It is such a shame a beautiful home like this wasn’t kept up. Definitely a family with some money owned this years ago. Great find Kappy!

This neglected beauty deserved so much better! Such a spacious, wonderfully detailed home. I feel so sorry for her. Thank you, Kappy. These old houses have a friend in you!

Such a grand home! A large family must have lived here initially. The woodwork is beautiful! Thanks Kappy! The homes you bring us are so amazing!! I wish we could see what these homes looked like back in the day compared to today. Can’t wait for the next beautiful find! Stay safe Kappy!

What a magnificent home! I hope it knew a lot of love and laughter. Compare it to the $500K to $700K shacks that are all garage seen today-ugh! Around here, they bulldoze out woods and habitat to build those characterless things. Sigh...Thanks. Kappy, hi Ruby! Wonderful, as always.

It's such a shame such a big beautiful house is sitting abandoned and rotting down wish someone would save it and restore it.

Thanks Kappy, I really like this house, I think it cost a lot to build, not many houses have a basement under the porch! That's a lot of work for sure! Some really nice woodwork as well, I hope this house gets saved.

Love how the sunlight peaks into the house in different areas and brings back some sense of warmth that used to be.

Your camera work is great...I get motion sick watching some of the other explorers! I also like that you appreciate the workmanship of these old houses.

Aw, this one left me feeling quite nostalgic. I grew up in a very similar 2 3/4 story Victorian farmhouse. It was smaller than this one, but the woodwork and architectural details were very similar. You made me feel like a kid again! 😊

Love, hate, romance, childbirth, family drama, all the emotions of the ones who lived and loved in this house. You are making sure it is not forgotten.

I love old houses, the craftsmanship is beautiful. To bad they cant be restored. History for sure. I would love to know if walls could talk what they would say! 👍😘

Craftmanship of these old homes should be preserved instead of torn down for cheap houses that aren't ever going to be worth 1/8th of what these old homes are made of. Years ago, craftsmanship in America was class and built to withstand the tests of time. Today, not so much. Thanks again Kap for a great video of a once grand old family home.

This amazing big old house would have been pretty spectacular in it's time, loved all the panelling and pillars. So pleased you didn't fall 8 foot into the basement, we need you to keep safe being the very best explorer on the Tube,❤

Kappy, that was a truly an extraordinary home, and the quality of the woodworking was so superb that it lent that air of warmth to the home that you felt and sensed. As someone who has designed and built furniture and tables for homes made out of Teak and Oak I know exactly how you felt, because I felt it just by watching. Man Kappy, that house was one of my all time favorites of all the homes you have wisely chosen to share with us, but also distressing. Seriously, you have exquisite taste in homes, know them inside and out, and all the various styles that are lost on me. Kappy you are so gifted in what you create it is an honor and a pleasure to tune in every week. Thank you so much Kappy, and have a Great Week!

This home has seriously withstood the test of time. Still standing although all the windows are broken, the roof and floors are caving in the house still stands. I love the wall paper in the hall with the butterflies and flowers on it. That Leonard fridge in the basement is from the 40's - 50's Have a great day

Oh wow! If walls could talk there would be plenty of wonderful stories to tell. The woodwork and wall paper still tell theirs while others not so much. It boggles my mind how something can be on the national register of historic places and left to die. Someone somewhere must know of a computer program where these homes could be brought back to life! That would be so cool! Thanks for this amazing place! ❤️

What beautiful, beautiful woodwork - I think that's why the house feels so warm, welcoming. It's not hard to imagine what this place looked like in it's grand old days!! Thank you Kappy.

Thanks Kappy. What an elaborate house. The little room with the pass through window was probably a butlers pantry. Even the back stairway was ornate.

I don't understand why people leave such a beautiful place,it should have been kept up ,the columns,that beautiful porch ,balcony,windows I love the whole thing.I can imagine how beautiful it was.Sad now unless someone else has the means and sees what could be again.👍❤️

I could cry! 😢 So much beautiful craftsmanship wasting away. Be safe and thanks for sharing

That house is one of my favorites. When you were on the porch I held my breath; I was terrified you'd fall thru. Great find Kappy.

We have to keep in mind that the past is the past. Back when people had 7 to 12 children, they needed a large home if they had the means to build it. Our homes we build today are for our needs and/or luxury if we have money. But they are no more than that. I don't think any home is build to burden posterity with. Needs/taste/personalities/society changes with each generation and it is a burden on a family to hang on to something that has outlived its purpose. Even the castles of the old country were not built to last forever. They lasted because they were necessary fortification from invading armies or rival clans. Beautiful explore. I always enjoy your "last minute" look at houses on their last legs. You briefly breathe life through the walls and spaces.

That was a well loved, beautiful home with lots of love and good memories. I'm sure the people would be mortified if they could see the deteriorated shape it is in now. But it was there for them and gave them shelter when they needed it.

I love these big old homes shame they are not practical anymore

Incredible house. The brickwork looks as new as when the house was built.

Kappy, you mentioned the house has a warm and inviting feel to it and I too felt that earlier, while you were downstairs and I even invisioned children living there in their loving home...

What a grand house this used to be. I would love to see photos from its earlier days.

Did you ever notice the highway noise, in comparison of the horse & bugy age to the grand entrance to the estate. And a tip of the hat, fro Cappy learning architecture terms.

I've said it before... just imagine it back in its hay day. Beautiful

Thx 4 sharing. Luvd this place. It was beautiful in its day. So many rooms. Never understood why family members dont step up & take care of places. Maybe no one is left. Great explore Much luv Carry on

What a place! This one was for someone influential. Pictures of it back in the day would have been great to see. So much happiness left behind for mother nature to take back. Thanks for letting me tag along!

What a beautiful old house 🏚. They don't make houses like this anymore. It's a shame that someone doesn't restore it. I love the old wood work and the fireplaces. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓

Man, I hate to see these grand old homes go to waste. Breaks my heart.

This would have been an awesome house to live in. There aren’t many, if any, houses that you say has a warm feeling. That’s cool. I think the open space in the kitchen that looks like a window is to serve food through. The house I grew up in had one. It was also built in the early 1900’s, in Springfield, Illinois.

Huskies are shoes,this is great house ,love houses like this each is different,very brave walking on those floors

I love this house..I cant believe someone would just let it rot.. it still has the old push light switches.....it could be so beautiful again....Thanks for the video

Wow, You, Can Tell This Was And Is A Beautiful Home, Wish some Wealthy person Would Fix it and Save This Beautiful Mansion...

I felt good vibes too. One of my favorites that you’ve shown.

That's quite a place! So sad to see the years of neglect.😢

Kappy..just want to tell you how much I enjoy watching your documentaries...i love how you stick to one type of home and not try to out do all the other explorers..at times I can't believe the lengths you go to some grand but very decayed homes...bringing your viewers the last chance for them to be seen...these older homes show craftsmanship, different styles that are almost forgotten...thank you for all you do!..one of the few explorers I subscribed to...fantasic and "cool" as you often say job well done!

At 1:58 it looks like a witch flew through the screen door 😂

Beautiful old home. Looks like it has Lincrusta on the lower walls in the main hallway. If so this family must have had wealth as Lincrusta wasn’t cheap. It can still be bought today. It’s a shame this house has been so neglected! 😢

I think this is more recent than the date you mentioned, however a beautiful old home, the fireplace and built ins on the first floor look early craftsman, which would make this home very cutting edge back in the day. The panelling around the walls is magnificent and you’re right, it’s in an amazingly good original condition. There’s definitely a craftsman feel to the design, less elaborate decoration, more stream lined modern woodworking. Great find Kappy, really enjoyed this explore.

Beautiful home. Love the untouched dark wood. A very spacious house. I really liked the silo. Picturesque with the vines tangling around it. This house feels like home.

Those stairs that lead up to nothing but the ceiling kinda reminds me of the Sara Winchester house.

THIS is what a house should be! A great house. I see it still had the original push button light switches, probably from the early 1920's when they first ran electricity in the house. Knob and tube wires, that though very old, usually still worked fine. There were so many parts of this that could be rescued and saved and used again. It's such a horrible shame when these houses go down with everything. That upstairs summer porch was great for sleeping on hot summer nights. These old houses of this era had a lot of doors going outside and at least a couple staircases. For everyday use and back then house fires were kinds of common so everyone needed a way out!

I love all your videos! Big fan here, I don't always comment, but I do watch them all!

I bet that someone truly loved that house especially if you had that warm welcome feeling, it's definitely still beautiful in its last years of longevity.

I love the downstairs in this house. I wonder what it looked like years ago?

I was so afraid you were going to fall through the floor. Another amazing house, thanks Kappy

Thanks Kappy for showing us all these houses.

Love going back in time with your video ❤ This house must have been so beautiful back in the days so sad to let it die like that. Thanks for the tour !👍 Stay safe ❤🇨🇦

Oh poor, tired house. That porch, tho would love to have that. Wish I could have seen this place before the rot went wild. I bet it was fantastic when first built. It's still pretty stylish in design. I don't think there is any saving to it. Thanks, Kappy and you be careful out there

You can tell it was a gorgeous home back in the day, so sad its just rotting away.

This is my favorite house to date. I agree with your comment about the feeling of the home being inviting or warm. It is such a shame it’s to the point of no return. So sad.

I totally agree, warm and inviting!!!

This was a glorious home in its early days. I can hear children playing, and imagine Christmas must have been a joy to see. The make over ruined it, those red brick fireplaces were out of place for the time.

Hello there Knappy! GTSY Huskies were a brand of Washington sneakers. I really enjoyed the video, just wish kid's didn't break windows! I like to imagine how this home may have looked 100 years ago.👍😊

I'll bet that house was SO beautiful and stately back in it's "hey day!"

It is unusual to still have unpainted woodwork. Lovely grand old home destined for the wrecking ball. What a shame.

I LOVED this house! Wow!😍🤩🤯😱

I loved hearing the crunching of the dried brown leaves as your walking towards the big house! Thanks for showing close ups of the wall paper. This was a very interesting house. Thanks channel!

It is maddening at the damage done by vandals and vagrants . Hand carved wood and all the beautiful architectural design in these historical homes is stunning. No quick Built Homes of today will ever be in any comparison to the older homes. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe. I would love to see these in a book.

THANK YOU KAPPY!!! I am one of the people always bugging you to use both staircases! It is MUCH appreciated!

I think if I caught someone de-facing a beautiful old home like this I'd have to . . . . . . .better not say it. YT will remove my comment! I bought a house built in the 1880's - we called it a 'mini mansion' As soon as I walked in to it, I got the warm feeling you spoke of. Our minds were made up at the moment, we'd buy it!

Hope someone crazy as me can save houses like this🥰thanks Kappy. Keep safe

This place had such beauty and character. Too bad they let it rot!! Thanks for sharing! Peace, Kim ~

Wow what a pretty home !! This would have been very nice back in its day so sad to see it like this now ....her fate should not be this such a wonderful old home I am sure was once full of love and laughter . Great video as always Kappy !!

😊Awesome showing! Just love all the details you point out. Love the house. Thanks for walking down the back turning staircase 😊 Finally a house without graffiti! Thank you Kappy!!

Kappy, I appreciate your dedication. Thanks for sharing that virtual tour with us!

Cool place. Pretty much down hill from here. Thanks for sharing. ❤

That was a huge house!!!

Love your videos Kappy...never miss one! Thanku youngin!

I always love your videos, you have such a gentle spirit. You stick to what you know. I Don’t have to weed through paranormal stuff, which seems to be the trend lately on other channels. You are respectful and you don’t find you have to swear to make a point.

Good for you for being brave and going to the basement!You've come a long way.Yes this home gifts a happy vibe like it was once bustling with a Large happy family

Breaks my heart to see such beautiful homes turning to dust, and with a destiny to the bulldozer. Huskies I think is association with Husky boots that were popular in Canada - but under Huskies they make all types of shoes (high tops, etc) now and are based in the USA. I could be wrong.

What a big beautiful house. I bet it was gorgeous in his day. Imagine the stories it could tell. ❤

I just think it is awesome of the places you go to. I LOVE THE OLD CHURCH, GENERAL STORE YOU HAVE EXPLORE AND AS A ARTIST IT GIVES ME INSPIRATION TO MY WORK THANK YOU KAPPY😊

Such a shame that people build these beautiful homes and then the heirs can't afford to keep them up. Now there is no saving this one.

Another great home Kappy! And bathrooms all over the place. I came in looking 4 a new vid cuz I'm in bed with a cold 🤧. Ur the first place I go 4 great entertaining vids anyway! Stay safe!

Hello Kappy and all you armchair explorers! This is certainly a beautiful house, at least from the exterior! It must have been a stunner in its day. Now, the ravages of time and the weather have done irreparable damage to this old beauty. I just noticed it, but the sound of traffic in the distance creates a strange sort of singing sound. It's pretty spooky. These folks had a lot of books or maybe bric-a-brac, to have so many built-in shelves. I can imagine how it looked back then. I can't remember what that woodwork is called, the little rectangles all around the room. I've seen it on older houses in Great Britain, though. That front hallway is cavernous! I'll bet the wind really roared through there when that big front door swung open. I guess that's why that enormous fireplace was there. Its imposing Craftsman design dominates that corner of the foyer. There is a very strong Craftsman influence in the details of this lovely old house, with its columns and intricate millwork. As this is my favorite architectural style, I am quite taken with the details of this house. I'd have given my eye teeth to have seen this house as it was first constructed! It's the stuff of my dreams. It must have been very grand indeed! Even the back stairs are beautiful! Most large houses of this era had two sets of stairs, not just for the servants to come and go unnoticed, but in case of fire. These houses, constructed almost entirely of wood, burned very quickly, and two sets of stairs helped the occupants of the house to escape. Another set of stairs in the front hallway! That makes me think that the brick portions of this house are additions. I think that cardboard with the Huskies marking was a shoe box which had been smashed flat. Oh, I really like this bright, airy attic! How wonderful it would be to have your bedroom up here in the treetops! That is a very interesting basement! I generally don't like to go into those dark, wet places, but this one is very intriguing, with its separate rooms and assorted cast off possessions. That odd placement of the post is where the beam was failing and bending. It was, no doubt, braced to keep the floor above from falling in. Thanks so much for the explore of this beautiful home, Kappy. It's a crying shame that it couldn't have been saved while there was still time to do it justice. Now, though it may be too late, perhaps a careful salvage team and a skilled restorer might make good use of more interesting pieces before they are destroyed. I agree with you, Kappy, that this house has a nice feeling to it, as if the people who lived here had a happy life. I'm glad. This house deserves to be happy. Another good trip, Kappy. I greatly enjoy going exploring with you and I hope you keep your wonderful videos coming. I tried to find the first video you refer to from 2018, but cannot find it. I must have missed it, as this house is new to me. I'm glad that I routinely save all your videos, so I can go back and rewatch older ones that seem to be gone from your feed. I guess KZfaq won't let you save everything! Take good care of yourself and watch where you step!

I would have loved to seen this place in it's prime. So grand and opulent.

5:10 With someone's not so grand party room, Keystone Light included! 🍺😋 7:48 I've never seen a glass switchplate showing the wallpaper underneath, cool idea! One of your more facinating houses explored. Thanks for the tour Kappy! 🤠👍

That place would have been magnificent back in the day. Nice find 👍

Hey Kappy! What a huge old house. Loved all the woodwork and built-ins. Some really nice wallpaper patterns too. It would be a dream to restore one of these old places. Thanks for the look around. Stay safe! ✌️

Love how you go very slowly detailing all the old wallpaper and woodwork details Kap, that window in the kitchen was known as a "butlers server", going through to the dining room in most old homes of the wealthy back in the day. That little staircase that was had the doorway sealed off probably went up to the attic. I wonder why they made a ceiling over it?!

Another excellent exploration!

Thanks for the tour! And I love and appreciate your attention to little details‼️

What a big beautiful grand old home. So sad it's left to rot. Thanks for showing.

Can you imagine it all decked out for Christmas? Bet it was quite a sight. Pretty place.

I think it's long past restoring. but i would have loved seeing it, in its heyday.

Wow that place must have been awesome in it's day glad you got to it when you did so sad it was let go

Cool old house, love the woodwork.

Just beautiful… those upstairs closed in porches were called “summer sleepers” in those early times 20-30s Usually used by the man of the house. Men were bigger/thicker/heavier back then. Somewhat closed in for privacy/bugs. As bread winners they received precedence over females for sleeping comfort. Love your videos. Good on your Mom! 👍🏼

hey kappy awesome find u did it again my buddy this would of beeen a beautiful home i loved the antique beddding and the bed as welli liked the basement to coooool and alittle spooky take care man u rock always gratefully deadicated

Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me about 120 year old Abandoned Pendleton Mansion Left Forgotten for Decades in Maryland it is a shame that some one didn't stop this home from being destroyed by vandals this was a beautiful oldhouse back in the day and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks my friend.

Absolutely beautiful! Wish I could fix it up and live there!

Yayyy! A Kappy video😊

What a grand old place!

Basement under a porch is not the best idea as before you know it the rain/snow is seeping in through the boards. And Kappy, you didn’t try out the silo! As kids my cousin and I practiced yodels and songs there. What a time we had then, no stone was left unturned! I enjoy your work very much, even when I get depressed over all the buildings and history falling away.
