What a beautiful, very old home with those gorgeous fireplaces. I actually really like it when the house is uncluttered, hasn’t been updated, and bears the original paint. Thank you, Kappy!
I owned an 1897 Queen Anne, there was a secret compartment built into the linen press in the dining room. I was putting some table linens in it one day, I bumped the back of the compartment rearranging some napkins,and a door popped open. Unfortunately there was no stash of gold in there. It was such a cool discovery.😁
They had a separate structure for cooking in many of these old properties. In case of fire the entire house did not burn down. They did all the cooking and baking in beehive ovens , all open fire burning in huge Fireplace. It was dangerous. Many women in long skirts back in the day caught on fire. It was dangerous and very hot in summer time.
If walls could talk...these beautiful houses just left to decay, unloved and unwanted. You cannot recreate the craftsmanship and character of those eras. So sad..but it’s good to see that you care enough to document these beauties before we lose them forever.
I think that abandoned houses in general has a kind of mystery about them! Who lived there and why the place was abandoned in the first place. I am sort of fascinated when I watch your videos to see if the places had electricity ie electric sockets etc and viewing the faded decor. These old places has a kind of beauty about them, this is compared with some modern structures that are built today that lack character as they seem to look the same! This is compared with this Victorian structure in the video off which has great character, and it is a shame that so many seem to be left to rot! and most could be turned into comfortable homes. Finally, thankyou Kappy for giving me an opportunity in sharing these adventures!- RC - West Sussex, England
R Carter : A lot of places like these are old by the time the occupants age and are not able to keep up with maintenance. The grown children have homes and families of their own by this time and don’t want the expense of repairs. Then their widowed mothers or fathers die and the place is left, after certain items are taken out.
@@edithlewis9330 I can see a lot of what you are saying, and these are valid points, and many of the places cannot be saved for variety of factors with economics as a prime reason among many, but these places are America's heritage, and some structures should be saved if it is possible! Once these place go they have gone forever! I live in ancient small city in England that has retained its historical buildings. My home town has 2000 years of history stretching back to Roman Times. It has a 900 year Norman cathedral and has Georgian and Victorian buildings in its centre! with modern buildings and houses. There is an open air museum 12 miles away that have retained old buildings for people to see!
The outside of this house reminds me of my grandma's house. It was built before the civil war and generations of my family were born and passed away there and still live there to this day. It has been added on to and walls have been removed. I like that my family have kept up the house and I can feel the love there
Love when I see a new video from Kappy! I can almost imagine how bad that house smelled. Man oh man you got guts.....you go into places and walk on floors that I wouldn’t even dream of exploring! Omg the sound of those wasps! Yikes! As always, the nature scenes at the end......beautiful!
Thanks for sharing these old abandoned homes. I've seen all your videos and I noticed you've excluded most of the stair climbs. The stairs are the most intriguing next to the bathrooms and old fixtures. Can you at least give a screen shot of the stairs. Thank you and GREAT JOB!
Why do people watch this channel if they are just going to make negative comments? I binge watched through your videos and you have definitely improved over the years Kappy. Thanks!
Large house 😯 But no kitchen or bathroom, hmmm!! The wood work was beautiful!! The poop 😱 was abundant!!! Yikes 😳😲😨 Glad we can't smell it!!!!! Thanks Kappy for the tour 👍💯
Interesting place. Very plain simple trim detail, oddly stacked rooms that are not connected yet a servants quarters and a formal living room. That’s a head scratcher.
Back when this house was built they had slaves for domestic help. Huge plantations had cabins out back of main house , but smaller properties had a room or rooms for the slaves but separate from the family they cared for. They had separate staircase. Homes would have servants stairs to back of house. Family used main staircase. If homeowner had guests the servants stayed to back of house not to be seen. There was strict protocol depending on the owners wealth and status.
Another great find, Kappy!! Were my eyes deceiving me......no rosettes but it looked like the squares were carved alittle bit. Could be just peeling paint. Thank you Kappy for another great tour!
That was actually really neat! Doesn’t look like it was modernized much. Guess the kitchen and bathroom were outside. Maybe the section with the stone foundation was earlier? It’s amazing it is in as “original” condition as it is. Felt a bit like a living history museum. Awesome find. Thanks for sharing. You’re gonna hit 100k soon. I can feel it. ❤️
Its amazing to think of the condition of the house being so well preserved considering how long its been abandoned. Built to last and lots of attention to detail.
Dang.....I would love to know what they were thinking (or drinking) when that house was built!!! Imagine sitting in one of the upper rooms and needing something from the other upper room!!! “Hey ma, send that child to fetch....” hahaha! Love, love, love the houses you find Kappy!
Pretty cool house, I liked the arched doorway. Must have had glass in the fan over the door. Those baseboard compartments were interesting wonder what thier purpose was. Thanks, Kappy.
Another great find, Kappy! It looks like it was a pretty nice place back in the day! The landscape around the house was beautiful! The house was great, but the amount of raccoon poop was unreal so I can only imagine the smell! Yuck! Lol...I hope you have a great weekend!😊
Wow, cool home! The wood work was pretty, too bad the fireplace mantles were taken. I was surprised there was electric in the house. Thanks for sharing your explore, it was very cool! Stay safe Kappy!! Peace, Kim ~
I love this house! So old and historic! It looked like a lot of the materials were original. The woodwork inside was really solid and nice. I love those old spiraling, narrow staircases too. Looked in decent condition for being almost 200 years old. Must be the metal roof...keeping the house protected somewhat. Also those big towering chimneys on each side of the house, along with the wood siding and the houses age, make it certifiably bada$$ IMO! What a "rock" of a house! So raw and solid!!! The AC/DC of houses!!! Great peak into the past, great looking location too!!! Thanks!!
Omg! What an amazing house! Now my 3rd fav of your videos so far! The shoe in the eaves may be from former inhabitants. Common custom way back was to put one of your shoes in the attic or in the walls if the house was being built to ward off evil and protect the the people in the house. Never remove one of those shoes!
I really enjoy the old homes you explore. Some of them relly educate me, I'm a carpenter and I learn a lot about how they used to build the homes. This helps me I'm hired to remodel an old structure. I do have to say all your comments about the filth, the odors, the natural inhabitants, such as wasps, birds and your fear of all these things is absurd. If you have these fears why are you there?
No bathroom or kitchen? I suppose there was a detached kitchen that is long gone. Layout of the rooms in interesting. The paint colours and attention to detail is phenominal. From the wood trim over the doorways to the fireplace mantel, to the ornate front door, it's so awesome. This house was loved in its day.
I agree with an earlier comment that the house seems to have been added onto: I"m guessing that the front door in the middle started out as the front door at the and of the original front of the house and then the house was added onto.---I read Bill Bryson's book "At Home" and the author talked about how the interiors of early American houses were painted as colors and dyes became available. There were some colors and combinations we would find over-the-top today. This house seems to have have a variety of colors but they've faded so much we don't get a sense of how vivid, even "loud" they may have been.---That shoe in the first cubbyhole may have been left there for good luck. I don't recall exactly but there used to be a custom of putting shoes somewhere in a houses. When Abraham Lincoln's house in Springfield, Illinois was being worked on some years back a staircase or some steps that had been closed off was opened up again. Shoes from Abraham Lincoln and his sons were found inside, one shoe per step.
You have a really good camera it's always a clear picture. I see them extra wide doors and they where a lot more thicker than a modern door. One guy said his grandfather carved out a notch on the very top of his bedroom door where of course it couldn't be seen and every evening before he went to bed he would drop his wallet down the notch so nobody could get his money while he slept.
WOW! I just ordered some chalk paint and it is the color of the front hallway. That house was interesting. I liked the separate stairs to the servants room. First one I've seen like that.
My guess would be that it was a 2 family house. One side being that of the parents and the other either a son or daughter with his or her family. Did you see any remnants of a outside kitchen or bathroom? Another excellent video Kappy!
@@suzannesilvia3658 There is also another explorer from Adelaide Australia he goes by the name Urban Indigo and I also would suggest you give his videos a view . As he is also very good like Kappy . He always pays respect to the homes he visits and he rarely takes anything (he rescued some old coins , tins from gum , matches and can’t as well as an old campaign badge from a home ) which was already in the process of being torn down and the bulldozer was already knocking down walls so he rescued the antiques from being lost forever .
Not sure I could have gone through that house with that much animal mess. Awesome house, reminded me of my grandparents house in New England. It is over 300 years old.
What a peculiar old place. It looked like it must’ve been nice at one time, despite the lack of any bathroom or kitchen. Were there outbuildings at all? My thought was maybe they only had a separate kitchen and a separate outhouse.
What a great find! No sign of indoor plumbing. Looks like the kitchen/bathrooms were still outside somewhere but once a beautiful home back in the day. Curious as to why all the secret compartments. Thanks so much for sharing Kappy! Stay safe😊
Did anyone notice the baby shoe in the first cubby hole?? Might be more cubbies with valuables. I guess every house back then was customer built. What was that black box in first room? As always, great vid and love it. Peace Kappy.
That house was built at two different periods, but not that far apart in time.I would say the brick foundation part was built first. The corner stairway is a hangover from medieval times when homes were mostly small and space was at a premium. It's a go indication that part of the house was built first. When the own gained greater wealth they added on to the house on a grander scale. I did find it interesting that their was no entrance from the bed chamber in the older part to the stair hall.
Interesting place loved the door ways and how it was almost original to the way it was built ( no additions). Hope you wear covers on your shoes God only knows what all that mess was. I would wear the surgical shoe covers. Another fun watch thanks.
The windows on the outside are gorgeous. the arch is spot on. When I always see these houses I I think if I had the money I would move that wall, open that door way wider. Such a shame for these houses to go to waste like that from neglect. I liked this house, I bet it was really pretty but quaint too. ANd yes if only the walls could talk. thanks for the tour. lean on God
Hey kappy. How are you Great find sorry my computer is down I’m on my phone here wanted to. Tell ya this was a great awesome discovery. Hope to. See ya again soon take care and happy hunting
They didn't make accommodations for their children and their children's family back then. It would be servants quarters. I couldn't tell how big the opening was on the secret door, but alot of the secret rooms in the southern homes were to hide people. My sister's home had a secret door made into the tongue and groove wall that went almost unseen. It also had a narrow stairway off the kitchen with one large room for the servants. A doorway was made later on to connect it to the rest of the house.
Wish you had more colorful commentary in the context of each home, friend. Would make the videos a lot more relatable and interesting for people who love architecture and history! You’re getting better at it though, good job.
Beautiful wainscoting. Did you notice that the fireplaces without mantles had a row of header bricks between opening and top. Not decorative cause would have been covered with mantle. Structural? Seems odd they had electricity but no running water. Also odd that 2 parts didn’t connect. Hidden cubbies-Underground Railway? Great explore! Enjoyable and intriguing. Stay healthy!!!
I noticed someone comment that this house could have started out a little smaller and added onto a little later. I think this was the case with some old houses. I'm not sure about this one, but some were added onto when more kids/family came along and/or more wealth was acquired. It's sometimes very hard to notice if that had happened but it's definitely a possibility with old houses such as this one. Some additions you can clearly tell, some not so easy to tell. Interesting take by the other commenter and a good assumption.
This one strikes me a New England type of house. I really liked the front door. You had to watch your step in that house and not because of unstable floors.
Thanks very much. I love OLD houses, especially if there’s a possibility that the place could be restored ! I grew up in rural central Illinois. There were some impressive old homes peppered across the country side that had been vacant for years. I was determined to buy one of those old homes.when I became old enough. Now I’m old enough (retired) but the empty old homes are gone. Where did you find this old home?
What a beautiful, very old home with those gorgeous fireplaces. I actually really like it when the house is uncluttered, hasn’t been updated, and bears the original paint. Thank you, Kappy!

Prob used like a canning pantry..like a root cellar perhaps?
They had a separate structure for cooking in many of these old properties. In case of fire the entire house did not burn down.
They did all the cooking and baking in beehive ovens , all open fire burning in huge
Fireplace. It was dangerous. Many women in long skirts back in the day caught on fire.
It was dangerous and very hot in summer time.
I like the way they had a fireplace in every room keep them warm out there next to nobody
I love the simplicity of this old home .. So untouched and beautiful to me .. thank you !
If walls could talk...these beautiful houses just left to decay, unloved and unwanted. You cannot recreate the craftsmanship and character of those eras. So sad..but it’s good to see that you care enough to document these beauties before we lose them forever.
All of the staircases were intriguing!
Great house! No roof leaks or spray paint idiots. Unique floor plan and beautiful woodwork. Thanks!
You should do a video on how you started exploring and maybe even how you find these places! I would love to hear that

I am so glad there is not smell~o~vision.
I guess the kitchen was outside. Nice find.
Great job Kappy ♡
Me too, lolol that place was a big vulture nest now! Saw 2 fly out from it as we walked over too it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful house. I love stairs to attic spaces.
Why do people watch this channel if they are just going to make negative comments? I binge watched through your videos and you have definitely improved over the years Kappy. Thanks!
Beautiful Wood panels. Beautiful old house, if walls could talk, some great stories from the past.❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! I'm always amazed that the metal roof stands up so well after all the years! Just look how straight the roof line is!
What a strange house full of a lot of funk!! Thanks for braving the explore!! 😜
WOW What a beautiful view, poor old house but I bet it was fantastic to live there. Thank you Kappy
Really enjoyed your footage! You find the most awesome houses too show us. A plus ttheyre very old and with a big history!!!
Very cool house,
Thanks for the tour.

Completely agreed! Loved how original everything was still! Thank you very much!! (:
Its amazing to think of the condition of the house being so well preserved considering how long its been abandoned. Built to last and lots of attention to detail.
Seems was never painted over the original coloring, loved the blue and pink room upstairs,,,almost looks like chalk paint!
What a neat house. Thanks for another great explore.
Can you imagine all the life that house once had?
Dang.....I would love to know what they were thinking (or drinking) when that house was built!!! Imagine sitting in one of the upper rooms and needing something from the other upper room!!! “Hey ma, send that child to fetch....” hahaha! Love, love, love the houses you find Kappy!
The landlords probably didn't need anything from the other side.
That was an interesting house. Unusual layout
That look like a very nice house when it was new back in the days
Pretty cool house, I liked the arched doorway. Must have had glass in the fan over the door. Those baseboard compartments were interesting wonder what thier purpose was. Thanks, Kappy.
A very interesting old place, empty for a very long time by the looks of it.

Great videos! Please keep up the good work. It’s sad to see probably once beautiful homes now abandoned and crumbling.
That was one of the strangest places ever! Like one staircase per person🤷👍🙋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🧚Thanks Kappy!
You have a really good camera it's always a clear picture. I see them extra wide doors and they where a lot more thicker than a modern door.

For as old as it is and being abandoned, it's quite plumb. Someone took pride in his build.
Awesomeness, thanks Kappy. You’ll always get a thumbs up from me. 👍❤️😊

Neat small house that looks big lol! Love the nature shots at end! Beautiful!!! Thank you Kappy
Much appreciated!! Very unique layout for a house! Thank you for watching!
Have a nice weekend Kappy!
Interesting! No bratty vandals destroyed it. Thanks for documenting this house and plugging your nose since parts stunk to high heaven.
This is certainly a strange layout. I'm enjoying your videos and appreciate how you progress through these buildings.
I loved the house and the area looks so peaceful, thank you for sharing your great videos
Thank you very much!!
What a peculiar old place. It looked like it must’ve been nice at one time, despite the lack of any bathroom or kitchen. Were there outbuildings at all? My thought was maybe they only had a separate kitchen and a separate outhouse.
Cool old place. You really should have had a respirator.
Hey Kappy, nice old stinky house! No kitchen, no bathroom. No vultures, but they left something behind.😁😝💩👀
I wonder if that compartment was to store wood for the fireplace. Beautiful antique home.
Thankyou for showing us what would have been a very pretty house. You can see that it has 'good bones' even now. Did it have a good feeling to it?
Cool old house!
Loved the house, but I loved the view at the end.. that was amazing!
What a great find! No sign of indoor plumbing. Looks like the kitchen/bathrooms were still outside somewhere but once a beautiful home back in the day. Curious as to why all the secret compartments. Thanks so much for sharing Kappy! Stay safe😊
Beautiful unique house
Cool house great video
Did anyone notice the baby shoe in the first cubby hole?? Might be more cubbies with valuables. I guess every house back then was customer built. What was that black box in first room? As always, great vid and love it. Peace Kappy.
I wondered the same thing. Maybe it was an old telephone? Wish he'd taken a close-up of it. Stay safe, everybody.
That house was built at two different periods, but not that far apart in time.I would say the brick foundation part was built first.

I wouldn't like to be inside this house at night go back there at night time with a spirit box and a K2 meter . Thank you for your video 🐿️🌟
Interesting place loved the door ways and how it was almost original to the way it was built ( no additions). Hope you wear covers on your shoes God only knows what all that mess was. I would wear the surgical shoe covers. Another fun watch thanks.
Very nice! Sounded like voices as you came onto second landing on the owner side not the servant side.

Such a beautiful old home
Such a waste.
Kappy, you need a good flashlight for the dark rooms .That secret compartment was cool.
Sorry about that I had forgotten to change the batteries so was very dim! Thanks for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 It's no longer a secret compartment if it's shown.........lol
Hey kappy. How are you Great find sorry my computer is down I’m on my phone here wanted to. Tell ya this was a great awesome discovery. Hope to. See ya again soon take care and happy hunting

I'm from Brazil! I like this videos, you is Better
What a beauty this must have been!
We have lots of those in MD.
That's a Quaker house. The men lived in on side and the women live in the other.
Interesting house, I'm sure it was quite grand in its day! BUT, no bath room or kitchen? Odd! ...Newk from Kentucky
Wish you had more colorful commentary in the context of each home, friend. Would make the videos a lot more relatable and interesting for people who love architecture and history! You’re getting better at it though, good job.
Beautiful wainscoting. Did you notice that the fireplaces without mantles had a row of header bricks between opening and top. Not decorative cause would have been covered with mantle. Structural?
Seems odd they had electricity but no running water. Also odd that 2 parts didn’t connect. Hidden cubbies-Underground Railway?
Great explore! Enjoyable and intriguing. Stay healthy!!!
Underground railway or vent system that could create a draft and privacy as well between two parts of house.
Buzzard roost upstairs. Overall it has a lot of nice details with wainscoting and trim.
I noticed someone comment that this house could have started out a little smaller and added onto a little later. I think this was the case with some old houses. I'm not sure about this one, but some were added onto when more kids/family came along and/or more wealth was acquired.

Now I’m old enough (retired) but the empty old homes are gone. Where did you find this old home?
Traveling just any about any rural area down south from Virginia to Georgia and you’ll spot these beauties all over!
Best house yet..love it 👍
Love the front door❤
Ótimo vídeo amigo!!! Parabéns🙋♀️
FIRE wood storage area.
Cool house .
Looks like at one time it must have been very nice.
When you looked in the small door , there was a boot inside it. Then up in the top room was the mate to it, lol. That’s crazy, no kitchen ot
It was beautiful at one time
Where was the kitchen? This was once a wonderful house.
At 0.34 you can see the outline of a building that was attached, could have been a kitchen extension long ago pulled down.
Another great video Kappy. Do you ever get a creepy feeling in the houses you go into?
