    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.

      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 😢

    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 !!🤗

    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.

    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!!!!

    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!

    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!! :)

    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!! :)

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @urbanexploringwithkappy1773
      @urbanexploringwithkappy1773  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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!! :)

    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 !!

    • @urbanexploringwithkappy1773
      @urbanexploringwithkappy1773  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!! :)
