      Agree, but who has the money to do that. Hard to find someone who is willing to majorly invest into a restoration. Most wont do it unless there is a return on investment, I wouldn’t.

      What’s sad too is that they took a gorgeous historic home that I’m sure had a ton of original woodwork, built-ins, and hardwood floors and painted, carpeted and remodeled it into 70’s-80’s decor. They ruined the inside in my opinion.

    Is it for sale?? No reason why this home cannot be restored to its original state. New roof and remove the mold (any) building is restorable. My husband and I restored a condemned cottage ten times worse than this home. From the interior it appears to be around late 1890's. The bullseye inset on the door frame dates the home to about 1897; this type of door frame inset 5:03 was extremely popular and used extensively in expensive Victorian homes. Though the exterior gives the appearance of the Antebellum period (before the Civil War), it clearly dates to the 1890's era. The kitchen installation 6:30 indicates the 1960's era with Nutone intercom system 6:44 which was quite popular in larger homes. The built in radio station 7:14 also an upgrade from the 1960's era. Missing all its original hardwood doors possibly oak and replaced with new hollow construction ... Why? At 15:36 a corner sink would be a perfect fit for this small bathroom. At 18:02 noticed wall to wall carpet popular in the 1960's era. You will also find wall to wall carpet at Graceland where Elvis Presley lived. It was used as a sound barrier when you cranked up the music with your huge speakers (known as blasters) blasting sounds of the 1960's music... the louder the better! In the 1800's, the attic served as the servants' quarters in many Victorian homes; sweltering hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. The odd shape box at 21:44 held a water bed almost everyone experienced a water bed during the 1960's and the 1970's era. Definitely a fad because these beds did leak and a burst of water would cover the floor while you slept.
    It was the baby boomer generation 1945-1964 who desired and restored Victorian homes to live in. Now, the Minimalist are running to Ikea to furnish their tiny apartments and smaller homes as many like to travel without the burden of debt with a large mortgage. SAVE A VICTORIAN!

I got curious pulled the boat up to it crawled up where I saw the bird and three of the prettiest baby buzzards were in there hissing at me . not a lot of people realize they white fuzzy and cute , then old black and bald , thank you for jogging the memory.

    Fantastic old house. There was a house like this near me into NJ, built in the 1800s and the house next door, used to belong to the nephew of Abraham Lincoln. Even though we had no intention of living there, something was drawing us back to that house. Everyday for a month we would just go visit. Something draws people to old abandoned homes.

      Slaves quarters were usually in the basement. Nannies or governesses' were usually upstairs. I am hazarding a guess here, but I am inclined to think that the circular staircase was installed in the 70's. It has a "modern" feel to it.

The reason I know this is because my dad installed carpet for 40 years and we seen it often and he has put carpet on walls back in the day. I think the guy who lives here may have been a carpet installer since he had scrap carpets. Great find I would have loved to live on that top floor it's like its own apartment

      Carpet was often used for 'sound proofing' a room. It was popular in family rooms (where the kids played) or a bar area so the adults didn't wake the children..... My parent's had the basement fully carpeted. if that's an apartment on the top floor (which looks like it was) then sound proofing so the tenant wasn't bothered by the family, or vise versa, makes total sense. As for the decorative scraps of carpet, my best friends parent's had something similar in their bedroom............... I'll let your imagination on why work that one lol

    Most likely, but not in all cases these houses could have been abandoned due to drug busts. These houses could be part of a drug repossession, or what happened in my case with the bank foreclosures in the 2008- 2009 era. It most likely sat on the market, and couldn't be sold, or the family went into witness protection program. Who knows, there are many reasons. Anyway keep up the great work guys great filming :)

    I'm amazed that it wasn't preserved as a museum a long time ago instead of being allowed to rot. I love that double portico, and those columns are neat. What a house. As for the bird, I've never seen anything quite like it. We have two kinds of vultures here- Black Vultures and Turkey Vultures. That looked like neither.

    To avoid spiderwebs at my sister spider filled woods in Missouri, when we are walking about, we carry a long tree switch with us and just use it like a magic wand --moving it in a circular motion directly in front of us to catch the webs and knock them out of our way.

    All over the country you see houses that are abandoned. Few are glorious like this one,but the same reasons apply as to why: either there are no heirs,no will,and nobody has a vested interested in the place. And even more common,the house is left to kids,who now live out of state,busy lives,no time to go back and deal with an old home.But still sad to see.
