- Today you are coming with me to an abandoned man, that was home to a mysterious and talented designer whose creations captured the hearts of many. His success in the world of design was unparalleled.
Known for his unconventional style. the designer was a true eccentric, always pushing the boundaries of traditional norms. His bold choices and daring innovations set him apart from his peers, earning him a reputation as a true visionary in the industry.
Seeking solace from the chaos of his glamorous life, the man made a radical decision to retreat to a secluded wooden mansion deep within the heart of a dense forest. Surrounded by the serenity of nature, he found a sense of peace and inspiration that had long eluded him in the bustling cities.
One fateful day, his solitude was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of his long-lost best friend, a companion of his youth with whom he had shared countless adventures. Reunited after years of separation, they embarked on a whirlwind journey that took them to the far reaches of the world.
Together, they braved the scorching sands of the Sahara Desert, the icy heights of Mount Everest's base camp at 20,000 feet, and the vibrant landscapes of Indonesia. Each new experience deepened their bond and fueled their creative spirits, inspiring them to new heights of artistic expression.
Tragedy struck when his best friend met with a sudden and untimely demise in the kitchen of their woodland retreat, leaving the man shattered and grief-stricken. Holding his friend in his arms, he felt the weight of loss and sorrow that would linger in his heart for years to come.
A true artist in every sense, the man poured his emotions into his work, creating breathtaking paintings, exquisite clothes, intricate rugs, and other masterpieces that reflected his inner turmoil and profound experiences.
In 2019, without warning or explanation, the man vanished from the public eye, leaving behind a grand mansion filled with his creations and memories. The once-bustling estate now stands abandoned, a silent testament to the incredible figure who had once inhabited its halls.
Rumors swirled about his whereabouts and fate, but the truth remained a mystery to all. Some speculated that he had embarked on a new chapter of his life, while others believed he sought refuge in a distant land, far from prying eyes.
As time passed, the legend of the enigmatic designer endured, a reminder of his extraordinary talent, his insatiable thirst for adventure, and the enduring legacy of his artistic genius.

I found the man who owns this mansion. He is not dead, and posted on his personal blog as of April 2024. He travelled overseas in 2017, 2018, and again in 2020 to Burmese. It’s unknown if that’s still where he is at. I imagine he doesn’t return to this home simply for the memories. He doesn’t seem to handle grief well and considering he buried his partner by hand on this very property, I can see why he doesn’t wish to return. He is, if he hasn’t passed since April, 92 years old. His partner and him fell on financial hardships too well before the demise and departure which explained the houses state. Fun fact, this man bought this house from a business man who earlier committed suicide. Beautiful pieces inside which I wish could be preserved though.
Definitely haunted property. Very cool place indeed.
What is his name? Or how did you find him?
Caitybug can you please tell us his name or the name of the blog ?
I was thinking yes he could be as young as late 70s to early 90s .
For some reason I thought he would be up around the Himalayas or in Nepal .
I wasn't too too too far off .
Wonder what he's doing in Burma ... yes it is a very Buddhist country but last I heard they still had Civil War . Gems come from Burma .
I wonder if he's visiting an old friend ... or is there studying and meditating under a special Buddhist teacher .
My second thought is he would be on a beautiful island somewhere .
It's very sad about him losing his partner .
Please can you tell us the name of his blog .
I hope he still alive. He need to get back to his beatiful house and give all his precious lovely arts items to the museum or art gallery. He also kept some spiritual sacred stuff like the Barongs and (seems antique) stones crosses. I am from Indonesia so I recognised some of those sacred and art stuff from Bali island inside the house. He is an amazing man. Too bad he left everything owned by him behind - just like that... If I were him I will give it to the local government to make it as a must visit art gallery! I wish he is well and happy wherever he is now...

There are too many ignorant comments left to mention from people who should just say nothing at all. If you don't like it don't watch it. It is very easy to sit and criticize something you don't do yourself. This TH-camr is trying to give you a glimpse into an abandoned mansion you otherwise would have known nothing about. Bankz gives you enough info to do your own research if you want to know more. If you don't like his comments you can watch it with no sound. Be respectful of his efforts to bring you this video in the first place.
@bigbankz actually blurred what others forgot to blur... As the magazine cover in the living room.....
@@skaazy What's on the magazine?
Hey oh tall one you are respectful of persons and properties. I stopped watching others who were not. Sometimes I hear my mind screaming please save that but your calm respectful way is the best⚓️💕
I think he does an EXCELLENT job and I find this kind of exploration fascinating! I agree with you...each of these adventures into an abandoned space makes me imagine people moving about and living life in there! If the walls could talk, what a story they could tell!
@Annie497 Oh, annie, you don't respect anything. You have stated several places in the comments, how this man's art is not art. That it's basically trash, and it wouldn't belong in a museum. Because you said so. 😂 You're a wicked little imp.
I’m so happy to see that his mansion hasn’t been vandalized.
It will be now. Every time an urb-exer shows the outside of an abandoned house, vandals trash it within a month.
@@adamfitch965so awful that people do that for sure. Humans can really Suck.
It has, a bit.
@@adamfitch965 exactly, what a shame
Yet ......
This should be preserved as a museum. Hate to see art being destroyed.
I have very poor health , this has caused me to suffer from bad anxiety. I just wanted to say that your voice is very calming. I have watched all your videos over the last few weeks and i have enjoyed them all. Tonights was realky special. Thankyou so much for taking me to these wonderful places, your warmth and compassion really shine through. With love from the UK....
So sweet! ❤ in my prayers and may God Bless you!
I agree!!
@@gardensofthegodsI actually googled Hugo Kellen, and nothing comes up for me. I found out his name from another TH-cam person who is an explorer also.
@@gardensofthegodsI googled his name and nothing comes up
Cant they go through archive pasenger list of flights at the time of his dissapearance feel he may have returned to Asia to find inner peace _^ no family members left to inherit house amd contents? If not a museum should be created in his memory
Someone should empty that house and categorize and preserve those pieces in a museum.
Absolutely!
I agree, this should be preserved. I’m curious to learn more about him, because he seems so mysterious. It’s fascinating to see all of the contents in this house. The property should be protected.
Queen believe it or not he probably doesn't even care about the things in that house anymore . But he does have a Blog and nobody will tell us the name of the blog .
Since I'm a Tibetan Buddhist I would have loved to have asked him questions about his travels to the Buddhist countries especially in the earlier years when he was there ... no doubt .
I also wanted to ask him about his Buddhist teachers but I will never get the opportunity because people who do know the name of his blog or his name will not share it with us .
I think this a bit odd since his blog probably means much more to him than his material possessions and he obviously wanted to share his mind with the world and yet some of us are being blocked from communicating with him and reading what he has written and I think that is such a shame .
I'm sure it's some point I will find his blog and then let know that some people feel he needs to be
' protected ' and wouldn't share the name of his blog .
... I know what he will say as a Buddhist
.. he will probably say there is nothing to protect ... and they usually say that with a laugh 😂.
Some of his pieces are in a few museums.
And it is all going to mold and rot? Was the designer so selfish not to will it to someone or a charity? Why doesn't an Art Organization look into purchasing the property from the State so that they could save some of this?
Someone, please, save that stuff, it’s incredible! It does need a local historian, or art historian, to go through and catalog and preserve what they can. Great video.
Only if the owner makes that choice
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.. DAM SHAME IF IT IS ALL LOST TO TIME.
@@MaryLouCoursen I love how so many have grand plans for HIS possessions! LOL
The man is still alive living overseas. He has a son from a long ago short marriage, whom I would think will take over once the man passes away. He is 92 at this time.
@@glennd9527My mom lived until 2 months after her 103rd birthday. People from her generation and a few years younger are living a long, long time.
Fact: The person who sadly passed away was his brother. It was his life and adventures partner while travelling the world, not his husband as some people guessed.
@@debby8428 A lot of wrong info in the comments and I'm confused. What is the actual name of the guy?
You are spot on with birthday of man who owns home id respectfully say I'd delete date due to it's really easy finding name as well as location just to keep people from over stepping watching a video to robbing a house of millions in art
Guilty! That's what I thought.
@@debby8428
Wonder if the son is still alive. He apparently is 92.
@@debby8428 PM
That car is worth $152,000 fully restored. It has a 2.2 straight 6 engine with fuel injection.
That's an awesome exploration find you found. I pray that no vandals find it!
Looks like a 220se yes? Rouch ones like tha are worth a bit less, but damn.
@@user-jv2xg6yo8zso sad.
@@user-jv2xg6yo8zsuch a facinatating soul
I heard 151,500.
So what its not yours mind your own business
The fact that the carpet was made in the home AMAZES ME.🔥
This stuff is worth thousands if not millions , what a waste sitting there rotting. They should be shared with the world. ❤❤
Oh, it will be shared now that this video has come out. It will be trashed and plummeted by treasure hunters and careless thieves. 😢
Mostly moldy worthless junk
Just the wine collection alone could be hundreds of thousands.
@@Beezer.D.B. Optimistic thoughts lead to optimistic outcomes. Keep the faith. His art is too beautiful to be squandered.
Kind of like a mandala, the monks spend lots of time building a beautiful piece of art from different colors of sand then destroy it to show they're not attached to physical things.
This makes me sad to think he spent his life creating a beautiful house that no one cared about. All that work and love poured into this home for it to just sit wasted.... just so sad 😢
How is it sad the guy was an artist he made all these masterpieces he didnt need to show off people not everybody are looking for fame like yall
@@some1.111 I wasn't suggesting fame I was suggesting respect for his work 💚
I'm getting a Very Chaotic Vibe watching this. Like maybe the man was Bi polar. His art harbors High Anxiety. Just my empathic impressions
Agree!
Oh my gosh,yes!
@user-jv2xg6yo8z Have no clue who this man is/was so no I don't know what tragedy he's had in his life
@@SharonJones-ql8oy what was his name the artist
OK Chresscan
First of all, I would never want to get into an artist head. This mansion is insane.
Believe it or not some people here claim to know who he is and one said she found his blog but she won't give anybody the name of his blog and some of us would love to know what he has to say and what he thinks and what he talks about .
And demonic
@@gardensofthegodsthere are plenty of clues to search with. Idk why y’all are so wound up. Google until you find it. Jeez!
@@sharonatlyou’re trippin! Hopefully the demons don’t come through the tv and get u! 😂
Now that's a contradiction. Saying the house is insane, requires you to make assumptions about the artist and his mental stability. I would call that "getting into an artist's head", and making an unprofessional, unsolicited judgemental pseudodiagnosis.
Swamp hotdogs? I have always referred to them as cattails.
Same
And yea, most parts of a cattail plant, are edible.
You've been calling it the wrong name 😭😭😭😭
This instantly gave me Grey Gardens energy.
Yes I thought same.
@@marthamacmullen8042 Right away it did for some reason.
Me too. Little and Big Edie wasn’t it… less the raccoons
28:50 I think it’s called a butlers pantry. It being built in 1901 means there were people that worked within the home to keep it running!! Cooking, cleaning, everything
I was gonna answer this but idk how to tag the time. Yep. A butlers pantry indeed.
Definitely. It’s a butlers pantry. It’s where plates and platters are garnished
This place was unreal beyond words the artwork he made.should be saved. Thank you for sharing
Once black mold is present, everything is unfortunately trash. That’s probably why he left everything.
You can kill black mold
He has a lot of work museum's and collection's around the world. Mainly fabric work.
Who is the designer?
This is his intentional & final work of art .A tribute to his Lover, Love & Life. It should be up to him as to what's to become of it ,be it to crumble & fall. It feels like a lot of medicine sessions happened here!!!Tibetan flag. His Sacred Alter!!!! His Shrine Room I Ching Divination coins. He enjoyed meditation & Buddhism Quite a free Spirit I wish him well & Namaste!!! He has given up his attachments to this Life
I’m excited and hopeful that he is in fact still around, and he keeps his word on his showings in Singapore and Paris. He didn’t fit the norm, or society’s norm that is, and did everything his own way, unapologetically. A true artist.
The person called his "friend" in this video was actually his life partner, correct?
@@LP-jn4tw yes, that is correct.
@@ohioarrowheads7977 Thanks. I figured. Good for the artist and his partner. Was hoping it wasn't the usual bible-waver homophobia at work here concealing things, but...
Can someone go and do him the favor of putting all these into museum before it gets stolen
Someone should live here and fix it up
Where is this at
Is there anyway we could talk with this designer
If it's not far I would go
And see if living there I can bring life back into this place
Hello how could we get in contact with the famous designer
Young man do you know how to get in contact with him
Someone needs to catalog and preserve all these precious and interesting artifacts. It would be terrible to let mold and time destroy everything.
Fascinating explore.
I second that recommendation
After he passes away I imagine the house, artwork, rugs will go into his estate. I wonder if his "next of kin" knows what's going on.
It's a shame that all that beautiful artwork will not be seen by others. He is an amazing person and artist. Beautiful! beautiful! Artwork, history, and culture. He traveled the world and created his own artwork inspired by his travels, very opened minded person. Dolores
I thought I heard the guy say the owner had no next of kin. Regardless of one opinion or the other, this house and it's contents should NOT be left to rot. I make guitars. I would love some of that old aged wood to make some instruments. I wonder how the owner would feel about that?
He was a artist. Made beautiful paintings. So very sad some of his artwork is in that house decaying. It should be in a gallery. ❤ Love your channel.
It's not great art. Very amateur, actually.
@@Annie497 - I agree. Maybe first year at art school…
I know the house well visited him many times ...played the Tracker organ on the third floor that he cut open the attic floor to install ...very cool artist
No way! That's amazing- is the story as people are telling it true? What can you tell us? We heard he used to throw crazy parties. How so was he able to keep his business running in wherever this is in a small place or did he leave everything and go there to create? I'm just very curious? Please tell us that he did not keep his partners body in the house- it's absurd, right?
would you mind telling me where? I would like to explore it. You can email me if you don't want others to know.
So what is his name?
Being an artist myself I was enchanted with this show. I do wish that someone nice would get the house and all within and save and restore that man's home and art work.
You are such a nice person, so respectful of the property you explore. I love that you have a scripture verse in the beginning of videos. Blessings to you ❤
This should be turned into a museum for others to enjoy his incredible work.
The Museum of Bad Taste is already at capacity.
I agree
Do you know how much money and labor it would take to turn this rotting mess into a "museum"?? And who will pay to see some old odd dude's "incredible" work? He is no Rembrandt or Van Gogh. Seriously.
It’s too dangerous for the general public. It needs to be condemned. All the items need to be carefully recovered and catalogued. There’s lots of antiquity in that place worth millions.
@@sharksport01 That's your opinion. I disagree.
That is a true coffin, body shaped. A casket is the rectangular shape.
What an amazing home. Artists sometimes have many different thoughts going on so what looks like chaos is actually genius.
I agree 100%.
He was a famous clothes designer in the 60s. Dior and Givenchy frequently used his designs and they were featured in Vogue. His partner was the cushion between this man's eccentricity and the real world. When his partner died, he lost it and pretty much gave up. It was too painful to live in the house so he left everything and moved. ! You can see his art at the Art Institute of Chicago!
Never ceases to amaze me how quickly homes/buildings deteriorate in just a few years....
This was falling apart far before 2019 as the artist has been unable to keep up his home for a while now. It was stated that snow was coming into the bedroom upstairs way back in 2013
When I hear things like "the owner disappeared without a trace" I immediately think they are still in the house somewhere, in the walls or under the bed 🤷☠️
Oooo there's a thought!
Lol! I bet you like homicides or watch Amy Alan!
That's crazy! I'm thinking about the same things
I'm so speechless about this place and the artist who owned it because he was an amazing individual.❤
BED IS ACTUALLY MADE UP AMAZING ❤
I would love for someone like the Trevor Project come and preserve this as an American castle and make it a museum.
This has got to be one of the best places I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks so much for giving us this tour ❤️
I don't know what connections you have but these items need to be in a museum to be protected. Someone will eventually figure out where this is and steal everything.
Please report it to someone who has the power to do something with it and share this mans story and talents wuth the world. ❤
If black mold is present, unfortunately it’s all trash. So sad. So many awesome and unique treasures.
What flows my mind is that if this has been abandoned for over a decade why has it not been ransacked and looted before this. Are you guys the very first people to ever discover this? Is it so well hidden and you guys are just such expert explorers that you're the first to find it? Not criticizing you but I'm just in awe and amazement! Keep up the excellent work!
@@user-jv2xg6yo8z the family didn’t care or it still wouldn’t be sitting there deteriorating.
@@user-jv2xg6yo8z Oh, good!
@@Cheetoluvnot necessarily true. Since Banks said his companion and partner instead of wife, he may not have any heirs, nor did his partner.
I agree, his stuff should go into a museum (before the house decay anymore). This is what it feels like to me a museum. Nice find!
I’m an old Gramma. I want to live there as it is! I would conjure up all kinds of scenarios and imagine to have lived them! What fun!!
I want to be there with you. I would tackle the little greenhouse first lol
I'd be there in a heartbeat
@@PicoAndSepulveda me too !
Too old to clean up that massive place!! Would love some of the carpets, art, bric a brac & books. What a collection!!
Wow! Having a organ in your home! I think the house was just too full. Easier to pull up roots & move. Hopefully he willed it to someone who will appreciate it or make sure it's preserved for prosperity.
Wow. This reminds me of my grandparents home. They did a world cruise when my dad was 14 in 1928-29. Gone for 6 months. That was their longest trip. They sent back all kinds of beautiful things, including rugs.
58:37 that’s a SITAR!!! I love this meditation room. Such a cool house !!!!!
Many hindu 🕉 pcs in that house as well as numerous alters in the meditation room. Luv that room❤
Again! lol. Great work! 😂❤
@@nancytibbetts1953 NOT HINDUISM OR STUPID HINDU GODS BUT BUDDHISM
The other stringed instrument looks Japanese.
He was a very unique character no doubt!
I truly hope that these priceless works of art are rescued by legitimate procurers. Many are museum worthy. Just stunning! Thank you.
He definitely should comeback and donate these incredible finds to a museum. They are too beautiful to just let rot. Sir if you are reading these comments please don’t let these beautiful artifacts go to waste. They are beautiful.
"It's so much stuff it's overwhelming."
"What kind of instrument is this?"
You crack me up.🤣🤣🤣
It was so cute when he was like, look at all that yarn!
Crazy BEAUTIFUL !! Pining over the art. Someone should definitely contact a gallery to get that out of there. Don't want them to mold up like his wool yarn and loom. Absolutely Stunning. Thank-You.
What makes old, moldy wool or an old loom valuable? What makes this art museum worthy? Think about the type of art acquired in museums. There are MANY talented artists in the world, but very few ever make it into a museum. I appreciate the uniqueness of the items in this house, but I am beginning to think very few understand what museums are all about.
@@Annie497He or she said a gallery and not a museum. There is a very big difference between the two. Perhaps you should fully read a comment before you make your remark. Additionally, the writer doesn't intend the moldy wool and loom for the gallery. The comment is a desire to conserve the art so it doesn't become moldy like these previously mentioned objects. Like the art of listening, it really helps if you take the time to fully read and comprehend what this writer is expressing before you prematurely shoot your load!
@@briankocheraabcdt4628 No gallery would want it, either. FFS.
Where is his family or relatives to come and claim the important items from the home? He must have relatives somewhere.
Beautiful one-of-a-kind artwork!!
Someone please save all the items worth value!
It’s amazing what people leave behind.
I love watching these great videos! Keep them coming. 👍🏼
It’s a very dark place.
Kirtan pichwai and the lotus in the Indian art work is significant to the art work itself. This man was very into spirituality in all forms and a lot of thing’s you’ve shown all seem to represent positivity and light
I didn't like some of his paintings though with a lot of dark colors and black in them but a lot of the other things and all the Tibetan Buddhist and all the other Buddhist things and also a little bit of Hindu I think yes those were all beautiful and the rugs and the way he had it decorated even though he didn't always have the best tables he did have a way of decorating to make it very interesting .
Yes he had many wonderful things including the pipe organ and the cello and the sitars
Great video. Artistic people are not like your average person. They are in their own world. Always learning. Always creating. Their eyes see things most people overlook. The instrument in the prayer room with the long neck with the giant bowl on the end is a sitar. I believe George Harrison learned to play one.
With Ravi Shankar
I love the sound of the sitar
I’m new to your channel and I Love the Bible verse at the beginning .
I needed this verse today to settle my soul , thank you for putting Gods word out there and God bless and keep you🕊️
This is the most amazing mansion I have ever seen. How cool that you found this. But the man who owns this is very, very eccentric as you said. I can’t imagine the thought process behind these art pieces. He is definitely a different kind of person for sure. Looks like he has experienced life to the fullest extent possible. A great find. Thanks for sharing.
I theorize that the reason there are so many chandeliers in this mansion is because electricity wasn't really commonplace in homes until the 1920s. Essentially, it was added later and it would have been WAY too much work to run lines in the walls.
Most people who say “omg these should be saved” doesn’t realize the reason they were never tore down. Not just mansions but any house before 1978. They are full of lead and asbestos. Takes millions and hazmat crews safely take these down and not worth saving and making cities and towns sick. The sad part is by time they were abandoned, they were fully beyond repair at that point.
No. This bldg had electricity from the beginning.
I’m two minutes in and I feel something in my heart.. it’s a privilege to get to see into this house and you make that possible 😌❤️
It reached out to me too
This mansion was completely amazing. It's so sad to see that the man just walked out and left so many worldly treasures he had collected throughout his lifetime. He is/was definitely an astounding artist!
He maybe doesn't want to be reminded of that time. He obviously has enough money to live off. He may have bequeathed it to someone but until it is confirmed that he died, it would be theft to remove something. Real pity though! I would hope a museum applies for conservatorship so that the collectables are preserved.
Well what can i say. Im absolutely blown away by this one. In fact im speechless 😱and trust me that is very rare! As has been previously said i agree that this should somehow be preserved. I also agree about Big Bankz voice, compassion , respect for whats dicovered. I love these videos and this one has been epic. Thank you 🙏. Please keep them coming. You are impacting lots of lives in different ways which makes you too an artist. My mental health splkes immensely when i see and hear you and your videos. Thats a major thing. May God Bless you and keep you safe.. from Helen in the UK 🙏👍🥰
'Designer's' Abandoned Mansion, Yes, Yes, Mansion is elegant. Only complaint, you guys do not wear masks? Basement with that mold, looked dangerous...
I think this mansion is absolutely gorgeous!! Love the artwork, chandeliers,all the makeshift furniture. The woodwork just literally GORGEOUS ♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Ok to everyone desperately trying to find his name to learn more about him i hear you just understand this place needs to be protected, so ill do my best to tell you a bit about the total legend of a man to soothe your curiosity. There isn't too much more about him then what I'm going to tell you and these are much of the hipoints.and again please understand this isn't to be like haha i know what you don't we just really want his home to remain as protected as possible.He was a big designer in the 60s. He loved traveling and sailing and especially loves asian cultures. He buried his partner in his garden. The funeral was held right there in the house. He took a photo of the partners face in the casket and has it on the wall. They dug a grave that wasnt very deep but it has a concrete vault. And the lid to that vault is id say no deeper then a foot under the dirt. The Total Loyalty to his partner is very evident. This home is in the north east but im not gonna get more specific then that but the state makes alot of sense imo to the type of person he was. Fun fact the home wasnt heated and afaik there wasnt even electricity atleast for a while although it appears that either theyused a generator or changed this as evidenced by the tv and fridge and theres also steroe equipment in the third floor loft next to the giant pipe organ which also may or may not need electricity(maybe thats why he got it?). And no running water too afaik. I believe he collected rainwater to use in the home although i am not sure if that was continued but atleast for some point thats how it was. The colorful 60s dresses that look like splotches of colors that you famously see in old magazines that's his work! Those were his dresses 😊 the neighbors from nearby to this house for the longest time didnt even know who lived there as he kept very private and moved there for a reason. Currently he lives in asia with a i guess you might call a tribe of people that have been around for a long long time. He is both the oldest resident of this village and the only westerner ever allowed to live there. Currently his internet access was cut out so he only posts and returns emails once or twice monthly max. The last public post by him was april 2024 the last email i received was between may 1st and may4th i can't exactly remember if I read it may 4th and its from the 1st or it was from the 4th. But as of then he was still alive unless theres someone posing as him (doubtful) the way he talks to you is almost as if he is narrarating at you. Its like hes talking at you rather than to you its a bit hard to explain. The way he articulates himself is very elegant and intelligent but, it is sometimes hard to understand exactly what he is saying as he tends to put a lot of added stuff like i dnt know how to really explain this but sorta like tangents speaking on souls and spiritual things. Like in a normal conversation he will.begin talking about very deep things. Theres no shallow conversations with this Timeless Legend. A True Lark 😊 Hopefully this helps you guys and people don't feel the need to keep searching for him. And truly listen please if you do discover his name i beg you to please not post it. You never know someone who lives somewhat close might see this as a golden opportunity to go absolutely ransack that home and steal all the things before we have a chance to put them in a museum. Last i heard someone has already stolen the head off the dragon :(
You resumed everything I would like to post about him on this comment section. Thanks for protecting his identity. I've reached out by email and I can't wait for his answer.
@skaazy just an fyi if you reach out asking about his well being etc you might not get a response he seems to not like that. If you read his blogs and ask about the things he writes about. Or ask about the peoples that he lives with (i dont wanna say who they are but im sure you can find out if you dont know) you're more likely to get a response if you talk about what he wants to talk about. Also i try to send very short messages i don't want to overwelm him and make him change it.
@@krosherz thanks for your tips!
@krosherz Thanks for posting the plethora of information about this EXTREMELY talented "mystery man". I was trying everything that i could think of to get his name, but I 110% agree with you that it should NOT be posted for obvious reasons. But again I sincerely appreciate the research and sharing it with us!
A great pity that this house has been left to the nature and abandond. Old houses have emotional, and sentimental value.❤
And regrettably the neighbors want it torn down as soon as possible
@@gardensofthegods Perhaps a goed idea to renovate this huis voor the homeless. Homeless could help in making it a better place to live. 💪
The coffin and zebra rug caught my eye first. The painting beside the coffin looks like a person raising the left hand in the middle of a fire. The car is a beauty. I love old cars.
Thank you, Sir for this video! Your work is greatly appreciated. Bless you heart.❤️🙏🏽
This guy had mental issues and it shows.
@@user-jv2xg6yo8z I'm starting to think you are a troll from another channel. His family would never get on here and behave this way. Just stop before you are reported.

That book of pictures is exactly what a man needs to help get that house back on the right track
Hey Big Bankz, I’m not understanding, if he has only been gone since 2019 why does the house look as though it’s falling apart?? That’s only 5 years unless it was falling apart before he left.
It’s quite amazing, I’m an artist & I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this man’s unique artistic talent!! He was one of a kind!! Thank you for sharing this video. Everything in this house is outstanding! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Peace out ✌🏼
For a house built in 1901, leaving in 2019 would mean it's 118 years old.
If he lived in it for 50 years it was already 68 years old when he moved in.
It was definitely already falling apart... And he may have been artistic but he probably was not very handy...
@@Annii_Oakley_ yup very old housr
Good for you that you have been too 95 percent of these houses now run for office in the other 5 percent of your time
how is it these mansions just sit for years untouched? is there a Town concerned about taxes being paid?
it’s sad the paintings, etc. are sitting there molding.
I have never seen anything like this before. Thank you so much !
Some of his worship place was Buddhist, but there was also Hindu. He had a Vishnu diety and a Krishna diety. The musical instruments : 1 was a Sitar, the drums were Tablas.
I loved the watercolor paintings in the dining room that were put together to make one large piece. Also the black & white with the vases in front.
I believe The long item you wanted to know what it is. I think it's called a Chinese, Marching Parade Dragon. Usually, multiple people are underneath it due to its length.
The dragon used to be in the foyer when you first walked in
This urban explorer probably doesn’t read the comments but, I love that he put a Bible scripture @ the beginning of the video! He had on a cross necklace so I’m assuming he’s a Christian. The house & the way the video was put together with the music was incredible! I’m kind of surprised that he doesn’t wear a mask 😷 around all that black mold though. I subscribed, very impressed young man!
I would hope that a museum somewhere in this world would take all that stuff and preserve it because it is so beautiful and so sad that there’s no family nobody who’s taking care of it😢
As an artist seeing abandoned art work hurts my soul! It doesn't look vandalized and that is shocking. Hopefully no one else finds it to destroy. What a sad amazing property.
🤩 wow, one of the best abandoned homes. I’ve never seen such an artistic expression. I think all those things were brought home from his travels to give to his lover who painted.
Very feasible.
Cheers to the Queen who lived in this house, there’s plenty of proof he was fabulous. I wish we could have seen all those stacked canvases in the attic! He had a wonderful choice in colors. You don’t have to blur art sir, we can handle it.
😂😉
I agree but I believe TH-cam requires the “blurring”
So much value in this incredible house! I am sure many historians could help him preserve some of his art. Great video!
28:36 is called a “Butler’s Pantry.” It’s the space between the kitchen and dining room.
Thank you for putting verses on your channel!!!
I like the scriptures as well! The main reason I follow Big Bankz ❤
Loved the room with the improvised table & different individual chairs for each individual personalities. So eclectic!♡
A wise person here said the items should be preserved in a museum. The house itself should be transformed into a museum. Saved and restored and could be a beautiful educational tool for a time gkne by. It is so sad to see it rotting away. Thank you for sharing it with us.
The room between the kitchen and the dining room is called a china closet. 😊
44:35 it appears the ceiling was removed in this sitting room and the one in his bedroom to hoist up the organ pipes to the studio and obviously left open to bounce around the sounds when played. It gives them pretty awesome vibes visually as well. Win win!
Captain appears to be a man of many talents. I can't begin to imagine the stories and knowledge he gained and shared out in the world. Thanks for sharing this one!! I rank this one my favorite of yours! 💛
Holy cow! This place is awesome! ❤️👍💪
This is one of the most interesting things that I ever saw on TH-cam.bTY guys for bringing us this. It must've been awesome to walk through this home. It's more of an abandoned museum. ❤❤❤
I love this home and wish for this property and all items within the home to be cleaned up, restored and preserved. This is my favorite home so far that you've shared. Again, I dont think words can even describe everything I love about it; from the art to the cultural pieces to the old books to the overall architecture.... just an amazing piece of property.
I think the flat space upstairs that was identified as a bar is more of a showcase area for knickknacks and creative things as opposed to bar. What he had there is exactly what he probably used it for.
If only his family could preserve and catalogue all of his works.
He likely doesn't have family. A comment above said he is in his 90s. It sounds like he was gay and likely doesn't have children.
I look forward to it,,hope you and your loved ones are well BigBankz😊
I bet that place was a nightmare to dust! Also, crazy he had his own loom in the house.
Watching this has caused me to become very emotional and cry. Why would this effect me so? He was a very handsome man I might add. I'm surprised squatters are not living there!
It's out in the middle of nowhere. There's no resources. Squatters tend to occupy vacant or abandoned buildings in an urban environment where there's access to resources, work, food, and in some cases drugs and alcohol.
This is a fascinating find. I’ve noticed on someone else’s video walkthrough of this mansion, there’s some masks and artifacts missing. Very sad and tragic. Other explorers are apparently taking things. I really like the way you documented this. You did not rush through this. Many changes since you documented this. Too bad they couldn’t save the contents of this house. I’ve looked into the background of this eccentric artist, and found him fascinating. Good job
WHO IS HE??
Un univers maximaliste, intriqué et fascinant. On l’explore comme un bigarré voyage à travers les pays , les époques , les dimensions artistiques et spirituelles. Merci à cet homme d’avoir créé ce lieu unique.
OMG...It's as if time stood still! Creepy, sad, and wonderful all at once! All those items not being enjoyed. TRAGIC!
That cello is beautiful. It appears to be one that had never been completed. I'm not seeing any signs of it ever having a bridge or strings.
The little room off the kitchen with all the dishes is called a butler’s pantry. We had one in our house when I was young.
This place was amazing,,, Very interesting guy could you imagine having a conversation with him and the stories he had. Love your content BB you're the best buddy keep it up. Def this house was crazy with artifacts.
Tim I'd love to have a conversation with him or at least be able to read his blog and believe it or not someone in the threads says they know his name and have read his blog .
Yet when I asked them for the name of his blog they don't respond even though they have responded to other people's comments about other things and so regrettably it seems as if they are playing gatekeeper not realizing that obviously this man started a Blog so that he could share his thoughts and ideas his feelings of what is in his heart and mind with the world and yet they are preventing that .
I find it sad and frustrating .
Supposedly he is now 92 years old and at least 4 years ago was in Burma .
I would love to know the name of his blog and read what he has written and what he wanted to share with all of us
@@gardensofthegods it's probably best to not release his name for the sake of the property being vandalized or robbed. But I just see the commenter say she read his blog. And for a person of the home owners character would not surprise me of him being alive. 94 isn't out of reach for some to meet that ripe old age. He was definitely a unique individual with a lot of talents, rug making, artist, into different religions that was not his but learned and studied them. Keep following the comments but I doubt a release of his name maybe the original home owners name but I doubt his.
,hes like a hoarder but in a good way...so artistically kind of person...as an asian myself i can tell he is really have huge interest of asian culture and religion and beliefs and everything...i love this mansion tour the history is rich and so mesmerizing
I would love to have some of his art hanging on my walls. He was a tortured soul as you can see in his paintings. They are so expressive and beautiful. Wherever he is, I hope he finds the peace he is searching for. 🙏🏻
Wondering how did he get that Pipe Organ up into that Attic Room🤔
Me too and those massive canvasses up/ dowm spiral staircase🤪
Probably built in the loft.
Showing love from HoustonTX. You’re my favorite TH-camr, too!!
Amazing house and eccentric artist. A museum needs to open up just for his art and belongings
The house and its contents should be preserved as an art museum for people to visit and enjoy.
Fantastic, so addicted to your videos, each video is gorgeous to watch. Bless you all.
My grandmother had a Mercedes sedan like that, only hers had the emblems on the front grill from when they were shipped over to US from Germany. Hers also a areal wooden dashboard… it was so cool, but she too, in age if let it go , uncovered, unprotected from the elements.. So sad😢 I believe she sold it to a man that kind of swindled her for like $500… Such a shame
The Mercedes looks like something from the 50's. Fascinating tour and video. Thank you.
Hard to believe that he would leave this place when it has everything he loved❤
