!! And the old trunk, if in better shape, would be an amazing find. This home has seen better days for sure. I hate it when homes, no matter their condition, get trashed by heathens. 😢. Thanks for sharing Kappy! Stay safe and can’t for the next amazing find. 😊
This house didn’t seem to have any damage from outside people, pretty much all natural decay and animals. It’s in the middle of nowhere in the mountains which I think has protected it! Thank you for watching!!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Interesting. Looked so trashy-thought for sure others had been nesting in there over the years. Thank you so much for finding something like this in the middle of nowhere-I'd be terrified.🍁
As well as the trunk I spotted a patch work quilt, which would have been a treasure in its day. How people have such lack of appreciation for the past and our history.
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 It looked to me that people were definitely living in there at one point, and maybe even with a child or two. One room looked like they used it as a play room. Modern toys and things. Other rooms had pillows on the floor.
Wow. I know it was in rough shape, but what an amazing house!! Wish someone would save these old beauties! Another creepy basement though. Thanks again Kappy! ✌
Kappy hello there,,,, another great find 183 years old "wow" every brick ,,,timber planks panes of glass brought to this site by horse and cart,,, imagine how many loads it took to build this house?? as you went around making this film i felt this house is still alive she's got a strange feeling about her,,, happy times in the past are still in every room,,, children's laughter one can imagine smell of cookin yes,,,,,,, Kappy thanks most interesting video Ed,,,,
Top of a hill also. But think about it, one didn’t call to give a notice, I have a batch of cookies! No, one was fortunate to look out and see who was coming.
Thank you Kappy! Great video. Such an old house, she's a beauty! I sure appreciate you checking out the basements in these old homes. You never know what you'll find or see. 😘👍💜
Always amazes me how they are left to die. Some damage but the roof looks straight. New porch. Remove the back addition she could live again. I always enjoy and look forward to your videos. Thanks.
Good idea! Since the house was built in different times, maybe air flow wasn’t good. Take away a room that was not quite functional, like that brick wall was said to be improperly fired.
Not usually worried when you hear something and say hello. Old houses make sounds and it's good to be safe. The noise today was a little scary. Enjoy the channel, so much to love about these homes
It's in rough shape now but a real beauty at one time. Lie the entrance,the stair case,light fixtures and fire places The layout is wonderful.wish some one would save it.,there's a lot of good wood ,windows ,hardware Just love the house .You find the best.👍👍❤️
That servants' bedroom reminded me of the one in our family friends big house. A stairway, slightly narrower than usual, ran from a door in the east end of the huge kitchen up to a very nice room with twin beds, a small table, and a built-in cupboard right at the top of the stairs. It was bright, with a window looking out over the roof of the front porch and another looking east at the top of the stairs. Lots of old-fashioned toys in the cupboard for their kids to play with on rainy days, and the room was cozy and clean, sometimes used as a guest room. It was completely cut off from the rest of the second floor and to use the bathroom, you had to go down the stairs and across the kitchen (the "Usual Convenience" was under a bed). Interesting place. Kappy, thanks for taking us along on the tour. Stay safe, everybody.
I like the sidelights on the front door. The rooms were a good size and the doorknobs were great. I’m surprised that the stair railings were still intact. I can imagine how the house was when it was first built and I think it would have been beautiful.
Thanks Urban Exploring with kappy for sharing with me this video about Beautiful 183 year old Derelict House in Tennessee w/ Incredible architecture it was a very nice old house with big large rooms and i really enjoyed it kappy my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
I noticed there were virtually no cracks in the plaster anywhere in the house - totally solid and well worth restoration. If this used to be a coach house, I suggest that the small stairs off the living room lead to a private room, not servants' quarters. It doesn't make sense for the servants to not have access to the amenities they are supposed to be providing, nor for them to access the house into a main room. It would also explain the more ornate mantel and fireplace surround.
Thanks for the laugh! I grew up in San Diego area. Before you went into our house (if you were a kid) everyone knew to wash and dry their feet in the pool.
Beautiful!! Do you ever just want to take something??!! The old rocker, the old tub!! LOL well you couldn't just take that but I bet it's beautiful too! Thanks for sharing
I tell you the houses of today will never have the beauty , pride, architecture or the love that is in these old homes of yesteryear! So sad this house could not have been cleaned up a bit!
I have to hand it to you Kappy. You find the most amazing places to explore. I know this home was grand back in her day. Don’t know why it was left to decay like this. I guess there were no family members to take on the house. Such a beautiful home. Thankyou for taking us along.
Oh,this place does have a basement, "great" lmfao. Did ya know I was watching. I know you absolutely hate the dungeon but I for one appreciate you risking life and limb to venture there. Thanks
Kappy, Just found your channel, And have been watching all of your videos, I love your cool laid back style of speaking when you are describing the cool old homes, Thanks for the historic ride !!
This is the first of your explores I have come across. I was glad I scrolled down to read what you say about the property. I agree with P Taylor about the original house and stairs to one room. I too felt that that stone interior wall was once an outside wall. In my mind's eye I could see all that painted wood stripped and the beautiful stairs and paneling would just pop. All the fireplace mantals cleaned and the natural wood cleaned up. If someone had enough money the house could be saved. I am so glad you went to the basement, the size of that ceiling beam and the stones was amazing and points back to the early days of the house, with coal in the basement was may be a boiler that burned coal, although I did not see any radiators, I did spot what looked more like furnaces and would account for why most of the fireplaces where bricked up. There were two eras of door hardware. The original build with one up and one down with a lean to for the kitchen, possibly the grander part of the house added on later.
Very handy spot for a sink if you have just been gardening, or doing car maintenance, or playing with pets. It can also help limit passing on of flu & colds if you wash your hands when you are going out or returning.
awesome kappy another find loved the old boooks and an old radio stand i love antiques would be a beautiful bed and breakfast if i had the mooney id get it
Love this house. Wish someone had taken better care of it. The wood floors and the fireplaces were pretty in their day. Stay safe! Looking forward to your next old house. 🙋♀️
@@ptaylor4923 actually that's MORE dangerous. After years it will give a false footing. Get covered with debris. Atleast being opened you can SEE it's a HOLE 😬 it's actually a cistern, not a well, most have footholds built in the walls of the ones I've seen.
Thanks Kappy! Absolutely loved this house…and some people were correct…good bones…love to know why abandoned. Even with upgraded heat…would have cost a lot to heat and cool. Someone asked why fireplaces were bricked up…because they sucked all the heat up the chimney, once not being used…they were a money waster.
I really like this house a lot. I love the way the rooms are set up. I love the old style of the rooms. Too bad someone let the house deteriorate so much.
Would not have believed that there were areas still in such good condition. Isn’t it funny how the later additions seem to fail first. Would have liked to seen the kitchen. Pretty big house. Thanks as always for the tour. 98k subs. Almost there. ❤️
Thankyou so much, Kappy! I hope you can continue to find these faded beauties and document them. So many books in this one! I would be tempted to save a few.
Nice old fireplaces in this one. I was wondering if you ever worry about the mold in some of these houses. Have you thought about wearing a respirator? Stay safe 🙏
Hey Kappy, thx for taking us along......beautiful old house! Just wonderin, when you call out, “hello! Anyone up there?” Has anyone ever answered you?😱😜
I agree with P Taylor. That turned staircase was the original as well as single room where everyone slept. They added onto the home as their wealth grew, hence the Federalist mantles and sparse trim. It's interesting how they plastered directly into the brick. The basement was pretty incredible as well. Nice find and great shooting Kappy!! Thank you.
Older homes had so much character and charm. Give me an older home any day as compared to the cookie cutter houses of today. Wish I had the money to buy an older home and be able to restore it.

This house was great in its day , beautiful fireplaces but the stairs leading to the only room was awesome!!!! Thanks Kappy !!!!
With tender love, care, money, oh, and imagination. This would (again) be a dream home.
So sad that we as a country do not treasure these old places. So much history
Totally agree!

The sink by the entry is a mudroom. Lets the household wash up after working outside, instead of tracking dirt around the house.

Beautiful old home. I could see it as a stage coach stop and an inn. Nice layout.
Always amazes me how they are left to die. Some damage but the roof looks straight. New porch. Remove the back addition she could live again. I always enjoy and look forward to your videos. Thanks.
Good idea! Since the house was built in different times, maybe air flow wasn’t good. Take away a room that was not quite functional, like that brick wall was said to be improperly fired.
How wonderful it wasn’t tagged. Still standing proudly. Such history
Not usually worried when you hear something and say hello. Old houses make sounds and it's good to be safe. The noise today was a little scary. Enjoy the channel, so much to love
about these homes
The old sheet music touched my heart, imagining the sound of someone's playing or singing filling these rooms.
it was a truly beautiful house once, with an interesting floor plan. thanks for finding it
This place oozed class. I hate seeing it in such a sorry state! Great tour. Thanks!
It's in rough shape now but a real beauty at one time. Lie the entrance,the stair case,light fixtures and fire places The layout is wonderful.wish some one would save it.,there's a lot of good wood ,windows ,hardware Just love the house .You find the best.👍👍❤️
As I watched this it reminded me of an old saying "what comes from the Earth goes back to the Earth" A Beautiful Video!! Thank u!!
Love 💘this old house 🏚. It's awesome they don't make houses like this anymore. Stay safe 🙏❤💓💙
Nice little old house, thx for going down the basement 👍
This house was amazing. I loved the windows, the attic and the servants quarters.
That servants' bedroom reminded me of the one in our family friends big house. A stairway, slightly narrower than usual, ran from a door in the east end of the huge kitchen up to a very nice room with twin beds, a small table, and a built-in cupboard right at the top of the stairs. It was bright, with a window looking out over the roof of the front porch and another looking east at the top of the stairs. Lots of old-fashioned toys in the cupboard for their kids to play with on rainy days, and the room was cozy and clean, sometimes used as a guest room. It was completely cut off from the rest of the second floor and to use the bathroom, you had to go down the stairs and across the kitchen (the "Usual Convenience" was under a bed). Interesting place. Kappy, thanks for taking us along on the tour. Stay safe, everybody.
I like the sidelights on the front door. The rooms were a good size and the doorknobs were great. I’m surprised that the stair railings were still intact. I can imagine how the house was when it was first built and I think it would have been beautiful.
Sure has Alot of Stairs!! In it's time I'm sure it was beautiful!!!
Thanks Urban Exploring with kappy for sharing with me this video about Beautiful 183 year old Derelict House in Tennessee w/ Incredible architecture it was a very nice old house with big large rooms and i really enjoyed it kappy my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
It is amazing how fast nature takes back over the land with no people on it.
Wow we're blessed to have you show these houses. Architecture is amazing. Thank you.
I had to chuckle when you realized there was a basement and you knew you had to go down 👍🏻
I really appreciate the respect he shows for these old houses!
WOW...so many pieces that could be recovered and saved.
That foundation is incredible. Can you imagine the cost to do that today?
I noticed there were virtually no cracks in the plaster anywhere in the house - totally solid and well worth restoration.
If this used to be a coach house, I suggest that the small stairs off the living room lead to a private room, not servants' quarters. It doesn't make sense for the servants to not have access to the amenities they are supposed to be providing, nor for them to access the house into a main room. It would also explain the more ornate mantel and fireplace surround.
That house must have been really beautiful back in the day. Such a feeling of spaciousness and those floor to almost ceiling windows 🥰
as always another nice house.👍
“You kids wash up before you come in the house!!”
Pretty cool-thought may be for the helping hands to wash up before they come in. Nothing like those old homes-so solid and unique.
Thanks for the laugh! I grew up in San Diego area. Before you went into our house (if you were a kid) everyone knew to wash and dry their feet in the pool.
Smart, to wash up coming in from the field for meal time.
Beautiful!! Do you ever just want to take something??!! The old rocker, the old tub!! LOL well you couldn't just take that but I bet it's beautiful too! Thanks for sharing
I tell you the houses of today will never have the beauty , pride, architecture or the love that is in these old homes of yesteryear! So sad this house could not have been cleaned up a bit!
I have to hand it to you Kappy. You find the most amazing places to explore. I know this home was grand back in her day. Don’t know why it was left to decay like this. I guess there were no family members to take on the house. Such a beautiful home. Thankyou for taking us along.
Oh,this place does have a basement, "great" lmfao. Did ya know I was watching. I know you absolutely hate the dungeon but I for one appreciate you risking life and limb to venture there. Thanks
Hope you are refreshed and rested Ready to move forward!!!!!
Kappy, Just found your channel, And have been watching all of your videos, I love your cool laid back style of speaking when you are describing the cool old homes, Thanks for the historic ride !!
This is the first of your explores I have come across. I was glad I scrolled down to read what you say about the property. I agree with P Taylor about the original house and stairs to one room. I too felt that that stone interior wall was once an outside wall. In my mind's eye I could see all that painted wood stripped and the beautiful stairs and paneling would just pop. All the fireplace mantals cleaned and the natural wood cleaned up. If someone had enough money the house could be saved. I am so glad you went to the basement, the size of that ceiling beam and the stones was amazing and points back to the early days of the house, with coal in the basement was may be a boiler that burned coal, although I did not see any radiators, I did spot what looked more like furnaces and would account for why most of the fireplaces where bricked up. There were two eras of door hardware. The original build with one up and one down with a lean to for the kitchen, possibly the grander part of the house added on later.
Cool old house. Would love to learn it's stories.
Good night Kappy absolutely love your videos stay safe out there
Thanks Kappy! Another great video!!
Very handy spot for a sink if you have just been gardening, or doing car maintenance, or playing with pets. It can also help limit passing on of flu & colds if you wash your hands when you are going out or returning.
I thought the same. Very handy place for a sink
Really nice house, I hope one day it gets saved! If I had the chance to restore this house, I would leave the servants room as it is.
Thanks for showing us. Out of all the houses I've seen this is the one I'd like to own. I know it would take a lot of money to refinish it.
Great house. So sad 2 see it decay away. Good video, thx 4 sharing
The stone walls in the basement! Those beams ! I love this house.
awesome kappy another find loved the old boooks and an old radio stand i love antiques would be a beautiful bed and breakfast if i had the mooney id get it
Love this house. Wish someone had taken better care of it. The wood floors and the fireplaces were pretty in their day. Stay safe! Looking forward to your next old house. 🙋♀️
What a great tour, always interesting. So happy to have found this channel. Homes today are nothing like they use to be. 🍁🎈🌞
Nice! I hate seeing those wells open like that, I always think of an animal falling in and then can’t get out…✌🏼❤️
That’s what I was thinking! That needs something thrown on top to prevent that from happening.
@@janetyurkin822 yesss!
he could have put that floor furnace grid over that open well, would have been perfect…hate when they leave open wells.
Yeah. I always find plywood or something to cover it and put rocks over that so it doesn't fly off. Saves lives
@@ptaylor4923 actually that's MORE dangerous. After years it will give a false footing. Get covered with debris. Atleast being opened you can SEE it's a HOLE 😬 it's actually a cistern, not a well, most have footholds built in the walls of the ones I've seen.
Looks so much better inside…I never would have guessed it would be this decent from the looks of it outside 😮
Thanks Kappy! Absolutely loved this house…and some people were correct…good bones…love to know why abandoned. Even with upgraded heat…would have cost a lot to heat and cool. Someone asked why fireplaces were bricked up…because they sucked all the heat up the chimney, once not being used…they were a money waster.
Has been a beautiful home and 1 million more needed to make it grand again
That house has definitely seen better days.
What an amazing house!
The old wood cabinet radio wow.
Every time i see neat old abandoned houses like this, i think, "man if those walls could talk, the stories they would tell".
That was a pretty big house. A really nice place in its time. Great explore, thanks!
This old beauty was in sad shape, but no graffiti, and all the door hardware was not ripped off yet.
How about the dining room ceiling! Might it be cedar or cypress?
I really like this house a lot. I love the way the rooms are set up. I love the old style of the rooms. Too bad someone let the house deteriorate so much.
Shovel it out and roll up your sleeves! This beautiful old lady still has lots to offer to someone who’s not afraid of hard work.
Interesting Explore👍 some cool items in the House 🏡 😀
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks again for another remarkable explore.
I really like how there is only one window on the side walls of the fireplaces!!! Smart!
Would not have believed that there were areas still in such good condition. Isn’t it funny how the later additions seem to fail first. Would have liked to seen the kitchen. Pretty big house. Thanks as always for the tour. 98k subs. Almost there. ❤️
Thankyou so much, Kappy! I hope you can continue to find these faded beauties and document them. So many books in this one! I would be tempted to save a few.
My favorite urban explorer strikes again! Excellent work and another beautiful find. Thank you for sharing!
Nice old fireplaces in this one. I was wondering if you ever worry about the mold in some of these houses. Have you thought about wearing a respirator? Stay safe 🙏
Hey Kappy, thx for taking us along......beautiful old house! Just wonderin, when you call out, “hello! Anyone up there?” Has anyone ever answered you?😱😜
I agree with P Taylor. That turned staircase was the original as well as single room where everyone slept. They added onto the home as their wealth grew, hence the Federalist mantles and sparse trim. It's interesting how they plastered directly into the brick. The basement was pretty incredible as well. Nice find and great shooting Kappy!! Thank you.
