Doctors Abandoned House 140 years old & A few Neat Old Antiques

- This historic old farm sits outside of a small town in North Carolina, it was built in the late 1800’s and sits on many acres unfortunately it’s set to be torn down.
Can you only imagine this beautiful home once upon a yesterday? I like to imagine it to be full of hope and of faith. Someone's dreams filled these homes of beauty and children's laughter probably filled it with the promise of a future of wonderful possibilities! However, everytime I witness one of these abandoned homes and the conditions rendered, I thank God that the residents that once lived within these now broken walls, can't see what has become of the place that they once called home..just sayin'!
Well said
I do the same thing..... well said
You speak the word of most of us who follow these time capsules. I think we sometimes are simply just longing for a simpler time when the World seemed to care about Good. Thank you.
Yes, well said Barbara! I’m so happy that the people who lived and loved in this home can’t see it now as well.
@@Granny2470 _Moi aussi._ I can usually conjure thoughts of the lives people led in these homes, the holidays, the sounds of laughter, the cooing of concern over illnesses... I'm happy to know that both of my childhood homes are still there, still occupied---and I can see them both in Street View on Google Maps. I don't know if the house where I was born, that I only knew from visiting friends who lived there, is still there. I haven't been there for 65 years. Wow, my mind is flooded with the pleasant memory of seeing the 3rd floor/attic apartment where my folks and two older brothers lived, so long ago...
The round "Ive got the Spirit" sticker on the door is from the 1970's. They were handed out at "76" gas stations, and came in multiple colors.
Spirit of ‘76
This house would have been long gone if it were not for the metal roof.
Nice call on that one.
I saw that and thought the same.
The hospital bed in the living room. The crutches. The walker. Tells a story.
I could have hung out in that first house all day long, with the hot Breeze & the curtains going through the windows. You find the neatest houses Kappy, thank you 🙌
it never fails to pull at the heart strings to see these beautiful old homes left to rot...thanks again
barbaranne boyer 🙂👍👍
I agree 100%. It definitely tugs at my heart. Sometimes I even cry.
So true. Heartbreaking.
Yes it's so heartbreaking! I wish I had the money to adopt these grand old queens ❤
What is sad for me, is the last people that lived here. Like, no children or relative to will the house to? It would be better than let it rot.
They don’t build homes like this anymore. You can see the craftsmanship. Sad seeing it run down
Yes I love the old sturctures
They need to at least record these designs and rebuild them
The walker and the crutches made me really really sad. That old person had his house converted into a nursing home for his last moments. 😔
Maybe could have been a young veteran too.
So sad to see homes rotting away like these. I'm sure in the day they were beautiful! Thanks for sharing Kappy!
The way that bedroom is set up with the double bed upstairs it reminds me of the bedroom that Forrest Gump's Mother had and the scenes where she is lying in the bed. Cool explores, thank you. x
The first house must have been a beauty in her day! Beautiful bones.
Grandma Carla it’s an old plantation house that obviously had slaves. It’s not beautiful
The first one looks like a senior care center. looked every room had a resident.
Regina Greer I was thinking the same thing. Or some kind of rehab home.
I didn't see a bathroom!
The first house was a beauty. She is sad as she flutters torn curtains in her windows.
Very true. 🙂
That house was a very nice house in its time.
I bet this was a really lovely home in its day. So sad now though.
Terrible shame that these houses are being so neglected and not taken care of.
Lots of crutches,and a drip stand next to double bed,upstairs.very old style crutches.
The first house at one time was a good looking home. Some parts of the house look to be salvageable. The door frame molding, the stain glass, the wood paneling on the side of the stair way and also the little desk.
I find it interesting that the house didn't have bathroom or a kitchen.
Thanks for watching!!
I would love to restore that home, I work and make 13 dollars a hour, and can't afford rent, and all, I live where I work and, been doing so for a long time, people like me would be honored to buy and fix something like this
Same here. I'm a single female and I can't afford to live by myself so I rent a place with my sister.
Same here. My son & his friend live here, bc I make $12/hr & just couldn't do it, alone.
How would you repair a home in this terrible condition on 13 bucks an hour?? You couldn't. A person would need at least 75.000 dollars if not more to repair the place.
@@johnfranklin5277 the truth hurts you are right, sir
@@nelsonfernandez7473 You could do a little at a time even if it took you 20yrs. It would be yours. Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something!
It seems to be when you get older you congregate into one room that makes it simple for you. God bless this person who lived here❤
That's what my husband's grandmother has done, she moved her bed into the den so she's on the same level as the kitchen and bathroom. Anything to limit stairs or avoid them completely
@@Pixiedustjunkie ,GOD BLESS YOUR GRANDMOTHER!
godbless you too mam..
Yes they do. My husband's choice is the living room. Hospital bed an all his just stuff around him. He refuses to be put in the bedroom cause he won't be able to see what goes on all day. It's been 12 years now. It really doesn't matter, no one comes any way.
I just wanted to pick up the first house and hug it. Loved it!
Elizabeth Kessler , lol... me too! 🤗
Lol
hug me i hug too so much
AWESOME. There is one chair in the room you said was set up , that clearly is of a far later time. Much of the furniture if from around the 1940's.
Seems like there was a secret door under the main staircase .
crawl space, storage
Some information about the history and background of these places would add more value to these videos, otherwise it is just another video showing peaces of decay woods.
Exactly, where is this house located & more information about the Doctor, etc. please. Thanks
In first house, when you filmed into the first room, and I saw one little plate and one glass on the small table, a real sense of sadness, loneliness and isolation came over me. Weird.
I like that each room had a lot of windows. Great woodwork around the doors and windows. It is sad that there is no more life being lived in this home.
How did you start doing this? It’s so cool to see the houses and the fact that you have some of the history too!
That first house was so much better than the outside looked! Was surprised to still see that much inside w/o being destroyed by vandals! The blue chair sitting in the living room like that made you feel like a person was going to get up any minute to great you!
Another time....another place. I'm sure it was much better than this time and place.
Looks like the place was used for people recovering from accidents
Probably more durable and can sustain more hurricanes than a lot of today’s homes.
My house was built in the early 1900s and it has been through a ton of storms and it still stands lol
bean cogar I believe it. I live in Pensacola Fl, & there’s a section called East Hill that consists of homes built in the 1920s & 1930s. They’ve survived almost 100 years of hurricanes & tornadoes. When these homes are up for sale, they sell very quick.
Also my house was built on a grave yard and in the 1940s it was moved across the river. There are still unmarked graves that were never found leaving me with a house that is beyond haunted. I live in Va and a lot of houses around here have gone through hurricanes and floods
bean cogar it’s haunted, & you still live there??
Yes I do I'm not scared anymore lol but believe me I'm a firm believer in things you can not explain. And in a way it is very cool
Amazing find Kappy , thank you as always for sharing
Thank you Kappy for this video...Good morning..I hope you had a GREAT Thanksgiving day!
The House with Nobody In It
by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)
Whenever I walk to Suffern along the Erie track
I go by a poor old farmhouse with its shingles broken and black.
I suppose I’ve passed it a hundred times, but I always stop for a minute
And look at the house, the tragic house, the house with nobody in it.
I never have seen a haunted house, but I hear there are such things;
That they hold the talk of spirits, their mirth and sorrowings.
I know this house isn’t haunted, and I wish it were, I do;
For it wouldn’t be so lonely if it had a ghost or two.
This house on the road to Suffern needs a dozen panes of glass,
And somebody ought to weed the walk and take a scythe to the grass.
It needs new paint and shingles, and the vines should be trimmed and tied;
But what it needs the most of all is some people living inside.
If I had a lot of money and all my debts were paid
I’d put a gang of men to work with brush and saw and spade.
I’d buy that place and fix it up the way it used to be
And I’d find some people who wanted a home and give it to them free.
Now, a new house standing empty, with staring window and door,
Looks idle, perhaps, and foolish, like a hat on its block in the store.
But there’s nothing mournful about it; it cannot be sad and lone
For the lack of something within it that it has never known.
But a house that has done what a house should do, a house that has sheltered life,
That has put its loving wooden arms around a man and his wife,
A house that has echoed a baby’s laugh and held up his stumbling feet,
Is the saddest sight, when it’s left alone, that ever your eyes could meet.
So whenever I go to Suffern along the Erie track
I never go by the empty house without stopping and looking back,
Yet it hurts me to look at the crumbling roof and the shutters fallen apart,
For I can’t help thinking the poor old house is a house with a broken heart.
Thank you, Ithaca comments
Why isn't any of the survivors claiming this beautiful antique home?
They are probably fighting over it.
Thats a big old one. Im a grown man and i coudnt be paid to go into these places alone, id be terrified. Great vid. !
Teff lon I feel the same way. Never know what kinds of critters you might find- snakes, spiders, you name it.
@@bradhampton6457 , tranits, and criminal activity to walk into like a sitting duck is my concern.
@@56cadd that would worry me also.
Very cool as usual, Kappy!
Thanks for watching! (:
You are taking big risks walking into the first house without some kind of mask. These houses are loaded with asbestos..Be smart take a mask and a air meter..Hate to see your life destroyed because you took a risk without safety sir..
Perhaps only were the furnace is. No other type of insulation was visible. The exterior walls were empty.
I wonder if this was used as a retirement home. That geriatric bed looks around 1930's
E
Would love to hear the story on first house.
Dawn Kurtz , same here 🙂
April T. 👍🙂
The crutch house may have had someone die in it. The hospital bed makes me think so. Perhaps an old person with no children passed and the house goes to the state and the state is in no rush to save the home
Yes.these homes were once beautiful and full of life.ive tried several times to buy a couple ones but they wouldn't sell.they were left to rot.
Such sadness I bet it was so beautiful in its heyday
I bet their are some old spirits lingering around these homes.
Yeah I wouldn't doubt that. Alot happened in those lod houses over time.
Only if they're demons.
i bet that there are bees...
timvanburen and snakes
@@JeffCookeMI nope. Spirits can be earthbound and they are human souls, I thought that same thing but nope it could be either or
Beautiful house, bet it was quite swanky in the day, lovely woodwork around the doors, loved the billowing torn nets 2nd house a bit more basic, still beautiful in its own way. Great video 👍👍
Wowies. I wonder if it was a home for the infirmed, w all of those crutches and wheelchairs???(
Wow! It, s a shame nothing can be done about those beautiful homes going to rot.
I see light switches. The house was modernized at one time. I can only imagine living in such a desolated place when first built. Now, of course, you can hear the cars drive by.
Would’ve loved seen the first one in it’s heyday! Love the sneak peaks of upcoming videos! Until next time Kappy oh Happy Thanksgiving
What a beautiful old home. Lots of windows which is nice. The rosettes in the woodwork are worth some money these days. Wish someone would preserve them. Another great video Kappy!
Cool house, love all the windows!
Beautifully done. Thank you Kappy.
Such a shame these beautiful house end up destroy l wonder what the previous owners would think if they saw how bad there homes ended up like
Wondering if it was a care facility at one point due to all the hospital supplies and crutches. Sadness just thinking of the people that may have died there. Do you know the history of this place?
Odd bedroom doors have locks on the outsides of the doors. Did they lock the kids in their rooms? Cool house .. but seems like a lonely person lived here.
They are called rim locks and they were used on thinner doors that were not thick enough to bore a mortise. They were also just convenient. Sometimes they have interesting writing and patent dates on them.
Great video I hate it got vandalised
That house is amazing. Down to the wood work around the doors. Man what I would give to be able to have a home like this. Truly an original not like today’s homes by far.
Interesting house but the furniture doesn't look 140 years old
My house is 30 years old but the furniture is 10 years old
Tough Harley Well most likely that house was lived in untill into the 1900’s, probably till the 40/50’s
@@beverlybalius9303 Another person commenting here mentioned that sticker on the door and that it was from 1976. My guess would be it's been abandoned since at least the 1980's.
Kind of sad with all the hospital bids, crutches, and walkers. He was certainly a Doctor Who took his work home with him. I’m using dictation and just realized that it wrote Doctor Who.
Wainscoting was pretty and I too would’ve Liked to of seen the Newell posts.
That larger house is definitely worth the work to fix it. A lot of homes like this are quite stunning when renovated properly, although it can be quite expensive. It’s an amazing looking house . I lived in a CW home as a child ( it was an amazing Italianate ) and omg it was a lot of work for my parents, but they made it so beautiful.
What a great find . The architectural style and design is amazing.
(sees opening shot) Looks like something from a B-horror movie. 🙂
Thanks Kappy
The first house was great. Hopefully it can be saved. The second house would have been beautiful in its time. If you can go somewhere because of safety reasons, then it’s ok. We understand.
That first house looked like it could have been a place for rehabilitation. Greet find! The rooms looked like they were staged by others. Thanx
convalescent home from way back
That front doorway was beautiful! My 2 girls and I get such a kick out of watching your videos. We keep talking about exploring an old house, but we probably never will. Their mama is way too cautious! Lol
Good vid, Kappy. The audio was great! Liked the first house, love those big old rooms. Same with the second one even though the condition was a lot worse. No bathroom in either house. Thanks
Here's a weird thing, It appears there is a broken aquarium in the first house, but the frame is plastic..back then it would have been metal....go figure...☮❤
This house was magnificent. I loved everything about this strong house. Think about all the elements that have attacked it and still it stands proud. Whoever built this had class and style but not overboard that it could not be a home. And I was surprised that for such an old home the rooms were nice sizes.. I could go on and on..I LOVE this grand old home♥️
Both really good explores the first house must have been really cool back in its day thank you for sharing these with us !
Hey Kappy
Since I’ve been watching your videos; which I enjoy, TH-cam has put all these other people on that do house videos? I absolutely hate the ones that have music in the background! I like to hear the places you go to not the someone’s taste in music😂. Please don’t do that Kappy👍😃
WOW! The Munster's vacation home....
Great finds Kappy, loved the first house
Beautiful old house, I can imagine how beautiful is it, those antique furniture was so beautiful.
Ivy Loi - agreed! 🙂👍
Hi ivy loi i know your facebook abandoned places
Kar Nan 😃 👋
@@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803 merry Christmas 🎄 🌲 you are nice person Erin bricker
They should let people like architectural salvagers come rescue those antique fixtures and furniture before it all gets destroyed. It's sad to see antique stuff like that abandoned.
Looks like an old clinic or hospital?
Wonder why it was abandoned. Looks creepy. Something went wrong on that property . Otherwise real estate developers would have bought it. It would be worthwhile to investigate.
Most likely built by a family with some money. Not lots of money, but decent amount. Because of the ornate door trim. More expensive wood flooring it has. And 2 stair ways.
Was a neat old house although I have no idea what nice old stuff your talking about in you title just old junk! 🐱😍🐺
cities/counties should let salvage companies retrieve the wood and work from these places before they are completely rotten - the municipality could get some revenue and others could use and appreciate this historic woodwork, etc.
Love to see attic in first house and the other stairs.
I so want to go exploring abandoned houses/buildings but I live in Cali and I’m pretty sure I’d go to jail or get cited for trespassing or find homeless people.
This old house is like our bodies borrowed for a period of time. If we're blessed with long life we slowly age and at some point this outward form will fail to sustain the spirit within. It's the mind,soul and conscience that lives on forever and we must give account for all the deeds done in this body to the Creator.
It definitely should be classified as the crutches house.
I use to own an antique desk like that passed down from my great grandma. It's in my parents room! I love your videos ❤️ if you ever visit Michigan where I'm from there is tons of places like this. Even a few in Imlay City Michigan.
I’m from brown city the Bruce mansion ❤️
Broken and Battered....memories of another time. 🙁😔😐
I had a weird thought after seeing all the crutches: remember the old joke/riddle, "Ninety-nine, thump, ninety-nine, thump"? Maybe the doctor had a giant centipede with bad knees as a pet...
I almost feel like there's a game to be played here: how many crutches can you find scattered in the old abandoned house?
Love the chair , crutches, hospital bed view...
Dear Kappy, It is great the way you find & film clearly, without dashing round too much & making us dizzy, these fantastic, wonderfully characterful, old homes for us & you make it so interesting. You really do find absolutely the best places. I would like to make a special request though.
Please would you film the centre of the ceilings, (just a brief sweep will do)? It is just because people are very often looking to see whether the place has electricity &, obviously, whether there are light fittings or not is a major clue. Also, if you could briefly include shots of any visible connections for electric wires or gas pipes for any heaters or cookers etc left, it really does help to give us some useful clues.
These places are so intrigueing & people are wondering things like, how old the place is, has it been modernised at all & when it was last occupied? People are fascinated to see details that enable them to have a chance to work these sort of things out. Quite a lot of us are acting like detectives while we watch, thinking about the history of these places & looking out for clues, so to see these details adds to our interest & enjoyment & helps to maximise our pleasure.
It is great to have these videos to focus on & wonder about as it really helps to become involved in looking at them & thus to have a break from our everyday lives & to relax & releive stress. Thankyou so much for making videos of these places available to us.
I hope you do not mind me asking.
It is great that you are making a clear record of these very old places that quite clearly are not going to be around for very much longer for anybody to have a look at. Your videos are an excellent resource for for students of history & architecture & someday soon may be the only way for students to see many of these old places.
The lack of kitchens & bathrooms is puzzleing but I guess people might have cooked on a woodstove in the first place as there are chiminey connections for those. Maybe an old outhouse has collapsed or they used buckets & old tin baths in the small L shaped room upstairs. The downstairs invalid probably used a commode & had blanket baths.
Maybe if a doctor lived there, the crutches were to lend out to patients with leg injuries & possibly they may have cared for a patient in their home at times, as doctors used to if there was not a hospital nearby. Maybe the doctor himself was the last person cared for in that hospital style bed?
Did the first house have a kitchen or a bathroom ?? You didn't show either. Since it is going to be torn down I hope some of the great woodwork gets salvaged. ✌🏻❤
Wow, really a subtle beauty standing silently on the land, Love the vivid wall colors contrasting the fading upholstery. The wind adds a nice sound effect as well as the sweeping fragments of draperies. Hope they save the plinth blocks and the old glass! Beautiful.
Cool old house! Should have looked in the attic in the first house!!
These 2 must have been abandoned for a very long time not much left but lots of crutches
Couple of nice ones Kappy! First one definitely looked set up to me too, still pretty cool that all that stuff was there though.
I think people checked in but never checked out
In Fallout you could sleep in those beds. Nice video.
That’s considered affordable housing for the average person now
Can't afford that house, they still want 200,000.00 for any not even a full lot.
@@larryroberts8809 I just paid 285000 for my place. Half the suckers I work with. I'm glad not to be homeless. I have fixed a lot since I moved in
Would love to find something like that to salvage and repurpose, right where it stands!
The first house is beautiful and the breeze blowing the torn curtains was kinda pretty, I'd love to have seen the home when it was new. Thanks for another tour, have a great week 🙂
Found it interesting that there is a slid lock on the inside of the bedroom door at 7:13.
Maybe it's for safety. We do that in our country for safety reasons.
