Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today we are exploring this old stone house that was built in the 1700s. The House was demolished in 2020. Have a great rest of the week!
I went through this house years ago. This house among others along that Route 1 corridor going towards Granite Run were also torn down within a few years of each other. I agree, this one next to the old Lobster Pot Restaurant should have been moved.
You and me both. I explored almost every house along that stretch. The only one I didn't get too was on the other side and it had a castle-like structure. It was involved in a fire before I started doing this I was told.
So glad you are back posting again. As a Delco native and local history nut, Ive always found your channel to not only being very very interesting-but also very important to saving the historic important buildings by your videos. Thanks for what you do, Steve!!!
That area in the basement with the large hearth was the original kitchen in that house. Sad that it now exists only on video footage. Interesting episode.
Still looked like in a way it still was in good shape for it's age.maybe give it some touch ups and repairs here and there .could had been saved .just a shame to throw away another great piece of history here.
How is it that this 1700 house isn't on Historical Register and protected? The size and how well it was built. That the person had means and was important local person. The basement has magnificent kitchen fireplace for cooking. Showing that multiple things could be cooked at the same time. To destroy a 300 year old house for cookie cut built crap is ridiculous.

I have lived in Pennsylvania all my life and I agree 200% on what you say about what is done with these Historic homes, very sad !! 🤥
Yea I don't get it. The southeastern pa region has a lot of historical homes. Lots of them get the bull dozer. It stinks
Wow ..awesome Steve, I'm happy u are revisiting alot of the old abandoned home u did years ago..
Thank you
What a cool old place, filled with character. Sad no one tried to save it. Torn down for boring, overpriced boxes.
@@MsJenLa yep hundreds of townhomes. Pretty much all they do in this area of PA now
That look more like chicken coops than houses...
Thanks for sharing this with me this video i really enjoyed it and God Bless.
You're welcome.
A house like this should have been made part of the new community.
Where is the historical society when you need them the most.
That is what I was saying. Not sure why it wasn't not part of the plans
They don't have money to buy any properties. It would have to be a community effort to have it preserved and fixed.

How incredibly sad. I just love the stone homes of PA. Developer's are out of control everywhere!!
Stone houses are the best
All people want to do is demolish historic old home’s! How sad to tare down history! Glad you got too record it before demolition! 👍👍🤘❤️❤️
I'm glad I did too. More and more historical homes are being lost.

@@MattMcCormick502-4 thank you so much
How unfortunate that nobody wants to keep history alive anymore. Good thing that you got it when you did. Thank you for sharing your video
Exactly why I do this. Thanks for watching

Thank you
Sad it was torn down. Seeems that is all they know how to do. Great video Steve.
@@maryhirsch2909 thank you

Yep that is all they seem to do now.
@AbandonedSteve like retro restaurants being replaced with shoebox buildings with no character just sad.
@@suzannewillis817 pretty much
This house was my first explore ever! Sad to see it go
Yea almost my first as well.
I absolutely love that place
Beautiful stone house
@AbandonedSteve definitely thats my dream to rebuild, if I had the money, find a house built just like that
It’s crazy how people today will tear down a solid stone house and replace it with hollow walls and drywall.
That's a shame for that place to just sit like that
Typical developer way of doing things

Happens all to often
@@AbandonedSteve Very sad indeed. Thanks for the video.
One word disgusting! What a shame
Agree
Frustrating the condition wasn't that bad!
Nope wasn't bad at all
