My mom always had a saying when she saw old house abandoned like this she say you know if the walls in that house could talk it would tell you a story about the people who lived there how true
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'll take it. Please, PLEASE tell me where it's at. I've done construction work all my life. I have an Arkansas Journeyman's Electrical Licenses. I can restore this.
So cool! I adore the buzzard, they hiss but are harmless. My Grandma has some living in her woods. The babies hiss too but you could pet them they were little white fluff balls. Great video as always you all!
Exploring with Rick & Bekah yes it’s crazy but that’s just what they do. I work for an animal rescue now and have learned a lot about these guys. They seem like they were run after you but he’s just scared and letting you know “ hey this is my house now”. Lol!! The black mold is more dangerous.. you all be careful with that mold. Your fans love you guys and want you safe. Even your buddy the Buzzard! Hugs guys🤗
funny and its been about 20 years ago but I was fishing at an old rock mine here in Florida and I seen an old black buzzard kept flying into this one rock . 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. PS I wouldn't pet one and nest didn't smell very nice.
What a gorgeous grand old house, the stories it could tell. I truly hope that the owner or someone with money could save this old mansion. I'm sure it has good bones.
I'm sure the reason owners' don't want people to go inside abandon homes is they're afraid of being sued nowadays. You two are very respectful and careful. Good job!
That looked like the home of 1970's Swingers. The only thing missing was a disco ball! Originally, it must have been a lovely old Southern plantation style home.
They did some funky stuff to that house! I had a long-forgotten memory of going up stairs where the walls were covered in carpet too. I don't remember when or where, but it was probably in the 1970s.
The thing I liked most was on the main floor in the closet. There is access to the basement. I am VERY curious if this was to lower things down to keep them cool, or if this plantation house was part of the Underground Railroad!!!!
Loved the carpeted staircase and shortly after trying to get into a tiny attic closet/cubby and you didn't show it! Keep up the good work. I say it was left in the '90's early 2000. Decor from 90's
#113 Bekka , girlfriend how you walk thru some of these places without a braid and maybe stuffing yer hair underneath a hat is more than I know! Love your filming and casual funny & humorous commentary at times! Thanx guys for doing these coz my exploring days have been over for awhile & I like viewing yours!
This house has a weird layout, but interesting i bet it was fancy back when it was lived in,you could get lost in a house this size,and i wouldn't want to be the cleaner either,lol good video you guys👍💙😊...
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.
That was a huge old mansion. Baby buzzard kinda fit in with the odd 70's carpeted art walls and the fully carpeted staircase that led that very private man cave apartment! So creepy and so out of place. Surprising even w/o stuff great find & video.
Definitely abandoned in the 80's. The bricks on the third level seem to be original. I wish who ever remodeled in in the 80's left it alone. If they tried to sell it I'm not surprised they couldn't! The last owner ruined the architecture. Why I hate the 80's so much when it came to decoration.
My inlaws have that exact blue tub and sink, they built their house in 1964. She desperately wants to remodel, but Pop says it's a good steel tub, no need to get rid of it haha
Love your videos. Some others go too fast and we don't get a chance to really see much, but your are just the right speed and just the right amount of narration!
This is a murder-suicide house. I was only two blocks away that awful night, at my sister Clara's. We we sort of listening to the organ, you know the midnight bells were ringing. I turned to Clara and said, "Clara; the organ music sounds strange tonight!". Well, they say there are still bloodstains on the organ keys, and they've never been able to get them off. And they used Bon-Ami !
R&B, This place screams 1970's remodel.Preservation was not in vogue yet. The spiral stairs to the top floors is puzzling. I guess the furniture had to be hoisted through the window. Great site, Rick's camera work is much improved since the de-caff. (he - he)
Lilith Brantley. Gut the kitchen. All that black mold is dangerous... deadly stuff. New sheet rock.... all new insulation. Glass. Storm windows...new carpet. Probably 6 figures just to get up to code
Yes but you would have to tear out all the wall to get rid of the mold. That stuff is toxic and can cause brain damage and all sorts of neurological illness's , It would be very expensive to remodel.
That was an awesome house . in the late 60s and in the seventies people carpeted walls usually on stairs. 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
When critters are in these places leave doors & windows open. Oh my GOSH! There's MOLD! you are breathing it in you better go get tested. I love going in these places thanks for sharing. I love this house..
I grew up in TN and the sounds of the locusts just made me miss home a bit ♥ There's nothing like that sound. If you could imagine sitting on that veranda during a thunderstorm listening to the rain on the roof (most likely tin at one point) ohhhh I miss it!!!
FTR, I wrote the above comment before I heard you say you were in TN LOL I guess I know home when I hear it? JK, just about anywhere you go in the south sounds similar out in the country
I’m not much of a religious guy but I know that places like that can be full of bad energies..a lot of poor humans were forced to work to death there..
I absolutely love this house, and it’s my favorite house that you guys have explored so far, but that hissing bird stole the show! I was scared it was gonna come running at you full speed ahead at any moment-is it weird that I think he/she is adorable?
Hello I just discovered your channel and subscribed 💕 man this was a nice find you can tell this house was beautiful back in it’s younger years and wow I was amazed at how big that third floor is and a mini kitchen I would have never guessed all that was up that creepy lil spiral carpeted staircase none the less beautiful beautiful home thanks guys 💞💕💞
What an amazing home this was at one time! So big and so much character. Such a great find!!! Did you take the vulture home as a pet because he really loves you guys! Lol
Wow, listen to those insects! Do they hav cicadas in Tennessee? I'm from desert country and when I first heard the baby bird I thought it was a rattlesnake.
Thanks for sharing all your videos of these old homes. I used to love doing the same thing when I was younger here in AZ, but I can no longer explore due to my health. Good job Rick and Bekah!
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 :)
Rick you did good at filming this explore. I bet that was a beautiful home back in the day. That carpeted stairway was a little weird & led to interesting rooms. Wouldn't it be neat to see pictures of the house, inside & outside 2hen the people were living there ? Great video.. Really enjoyed it..
Thank you so much for sharing your informative video. I could tell there was a number of things that were not original to a 1800's mansion. However it was a great video.
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.
Felt so sorry for the vulture. He/she was pretty upset that you guys were walking through his house. I think I might have apologized and maybe not explored, for fear of further offending the bird. but I'm glad you kept going it was interesting.
Quite the find guys! Looked like an old "bachelor pad" from the seventies up on the third floor, lol! I loved the first floor, but then the next two were all redone with that "gaudy" 70's decor! Shame to see such elegance destroyed. Thanks for the tour guys and great camera handling!
Beautiful home!!! It's just really sad to see it rotting away!!! It made me cry, just thinking about how much work goes into these beautiful homes only to see this....y'all did a wonderful job tho...thanks for sharing...
That top floor was super interesting... and the carpeted stairway /walls so weird ..it looked like the gold carpet that was so popular in the 60's. Looks like it got a makeover in that era. I loved seeing the falcon... we don't have those here ! That glass dresser has actually come back in trend in the last few years. Bekah was so cute looking around corners before going in lol.
bad recomendation.....only breathing mask.. i'm dying from mold. ca prove that also. infected my family not knowing and caused mothers dealth , and a ton of friends sick from being so highly toxic, take my work ..yr fools if ya don't wear breathing mask. not just a white one.
Great video guys! Looks like It's been abandoned since the early 80's I would ay. Too bad it has suffered so much damage from the elements, it was a beautiful home!
Hi 🙋🏾♀️ glad to have found your channel. Very interesting. Thanks for taking us along. Do y’all have stories of every place? This is my first video what hung y’all and I love watching ppl exploring abandoned houses with a story behind them. Anyway thanks y’all so much . Have a blessed week darlings
All plantation homes in the world should be burned !!Burned down to nothing.. these homes benefited the slave owners. And slaves died on those plantations.
i nave to say rick is such a gentleman to you bekah this is very rare today it means he was raised right. im trying to teach my grandson to be this way, love watching ur adventures
That bird confused me. I didn’t know if it was a possum, Turkey or hybrid. Turns out, according to the comments, it was a vulture. I never knew birds hiss! 😂😂😂😂
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. You might look goofy doing it on video but better than spider webs i say!
You have so many comments.. i hate to ask this. .have you received any videos along the Ohio River? There is credible information and plantation homes, lots of energy...i walked through the Covington riverside and it was too much had to leave, the hospital especially, Cherokee and a burial mound not far...
This was an amazing home not too many years ago. Wondering where the people went that lived there last. I think maybe in the beginning that top floor was servant's quarters. Thanks so much for the adventure.
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.
To bad that house was ruined. It looks like the flat roof with the range top thown out on it does not have enough pitch. That and all of the additions were the demise of a once incredible home. Thanks Rick & Bekah. With Regards Ody Slim
My mom always had a saying when she saw old house abandoned like this she say you know if the walls in that house could talk it would tell you a story about the people who lived there how true
Places like that need to be restored. ..not just let go...its kinda sad
It is sad. It's like the life & energy the house once had is dieing.
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.
@@sallymay3643 good it should never rise up again either especially with tRump Twitter fingers in office
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.

Love these old historical places you show. A long gone part of history.
You certainly know your stuff
Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting
Thank you I learned more about this house from you. Then i did watching the video. Lol. Thank you. ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'll take it. Please, PLEASE tell me where it's at. I've done construction work all my life. I have an Arkansas Journeyman's Electrical Licenses. I can restore this.
It would cost you a fortune.
I dont understand! You would think someone would love to have that old historical house to restore & bring back to life. Its beautiful!
Places like old Southern mansions excite me. They are sometimes haunted because of the Civil War....restless spirits....
Mostly the slaves that worked them
Cool old house! Too bad it was not kept up. Imagine what it looked like in it's prime.
Yes! It had to be gorgeous!
I bet
So cool! I adore the buzzard, they hiss but are harmless. My Grandma has some living in her woods. The babies hiss too but you could pet them they were little white fluff balls. Great video as always you all!
So it’s normal for them to hiss at us like that ? Ha

I love that upstairs window with the vines,it must have been a beautiful house back in the day.
The family that inherited that house probably
Couldn’t afford to keep it up
Really wish we could bring these beautiful old houses back to life!!😘 Thanks for showing us!!!! And stay safe 😘!!!!!!

I agree...❤
that tiny stairway and additional "apartment " would have been a servants quarters years ago.
I thunk you’re right.
when it was first built they probably had separate housing for slaves.
Heather Tackett a slaves quarter u mean
Possibly. House slave.
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.
Mr. Vulture, Real Estate Agent. 😄 💗
🤣
That's a good one, hissing his way to stardom
Kinda shy for a realtor... Lol!
So a lawyer lives there now... Got it!
No haunted house; any strange hissing sounds just come from the Goober Bird. The outside of the house is the scariest part...
That was a huge old mansion. Baby buzzard kinda fit in with the odd 70's carpeted art walls and the fully carpeted staircase that led that very private man cave apartment! So creepy and so out of place. Surprising even w/o stuff great find & video.
Thanks we liked it too! Was good even without the stuff.
I've never heard a bird make that type of noise before
Melissm
I believe what you are hearing are Cicadas
Definitely abandoned in the 80's. The bricks on the third level seem to be original. I wish who ever remodeled in in the 80's left it alone. If they tried to sell it I'm not surprised they couldn't! The last owner ruined the architecture. Why I hate the 80's so much when it came to decoration.
Grace White I'm guessing 80's as well! I had those very paint colors in my house in 1984! AND the Nutone intercom system!
Haha.... Yep, I remember the blue toilets in our first home. They were all the rage.
I think the blue toilet's though, were from the 60's
My inlaws have that exact blue tub and sink, they built their house in 1964. She desperately wants to remodel, but Pop says it's a good steel tub, no need to get rid of it haha
Agreed the 60s-80s were the absolute worst time of decor and architecture. Possibly the 90s too but not as tacky as the 80s.
You said it didn't smell????are you kidding??? I could smell the place through my lap top!!!!!!!!

Roberta Hubert haha nice comment i like it.

Such a shame this was and could still be a beautiful home, why do people just let these home's decay??
Just sad love the video
Yes most likely would have fallen right in.
Too many bad memories..I just cannot look at all that I wasn’t even living back then...and I was having flashbacks😞😞😞😞

Thanks gene. :)
Gene Conlon i think its screams of tye all the black souls that were tortured and or killed upon passing through that house and grounds it lies on
The circular staircase was for the servants, the attic was their quarters
Slaves.
claudermiller .... freshen up on your history.
War ended 1865 ... this house was built well after that.
I would love to refurbish this house!!! It's got great lines and architecture!
Me too, I wonder where in Tennessee it is located.
Lilith Brantley. Gut the kitchen. All that black mold is dangerous... deadly stuff. New sheet rock.... all new insulation. Glass. Storm windows...new carpet. Probably 6 figures just to get up to code
It still salvageable. It could be a gorgeous home again.
brian fissel YES...IT SURELY COULD!! The layout is absolutely amazing!...If refurbished..that wud be once again a beautiful home!!
Yes but you would have to tear out all the wall to get rid of the mold. That stuff is toxic and can cause brain damage and all sorts of neurological illness's , It would be very expensive to remodel.

Its haunted...

I think the bird could have been a young turkey vulture. It still had fuzz on its head and was probably still learning to fly.
What an amazing home this was at one time! So big and so much character. Such a great find!!! Did you take the vulture home as a pet because he really loves you guys! Lol
Ha yeah he lives in a much nicer home now. 😅
Your sound effects when you look into the toilets are hilarious. Like a frog of some sort 😅
Great buy... I will love to fix and invest in an old house. This house have lots of potential. Gorgeous.

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 :)
cydney fightmaster I believe this is exactly what happened here!
It just breaks my heart to see how people have treated this - and old houses like it.
Rick you did good at filming this explore. I bet that was a beautiful home back in the day. That carpeted stairway was a little weird & led to interesting rooms.
Wouldn't it be neat to see pictures of the house, inside & outside 2hen the people were living there ?
Great video.. Really enjoyed it..
Thank you so much for sharing your informative video. I could tell there was a number of things that were not original to a 1800's mansion. However it was a great video.
It looks to me like most of the remodeling was done in the 1970s. So it was abandoned a while after that.
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.
beautiful old house someone should restore it
Felt so sorry for the vulture. He/she was pretty upset that you guys were walking through his house. I think I might have apologized and maybe not explored, for fear of further offending the bird. but I'm glad you kept going it was interesting.
That bird was IN NO MOOD!
Sassy bird
NO wonder the bird can't sale the place, he is to unfriendly to would be buyers
Ellen Gregory your clearly not from the South that isn't a bird its locust 😒
that wasn't a bird, it was a mosquito
Probably sick, from its posture, not flying away.
I would definitely live there.. u can almost feel the history from just looking at this place!!!
Quite the find guys! Looked like an old "bachelor pad" from the seventies up on the third floor, lol! I loved the first floor, but then the next two were all redone with that "gaudy" 70's decor! Shame to see such elegance destroyed. Thanks for the tour guys and great camera handling!
Thanks Judy!
Beautiful home!!! It's just really sad to see it rotting away!!! It made me cry, just thinking about how much work goes into these beautiful homes only to see this....y'all did a wonderful job tho...thanks for sharing...
Anita Snider - were you really crying?
Same, it's so sad to see something so grand and beautiful just left to rot away.
That top floor was super interesting... and the carpeted stairway /walls so weird ..it looked like the gold carpet that was so popular in the 60's. Looks like it got a makeover in that era. I loved seeing the falcon... we don't have those here ! That glass dresser has actually come back in trend in the last few years. Bekah was so cute looking around corners before going in lol.
It looks somewhat serene without lights. I am glad you care to give us the Urban Explorer's perspective.
15:40 Colored tubs/toilets were popular in 1950’s-1960’s
I love older homes. Beautiful woodwork, built in cabints.
Hey you might want to wear scarves around your neck and then if you get into some mold you can use them around your nose and mouth. A suggestion!
Thanks !
Exploring with Rick & Bekah hey another suggestion a respirator is on Amazon n face masks are somewhat cheap
Pamela Gideon it would be better than nothing.
bad recomendation.....only breathing mask.. i'm dying from mold. ca prove that also. infected my family not knowing and caused mothers dealth , and a ton of friends sick from being so highly toxic, take my work ..yr fools if ya don't wear breathing mask. not just a white one.
Pamela Gideon u look
You are getting better finds now , that's 2 BIG house's , its looking better !
Wish there was history included about the home.
I looked into it. Didn’t really find anything. Sorry
@@ExploringwithRickBekah you can always contact the county courthouse
Great video guys! Looks like It's been abandoned since the early 80's I would ay. Too bad it has suffered so much damage from the elements, it was a beautiful home!
Love the cicadas , must have been late summer
Hi 🙋🏾♀️ glad to have found your channel. Very interesting. Thanks for taking us along. Do y’all have stories of every place? This is my first video what hung y’all and I love watching ppl exploring abandoned houses with a story behind them. Anyway thanks y’all so much . Have a blessed week darlings
Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Great to have you with us. :) welcome !!
That was a bed frame for a water bed, and the whole room probably was mirrors. LOL.
Beautiful old home to restore someday however the cicadas would drive me crazy! Awesome video.
Thanks again for a great video so sad people let these houses go down like that
Do they go fix them up...what about a director making a movie that be neat they could sell and make profit.
Good to know the history

All plantation homes in the world should be burned !!Burned down to nothing.. these homes benefited the slave owners. And slaves died on those plantations.
Shirley Oliva yet
Great video! Nice changing up duties with camera and guide, nice to see bekah's face for a change 😉
Her face is much easier to look at. :)
Love it! It’s my dream house!
i nave to say rick is such a gentleman to you bekah this is very rare today it means he was raised right. im trying to teach my grandson to be this way,
love watching ur adventures
That bird confused me. I didn’t know if it was a possum, Turkey or hybrid. Turns out, according to the comments, it was a vulture. I never knew birds hiss! 😂😂😂😂
I am so Glad you let her show the House,That was great of you!!!"
Beautiful house! I love the very top level, minus that creepy bird!
We'll the bird is not creepy at all, silly. It is just being a bird.
It's a Baby Vulture, Mr Bird was just as scared as them, they hiss alot
The bird is guber 🤨
The color red is everywhere. They carried their decor through out like most wealthy people do.
Wow, a very cool place with a very cool bird!
That mansion belongs to the vultures!
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. You might look goofy doing it on video but better than spider webs i say!
Funny how they had a handicapp bathtub all the way at the top of the house with the narrow spiral staircase. Lol
Oh ahah. I didn’t even consider that
Full-Throttle Princess. C out your
They are great! Good job guys! What a huge 🏠 they had 💰 back then to own sumthing like that... Tennessee blues
You have so many comments.. i hate to ask this. .have you received any videos along the Ohio River? There is credible information and plantation homes, lots of energy...i walked through the Covington riverside and it was too much had to leave, the hospital especially, Cherokee and a burial mound not far...
I’d love to visit that area. Sounds very interesting
Amazing video guy's but hey do You see some Ghosts around that abandon house:)))) 😁😳😬 👻
Very cool. That's the type of house I'd love to buy, renovate and turn into a BnB. Out of curiosity what type camera do y'all use?
This was shot with a Sony a7 2
That house would cost you thousand and thousands of dollars to restore it back to it's beauty...
Never seen a culture that close before. You guys always find some cool places that hasn't been visited a hundred times.
this place is a respiratory infection waiting to happen with all the black mold..dont breathe in too deep : )
That music is perfect for this kind of video....creepy!
This was an amazing home not too many years ago. Wondering where the people went that lived there last. I think maybe in the beginning that top floor was servant's quarters. Thanks so much for the adventure.
Thanks for sharing.Its ashame them homes are left to go to crap like that.Thats a beautiful place.
Y’all sure do have the cicadas there like we get here in the South!
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.
To bad that house was ruined. It looks like the flat roof with the range top thown
out on it does not have enough pitch. That and all of the additions were the
demise of a once incredible home.
Thanks Rick & Bekah. With Regards Ody Slim
Ody Slim I was thinking the same thing....why make a roof so flat?

~Rick~ "Yeah, it's August in Tennessee."
Yeah, well, it's November in Pennsylvania. Lol.
Another great video, as always.
Ha indeed it is. Thanks.
