Exploring a Millionaires Abandoned Mansion - Everything Left Behind
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Ten years after the owners passed, we go inside and see what remains of this 19th Century mansion. Once the owner of a successful department store a man decided he needed a home, and in 1918 he built it from scratch. The house later fell into the hands of his family when he passed but the disrepair and maintenance was too much to keep up with. Later, those family members passed and the mansion has been sitting vacant ever since. Over the years thieves and looters have overcame the mansion taking and tearing up what they will. We will be entering the homestead and documenting its remaining beauty before it may get any worse.

This place was absolutely amazing to explore. I must ask , what was your favorite part of this beautiful mansion? Mine was the golden statues of the baby boy in the bathroom, really grand .
and thank you for all of the support from my subscribers. You guys rock. Stay safe ✌
I loved the brick 🧱 and exterior.
For me it was the piano.
I loved the ceiling that was mint condition in the kids room
The whole thing was gorgeous I loved the staircase the most . Felt very sad though all that effort and now just left to rot not by choice clearly . Imagine what it was like newly built . What the family that first lived in it were like .grand old house .. you can almost see it in black and white if you think hard
I think you meant to write 20th century home, since the house was built in 1918. Turn of the century maybe.
Is anyone else restoring this in their mind as they go along.... "restore that, ebay those, gotta get someone in for the mold, new paint job there, that vase is perfect as is...."
Yep I would love to see it fixed up
washed the cloths gave them to the homeless, keep everything original as possible
Yes. I’m curious....does anyone own this house? Does it belong to the state? How could someone obtain this house or is it just anyone’s to take? So many questions.
Look up squatters rights
Yep, I'm ordering skips and seeing what I want to keep and what I want to sell. I must google how to strip paint from ceilings.
It's heartbreaking watching houses like this being abandoned rot the ground.. most of item still useful and can donate to needy people
I agree!
Right
Those “needy people” are probably the ones who basically took it over once it was abandoned.... and instead of taking care of it, filled it with trash and let it fall apart around them.
@@stellarjayatkins4749 wtf??? your comment is so prejudiced i just can´t.... you are basically saying that poor people (needy people) are thieves.... people need to stop putting those two groups together, there are a lot poor people that are good people and never stole one single thing in their lives
@@emanuelcarvalho8510 No that isn’t what I said at all.
Watching this video reminds me that "You can't take it with you" no worldly possessions can follow a person to their grave
❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Exactly!
True
What's the present owner thinking to leave it like that.
They probably ran out of money and just spent it all. Had no way of paying for maintenance, taxes etc. So they just left.
Yup...exactly right!!!
material things were never meant for the grave? They should be enjoyed while alive...I don't know why people say that dumb shit
I worked in a small downtown Dayton law firm in the early 1980's, where one of the three partners owned and and lived in this Traxler Mansion at the time with his young family. The owner was an immigration attorney, and his wife Vietnamese, with two young children, and a nanny. At the time, the property was unbelievably beautiful and grand beyond belief, with the third floor being a ballroom. I've always loved this impressive home, which is modeled after the Biltmore House, in NC.; and it's been so sad to see it turn to this state of disrepair as the neighborhood is no longer very desirable but wouldn't it be wonderful to somehow save the home?
You know this house?! I want the info I’d love to buy it and restore it
Wow, I live in Dayton & didn't realize this was the traxler mansion. More recent videos I've seen has shown the vandalism has gotten a bit worse inside :( the mirror was broken and spray painted, etc
Unfortunately it looks like the home was demolished recently after a devastating fire 😔
I knew it. I live in NE Ohio but have family Dayton. Miamisburg, Kettering, Bellbrook. I was trying to narrow it down but thanks for pointing it out.
@@dizzysinclaire6795
It was criminal. There was two fires, including one which happened two weeks before the manor's auction. It was a vile, malicious act full of spite. Maybe somebody who wasn't in for its inheritance and took a last resort revenge...
Destructive imbecility, greed and petty grudge...
i always wonder where these people are now. Off living in another multi million dollar mansion, homeless, in a regular 3 bedroom 2.5 bath, on the run, or of course even worse, dead...wish we knew the story to these millionaires or ex millionaires
101% agreed, I get really curious to know too
Me too like what happened you had to leave your house
They are dead.
You would think that they would have some sort of family to take care of this kinda stuff? It would be cool to know the whole story behind these homes.
@@andreajuvonen6032 not everyone has an actually family though. Some families are literally just Grandparents Mom, Dad and Child. Everyone’s parents dont always have siblings so if both your parents are rich but both were only children in their families, you have no Aunts, no Uncles and no cousins. Its uncommon but I know someone who’s family is that small so Ik there are people put there with minimal family.
I will never understand why some people that explore abandoned places find the need to trash them and graffiti the walls.
I love the way this channel brings some love and respect to these places. Always a fan!
We truly are such a wasteful society
Foxy Thunder My sentiments exactly!
Yeah, sick society... Really sad!!!
Seriously!
We have entire culdisacs sitting empty, huge buildings abandoned, mansions sitting to rot and even entire ghost towns. All this while there is an epidemic of homelessness. It makes no sense. So many clothes sitting in that house while families can't afford to buy clothing. It's beyond tragic!
And some rich investors just leave these houses to rot whilst so many are homeless.
My gosh this home just stole my whole heart it's absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, man I wish I could buy it and restore it back to what it once was....Why on earth would anyone just leave it to rot away like that?? I think I left a piece of myself there 😍 thank you for taking us along with you I've been watching your videos for awhile now and you never disappoint man thank you....💟
In the end all our things mean nothing.
Play ground of the local kids or just vandalism so sad to destroyed and left to ruin such a beautiful solid home Thankyou for sharing with us .
I know people want to steal valuables but the level of ransacked in this house is so upsetting
It was like they were hoarders. Or had to get out of that house VERY quickly
Yeah I had to stop watching - the absolute *carnage* and piles of junk was too much to look at after a while. Maybe I'm just a clean-freak.
@@MeMyselfAndEyeTeeth it’s overwhelming and creepy in its own way
Respect the house. Never take something from it cause it could have bad juju and you’re bringing it back with you
This is actually really sad. This house is absalutely beautiful, but it's just overrun by decay. One day, I hope someone will buy this place, and restore it too it's former glory. This mantion deserves it!
I think thieves are responsible for a lot of the trashed look. All the drawers are out
@@bombtwenty3867 I know. That's kinda what I meant. It's so sad that thieves trashed this home, where memeries were made
REEaH See The mold abatement would be really costly, since it is everywhere.
They might not restore but demolition will follow.
If not they should take action soon.
People could set fire or all is getting more rotten away.
It could have been a school for the arts or some sort of function centre, such a waste😞
This looks like a episode of hoarders but way cleaner then the actual houses on the show
So it’s just a dirty ass house
So true. Most of those hoarder houses should be burned to the ground after the owners are 302d to a hospital. Fuck that shit of trying to reason with them
@@chrismc.4437 should we also burn down the houses of other people with mental disorder?
You know the morons that trashed the place figured, it's not my house.. what do I care?!
It’s a pitty that idiots have been in and trashed a great house. Do people theses days have no respect
Its an abandoned building no one can or wants to buy. Its going to become decrepid no matter what.
@Anthony Sanford Democrats? No it's just plain TARDED idiots ... Only a Idiot Republican would say that.
@Anthony Sanford Imagine being this much of a right wing moron.
@Anthony Sanford SS troopers? Wrong side mate. The comparison you're looking for is Communist/Bolshevik. C'mon
@Anthony Sanford What exactly does the 1619 project have to do with German schools in the 1930s?
You do realize that Antifa was around in the 1920s, fire bombing political figures and civilians right? It was the marxists that pushed transgenderism, atheism, and critical theory in the schools during Weimar Germany.
The NSDAP was against all of that and won the favor of the people of Germany. Germany was a democracy when Hitler was voted into office; a man that was loved by a majority of the country up through the war.
Democrats today have more similarities to the Bolshevik uprising in Russia's 1910s than National Socialist party in the 1930s.
The fact that so much was left tells me that the last head of the household could not afford to live there, and had to abandon the house immediately. All the clothes, furniture, computers, televisions, food, piano, and medicine in the cabinet. The family had to leave immediately. They didn't even have time to have a yard sale.
I have noticed a common theme linked to this scenario is fleeing the law...especially with lavish households. The owner fears being prosecuted, packs only what is valuable to them..and flees to another country. It's sad , but really makes you think of WHY they had to leave.
Probably evading taxes. Ive heard stories of business owners avoiding taxes and the irs coming after them. They typically leave on short notice and take immediate things and flea the country.
That Nintendo 64 made me SO nostalgic . I love the effort I see put into all your videos . Never stop doing what you do and adventuring . Unique lifestyle and channel 🙏🏻🤟🏻
Did they find the console?
The N64 box was cool, but I really enjoyed seeing the U-Force. That thing is worth a little bit of money these days
Still have my original Nintendo game ,the one with duck hunt. Works perfectly. Wonder what it is worth
I appreciate how respectful you are to the precious homeowners and to their belongings that were left behind. A devastating loss to them, I’m sure.
Even though it's just a structure a home being built and moved into is so exciting and comforting. It can hold wonderful memories. Also bad ones a tornado of emotions. I'm fascinated by what walls can hold!
What a beautiful house, underneath all that. . ...stuff. My favorite item was the staircase, that bannister was amazing. Great video. Thanks
If the walls could only talk...
Yup, my thoughts exactly!!!
They do. But you gotta get pretty high up their level
If ONLY the walls of all these abandoned places could talk. Imagine the stories behind those walls they'd have to tell us. Instead these walls always only leave all of us asking as to, "Why" "Why" "Why"??
yes alot of sex alot
In some cases it's probably best they can't.
I'm grateful you made this video because this mansion burned down 2 nights ago. It was a total loss. It was on the brink of restoration too.
All I can say is WOW!!!!
Love the videos, not long started watching them. Paul from Scotland
It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful old building rotting. I hope someone saves it.
I had a dream about a exploring an abandoned place almost like this one, and now a few days later this video popped up on my recommended
Same
This house looks like it was passed down thru generations. The occupants must of left with only the clothes on there back. My favorite room was the top one with the beautiful window.
Awesome video dude. My favorite was the detail in the stair case. They don't make stuff like that any more.
The mansion has a resident evil vibe to it but the woodwork reminds me a lot of the insides of the Titanic.
Doesn't at all feel evil to me. Just feels sad.
@@amylee3531 same
I would have a field day in there. Looking at the books and papers.
Seriously!! I always think this same thing. I’d get caught up in one room reading things for hours lol
Yes! We think alike. I would be trying to figure out who? Why? When?
I wonder what happened to the family.
@@lindseyhendrix2405 same here!
Me too. I would get so lost in the papers & photos. So sad that they couldn’t/didn’t take their personal papers & pictures.
Can you imagine that place being restored? Omg!
The repairs and cleaning would probably outweigh the cost of the house. Not to mention the maintenance on the outside. Its so unfortunate the owners didnt sell it to someone who would have taken care of it
Too bad the historical society couldn't do something there. Has to have a lot of history in this place!
I live near Detroit, and there are 100s of beautiful historical homes just ran down to the ground. It’s really sad how this happens...
That place is huge! Can u imagine how beautiful it looked 50 yrs ago ? That wood work is incredible, & the ceilings & mirrors, oh it makes me sick to see it in its grave conditions.😥. Im sure the owner played piano. I would hate to have to clean that place up😳. I believe those stairways could be used in another home, & so would alot of them mirrors!!... What a find🕵👍
I love the way you show all the details in the rooms and even stop to look at old pictures trying to imagine the home when they actually lived in it and what it was like. I've tried to watch others but they don't seem to have the passion you do and they seem to do it for follows.
Sounds like the economy crashed around 2009 and the store closed so they took all the unsold merchandise and put it up on the third floor. Possibly with intent to sell online but the economy in 2010 got so bad that they had to ditch everything including the house. That is my theory anyways. I remember the 2010's. It was horrible
@Lawtrina Kerkula lol u high or something?
Just a theory y'all, I could be entirely wrong
@Ezequiel R. Gutierrez Couldn't have said it better myself
2006 from the Bush recession.
@@truth4004 I got my own theory but I am sure the creators would rather keep this video both apolitical but factual just the same. Fact: The economy's was in shambles in both 2009 and 2010. This store, whatever it was, obviously was successful prior to the great recession/depression 2.0
I’m so curious to know what happened to the family that lived there and what department store they were part of.
The detailing in this home is beautiful! I swear if I had the money , I’d empty it and preserve the structure and woodwork... so stunning...
I get a family not being able to afford the upkeep on a huge place like that but...they couldn’t sell it? No one wanted it? Like not the city, county or state? That’s too beautiful a building to let rot. That staircase was magnificent. All those beautiful mirrors and not one of them broken. Amazing. No graffiti either. Odd that the family left behind their children’s books and toys. It looked like from the clothing racks on the third floor like maybe a rummage sale had been held at one point. Or did the family run a thrift shop out of there? Interesting. Great video. Loved the poignant music too.
The family did run the business through the home late into the lifespan as a last ditch effort. It's sad what happened but its beauty in decay is marvelous. I'm super glad you enjoyed :)
@Dark Exploration Films Oh I see, thank you for the info about the business. 👍
Lawtrina Kerkula What a wacko! This comment needs to be deleted.
@@GLING17 it was removed. Thank you for the heads up
It has ghosts
I have never seen a vid anywhere of a place so utterly trashed, but yet you can still see quality here. The staircases, hall and balcony are to die for, absolutely fantastic and so is the exterior design and layout. Such a great great shame that it all gone to ruin. I just can't understand why or how
This is such a shame when a beautiful home, filled with antiques btw, has been torn up, destroyed, & turned into a type of hoarders paradise. Lots of 80’s era things (refrigerator, big screen tv-we had both of those)-it’s like “classy antique home meets low end items”. The Yamaha grand piano is itself a valuable item! Idk if this beautiful old gem could be restored. Can you find out any info on why it was deserted, leaving everything behind ? Thanks for sharing. Oh, and: yes, I enjoyed the video, but to see so many beautiful, priceless antiques left unappreciated for mold and mildew to take over, leaves me sad-plus, the WASTE of what was clearly tossed aside should be a crime!
Tv was probably from the late 90s early 2000s
It's very sad to me that people feel the need to go into a place like that and distroy it. Thank you for giving the family area some respect. It looked really nice. Thank you. God bless 💖
You “I’m standing on someone’s/so much junk”
Me “just hope there’s not someONE underneath it!
I’ve become absolutely hooked on watching on all of these type of videos/exploring, it’s staggering all of what people will just leave, some even looking like they just popped out to the shops and will be back in 5 mins. Yours are definitely one of the best on TH-cam, but working out the audio to be a tiny bit louder would be awesome, or then I guess it could just be me.
Keep making them though, and I and thousands of others will keep watching them and THANK YOU for making them and running the channel.
Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿
Oh and my favorite bit, when you tidied up that little area in the lounge to show off what it would of looked like. I’ve never seen couches in that exact style, the shape and how they looked facing each other and curved like that making an almost circle, dunno why but I really like the look. 🛋❤️
Just curious as to why you have the comments on your new “mtv mega mansion” video disabled. Mildly frustrating.
Yes! Very irritating
Your videos are simply amazing, thank you. Extremely beautiful home that has been very abused...what a major loss. My favorites were the piano, staircase and the architecture of the house itself. One of your best that I've seen so far....
Bet that was a really dope home back in its day. Love all the stuff left behind. Thanks for the upload 😃👍
I know its not intentional, but this guy cracks me up, he says stuff in his videos that makes me laugh to the point I have to stop the clip to regain my composure. 😂😂
The office area off the kitchen was the butler's pantry where the more valuable tableware was stored and the butler supervised from.
Houses of this size and quality usually had a vault or large safe where the good silver was locked up.
I’ve found myself becoming addicted to these abandoned videos, this home is amazing but sad at the same time. If I could just give a bit of constructive criticism...I’ve noticed you “explorers” are young and know very little about architectural features of homes and of furnishings. I cringe every time I hear false information about items in or a part of the house, which is pretty much every abandoned video I watch. For example, the “main room” is actually a foyer (pronounced for-yay), the “shelf” in the kitchen is a bakers rack, the “office” off the kitchen is a butlers pantry...there are more examples but you get the picture. I’m not at all trying to put your video down, it was great and I really enjoyed it. I just really wish you young explorers would consider taking some history of furnishing or beginning architecture classes, I believe the added knowledge would add enrichment to your videos.
What a shame to let such a beautiful place get ruined. Too much stuff but some of the furniture is beautiful. That bathroom is amazing. Very interesting tour. Thank you for sharing.
This would have been a beautiful venue for weddings etc!
I love the description you guys leave for these homes. I always wonder what they looked like in there prime, what memories were created. I find it sad they are left like this, it was looted ect but so grateful that you & your team get to capture and show us what little is left before it is totally gone! So, thank you!
If there were Youtubie awards, this would win for best score. That solo piano at the beginning and end was incredible! Coincidentally, my favorite find of the tour was the Yamaha grand piano!
Haha me too! We need a Yamaha baby grand, don't we :)?
What a waste that things weren’t donated. We’re such a throwaway society it’s really sad. Great video.
Usually, when belongings that are worth money and were not donated, means something unexpected occured.
Maybe the gsmily left due to a member fleeing the law and/or the family expected to return and was unable to do so in a timely matter...
I can see how this situation could occur.
The main stair is the most elaborate feature of the interior.
Naturally finished woodwork defines four arches across the back wall of the hall. The stair begins at one side of the room, ascends to an opening beneath the first arch, and turns to continue to the second floor behind the paneling, spindles and fretwork that fills the space beneath the two center arches. The door to the kitchen is beneath the fourth arch. Pocket doors connect the hall to the living and dining rooms at either side and a columned mantel enhances a fireplace on a side wall.
The intro is so sad but at the same time so beautiful
If someone had handed me down a mansion like this with historical value I would take care of it and ensure that if I couldn't, that it went into the hands of those who would and could.
mustange550 Amen I’d take care of it and I’d Fabuloso the hell out of it.
It sort of looks like a hoarding situation to me, rather than a place being looted. there is far too little random destruction, and no spray paint.
I m with you looks like hoarder
I agree, there’s definitely an element of eccentricity about the stuff that’s scattered everywhere. Vandals surely wouldn’t take the time to fill that bathroom with junk.
Yes! I'm surprised at the things left that people didn't try to resell!! All that furniture is an antiquer's dream!!
There was no hoarding going on. Its been lived in, probably by homeless people. Probably for months at a time. The owners were old people with good taste but you see kids toys, etc. Squatters, mark my word.
@@The-Portland-Daily-Blink that makes sense. I saw half filled trash bags, like someone started to clean and just stopped.
Thanks for taking us along. It was very interesting
Me, I would have sat in the car.
4:30 That tripod that said "Focal" was a Kmart brand from the 60's to the 80's, so it might had been the former owners. Beautiful house, but Mother Nature is looking to occupy it.
That house could be turned around quite quickly at the moment. I’d bet that the local kids are in there every night though.
I didn't see anything structurally wrong with it.
I would love to see it turned around, would be amazing
Brenda Manners - same here! 🤗👍
Somethings are left to be as they are. That's the beauty of the heritage of something like this. Very special.
Another jewel left abandoned... Thank you for this video, Devin keep up the good work ❤️
Powerball = finding house, buying house, refurbishing house= splendid perfection
4:01, that fire place! ❤ What a beautiful home. Really sad to see all the rummage.
“The ice cream man is outside” 😂
Thank you for exploring. You can tell that people use to live there is rich. The shoud donated those stuff to the needy.
Beautiful home. Someone could’ve had a major yard sale or auction! What a loss.
Wow !! What a BEAUTIFUL house!
So much detail in the wood work and all the beautiful furniture! I can only imagine how it used to look back in the day!
This mansion has good bones and can be fixed to be beautiful again. Just takes the right person!
The furniture and details of the wood banister simply amazing. This home is an interior designer's canvas. Thank you for sharing. I hope someone restore this gorgeous home.
As something of a not-too-messy hoarder myself, I can’t even think about the random little memorabilia with so much value to me being strewn about like so much garbage. It’s like when the person dies the home dies if it isn’t saved. Great vid!
Beautiful house that clearly had cherished memories for almost 100 years (or until it was abandoned). I wonder why it has to just sit there and crumble into nothing. There should be some kind of law that allows it to be auctioned off by the state, but only to be restored not torn down. Those light fixtures and the mirrors are awesome and that stunning furniture in the living room and dining room that all matched and the velvet wasn't even damaged. I love the hand crafted wood throughout but man that banister was breathtaking. It's cool to imagine what it must have been like with a family in it.
Sadly it makes me think of the past few years in America. 4 years ago things were safe and content and now our home is falling down around us and we feel totally abandoned.
If it belongs to the state, it must be that there is just not enough funds for someone to even do just that, auction things and sell the property ?#@!? I'd love to get my hands on that place. I would probably due it for free for just the enjoyment and value of the place if cleaned up.
I can hardly say what was the best part of the mansion, cause the whole place was phenomenal. Every inch of this place,so much artwork and detail.
Again,it makes me sad that we're living in such a wasteful society.
Thanks for another jewel,Devin. But this place is more like a diamond.
While it's too bad the place has gone into decay the part most posters don't see is the story behind why. Locally we have several empty homes. One is easy... the people passed on and the kids wont part with the family homestead. OTOH, they at least have the lawn cut so it's not a blight on the area. The other was a case of the owner passing and he has no immediate family so stuck in probate, with the additional issue of a second mortgage that was taken out before the market dropped. On top of that the guy's estate is in serious debt. House went on the market with no buyers, even at reduced price. Eventually the bank will take it, but that will be several more years. The house in this video likely needs a million bucks in repair / renovations so can't make a judgement without knowing the local market value. Might be worth the investment and might not. Sometimes they find that mold has taken over (leaky roof?) and it needs to be bulldozed. Now time for a comment on the video itself... while most empty homes fall into this typical kind of disarray it's always the same personal crap in a time capsule from 10+ years ago. The more interesting aspects to some people will be in the architecture, both inside and outside. (close up shots) If you want to know about the "bones" of an old home you look in places where nothing has changed.... the attic, basement, and even some of the larger closets. This is where nobody ever paints or decorates so usually original to an older house. I have seen coal fired heating systems and even gas light systems in older homes. I have also seen tin ceilings in older barns of rich people's homes. How about laundry rooms for the maids in the era of hand washing clothes? These are the rare gems!
Incredibly Beautiful! Perfect opening music! So Sad to see it simply left to deteriorate .😢
The house seems to have good bones. Why doesn’t someone buy it and fix it.
Love from Portugal 🇵🇹 ! Love your channel
That n64 tho
⬆️ What that guy said
So sad to see such a beautiful place go to waste and be trashed like it has.
Absolutely heartbreaking and shame on those who trashed it!
This place must have been such an elegant place. Too bad there are people who are so destructive.
This house had musicians living there. You don't see a Hammond Organ too often these days. That looks like it's a Hammond C3 or C2 In fact I think there are two Hammonds in this house.
I really love your channel man. Keep them coming.
This was my aunt's old estate. I can prove it, I have many pictures living there. She and my mom do commercial real estate. Contact me, please.
Why did she abandon it?
I’d love to see pictures from when this house was in its glory. Why was it abandoned like this?
No, it was my aunts
Was it abandoned due to mold?
Absolutely beautiful and so sad at the same time.
The houses in Detroit, once looked like this! Most are just burned out shells now.😪
Lawtrina Kerkula Nutjob spammer! You need to be blocked from this channel.
Poor Detroit. It truly is devastating what a great economy they had a booming car industry and the city alone had almost 800,000 people. The majority had great jobs at the factories and the city was so alive. So so sad to have seen (from a distance, I live in Denver) the factories close and people losing jobs they thought they'd have until retirement. Families that could, moved out of Detroit for good, and the rest were left to watch their city turn into a gutted, burned out wasteland of despair as crack took them by storm (along with the rest of the country, but Detroit truly suffered the most lasting damage for it). All it needs is an industry to plant a new seed to bring in jobs which will draw people in and businesses will open and clean up of all the abandoned homes would make room for apartments and houses which creates even more jobs and brings in more people. But most importantly they would need to give assistance to the people who have been left behind whose lives were shattered by the closing of the car manufacturers. They need housing and to be offered treatment from simple counseling to drug and alcohol treatment if they so choose.
My heart breaks for Detroit. They have needed a major reset button for far too long.
Elegant. Beautiful proportions and architectural details. Preserve it. Clean it up.
Homeless families and empty mansions. What have we become?
Agreed.
Your right, just think how many families are living in the streets, would jump at the chance to move in just tell them clean it up a little and you can live there, I am sure you would have people lined up waiting to move in, what a waste, it would be cheaper on the tax payer just to have places like this cleaned up and house them, and not to forget all that close in there that they also could use, it makes me angry to see this kind of waste, only in America.
@@jm1551701
You really think people living on the streets can afford to live in a 100 year old house like that, even if just straight up gifted it?
Lol you can’t just give people free houses because someone didn’t pay their bills. Not very nuanced thinking
To be fair, it would probably cost more to get this historic structure up to code rather than completely rebuilding a new home. Excluding the property itself, the structural damage alone would probably cost more to repair the actual homes current value.
Obviously, that doesn't answer our homeless problems. However, explains why most historical homes are not simply converted into homes for the needy. It simply costs more to reinforce and refurbish over leveling and rebuilding.
Cannot believe the damage that was done!! The waste is deplorable, many things would help so many people.
For those thinking it was lost due to Obama or in 2008 due to recession, if the banks have it they sell them and do estate sale as fast as possible to get their money. If its fully owned and paid for, it sits if no family or will.
This doesnt fit the situation of losing it to the bank
Don't know if anyone has ever told you. But you have a very calming voice . Your videos have a over all relaxing effect. I seriously sat down after losing it on someone flying a drone over me and forgot about it. 🤪Thanks. You maybe my new therapy. And that says a lot for a lady w a BA in psychology. 🤫🤪Make today amazing and always keep moving forward.
I'm disappointed the fridge wasn't open :(
Same
Go do it yourself😅
Why ?
the fridge, might be someone inside lock them selve forever.
It so sadly abandoned this beautiful mansion.
@@terrionlacy976 if I knew where this was and had the means to travel there I certainly would. With a mask on of course lmao I actually have done something similar. Travelled with a cooler full of food, truck broke down, forgot about the cooler and some several months later went back to the broken down vehicle to clean it out to be scraped.. opened the cooler and it was what youd expect. There was a gallon of milk in the car itself too that exploded. Didnt even smell anymore but the maggots and flys were horrendous.
Thank u for showing such a beautiful amazing mansion... one thing i hate in life is when others enter someone else’s property abandoned or not and steal things from them, mess them up and the list goes on, as for u u r the most amazing, honest and trustworthy person that I’ve ever watched on TH-cam, honestly my favourite part is ur honesty... God Bless u. 🥰🥰🥰
Only way to clean this place up is to steal, absolutely horrible.

It’s really really sad 😔 but i absolutely understand exactly what u mean, it’s so unfortunate.
That place reeks. I can smell it through the screen.
I’m Glad I’m not the only one 😂
That old house is so well built, it'll be standing 100 years from. Solid and stout.
I was waiting for him to touch the keyboard keys🎹 😔
I KNOW I WANNA SEE IF IT WORKS
The exterior is so beautiful, I cried.
I"m really surprised this building is in the shape it is as it's on the national register for historic places. From the looks of the merchandise upstairs I"m guessing it was one the dept store owner's children who lived there. (they kept the stuff for nostalgic reasons). (or grandchildren but they would hvae been born in the late 40's or possibly 50's). The man died young at 69, in 1977. So I'm guessing one of his children lived there and became hoarders due to his death. The children would have been in their 40's maybe when their dad died.
Can you paste a link to this on the register?

Here in Argentina that house and stuff is a treasure for many people
AWESOME INTRO!
Thanks! It was fun to make
So sad how theese beautiful old houses, with the amazing hand-worked wood, are just left to ruin
Would love to know where it’s located to see if it’s up for sale
What a place wow, it's huge and full to the brim, what makes people leave so much behind, especially when kids are involved? those radiators are amazing and I've been looking to buy them over here in the UK and they are so so expensive, some amazing stuff left behind, what a big shame it's all going to waste. Fantastic video though, thank you very much for sharing.
Why was it abandoned and never restored? The sirens outside are good hint.
I made it early. Thanks for the uploads. I really enjoy your content. 👍👍
I appreciate your support 👍
I feel sad 😢 this beautiful home just left to rot, while homeless people sleep in a vehicle or under a bridge! Our world no longer makes much sense to me!
