I live very very close to this home. The gentleman who owned this was a wonderful caring man. I know alot about this house.

How can anyone let this house go to waste. Amazing architecture. You will never see a house like this in your lifetime. And by the way awesome vid...

The craftsmanship is a treasure. Unbelievable amounts of time, sweat and blood went into that ceiling alone.

My dream home! It is so sad that beautiful homes such as these are left to rot .

That house is fantastic! It's like a fairytale! It should be taken care of. It's a house built of love.

I grew up and currently live down the road from this house it’s been one of my favorite houses for a long long time. The history is interesting behind it

This house needs to be restored to it’s original glory!!!!

About the heads near the ceiling: Henry the VIII started that little tradition. He wanted all who came to visit to know that he had eyes and ears everywhere so he knew what everyone was saying about him. That's how they got the name "eavesdroppers". This was after his demeanor changed and people had to walk on eggshells around him. Just a wee bit of historical trivia 😊

THANK YOU MR. SMITH FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING LEGACY OF COMPASSION AND LOVE FOR LIFE AND HUMANITY 🙏🙏🙏 MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT MY FRIEND ❣️❣️❣️ REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND YOU HAVE DONE WELL IN THIS LIFE ❣️❣️❣️ GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🙏🙏

I love exploring abandoned places. There was an old shack in the woods that I found about 15 years ago. It belonged to the 98 year old woman who ran a store just up the road but she no longer lived in it. Everything looked like it was frozen in time. Dishes, fiurniture, dolls, blankets. Omg you name it. But when she passed away, her grandchildren ransacked it and took everything. It was so beautiful at one time.

This house is in Columbia Station, Ohio. As soon as I saw the unique roof lines and then the green houses of mari gardens I knew. Always wondered what it looked inside and the history. Very interesting

Cool and beautiful old house. The loft area above was probably used as a location to place musicians during parties. I lot of grand old homes had them overlooking the ballrooms.

Seen this house on another explore channel and this is the best house ive ever seen on any channel yet .....

The craftsmanship of the wood work & leaded glass is incredible! Thanks for sharing this unique place!

Very religious man with artifacts throughout this unusual home/hospice. Quite a bit of styles. Looks like updates in different tastes. Would be an exquisite restoration. Good bones! Oh and those wonderful carved faces I do believe they are of the 7 deadly sins. Very appropriate and quite incredible. Especially for the religious owner.

It's such a beautiful mansion. The architecture is a masterpiece. Hopefully, someone comes, to live there.Simply wonderful.

What an awesome example of a 30’s Tudor house! It should be restored! I certainly would not focus on that tacky furniture in the drawing room! The people who built this estate would have had fine furniture that went with the architecture! Those floors that you mentioned are original.

Hopefully someone will restore this lovely home and enjoy it for many years. It’s lovely!

He sounds like a really great guy. I wish I had the money to fix it n keep his dream alive.

Such a beautiful house. The owner sounds like he was a wonderful man. 💗

What an absolutely lovely home. I can only hope that someone falls in love with it, moves in, and brings it back to life.

Beautiful architecture and the roof is a piece of art.

It's so beautiful, such a shame he didn't get to do what he wanted. If I had the money, I'd buy it and restore it. And yes, it's French. If not original, then a great copy. Thank you for sharing.

Reminds me of the Adam’s family house on the inside but it’s a shame all those photos and personal things are going to ruin like that what a grand place just going to shambles very sad

Thermador kitchen stove is from the 70's .. a vintage piece worth keeping!! IMO. Thermador was a TOP brand, still in business today over a 100 year old company.

This house should be a museum ❤

Hey Ranger Rick: the record album at 17:05 is a collection of piano pieces by Franz Liszt, performed by Aldo Ciccolini. "Les Annees de Pelerinage" translates to "the years of pilgrimage."

18:38 Looks like Batchelder, Claycraft, or other arts & crafts era tile; probably original to the house & valuable. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Thermador was top of the line for appliances back in the day

The oven is pronounced Therm-ah-door. I’ve seen several Thermadors in old mansions. Cool explore!

A beautiful house. The great room looked almost like Gothic architecture. Amazing that it is just sitting there. 🐼

I would love to go into a place like that and straighten it up so it looks like it might have when it was originally abandoned. Get the trash out, vacuum the floors, dust, clean the windows. etc... I guess that's not popular. It might make some good before/after videos.

Absolutely stunning! It definitely should be made into a museum!

So beautiful. It’s a little creepy considering the history, but I can see the building can remade into a school or a restaurant/bar. Sad most of the stuff were left to rot. Generosity could have saved the place.

I’d want to look through every single thing in that house. Basement is definitely creepy. I guess he didn’t need the money from those checks.

Liszt, Franz Liszt was the artist on the albums. He was a Hungarian composer. Mostly piano! :) Really great video, thank you. This is one of the best tours of an abandoned home I've seen. The great room is so beautiful. Too bad it fell into such disrepair. Gorgeous house.

That's a major brand of Wall Oven going to say maybe the 1980's era. Thermatronic II BY THERMADOR. But could be mid 1970's but is a higher end Brand of kitchen major Appliance.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❣️❣️❣️ I SIMPLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE OLD BEAUTIFUL PLACES ARE NOT PRESERVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO WITNESS AS PROOF OF SUCH BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE AND MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP HAVING BEEN EVEN POSSIBLE !!!

Simply magical!! I see so much potential to restore this beauty. The kitchen is rather creepy. Great explore!

whoever lived there loved playing and listening to Franz Liszt!

❤ At the end, you can't take it with you.

That roof is amazing!

Nice to see someone appreciates it’s beauty and is restoring it.

I don't understand how someone can just find all these nice abandoned places that still hold a ton of valuables and furniture? Makes you wonder why it's all still left behind in every video I seen so far?

What a wonderful house to say the least. Maybe the pandas went the people he was helping. Too bad it is in an abandoned situation though. Maybe someone will buy it and restore it. Nice thought. Have a great day

Even if you were a millionaire, restoring this beautiful home to it's original splendor would bankrupt you. But it would feel so damned good to live in it.

The kitchen is beautiful, could see myself doing sooo much cooking in there. ❤

Hello new to the channel and loving it so far!!! This house is AMAZING!! Iam from maine an abandoned houses just are like this here .. I can't get over how beautiful thus house it.. thank you so much for the share

I love Tudor homes. This would be so much fun to bring current. BTW that's a Jesus doll...no comment lol

That's beautiful! I would have loved to come across something like this while urbexing, but I don't think there are places like this in Norway. The furniture and everything being so pristine after all this time. Just amazing. I hope someone will buy the place and move in, it shouldn't just sit there to rot.

I love what you've done with the panda bears looks like a tea ☕ party 🥳🎉😂❤

This home is such a unique and beautiful pad. And God bless Mr. Smith for his graciousness and service for our elderly. He was surely a soldier for God. Working for the betterment of humanity rather than joining the ranks of Satans army. May he RIParadise. Ranger Rick, did I hear you say it doesn't matter if you're religious as long as you are a good person? I would like to clarify something. While it is always good to be a decent human being, no doubt. We will ALL one day be accountable for all of our actions. Good works alone do not merit salvation. While Im certainly not religious, (religion alone doesn't even give you salvation) I am a born-again Christian, and according to Gods word, the only way to heaven is to become born again. John 3:3 explicity states Noone can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. If you are a believer, take heed, especially because you never know when your life might be taken. If you weren't born again, eternity would not be a place I would want to be. Something to ponder. Great home, Rick. Thank you for sharing.

That first room on 2nd floor-is a viewing room for owners to view church sermons/meetings for privacy

Imagine getting inside that home and finding all those pandas staring at you 😂

Don't ever bend to someones bitterness in the comments. Stay exactly who you are. Thank you for your videos. I like them a lot.

This looks like a home that you only see in fairytales. Beautiful! Somebody mentioned where it is so it really isn't that far away from me. Maybe 40 mins. away.

I live near this house. We've tried to see the inside and at one time tried to buy it.

That wagon wheel makes me think it's a hunting lodge for the elite and the very very wealthy

I believe that furniture is French Provincial which was vert popular in the 70's..

Well critic's will be critic's i wouldn't be the strong Man i am today if it wasn't for those types of people But i really enjoyed the video my guy ..... Much love and respect God Bless 🤍

Wow!!! It sounds like mr Smith was a caring amazing person!!! 😊

This home is beautiful

Maybe the guy who lived in the house gave the stuffed panda bears out as gifts to people

You had stated in the intro that he went to the seminary. That would explain all the religions artifacts. This house is beautiful. It should be on some kind of registry of historic places. Great video. Follow up PLEASE?🙏🙏🙏

The old oven is by thermador. And you pronounce it like therm a door but with only one o not two . I remember cause my grandma use to have one just like that

Beautiful house 😊 amazing

Awesome treasure house, with special details, thank you!!!

That was perfect timing on 35:41 the panda in the toilet...😂😅😂 Laughed my butt off thank you I needed that . L&R (love & respect) Rchel

The living room, is very Beautiful and the sofas have company now with all the Panda 🐻 Bears.

I,m from Philadelphia I love watching

So much cool stuff makes you want to clean and stay.

😊OMG...I want it...totally

I love this house I'd buy it!

The furniture looks like baroque style furniture.....very beautiful and yes, very French...

Wow what a beautiful house

I would love to do this kind of exploration!!! It’s SO interesting!! Just thinking of the people who lived here and their stories!! ❤

That roof is amazing, wonder how much that would cost today to build.

Love ❤ Love ❤ Love ❤...I would love to live there...Thanks for sharing....❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have seen this house before.. I'm 68 years old and I have been collecting all sorts of pandas since I was 16.... So I loved this house... I sincerely hope you put all of those pandas back what you found them..🐼🐼🐼🐼

My goodness. What a cool place! Why is it abandoned?? Loving this explore.

There's a tears in my eye whenever I'm watching your videos. I'm just wondering that somehow, this people who lives on this abandoned houses are once a part of this world. I'm curios about how they live before😢

Very cool place…”yes indeed “!!!

"Mr Smith probably had those panda bears for his patients!

I would love to restore this home

This was a nice tour.

The upstairs "loft" was a Minstrel's Gallery. When the lord of the manor had a banquet, the musicians played up there.

Do you have any information if this house could be bought an restored?

It would not surprise me if this was once a church. The specific arch of the windows and the balcony overlooking the main room. That would have been for the choir and a piano or organ. Those closets across the wall were for the choir robes. That main room and the cellar are original. Everything else was an add on later. Did you notice the live edge wood? The ax marks on those big beefy beams too. Very aclectic although it looks like a Tudor from the outside. I believe you mentioned Mr. Smith was going to be clergy of some sort but chose the path of elderly care. All the statues make a lot of sense to me. The law books were very interesting. Old. Perhaps his father and or mother were first generation immigrants. Either dad practiced law or was just interested in it due to being an immigrant. The house likely reminded them of their country. That therm-a-door oven is high end for sure. Someone is mowing the lawn. Lol. Also looks like someone attempted to start renovating. A sad yet inspiring story. Clergy generally devote themselves to God, a life of poverty and helping others. He found his calling. I’m sorry it never came to fruition.

Beautiful home!😊

He sounds like a compassionate man

Very beautiful mansion. Some body need to take care of.Very,very,very beautiful.

This is absolutely magical! Is this available by chance?

What a sad story…..that should be saved and cherished by its future care takers….it should be preserved regardless of cost or work needed!

Whenever I hear that somebody was the sweetest old man or lady that you could have ever met. I instantly think yeah, right check below the basement. That's where they always hide the bodies..lol. And it's always the "nice people".. .

Omg you made me laugh out loud with the Jesus doll!

Tudors are absolutely my favorite residential style... if I owned it, I would follow a more restomod restoration ethos - I would do it in a Tudor revival/transitional style... As a wolverine, knowing he was a buckeye... the apropos is palpable. I adore this place.

What an interesting old european style house. But it looks to me like it was left since a decade ago not a few years.

Knew you were from Louisiana when I heard your voice, before reading about you! I grew up in Lafayette! Love your channel, glad I found it!

Love the video,I loved what you did with the panda,s at the end.👍

Your abandoned time capsule has smoke coming out of the chimney.
