- Hey house lovers and explorers!
This weeks video I take you through a 1915 craftsman style bungalow that is pretty much all still in it`s original condition all while decaying from neglect.
Hidden in the overgrowth of it`s former gardens this old gem is a very unique and quirky example of the Arts and Crafts movement that influenced federation era architecture here in Adelaide.
Terracotta and ornate chimney`s/leadlight/stucco rendering and an inventive floor plan stand out to me as more than just your standard bungalow.
This old girl unfortunately has not received the tender love and care required to stave off decay and foundation issues.............this seems to have lead to a date with the wrecking crew.....
Lots of old feature to see here so I hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Every time I see these abandon beautiful home I picture that once they were alive with family, people living their lives.. makes me sad when they tear them down. I see families sitting around the fireplace at Christmas time, or just enjoying the end of day.. memories still live there.
Well said Kathleen :-) That is a big part of enjoying exploring these old homes. imagining all the past lives and memories made in them. Cheers for watching :-)
I was going to say the exact same thing ❤
Exactly how I feel 😪 as my in-laws have house father in-law was born in 90+yrs ago, very similar to this but smaller.
Our first home was built in 1920. It had an area off the dining room that was a good-sized storage area with a step up into it & shelving on 3 sides. We assumed it had been meant for a china cupboard/dining linen storage. It filled the space over the stairs to the basement & was original, as the hardwood flooring continued into it. Since the kitchen was quite small, it was handy for larger pots and dishes, cleaning supplies and, well....junk!
I hope when the home is demolished, they save the fireplaces & the coloured windows, its lovely seeing these old buildings.
I would love to see this house being lived in again. An old house can't have too many memories...
Paul I really appreciate the architectural knowledge of each house that u have built up over the years which reveals your genuine interest and passion in this field 👍
Cheers for the support Julia and thanks for watching :-)
I really like the archways,it gives a kind of Spanish vibe.liked the kitchen as well.The property is nice except for the heavy traffic.👍❤️🇺🇸
I used to live next to a highway. I've been in the bush for over 10 years now but I could get used to the noise again lol
Hi Gayle :-) Yes the traffic was quite busy when I was there! lol Glad you enjoy the old gem, cheers for watching :-)
The house is bigger than it looked.It was a very nice home.Live the fireplace.,and the stained glasses.I hope they salvage the doors ,glass.etc.👍❤️🇺🇸
Hopefully the doors were not termite victims also Gayle! :-)
wow that fireplace mantle is stunning
Wow! I haven’t even finished watching this video yet and I can say that this one is speaking to me. From the front door with that beautiful pattern of glass to the gorgeous fireplaces, the light fixtures; all make me feel like I’ve been there in that time. But I’m sure it’s because of my memories of my grandparents home and the lovely style of that time period.
We sure do not see the craftsmanship that was put into these houses anymore.
I do hope that there will be a rescue of some of this amazing architecture and fixtures before it is demolished 2
I love this one! The only thing I would change is I would take out that last kitchen cabinet that overlaps the kitchen window. It's sad that someone can't come in and fill it with love again.
It would be lovely to bring this back!
First again - Greetings from Seattle!
Ah shucks, not the first🥴
I would if I had the money Marian, without a doubt. Cheers for watching :-)
Gorgeous mantles & leaded glass. Such a shame it wasn’t rescued a few years back. Thank you!
My grandparents owned a Craftsman Style home. I treasure the timeless treatment prevalent in each of them. "Updating" the look never did them justice.
I really liked that quirky little home, the fireplace mantles, the arches, the front door and windows all wonderful. Thanks Paul, cheers 💜☮️
So many cool features, mantle,hardware,door knocker,light fixtures an stain glass,beautiful old gem. Loved it. 😍
This one tugs at my heartstrings. So many beautiful architectural details. Hope someone can save them.
I think this is a neat house. With a lot of great details, like the doors and lamps. Are they bulldozing a lot of older homes, like this one. That some people would like to have. Just for money and making it to hard for people. To buy anything.
What a great treasure you found there, I fell in love. From the outside the house didn't look that big, the rooms themselves would be perfect. It's a shame that it's in such bad condition, a renovation would be a dream. There must have been an elderly person living there because of the handrails, who knows how long. The beautiful moments live on in the walls until it is demolished and takes the mystery with it. Sigh... goodbye beautiful lady 😍
Love the memories ❤️ these old homes have like to see 👀 things they left behind and always wonder what happened cheers 🍻 urbex always great 👍 video
Lovely old lady. I do hope that the stained glass windows and the light fixtures are saved. It would be a same not to preserve those treasures. Thanks for the video and take care.
I like the old 50's black light sockets and conical light shades, the plastic Garnite brand (Jack Thomo's dorm in movie Sunday too far away) had a yellow Garnite shade, I remember him flipping at the drunk for putting on the light in the wee hours, "TURN OFF THE LIGHT, YOU'RE A BLOODY ALCOHOLIC, F^*KING PISSPOT"
That was a beautiful old home! It’s a shame to see it go!
And I also wonder 🤔 what it was like when the people lived there awesome urbex cheers 🍻 man
Hi Paul,
I’d say the floor is termite damage as well. My heart is broken for this old girl. Such a shame she’s just incredible. Hope someone saves both the fire places I’d love these in my home what a beautiful piece of history. Even the light fixtures absolutely beautiful. I also hope the leadlight panels are saved . I’m absolutely devastated at how many beautiful historical home are being destroyed and demolished. Ps my Nans home very much the same with the outside exterior Finnish.
I love this house lots of character
Beautiful. Shame it's being demolished. That room with the mystery walk in could of been a formal or informal dinning room. That walk in could of been where they kept all the crockery, dinnerware, linen etc. Nice to see all the different eras it's been through are still evident. I'd love to have this place. You find the nicest old places. Thank you. Stay safe 🙏
Is dining, as in dining-room spelt differently in Australia, because I have noticed a lot of people in Australia seem to spell it with two 'n' s? In the U.K. we spell it with one 'n'. To me that makes it sound like a room for making a din, a noise in, rather than a room for eating in but it might be different with an Australian accent.
@@sarahstrong7174 it does hey. In school I used to get told off using one 'n" yet now days it's spelt with one 'n'. Confusing really 🙃
@@sarahstrong7174 its pronounced as 'dining' even with the two 'n'. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Amy :-) Yes that little door way and walk in is very curious and it adds to the originality of this quirky home :-) Very much a depiction of eras here. Cheers for watching Amy :-)
We are all convicts down here Sarah and cannot spell properly haha :-)
Love that door! Special touches!
It nice old house it great place live
it be cool redone and used and loved again
Urbex Indigo thanks for shraing this video with me about Abandoned- Hidden Craftsman bungalow! Original and quirky with old features everywhere! it wouldbe a good idea if it would be brought back any home would be worth saving my friend . i am from the U.S.A and i really enjoyed this video and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks.
I believe the front two rooms to be lounge dinning and the room with the built in robe to be the master bedroom going by the bedside table marks in the carpet👍
Someone needs to snag the windows, doors, fixtures, and fireplaces!!!! Holy moly😰😰😰
The windows......oh my!!!
Beautiful home, I would love to restore it and have an awesome home....Debbi from Western Australia. Take care 😁👍
this one was extra special
Very nice fireplaces and mantles
The emergence of styles from Federation to the Bungalow architecture, with the stained glass doors and windows, ornate fireplaces and high ceilings, characterise this charming old gem. The entry door leading into the long passageway was most likely the main entrance to inside the grandeur home. 🏡 If only this spacious bungalow was spared from destruction and would have been a restoration dream. Again a lovely explore of one of Adelaide's once lived in unique homes.
Hey Julz! Cheers for watching :-)
It is an amazing old home. What a treasure it could be!!
I agree, what a wonderful place :)
And the fireplace!!
These places shouldn’t
be torn down.
there are millions who
don’t have money
for food or any place to
call or own a home.
I LOVE THAT HOUSE
Wow, love this!
So do you, l can hear it in your voice.
Someone loved this house once ,you can see it in the little thing's that have been done.
It's a shame to loose it.
There's some great salvage here.
What a gem. The mantels were so beautiful. I hope they save all those treasures that was left behind.
Thank you again for sharing your time and video with us. I always look forward to them.
Bless you! 🌬💞
You are so welcome Snow Bunny :-) Many beautiful features this old gem still has to show. Thanks for watching :-)
That's what I was thinking---save the fireplaces, the windows, & the doors! They're gorgeous!
I wonder if they're going to be demolished with the house because of the termites, or if they could be rescued anyway.
lol
the lights, the windows, wood doors, and mantels are all class and beauty
I cannot get over how high the doorknobs are.
Great upload Paul . Thank you heaps
I really enjoyed this bungalow. Cheers!
I love the stained glass and arch door ways and hight ceilings. They give it so much character. I want to own it 😩 😫
Great explore and commentary as always Paul. 👍
Loved the stain glass windows, fireplace mantels and beautiful light fixtures. Hopefully they will be able to salvage some ot the features
Wow...what a gem. What a shame it can't be removed and set up in a lovely quiet position and renovated . Bring it back. So many treasures.
Love that fire place
A great character home, so much cool old stuff and features, if only this house was in top shape i'd love to move in. Thanks again for sharing, Cheers MM :)
Saw you on motorcyle /pulled over & vidoed it from road ,UK here..
Thanks for another great tour.
wow thats an old beautiful house i love the way you critique the houses you go to im loving these old homes
was a very cute house
Love the mantles so beautiful, if it goes back to 1915 that's WW1 .
I would like to know the original family's history that built this home and what happened
to them. Great find.
Hi Judy, I will do a follow up with the history :-)
This one was a definite WOW
"What's going on house lovers and explorers" ❤😁 Seriously, even if the house is beyond restoration - could the lovely mantles and chandeliers not be salvaged and sold on? There must be collectors out there that would love such period pieces to add to their own home renovations? Surely the house will not be bulldozed with all of these wonderful Original fixtures still inside? Thanks again Urbex Indigo for another wonderful explore 👍
Hi Sarah! :-) Yes usually the nice lead light features are saved and rehomed which is good. Glad you enjoyed this one, cheers for watching :-)
So glad you provide these wonderful videos as it's appreciating something from history, unfortunately not to be with us much more.
Very sad, thanks so much 👍
Adorable little cottage.Paul..real gem 💞.A little over grown in the front.yard ..the backyard was great ..just enough lawn to mow .🤩
The additions out the back could of had a make over to bring it into keeping with the rest of the home ..
Wonder what renovation costs would have been ?New kitchen . new piles etc
Sad loss to its era for it to be demolished ☹
One of the cleanest abandoned home ! Careful.
Love to acquire both front and side doors. Just screaming out for complete restoration and reinstallation in heritage appropriate home. 👍👍🇭🇲
Love the fireplaces and stained glass windows! Hopefully those could be removed before it’s demolished. Sad it’s being torn down.
Love it😍
My grandparents had a house very similar. Going by their layout, I’m thinking the side door was the original front door leading into a hall which was normal. The now front door would have lead onto an enclosed front verandah, that room being the front sitting room. Love love love these houses, not so the 70s add ons 😣
stuning
I'm with you, Paul. That was a WOW ... just loved it. Such a pity, but I think its time had come unless someone has very deep pockets. You disappointed me with the shed tho! 😄
Cheers Ken! :-) Yeah the shed was a let down hehe :-)
Reminds me of a funeral home.
I always try to picture the people who used to live in these places and think how sad they would be if they could see it now. Hello from Arizona USA 🌵
Makes me laugh how pretty much every explore is accompanied by loud and intrusive traffic noise! It always sounds louder down there lol. Great explore and loss of yet another lovely old place. It’s ridiculous. That split wallpaper with a dark stripe on the lower half with a border splitting a lighter top was de riguer in 90’s UK home decor lol. Thanks again fella.
I hope it can be brought back!! The mantle is amazing!! Along with the chandelier!
What a beautiful old house 🏚. It's too bad that it will be torn down. Thanks for sharing this video 📹.
Beautiful grand old lady! I can only hope that the salvageable parts and pieces will go on another similar home where they will be loved and well cared for. I personally loved the whole property and wished it could be restored although the cost will be great. Thank you for great tours like this. Keep up the great work!!
I hope some bits and pieces will be salvaged. Thinking of losing those mantels and light fixtures alone gives me palpitations! I'm pretty sure that odd closet area off the dining room is what's called a butler's pantry, but those interior shelves sure don't look original to the house. It's where you keep your table linens, large serving pieces, candle sticks and everything else that only gets hauled out on special occasions. I know young folks don't care much about such things, but back in the day, you made a statement having an everyday set of dishes and at least one other set of fine, fancy china, crystal, and silver for special occasions. If you lived in a large enough home to actually warrant having a butler, he would have keys to that room and for a silver safe and locks for other expensive items that went in the pantry.
100+ years, that's a good thing! 👍
Someone took great care of the place.
Good tour Paul! 👍👍👍
Be still, my heart! LOVE this tour. (But where is the fridge??? Haven't finished - may be addressed.)
Awesome explore Mr Indigo, love these style of houses, lived in one in subiaco back home
What a great house! That fireplace mantle was magnificent 👌.
Those giant sinks! Wow.
Thanks for the video!
Hello Paul I agree it should be brought back to life for more families to enjoy and living there it had great doors fireplaces and like you said the outside the yard is just the right size another beautiful home thanks for sharing love from upstate New York
the house must be really nice back then
Oh I would feel blessed to own that little home. You said it, a little gem. Good memories there I'm sure. Thank you again Paul, cheers! ☮️
I hope they save those mantles
I would love to save those kitchen cupboards.. But termites..
brilliant place paul looked so beautiful loved the old fire place mantels would have been a nice little bungalow to have lived and the coloured lead light windows were lovely it is such a shame it had been badly neglected and termits and white ants eating through door frames and studs i really liked everything about this old style bungalow thanks for sharing this one paul.
Cheers Peter! Glad you enjoyed mate :-)
🌟Aww just love our weekly hangouts together, I’m in love with the house already just looking at the outside and love all the interior damn I wish I could have gotten my hands on it another gem 💎 gone forever 😢. Thank you so much again ❤😊🌟:-)x
My pleasure Megan :-) Cheers for the support and for watching
@@urbexindigo5164 Always here for you x
Hi, Paul. Very nice home. The mantels and windows are beautiful. Yes, it would be great if someone were to restore it. Please do a follow-up on this one if possible. Thank you and take care. 😁
Hi Paul,
I like this house for a lot of reasons. All the stained glass in the doors and in the window
are simply beautiful. It has good size rooms. I think that room you called a sunroom
could have been their dining room. They have that open arch where they could pass
the dishes and food thru for meals. I think that small room was probably a pantry.
They could have put all of their canned goods and other food items in there. That other
room you thought was the dining room is not so near to the kitchen so that’s why I
don’t think it’s a dining area. There are beautiful fireplaces and mantles also. You
ask if this place can be saved I say no and that is because the house has termites.
You can’t see how extensive the damage is also there are cracks. One thing I don’t
like about this house is the front room that is a bedroom and the reason is you can
hear all the traffic outside. I think the last person or persons that lived here were
elderly. There are a lot of grab bars in the hall and in the bathrooms especially in the
bathtub and pretty much all over the house. They probably died and the house fell
into disrepair. I think if they could save it and that only a maybe they should save
this house. But the fence is up so it means their minds are made up to destroy it.
It’s a dirty shame and a waste. This was another great video Paul. You always go
into the homes with such love and care. I hope you have a great week and stay safe
and well.❤
Great comments Irene :-) Cheers for watching.
I think the room with the mystery door was a dining room and may have had a round table in the middle as there was a cross mark on the carpet which would be from the legs of a round table. The back room with the bricks is an unusual add on being quite small. Is a lovely house but the white ants could be through the whole home.
I love the fireplace mantel in the first room you showed us. I like this home, but the kitchen was too small for me.Too, narrow would of liked a little more wider. I would have made the sun room a part of the kitchen you could also have a dining room it there.
What a beautiful old bungalow The entry door and the fireplaces are so beautiful and the leaded glass too! Thank you for another great Explore.Greetings from Germany!
Thank you so much Beate :-) Cheers from Australia
What a beautiful house this would have been! Great video, I love hearing how excited you get!
Thankyou for sharing.
Borers in the Floors. Probably in wall cavity also.
Paul you ok,,,,,,
im in Beverly Hills Ca,,,,this bungalow it seems the folks who lived here didnt like change,,,, step back in time to an age of politeness,,,, and good manners,,,, that where my folks came from,,,,,,,, back in the day this place would have been a top design Bungalow expensive,,,,, the fitting are all top shelf
those fire surrounds are gorgeous ,,,, little if no alterations from new,,,, kitchen extension on the back maybe,,,,
been empty quite a long time pity make a good home for someone,,,,, instead knock it down and build a parkin lot !
here in Beverly Hills i know a guy does renovation building items,,,, around were i live Roxbury Drive most houses used to belong to the film stars of yesteryear, the one i live in did
here nostalgia is a high priority (keeping up with the Joneses)
garden-parties old biddies with purple hair rinses driving
Rollers or Bentleys....
ol guys squeezing into Lambos Bugatti with hair pieces flappin in the wind im an old guy but i ain't one them
ok Paul catch ya on the next one Ed
Lucille Ball lived on Roxbury!
@@kategulick4781 Yes she did and made a lot of alteration to the house,,,,,Ed
I think that cupboard in the dinning room would have been for china, crystal, table clothes, napkins serving dishes etc.
You are brave, stamping on the floor in that house.
Yes the termites have really gone to town in this one unfortunately Sarah, thanks for watching :-)
Great Paul did you spot the chimney in the laundry in the corner by the toilet wall ..and the footprint around it where the brick copper once stood next to the trough....the stack and pot are still there on the roof for this...
What a beautiful old gem! For a house that is so overgrown outside it was amazingly in good shape inside and some beutiful features still left in tact. I don't think the fire set was original to the home. I think the original ones would have been wrought iron.
I’m with you on this one mate definitely would love to own one of these majestic bungalows. We find so many of them and just wish we could grab them and do them up but that takes lots of money 😢this was a awsome explore mate cheers for the walk around
Cheers Werner! :-) Yeah many nice bungalows have been demolished. WHy cant we have one!!!!! lol :-)
I would like to see it save
