I don't understand, if it's on the Historical Register why wasn't money put into fixing the roof before everything collapsed? What a crying shame. This place was absolutely magnificent in the day. The little details are beautiful; the door lock covers, plasterwork, woodwork, everything was masterfully done. Glad Mr. Buntline (fascinating character, I'll enjoy learning more about him) at least got 15 years in the place but it sure is sad that it was let go. Thanks for showing us such an interesting and beautiful building, Kappy, and for giving me a fun rabbit hole as I learn more about Mr. Buntline.
@@melissah4515 Thank you!! Yes indeed Mr buntline lived quite a life!! He actually has books written about his adventurous life!! Much appreciated for the kind words and watching!! :)
It really is! Especially knowing that the neighbors made offers 30 years ago and were turned down. Now it’s really in its final days sadly! Thank you for watching! :)
I agree and I think the city should be held accountable for its restoration if the family can't. It would be an outstanding B&B or tourist attraction. Historical homes should never be allowed to waste away. Our society only cares about newer buildings that bring nothing to the table (except a little revenue) which is not important in the scheme of things. It hurt my heart to watch this travesty 😢
What a shame to see such a beautifully detailed heritage home crumbling away to nothingness. The giant stone fireplace in the carriage house is amazing! Thanks for the tour.
What a wonderful place this was. Hard to believe people with money didn't keep this house going on to be livable. Those fireplaces in 2nd place were mind blowing. What a shame America is fading away like these places. Great job kappy
Thanks Kappy for showing what you could of this once amazing beautiful old house. From what we could see it was it was once very ornate and beautiful. So sad it's rotting and collapsing.
Can you just imagine how wonderful this house looked back in its day ? This is so sad that it was just left to rot and wasn't cared for, when it is a historical sight. I don't understand why there wasn't money set aside for it to have been saved before it got in this unsalavageable condition. I wonder who lived in it after the author passed away. I bet he sat out on the front porch to do his writing sometimes. Or maybe in an upstairs room with the windo rased up for a summer breeze to come in blowing the curtians gently. And the sun coming in and shown on a desktop he was writing on... And you could hear the birds sining in the background outside... I wonder if he smoked a pipe as he was thinking and writing his stories down ? Thank you Kappy for a beautiful, forgotten find. And thank you for the vedio of this house. Take care out there and stay safe !!🤗
Absolutely STUNNING! So sad that it’s on the register and no one would step up and take care of it. I really hate this. The woodwork and carvings are beautiful. Thanks Kappy for another gorgeous find. Stay safe! 😊
I can only imagine how that house looked in the 1870`s with all the Victorian furniture in it. It must have been stunning. The ceilings and trim around the doors and windows are way above average. I loved that rounded front door. Such a shame to see it like this. You`re right Kappy, it is heartbreaking.
Completely agreed! Especially being the house of a pretty well known author in the 1800’s! Really is a shame! Wish I could’ve gotten there before stairs collapsed! Thank you for watching! :)
Was a beautiful house Kappy. Whoever owns it should've sold those medallions and that old knoll post so it could be used in another home, those are beautiful pieces of craftsmanship wasting away.
I bet those sliding pocket doors opened into his study back in that time Kappy. What a beautiful old home and a shame it's historical but just left to go to ruins. Thank you dear Kappy for another wonderful adventure!
While that was captivating to see, it’s also heartbreaking that there was no one to keep it from falling into demolition by neglect. Thank you, Kappy for another amazing adventure!
Now, I am not familiar with New York State Laws, but I am absolutely SHOCKED AND SADDENED that this beautiful Mansion built in 1871 that is supposed to be "protected" by being on the National Historic Registry and it has just been left to rot😲☹😮😢😢????? Now I do not live in New York, but for example my Church that was built in 1919 is also on the National Historic Registry and I was told it was "protected"!!!!! I wonder if legal action could be presented to the individuals for SEVERE neglect of a protected property that is a New Empire Mansion owned by an American Author under the National Historic Registry 🤔🤔? However, I do appreciate that you have taken us along with you exploring this beautiful Mansion🤗🤗!! I so LOVE the door key hole with doorknob, the beautiful entry door, beautiful ceiling plaster medallions, the fireplaces, the Sun Room ( despite the graffiti artist), and the backroom that might have been a "Summer Kitchen" back in 1871 to 1886 with what looks like some of the original pantry cupboards🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤!!!! And although the Carriage House was converted into a more "modern" home, I do LOVE the pinkish bedroom with the multi-colored quilt 1970s looking chair💖💖💖, the train postcards on the wall❤❤❤, @ 18:54 the possible antique desk with drawers along with display case❤❤❤ and I have an antique desk that belonged to my Late Great Aunt with the same looking display case that I use in my Apartment kitchen as a breakfront!!! And I so LOVE the view from the Carriage House looking at the babbling brook and forest🤗🤗💙💙💙💙💙!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these treasures and preserving them with your videos💯💯💯💯💯!!! It is so fun to explore these abandoned treasures and even though they have been profoundly left to rot, their beautiful can never be erased!!!!
What I wouldn’t do to have seen this house in it’s day. It is absolutely stunning. That front door is beautiful. The French doors out to the sun room, beautiful. So so sad, it just breaks my heart. Thanks Kappy for this find, enjoy your weekend my friend! 🌻
So sad to see a historical home like this left to rot. Imagine the grandeur of this house when it was built. It bespoke of America's wealth and bounty. How blessed with richness we were, and then we threw it all away and see the decay and death of American society. This is because we turned away from God. Anyhow, the walnut Victorian Eastlake dresser beside the mattress also is a beautiful piece of furniture to restore, however, the mirror is probably long since broken. However, there's a LOT of furniture in the rough that could be saved and restored. I did this during the late 80s up until about 2004. Thank you for bringing this video to us Kappy. Blessings.🙏
Considering he had 7 wives and 9 children it seems like someone would have inherited this property and made a go of it! The main house was lovely but the carriage house was really something! Would have loved to have seen more of each upstairs room and the wallpaper - and the couch off the bar room appeared to maybe be same fabric as curtains in back hall to the staircase. Such a lot of decor effort! Loved this tour- thank you Kappy! And please: more time to glimpse wall paper and fabrics!
Bummer the staircase collapsed, bet it was beautiful. So sad this house is rotting away. I bet it won't be up much longer. Carriage House was in way better shape. Nice! Another gem Kappy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! This is the epitome of a damned shame. I love that you also see the beauty in these homes. This one is so sad. Why wasn’t it saved is the big question. Thanks for the tour Kappy.
What beautiful ceiling medallions! This house was a showpiece in it's day. The enclosed sun room, the front vestibule....so many impressive touches. But, Kappy, this was a dangerous explore for you. We subscribers want you in one piece!
Loved the woodwork, plaster walls, solid doors etc. Those medallions were really nice too. So much character in these old homes! This is a pretty unique house. Location seems nice too. 👍
I truly appreciate your long establishing shots on these videos. Sad to see such exquisite details from the past in such decay. Thanks for the video archives...
Some of the upstairs? still looks pretty good. I can imagine that this place was beautiful, I see a lot of beauty in the building. Too bad people let things fall into disrepair, but I think everything can be fixed. Amazing find, thank you.
The decay is so sad, but it is mesmerizing to look at!💫 I absolutely love the plaster work! It always seems so strange when you see a staircase is falling, because usually that's the one thing that has lasted. Great video!
Agreed! Stairs usually hold up so well! Unfortunately the second empire mansard roof really did this one in from lack of roof maintenance! Water pools up in the center with the roof so flat! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
What a beautiful old house. It's so sad to see it in such bad condition. That sun room must have been so wonderful back in the day. Thank you Kappy for another great tour.
If only we could go back 150 years and see the house in its prime. There were still so many beautiful features to appreciate, I loved the front doors and the medallions, my favourite was the sunroom. That was simply stunning!!
Thank you for risking life and limb to show this amazing home. His actual given name was Edward Zane Carroll Judson, and he was quite the ladies man... Lol. But he is in my ancestry line so this was amazing for me to see. Thank you for what you do!!!!
On the Historical register and allowed to get into this state.Sad.I wonder about people going into these places alone,and getting hurt.I hope you have someone go along with you.
Anytime anyone goes to Antique stores you can buy those long hanging lights on ceilings use them for holding candles just like these in the front door. P.S. do NOT! connect to electricity.
What an absolutely beautiful home. The tails are amazing…and everywhere! Even the wallpapers were gorgeous. You said it, Kappy…”heartbreaking” that this one was left to become a ruin. This was a dream house. Thank you Kappy! I really loved this house!
I didn't get notification,just thought about I hadn't saw Kappy post today, turned out to be a good explore,more saw than thought could be in main house ,then bonus carriage house ,really great
What an incredibly stunning home. So many features that could not be duplicated today. So sad that this home was not better maintained to last another 150 years. Thanks for sharing.
That's a house l would've loved to have seen restored to its original state. Empire style? The carriage house is Dutch Colonial, so wonder when it was built? Excellent as always, Kappy. Thanks!
I really appreciate that! Have some other cool ones like this on the way where I can share the full history of it! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Ty Kappy 4 another great adventure! Was a beautiful home, 2 bad that guy wasn't able 2 buy it, sad. So it rotted. I also enjoy ur nature vids @ the end! Ty 4 ur hard work, much appreciated! Stay safe out there.
Absolutely beautiful….so sad it’s not been taken care of and restored. If you can’t take care of it or afford it, give it away…. The design and custom work ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah the carriage house in the back could definitely still be saved if done in enough time! Had some interesting remodeling! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This magnificent home is such a heartbreaker. It's just so sad to see it neglected and left to rot. I gotta say it has a classic haunted house look to it. 5 stars for the awesome porch, the arched entrance, the medallions on the ceiling, the woodworking and fireplaces. The view from the surrounding area is just beautiful and to have such a great sunroom and porch to view everything. The carriage house is sweet. I love the stone work, fireplaces and the solid timbers and construction. Having that flowing creek is definitely a bonus. Sadly there isn't really any hope of restoration of either house which is why it's such a heartbreaker. Do you know how long it's been abandoned? It would have been cool to see the date of the newspaper that was behind the wallpaper. Newspaper was used back in the day as a sort of insulation. It didn't do a whole lot but did cut down on wind blowing through the walls. Such a great explore Kappy, I can't wait for the next one. 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The newspaper date was actually January 1946! Pretty incredible! You can see it along the side of the paper!! Great observations!! Completely agreed! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 How cool is that... 78 years ago. The world was a much different time back then. Thanks Kappy, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your adventures 🤠👍🏻
Wow. What a shame. So many years and no one wanting to invest in the old girl. Stuffed her full of storage items, and now she's just wasting away. The carriage house looked like a bunk house for workers? 🤷♀️ Nice find Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
This video made me so mad (not at you Kappy) but the fact that a house that is on an historical register was left to just rot and decay. Shame on whoever lets that happen. An even bigger shame is they were both once beautiful homes.
It's definitely unfortunate to see the poor condition of the main house. At least the carriage house was still in relatively good condition. Being historic and being on a registry nowadays sadly doesn't mean anything, because money talks in the end.
Such a devastating loss, this home was absolutely gorgeous!! Would have been incredible in its day!! Thank you for this explore!! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
What a great house. Loved the arched front doors and the entryway with patterned glass. Wish we could have seen it in its heyday. Thanks for an interesting house, Kappy.
Owning a home on the historic register should come with rules to be lawfully followed. Otherwise, what is the point? These old homes are not for everyone as they need an enormous amount of upkeep and money. This situation is so very sad.
Writers tried telling and showing of the wild west.. like The Cowboy Artist..who drew art of the west.. y'all should read up on Him..u kappy just like a writer trying to keep history shown and told about.. through videos.. I love the western days..Custer.. mountain men..Jim Bridger..Hugh glas..yea this house should have been saved for history cause like so many others.. they lost in time.. thank u for sharing this
Thank you Kappy, wonderful video as always ! I was wondering, how come the carriage house is in better condition than the main house? Also, is the background noise in the video from traffic in that area?
Mostly likely because of its roof! That second empire mansard roof of the main house basically start building a pool up in the center if you don’t maintain it with how flat it is! Which is why the central staircase is gone and other rooms okay! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thanks Kappy for showing us both of these beautiful homes.I can't believe the main house is on the Historical Register and they let it just rot away.I love reading the wonderful history of this guys life.I can.t wait for the next one.🥰
He really did live an interesting life with many wives and adventures lol! I actually got a book about him and it’s very fascinating! Thanks for watching!! :)
That newspaper you found stuck to the wallpaper in one of the upstairs room. I wonder if he could have had it done that way for added insulation between the wall and wallpaper ??? You sometimes would see homless people laying on benches with newspapers covering them up when they didn't have blankets. Just a thought !!
Interesting thought! It was definitely done by one of the owners!! If you pause the video at 14:06 you can see a date along the right side of it reading January 1946! So probably right after ww2! Good thinking!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I don't understand, if it's on the Historical Register why wasn't money put into fixing the roof before everything collapsed? What a crying shame. This place was absolutely magnificent in the day.

@pinchependejo-iy8le What a great idea! My son just got a 3D printer, I'll bet you could recreate it with something like that.
America is such a wasteful nation
@@zackschooley5858 We take too much for granted and are soft and spoiled.
@@melissah4515 Thank you!! Yes indeed Mr buntline lived quite a life!! He actually has books written about his adventurous life!! Much appreciated for the kind words and watching!! :)
Very interesting houses
It's a crying shame nobody restored this house.
You provide the money and I'm sure somebody will restore it😅
Funny how nobody wanted to invest the $250,000+ with a likely endless sea of issues along the way to get it liveable and up to code. 😂
It really is! Especially knowing that the neighbors made offers 30 years ago and were turned down. Now it’s really in its final days sadly! Thank you for watching! :)

@JustAnAverageWoman69 I'm talking about when it could have been restored.It's way too far gone now and has been for years, I'm sure.
What a shame to see such a beautifully detailed heritage home crumbling away to nothingness.
The giant stone fireplace in the carriage house is amazing!
Thanks for the tour.
The craftsmanship and decorative work is so stunning!! Too bad no one saved this amazing home and property!! Thank you for documenting this Kappy👍😎
Completely agreed! So beautiful still inside with what’s left! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
What a wonderful place this was. Hard to believe people with money didn't keep this house going on to be livable. Those fireplaces in 2nd place were mind blowing. What a shame America is fading away like these places. Great job kappy
Thanks Kappy for showing what you could of this once amazing beautiful old house. From what we could see it was it was once very ornate and beautiful. So sad it's rotting and collapsing.
Who would have not wanted to save this beauty 😢

Thank you Kappy for a beautiful, forgotten find. And thank you for the vedio of this house. Take care out there and stay safe !!🤗
It's sad that a historically significant house is abandoned like that. Yet the carriage house is in wonderful shape.
Absolutely STUNNING! So sad that it’s on the register and no one would step up and take care of it. I really hate this. The woodwork and carvings are beautiful. Thanks Kappy for another gorgeous find. Stay safe! 😊
Really is heartbreaking! Such a sad end for a historic old house!! Wish i could’ve gotten there sooner! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This one bummed me out, too. At least there was enough left to see what it once was.
It blows my mind how such beautiful houses are left to rot. I don’t understand this there should be a log against that.
Waste of a beautiful home in a beautiful area. So glad you got to film this before its gone. Thank You Kappy
Me too! Only wish could’ve gotten there sooner and showed upstairs!! Thanks for watching!! :)
I can only imagine how that house looked in the 1870`s with all the Victorian furniture in it. It must have been stunning. The ceilings and trim around the doors and windows are way above average. I loved that rounded front door. Such a shame to see it like this. You`re right Kappy, it is heartbreaking.

This one is a heart breaker! A once proud beauty and now before restoration.
Thanks for showing us Kappy!
What a shame. I can still see the beauty this house once was.
Very very sad. So beautiful!
Agreed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Was a beautiful house Kappy. Whoever owns it should've sold those medallions and that old knoll post so it could be used in another home, those are beautiful pieces of craftsmanship wasting away.
So eerie feeling
I bet those sliding pocket doors opened into his study back in that time Kappy. What a beautiful old home and a shame it's historical but just left to go to ruins. Thank you dear Kappy for another wonderful adventure!
While that was captivating to see, it’s also heartbreaking that there was no one to keep it from falling into demolition by neglect. Thank you, Kappy for another amazing adventure!
That front door is stunningly beautiful! And the slate exterior! Wow!
Loved the slate design!! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Thanks , He was a fascinating guy . Water always wins in the long run . What a beautiful house at one time .👍 Much can be still saved , doors , trim .

7 wives and 9 children! Dear Lord! Lololol 😂
Gosh Kappy. That FRONT DOOR WAS GORGEOuS!
It's a shame. People that do remodeling can reuse SOME of that stuff,before it got this bad.People just rather see that stuff go to waste.
Bummer the staircase collapsed, bet it was beautiful. So sad this house is rotting away. I bet it won't be up much longer. Carriage House was in way better shape. Nice! Another gem Kappy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG. That old brick is gorgeous. What a beautiful lady she was in her day.
I definitely got a good vibe from the carriage house. It looked very cozy. Thanks for sharing, Kappy!
Wow! This is the epitome of a damned shame. I love that you also see the beauty in these homes. This one is so sad. Why wasn’t it saved is the big question. Thanks for the tour Kappy.
My favorite Second Empire architecture!!
Love the second empire style as well! So pretty! Thank you for watching!! :)
What beautiful ceiling medallions! This house was a showpiece in it's day. The enclosed sun room, the front vestibule....so many impressive touches. But, Kappy, this was a dangerous explore for you. We subscribers want you in one piece!
Those ceiling medallions were magnificent, staircase beautiful too. What a waste. Thanks, Kappy!
The moldings really are incredible!
Loved the woodwork, plaster walls, solid doors etc. Those medallions were really nice too. So much character in these old homes! This is a pretty unique house. Location seems nice too. 👍
I love the Red Brick on the fireplace !!
Me too! Thank you for watching!! :)
I truly appreciate your long establishing shots on these videos.
Sad to see such exquisite details from the past in such decay. Thanks for the video archives...
I live in an 1871 victorian farmhouse! so interesting to see other styles built in that same year...
Some of the upstairs? still looks pretty good. I can imagine that this place was beautiful, I see a lot of beauty in the building. Too bad people let things fall into disrepair, but I think everything can be fixed. Amazing find, thank you.

I love the glass cabinet! I want it. So sad stuff is just left to rot.
Thanks Kappy for the tour. From Tennessee
What a beautiful old house. It's so sad to see it in such bad condition. That sun room must have been so wonderful back in the day. Thank you Kappy for another great tour.
If only we could go back 150 years and see the house in its prime. There were still so many beautiful features to appreciate, I loved the front doors and the medallions, my favourite was the sunroom. That was simply stunning!!
What a lovely home this must have been! So much light. I can imagine curling up with a good book in the sunroom.

Granted, it was a beautiful home at one time and that carriage house still have old logs in it. Cool.👍
On the Historical register and allowed to get into this state.Sad.I wonder about people going into these places alone,and getting hurt.I hope you have someone go along with you.
Anytime anyone goes
to Antique stores you
can buy those long
hanging lights on ceilings
use them for
holding candles
just like these
in the front
door. P.S. do NOT!
connect to electricity.
What an absolutely beautiful home. The tails are amazing…and everywhere! Even the wallpapers were gorgeous. You said it, Kappy…”heartbreaking” that this one was left to become a ruin. This was a dream house. Thank you Kappy! I really loved this house!
Wow, I’m always blown away by your finds, but this one! And with such neat history too! What a literal representation of a dying era
I didn't get notification,just thought about I hadn't saw Kappy post today, turned out to be a good explore,more saw than thought could be in main house ,then bonus carriage house ,really great
Good old TH-cam! Not telling my subscribers I posted a video! Glad you checked! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Once a beautiful place now written off.
What an incredibly stunning home. So many features that could not be duplicated today. So sad that this home was not better maintained to last another 150 years. Thanks for sharing.
Completely agreed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
That's a house l would've loved to have seen restored to its original state. Empire style? The carriage house is Dutch Colonial, so wonder when it was built? Excellent as always, Kappy. Thanks!
Wow!! You can really see the former grandeur , and how cool this place once was.
Thanks Kappy!! So incredibly sad but beautiful! Always enjoy your discoveries.
Sad ones. Both were special in their day. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching! :)
Thank you for another great video. Always look forward to your discoveries.
I really appreciate that! Have some other cool ones like this on the way where I can share the full history of it! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Imagine how much time ,effort and money went into making this house a home back in the day 😮
Its a shame to let these houses rot! The front door, the entry light fixture, doors & sunroom windows could all be repurposed. What a waste.😥
Ty Kappy 4 another great adventure! Was a beautiful home, 2 bad that guy wasn't able 2 buy it, sad. So it rotted. I also enjoy ur nature vids @ the end! Ty 4 ur hard work, much appreciated! Stay safe out there.
Glad you enjoyed! In your home state as well haha! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Urbex Exploring with kappy thanks for sharing this video about the old amazing house and thanks again and God Bless.
Absolutely beautiful….so sad it’s not been taken care of and restored. If you can’t take care of it or afford it, give it away…. The design and custom work ❤️❤️❤️
That INCREDIBLE stone fireplace in the carriage home! 😯
Thank you Kappy! 😊
Kinda treacherous, but you got er' documented 🤗
Love the carriage house I would have loved to live there
Such a shame this house couldn't be saved. It must have been stunning back in the days. Thanks Kappy for this beautiful explore and stay safe ❤🇨🇦👍
Wow 🤩. Thank you Kappy
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Love the channel Bro
Thanks for watching!
Even though this is really about to collapse it was absolutely beautiful back in the day.
Thank you for the video
Thank you for watching!!! :)
Beautiful house i wish someone would have save it but there hope for the carriage house that one can be saved great video kappy.
Yeah the carriage house in the back could definitely still be saved if done in enough time! Had some interesting remodeling! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This should be a little museum! What a shame!
Excellent find Kappy.

It didn't do a whole lot but did cut down on wind blowing through the walls. Such a great explore Kappy, I can't wait for the next one. 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The newspaper date was actually January 1946! Pretty incredible! You can see it along the side of the paper!! Great observations!! Completely agreed! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 How cool is that... 78 years ago. The world was a much different time back then. Thanks Kappy, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your adventures 🤠👍🏻
Wow. What a shame. So many years and no one wanting to invest in the old girl. Stuffed her full of storage items, and now she's just wasting away. The carriage house looked like a bunk house for workers? 🤷♀️ Nice find Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
The neighbor told me the carriage house was converted into a lodge or some type hotel briefly but didn’t last very long! Thanks for watching!! :)
Thank you for this video! It’s an awesome place! Lots of rooms! I live near Catskill Mountains and it’s just beautiful and peaceful here!
My favorite area of New York! Love it!! I’m jealous of you! Thanks for watching!! :)
I love these house you do more
Amazing place, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Hey Kappy. Loved these 2. Great wallpaper all around. Thanks. ✌️
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This video made me so mad (not at you Kappy) but the fact that a house that is on an historical register was left to just rot and decay. Shame on whoever lets that happen. An even bigger shame is they were both once beautiful homes.
It's definitely unfortunate to see the poor condition of the main house.
At least the carriage house was still in relatively good condition.
Being historic and being on a registry nowadays sadly doesn't mean anything, because money talks in the end.
Such a devastating loss, this home was absolutely gorgeous!! Would have been incredible in its day!! Thank you for this explore!! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Wow!! Those old timbers in the carriage house are sooo cool!!!
What a great house. Loved the arched front doors and the entryway with patterned glass. Wish we could have seen it in its heyday. Thanks for an interesting house, Kappy.
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
So sad, what a beautiful house it was.2nd house is really nice and could still be saved.
Owning a home on the historic register should come with rules to be lawfully followed. Otherwise, what is the point? These old homes are not for everyone as they need an enormous amount of upkeep and money. This situation is so very sad.
Writers tried telling and showing of the wild west.. like The Cowboy Artist..who drew art of the west.. y'all should read up on Him..u kappy just like a writer trying to keep history shown and told about.. through videos.. I love the western days..Custer.. mountain men..Jim Bridger..Hugh glas..yea this house should have been saved for history cause like so many others.. they lost in time.. thank u for sharing this
I couldn’t catch the authors name, Ned , but what was the last name?
I love your content. I also like the after scenes you show of random areas. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed! Just like to include some nature shots I find pretty along my travels, to end the videos! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you Kappy, wonderful video as always ! I was wondering, how come the carriage house is in better condition than the main house? Also, is the background noise in the video from traffic in that area?
Mostly likely because of its roof! That second empire mansard roof of the main house basically start building a pool up in the center if you don’t maintain it with how flat it is! Which is why the central staircase is gone and other rooms okay! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Beautiful. Sure wish someone would give this place the potential it has
I did google Mr. Buntline (his pseudonym).Totally fitting for him to reside in this fascinating house! 👍👍
Right! Very fitting! Thank you for watching!! :)
This is beyond sad! This old house should be kept up! ❤️😢👍🤘
Thanks Kappy for showing us both of these beautiful homes.I can't believe the main house is on the Historical Register and they let it just rot away.I love reading the wonderful history of this guys life.I can.t wait for the next one.🥰
He really did live an interesting life with many wives and adventures lol! I actually got a book about him and it’s very fascinating! Thanks for watching!! :)
Legends of the Old West podcast has the story of Ned Buntline. VERY interesting character!
That newspaper you found stuck to the wallpaper in one of the upstairs room. I wonder if he could have had it done that way for added insulation between the wall and wallpaper ??? You sometimes would see homless people laying on benches with newspapers covering them up when they didn't have blankets. Just a thought !!
Interesting thought! It was definitely done by one of the owners!! If you pause the video at 14:06 you can see a date along the right side of it reading January 1946! So probably right after ww2! Good thinking!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
