That 2nd house is far far gone, I'm surprised you went in as far as did. I wonder what it was because it had a public type mens room with multiple wash basins and a trough type urinal off to the left at 14:48. Thanks for the tours! 🤠👍
According to my wife, who is a lifelong resident of Hancock, those are the old orchard houses. The big white house was where the migrant workers lived. She knew the people who lived in the first house, and had visited there when it was still a residence. She said the last house her uncle lived in for a short while. Apparently, when the orchards left the houses became abandoned. There are more abandoned orchard houses out old 40.
That highway has been through that area for a long time. It's close, but not so close that they would have bought the whole neighborhood. I've seen corners cut off barns to maintain the necessary set-back, but they don't condemn the entire property. The lead paint issue doesn't usually call for condemning the whole property. Looks like all the personal property was abandoned, as well. The mess would usually come from subsequent looting. Looks like the state or fed bought it all for some unknown reason? They might have planned a rest stop there, but it never got built.
4th home looks like bears gettin into them. Bears can get thru most places humans cannot. The vines on outside looks neat gives it the flare or personality some people like , thats me looks awesome hangin on the house.

Just judging how close that interstate highway is, the homeowners were probably bought out when it was built.
I grew up in Hancock and knew a few of the residents of those houses
Desi! How have you been!? Lol one of the residents right here 🙋♂️
Well I love 2 minutes from that exact location the bus I rode in elementary school other students lived in that house.

WOW! SOMEONE MADE TARGET PRACTICE AT THAT HOUSE! PROBABLY FROM THE HIGHWAY 🛣 A HIGHWAY DRIVEBY! I'D MOVE OUT OF THERE TOO!
Would be interesting to see what some of those books were? Or publishing dates?
The people that lived there were forced to move because all those houses are full of lead paint.
Cool explore. Not so cool houses. Good job!
I live in hancock and its pretty cool to check those places out
Where? I don't see you anywhere 😂just joking 🫂
Last is probably 1700s-1800s considering it being stone, that and the first house might be worth restoring
that is true but I highly doubt that anyone would want to live next to a very noisy interstate 😂
This was my old house as a kid.
@@cavemanzebra which one?
@@thIDthIRreenactor the last one.
If restored the stone one could be a business or something
You know basements are one of the safer places in some abandoned houses, as long as you can get in and out safely.
I c the living room collapsed into the basement the house doesnt have
My aunts inlaws lived back there
Nice!
Galvanized steel roofing is why the other house was in good condition!
1st house was last lived in in the late 2000s
i know where thats at, used to be an apple orchard. i think all the houses were owned by one person
Which one is near the hotel thing?? I think it was 8 something
Super 8 in hancock maryland, it’s also right beside the North End Liquors store.

@@zcriix ooh ok thanks because I live just a bit away from those houses, I think it's cool to look at the house a see how they may have been
Creepee @ 28:23, I hear "Get..Out".
is this place still around?
yeah i believe it’s still there. probably looks worse than it was when recorded
Those are all old orchard houses and were condemned because of lead base paint.
2nd house is probably an old migrant house for the apple orchard workers
You are likely at great risk for asbestos poisoning.
China owns most of Hancock Maryland.They bought it up in the 70s.
A lot of German land now too
