When my grandparents died in 1995, their house was a time capsule of 1965. Depression-era people were not spendthrifts like today's gimme gimme throwaway mentality. They made do by taking care of their existing furniture, and paneling the plaster walls when inevitable cracks appeared from house-settling. Its too bad the roof and windows went on this one; the banister alone is worth salvaging. I don't think the world needs one more shopping mall, but its proof of today's consumer excess. Glad to find reassurance on here that people still like old things.
Owen Cowan you know what I hate? When you go on Zillow cause you’re bored and you look at the oldest houses in the center of town and the inside has been completely updated with the latest trendy stuff and so gutted and done over, you could be standing in a house built it the last ten years for all you know. Recessed ceiling lights, plain straight white walls, modern tile. Shiny modern kitchen blegh!
@@banjopickerinadoublewide7613 You left out the requisite Island, stainless-steel prison-facility type fridge and stove and of course, an "open floor plan." There was a reason we didn't want visitors to see the entire house when they walked in the front door, and "Messy kitchen" is at the top of the list.
I miss my Irish grandmother, "Did I tell you we fed the WHOLE family on one potato?". Those folks who have gone were real good people, I miss em, but I'm glad they dont have to see things go the way they are. Take care everyone. Thanks Kappy.
I absolutely LOVE the furniture in the living room!!!! When you said, someone must have liked antiques, I was thinking, they probably weren't antiques when they bought them. They probably bought them new.
Always enjoy your videos Kappy . There was a time my father and I explored abandoned houses in the late 70s early 80s . He has passed on and I am getting on in years myself to do it safely but I can live vicorously through you and your videos . Stay safe .
Another nice explore. I agree with the other commenters furniture and clothes seemed 60s. TV’s 60s and 70s. People used to go door to door selling those sets of encyclopedias. The residents really couldn’t afford them but would buy them and hang onto them forever. We had a second hand set. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I love that old place. I could almost see the kids running down the stairs on Christmas morning. Not flashy or fancy, just comfy feeling. I'd love to find an old farmhouse, I could redo. Thank you so much for all the places you show us. Love your explores, love your calming voice, love how you respect the places you go.
As usual, regardless of the season, one of my first thoughts upon seeing a living room in these places is, "I wonder where they put their Christmas tree?" I'm betting they put it in the middle of that bay." (I have such happy family memories that I equate everything with the way my folks made everything *special.)*
Awesome find Kappy!! Love the fireplace mantle!! Yeah, a lot of that furniture looks to be 50's and 60's style of furniture. Those old steamer trunks are a cool find!! That one that is huge is probably from this person's family coming to America for a new life in the 1800's to early 1900's! I'm a genealogist and I know our family had a huge hump back trunk that had all of their belongings in it when they immigrated over here to America! Lots of history in that house for sure. Those clothes are definitely 50's too!! All of that furniture is probably from the original people who settled there. Very nice stuff though, sad to see it will be trashed! That house would have been awesome back in the day! Sad to hear they are going to tear it down, if those walls could talk!! Thanks for sharing Kappy!! Have a great day!! Peace and Love, Kim ~
This would have been a lovely home at one time. With a nice fireplace in the sittingroom & lots of windows to let in light & air. It is sad to see it abandoned. Thankyou for making a record of this deteriorating place & showing us.
Well, I know this place is really bad but ....I hate tearing down old beautiful places to build shopping centers. Go into town to shop like we use to. Convenience is overrated.
Great video ! Always sad to see places like this one left to decay and fall apart , cast aside forgotten about , then. People trash it looking for valuables to steal and sell . In my opinion this house and all the others left behind deserves much better for all the life lived here now its left alone falling apart . Thank you for finding it before it is gone for good .
Great explore Kappy! @10:28 that coat blowing in the wind really made me jump, for a second I thought someone was coming down the hall. Looks like it was last decorated in the early 70's with all the paneling and green shag carpet. Lots of interesting stuff.
I just discovered your channel! I love these old houses! My mother is 80, she has many old items from family members who passed long ago. They made it through several moves, also. She has an old steamer trunk in her garage. She has owned it the entire time I have been around, I am 53. I remember it as a child. She has my maternal grandmother’s hope Chest from the 1930’s. She also saved my paternal grandmother’s coats ( always hanging in her garage )and my maternal grandfather’s denim jacket ( hanging in her basement.) The coat hanging in this video is similar style to just grandmother’s. she passed in 1989 at age 90, my grandfather passed in 2001 at 88.
Thanks my friend for sharing this video about The Abandoned House of Steamer Trunks & Antiques 145 year old farm it was a very old house it will be sad to see it go but it was a very interesting video and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless my friend and thanks again.
Sadly, some of these beautiful homes and the memories left behind, are treated like those that used to relish living there. Out of site, out mind. So very, very sad. Thank you Kappy for sharing another beautiful but sad find. You’re work is as always, impeccable. Happy Saturday. 😊
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 you seem to find lots of these abandoned 1800's houses and i haven't seen one i don't like they still have a beauty about them even as they are something grand and proud that just isn't there in the slapped together boxes houses of today its really sad they are just left to rot thanks kappy nice place hope someone salvages something there
Those are some weird old tongs in the kitchen. Cool stuff. Never know what you will find in old houses. I helped remodel an old house that was built in 1846. There was stuff hidden under the floors, in the walls, cool stuff! Some from the civil war.
Mom and dad bought furniture just like that when I was a kid in the 70's. Thats an awesome house. If I were there I don't think I could keeo from cleaning it up.
I saw the kitchen around 1950 or 1960ish, very sad to the house gone forever, it breaks my heart. Thank you for sharing with me. thumb up, Merry Christmas.
Amazing to see that coat & dress hanging there on the landing as though someone planned to put it on the next morning. Then what happened? Life interrupted. Thankyou for sharing your video.
Neat old house, the dresser upstairs in the last bedroom that you showed us, is early 1900's, its made of oak, restored, it would sell in an antique shop for around 325.00 or 350.00, or at auction, a lot less. The living room furniture is like someone else said, 50's or 60's. The coat blowing in the wind scared me too.🌲🙂🌹
Tv's from the 90s, you're killing me..like that was along time ago☺those are 70s for sure.. Great videos. Love the presentation..I enjoy looking at all the cool old homes..😁
What an historic house! Such a blend of decades of decor, good old 70's paneling, carpet etc., 50's, 60' furniture, & what looks like original dressers, trunks & such! Then comes the 90's, what a hodgepodge of possessions!! Imagine the little treasures yet to be found!!! Great fun exploring with you. Thanks loads!
Thanks for this one. You really do have a great eye for capturing opening shots. In a much earlier era you might have ended up as a landscape painter. The carving of the antique sofa in the hallway looks like Eastlake to me as does the stair surround upstairs and the relatively unusual hand carving on the fireplace mantel. All these things say to me that its former owners were not rich, but that this house was loved. The living room couches with their nubbly upholstery and flat broad arms are from the early 1950s. There is currently a craze for furniture from that era, but anyone who actually had to sit on this stylish stuff when they were young remembers how uncomfortable it really was. Whoever lived here was sensible enough to hang onto much of their more comfortable antique furniture! The old clothes upstairs were also from the 1950s. None of the televisions scattered throughout the house are any later than the 1960s. I suspect the later dated empty jar of oysters was left behind by a curiosity seeker.
I can see why people love these old houses. They’re somewhat of a novelty but I’d never live in anything that isn’t new now. As I kid I grew up in a Victorian home that was built in 1902 for a few yrs .It kept having problems after problems that it sent my mom to the poor house ... literally . That and the fact it had a ghost child and a woman in it which traumatized me up into my adulthood .
I could cry and do ,for all this house embodies of the hope, intelligence,craftsmanship , civilization ,lost. Step up you young ones. Do more in this life than film ,mock, destroy. You don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone....and then it’s ...gone.
The couch when ya first walked in was very old!!!! Couldn’t ya imagine it brand new!! All that seventies paneling and drop ceilings points to last ditch effort to make house more efficient maybe?? LOVED the dresser upstairs beautiful!! Until next time Kappy
the furniture is from the 50 or 60s my grandma had similar furniture, great find I always think how sad it must be for kids or grandkids to leave family History behind :) thanks for sharing
What a nice old place. So sad it's being leveled in the name of progress. That mantle was really nice. I liked all the windows also. Thanks Kappy, great video.
I was wondering the same thing. I want that little table in the kitchen. I hope somebody does go through their there is so much history in there. The shame they're going to put a shopping mall here. The place looks beautiful without one. Wish we could stop building all these crappy shopping centers
Me, I'm looking at the old fabrics of the curtains! I love retro fabrics! The house and furniture are very interesting too. Sad what it's fate is going to be...
Neat house. Streamer trunks galore so must have traveled. The old furniture could be restored if someone wanted too. But I think every kitchen has a junk drawer. Nice find Kappy. It's preserved for all time in this video. Figures a shopping mall is taking its spot. Stay safe and warm. GBU
The 1950 - 1960 stuff sprinkled with antiques and a couple of things from the 90s makes me think one family owned this house, probably since it was first built. Some of the original furniture never left. Now grandma has passed away. ❤️ Thanks for pointing out that stove pipe cover in great shape. It appears Pennsylvania Dutch. The upstairs bannister looks Swiss Edelweiss. You show a lot of discipline and restraint, Kappy, by not disturbing things and protecting identities on personal effects. It’s such a shame so much good from the past is left to decay. Even grandma’s hung clothes look a good quality. Another sweet explore. ✨
I'd dearly love to rent the biggest u-haul and come salvage as much of the old gal that I could haul away!! 😞 The doors, the windows, all that hard wood going to bite the dust!!! So much History. Thanks Kappy, 'nuther great find and thanks for letting me tag along.
It covered the cracking horse-hair plaster walls in older houses. As the house settled, the cracks would show up and didn't stop. They were difficult to repair, and it was a continuous thing. Quality paneling wasn't grotesque in a 1960's den, although really inappropriate in a house from this era. Some people painted over it to lighten up the walls. Bear in mind Depression Era people did not and could not waste money like today's wasteful WalMart era. They were working hard to feed their families.
A billion board feet of that paneling was sold. Ugly, ugly, ugly. The last two houses We owned, built in the late 60’s and early 70’s had this paneling.🤮
That last bedroom dresser/mirror looks like Eastlake furniture. You are correct 1890-1920. Was an older home where they put in a drop ceiling. I noted the narrow sash windows and old hardware. Obviously at one time the house was heated by fireplaces. A good find.
It's a shame houses like that just sit there and rot away..Its also a shame people think they need to trash the places like that...im sure it's vandals and not animals doing all that crap...Nice video sir.
As you get older you should purge your belongings. Donate clothes and just keep what you need. Give treasures to family members. It's a good idea for anyone to travel lite. I had a steamer trunk just like that one I used as a coffee table. It held blankets for snuggling on the couch. So sad the old furniture was left to deteriorate. Furniture now last you ten years if your lucky. Thanks for the video. Be safe.
The mantelpiece is beautiful! I love the wreath on it and going to make a screenshot for a possible future home. I'd love to have one like that. Probably not in that colour but the woodwork.... amazing!
wow that stove top sure looked clean @ 2:45. l:d say almost everything is 40s 50s 60's vintage looks like my grand parents old place back in the 50sm great video thanks for the tour
The last major work in the kitchen was done in the 1960's. The streamer trunks are worth some money. Depending if they are salvageable. Some of the older furniture may be from the owner late past. The house it self is in rough shape and don't look salvageable at all.
At 6:58 there was a tiny glimpse of a light/ceiling fixture, it looked to be pink and glass, I would have loved to have seen a close-up. Those are very collectible and quite lovely. Especially the pink ones. Some of them are cut glass. Common in the day but rare now. And close-ups of the wallpaper patterns and construction of the house is also very interesting. I really like your style, instead of focusing on your face for 15 minutes, you just take us into the house and share with all the things we would want to see. Thank you for your calm manner, and respectful speech. Swearing is still objectionable to some of us. And I will not watch videos with the constant swearing. So thank you for that. To me that makes you a gentleman. Thanks for your efforts.
@@johnfranklin5277 yes, what i said older than 90s as i had plenty of those heavy tvs too. I have a permanent torn rotator cuff because my sister decided to let her end of a 36 inch one go
I lived through the brown panel 70s hated it than and still hate it now...WHY? Lol. Looks like a little old lady was the last to live there. Looks by her trunks she traveled in her youth. Would love to know her stories.
Cool explore, Kappy. The first thing I noticed was the screen frames on the front porch, then the spooled brackets at the tops of the columns. I wonder if they spent as much time on their screened-in porch as my family did!
I am loving all of those steamer trunks! I wish I was able to get those and restore them back to what they may have looked like back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It looks like they had a collection of them :]
Thanks for making these videos! I'm going to give you a little bit of a hard time, but all in good fun: I think you should add a "wow" tracker to your videos. Let it count how many times you say, "Wow," during your exploration, and use the total as a rating system. And I'm not even slightly suggesting that you say it too much - you don't! I just think it would be a cute idea, that's all. Thanks again for your respectful documentations, and stay safe out there! ❤
I really loved this old place. Similar to one a friends mom lived in. Lol, where the old cover for the chimney, the raccoon paw prints! They were having fun!
EARTH ANGEL ♥️. Another awesome setting! Doesn’t take much time for deterioration to set in, does it? Old 1800s settee ,hand carved legs. Nice vintage blue 🍲 bowl , chipped. Awesome brown mantle with simple carving; unusual. Look at those vintage clothes 👀!!!👍💕👍
*Daryl Broyles* To tell the truth, it's cleaner than mine is right now. I'll have to do something about that---later this morning (it's 2:30 right now).
Thanks, that was a cool house. A lot of those antiques are 1920’s to depression era. The TVs are totally early 80’s. We had them. I’m telling my age. Color tv was the new thing late 70’s early 80’s. I can barely remember getting a color tv when I was like 4. My grandparents had some similar furniture to that bedroom. Either someone liked antiques or that house was passed down through several generations. Now I want to know the story.
Actually, color tv was the new thing in the late 50s early 60s My grandparents had a color 59 zenith. We had a color 1961 Zenith. And they cost a fortune back then .
Love that rose wall paper in that last bedroom and the mirrored dresser were beautiful. Actually had a real bathroom too. Who took the kitchen sink lol. You have a great day
Sits at the end of a long driveway which is probably how it’s been saved from graffiti and vandalism but sits right outside a pretty large town, don’t wana give too much specific but thank you for watching!
Before these houses are demolished do scrapers remove the tin and appliances? Do they take the time to save any of the antiques? I enjoy your videos! Thank you
Tv's are from the 70's, use to be women who wore a wig would have something like a mannequin head to store the wig on. May be what the head is. Great job capturing this time capsule.

I can't imagine exploring abandoned homes in the 70s and the history you saw going through those places.
Good work Kappy! Life here in America is rapidly changing...Farm life was difficult, but rewarding, simple
with good values.
Loved, loved, loved this video and this house. Even in the shape it is in, this house felt calming and homey.
Great video,on a big house,so sad when they need repairing.

Yes, dropped ceilings to keep the heat down where the occupants were! Everybody had to dress warmly in "The Olden Days."
the furniture is from the 50 or 60s my grandma had similar furniture, great find I always think how sad it must be for kids or grandkids to leave family History behind :) thanks for sharing
What a nice old place. So sad it's being leveled in the name of progress. That mantle was really nice. I liked all the windows also. Thanks Kappy, great video.
I wonder if all the worthwhile antiques, woodwork, furniture, ect are salvaged before they tear it down

Paneling has got to be one of the ugliest decorating trends of the 70’s.
It covered the cracking horse-hair plaster walls in older houses. As the house settled, the cracks would show up and didn't stop. They were difficult to repair, and it was a continuous thing. Quality paneling wasn't grotesque in a 1960's den, although really inappropriate in a house from this era. Some people painted over it to lighten up the walls. Bear in mind Depression Era people did not and could not waste money like today's wasteful WalMart era. They were working hard to feed their families.
Indeed. Major ugly, I remember it , and didn’t like it .
A billion board feet of that paneling was sold. Ugly, ugly, ugly. The last two houses We owned, built in the late 60’s and early 70’s had this paneling.🤮
@@lucygray6162 lol we are working hard to feed our family right now as well.
My aunt had living room furniture just like that in the late 60s. I remember it looked nice, but the texture of the upholstery didn't feel good
It was made of looped nylon!
That last bedroom dresser/mirror looks like Eastlake furniture. You are correct 1890-1920. Was an older home where they put in a drop ceiling. I noted the narrow sash windows and old hardware. Obviously at one time the house was heated by fireplaces. A good find.
Nice to see you have quite a few things to look at in there
It's a shame houses like that just sit there and rot away..Its also a shame people think they need to trash the places like that...im sure it's vandals and not animals doing all that crap...Nice video sir.
Beautiful old marble top dressers.
So much cool stuff to see that was left behind! I loved this explore 👍❤️😊
As you get older you should purge your belongings. Donate clothes and just keep what you need. Give treasures to family members. It's a good idea for anyone to travel lite. I had a steamer trunk just like that one I used as a coffee table. It held blankets for snuggling on the couch. So sad the old furniture was left to deteriorate. Furniture now last you ten years if your lucky. Thanks for the video. Be safe.
The mantelpiece is beautiful! I love the wreath on it and going to make a screenshot for a possible future home. I'd love to have one like that. Probably not in that colour but the woodwork.... amazing!
Catching up on your old videos since I subscribed a short time ago. Still enjoying them so much! Keep up what you're doing. I like your style.
When I moved out on my own my first couch was exactly like the one in the living room lol
Thanks Kappy
BTW No I didn't move out on my own in the 50s lol I'm not even 50 yet ;)
What a time capsule. Loved it.
wow that stove top sure looked clean @ 2:45. l:d say almost everything is 40s 50s 60's vintage looks like my grand parents old place back in the 50sm great video thanks for the tour
That “2nd” living room is really the dining room.
I noticed the tea cart:)
Thanks again,Kappy!!
Oh and another great video Sweetie
Thank you Kappy ♡
Thank you so much!! (: you are too kind!
Vandals really did a number on that place.
The last major work in the kitchen was done in the 1960's. The streamer trunks are worth some money. Depending if they are salvageable. Some of the older furniture may be from the owner late past. The house it self is in rough shape and don't look salvageable at all.
At 6:58 there was a tiny glimpse of a light/ceiling fixture, it looked to be pink and glass, I would have loved to have seen a close-up. Those are very collectible and quite lovely. Especially the pink ones. Some of them are cut glass. Common in the day but rare now. And close-ups of the wallpaper patterns and construction of the house is also very interesting. I really like your style, instead of focusing on your face for 15 minutes, you just take us into the house and share with all the things we would want to see. Thank you for your calm manner, and respectful speech. Swearing is still objectionable to some of us. And I will not watch videos with the constant swearing. So thank you for that. To me that makes you a gentleman. Thanks for your efforts.
All the decor including the tvs, appliances clothing is older than the 90s. Clothing alone looks to be 50s 60s
TVs are 80s. I had a Sony just like that.
@@johnfranklin5277 yes, what i said older than 90s as i had plenty of those heavy tvs too. I have a permanent torn rotator cuff because my sister decided to let her end of a 36 inch one go
I noticed a woman's coat in that closet, looks like from the 1950s!
I lived through the brown panel 70s hated it than and still hate it now...WHY? Lol. Looks like a little old lady was the last to live there. Looks by her trunks she traveled in her youth. Would love to know her stories.
* Michelle * She would be the kind of person I could sit and listen to her tell her stories for hours!!! 🎄
Great video.A big house,so sad when. In overtime the house needs,repairing.
Cool explore, Kappy. The first thing I noticed was the screen frames on the front porch, then the spooled brackets at the tops of the columns. I wonder if they spent as much time on their screened-in porch as my family did!
I am loving all of those steamer trunks! I wish I was able to get those and restore them back to what they may have looked like back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It looks like they had a collection of them :]
I would love to fix up all the old furniture it would be fun!
The living room furniture is from the fifties and sixties.
Yes. He seems to be consistently off on his decades.
Growing up we had that same couch and chair only in green.
Thanks for making these videos! I'm going to give you a little bit of a hard time, but all in good fun: I think you should add a "wow" tracker to your videos. Let it count how many times you say, "Wow," during your exploration, and use the total as a rating system. And I'm not even slightly suggesting that you say it too much - you don't! I just think it would be a cute idea, that's all. Thanks again for your respectful documentations, and stay safe out there! ❤
A very nice old place and the cooker looked not that old, did you find a entire village of abandoned buildings from 1800 or something wow.
I really loved this old place. Similar to one a friends mom lived in. Lol, where the old cover for the chimney, the raccoon paw prints! They were having fun!
EARTH ANGEL ♥️. Another awesome setting! Doesn’t take much time for deterioration to set in, does it? Old 1800s settee ,hand carved legs. Nice vintage blue 🍲 bowl , chipped. Awesome brown mantle with simple carving; unusual. Look at those vintage clothes 👀!!!👍💕👍
That's amazing the stove is clean as the day it was bought!
Someone is picking it up,then.
*Daryl Broyles* To tell the truth, it's cleaner than mine is right now. I'll have to do something about that---later this morning (it's 2:30 right now).
@@oldenweery7510 😄😄😄
Some of those trunks are simple foot lockers used for storing off season clothes, blankets, etc.
Nice catch! I thought the same thing when he opened the black one, since it looked like the same hardware that was on my brown one.
I worked at Kmart back in the early '70s and we sold those for about 10$
Lots of cool stuff, thanks!
I wish I could have the antiques .
Abandoned house, love it.
Thanks, that was a cool house. A lot of those antiques are 1920’s to depression era. The TVs are totally early 80’s. We had them. I’m telling my age. Color tv was the new thing late 70’s early 80’s. I can barely remember getting a color tv when I was like 4. My grandparents had some similar furniture to that bedroom. Either someone liked antiques or that house was passed down through several generations. Now I want to know the story.
Actually, color tv was the new thing in the late 50s early 60s
My grandparents had a color 59 zenith. We had a color 1961 Zenith. And they cost a fortune back then .
I guess my parents were behind the times. Lol
I'm quite surprised by how much is still in there, a cool location, thanks for sharing. x
Great explore! Loved the house and the old furnishings. With all the steamer trunks, I wonder if the family was world travelers.
Love that rose wall paper in that last bedroom and the mirrored dresser were beautiful. Actually had a real bathroom too. Who took the kitchen sink lol. You have a great day
What a Lonely Old Place....land and All
Would you happen to have a good shot of the light fixture in the living room? I collect old fixtures , and believe I have one like it. Lovely house!
Wonder if they just collected the trucks or they emigrated from another country. Nice find Kappy
Very cool old house, to bad they covered so much of it up with the wood paneling. The birds have really taken over the upstairs, wow!
I'm sure the wood panels were a last attempt to keep house habitable. To cover up the crumbling walls.
Amazing house
Thanks Kappy, cool explore.
Thank you for watching!
It looked like the house was in the middle of nowhere. And there's going to be a shopping center put there? In the middle of nowhere?
Sits at the end of a long driveway which is probably how it’s been saved from graffiti and vandalism but sits right outside a pretty large town, don’t wana give too much specific but thank you for watching!
I've always wondered why none of these explorers show the bathrooms. They contain a lot of history too.
Before these houses are demolished do scrapers remove the tin and appliances? Do they take the time to save any of the antiques? I enjoy your videos! Thank you
Love the junk drawer in the kitchen. ❤️
Tv's are from the 70's, use to be women who wore a wig would have something like a mannequin head to store the wig on. May be what the head is. Great job capturing this time capsule.
Poor house was attacked by a 1970's remodel
My grandmother had a couch and chair just like those. Yes, from the 70s.
Nice job and thanks for sharing
