Lordy..my dad was like this.A Greek migrant.Would not throw a thing out! Serial hoarder.Died virtually buried under piles of accumulated crap.Before people start pointing fingers and accusations at me we tried our best but at the end of the day, it's a mental illness and unless someone wants help no one can help them..

The 3rd home was definitely from the 70’s and my favorite out of the 4. The party room was their home business which also explains the backyard. Whoever lived there loved gardening as well.

Liked the first one , it was cozy

I loved the 'shelter' made from a motorhome roof!

I love the way you narrate everything. Thank you for taking the time to show us these places before they're gone and on other parts of the world. It's so fascinating to me.

One thing I loved about all 4 homes was the separate kitchen to the living area. I despise this "open plan" living of today's designs.

Good evening Paul I enjoy all your videos. I too love exploring old houses.

Two story definitely ‘70’s, reminds me of homes built by my school friends back about then.

Great explore as always! My Saturday night is complete 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thanks cool find! I hope someone gets that bird of paradise in the first house! So beautiful and healthy!

Good morning Paul,I couldn't believe the size of the main house,was like a maze ,huge must be of an Italian owner by the look of the backyard looks like my in-laws house they love to keep anything n everything you sure to find whatever you need in their shed ,I loved it and the interior is exactly like their home they built it in early 80s , another great video thankyou Paul have a great week 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺

House 3 had all kinds of stone fruit trees. I would say Peach, Plum, Nectarine, Apple, and probably a Cherry too. Along with a Mulberry. Would have been a great prolific garden at one stage. I think maybe Greek or Italians lived there, they were good for gardens and entertaining. The back shed could have been a carpentry business.

lol every time I watch your videos, the sound of the aussie birds in the background really gets my cats attention!

The man never threw away anything.

So addicted 2 watching this channel love the old style homes they tell a story of the way it was and how it’s changed so much

You didn't disappoint again. Coffee & you.🙂 Looked like original kitchen cupboards in the shed. The land is worth a fortune in the middle of a shopping precinct !

The wild birds singing best part and The wood and sand stone is really cool man that person had alot land put up all those barns space to work on stuff pretty sweet own hole block on side rd lol

I didn't think that you would ever get out of the maze ..we all most lost you in there ..then the oil ,slippery , bricks had to be by passed, ..thank you for taking us on this journey that can be dangerous at times.

I'd love to buy one of these old houses

Just a guess but it looks like the 'owner' bought 3 homes and a vacant lot back in the day, had his/her dream home built on the vacant lot and had the rental income from the 3 pay the mortgage on the primary residence...maybe! My suspicions could be further confirmed by the extensive workshop behind the primary residence. Maybe the owner was early retired 'trades' and performed all the upkeep on the rentals himself? LoL Thanks for the explore, mate!

Oh how I crave for those long deep baths. I miss the old ones were you could lay fully submerged in the water, unlike the crappy shallow one of today where you have to have some part of you sticking out and getting cold.

I don't feel any sadness regarding these homes being torn down, but most of the others you show I always get sad.

Good Sunday morning Not really old houses but surely they where better than the concrete jungle they will put up Great video thanks 😊🇦🇺

You are such a knowledgeable young man on these houses.The two story looks like it's in Florida with the palm tree 😍I think it's 70s as well.At least they are salvaging lumber,etc .Shame all houses are being torn down for cheap no character townhouses.I really enjoy your videos,stay safe.👍😀🇺🇸

So sad.All nice.Thanks for the look!

G'day mate. Driving round Adelaide, I think even if you do 4 properties every week you're not going to run out of options any time soon.

Another great video production of more character homes to be pulled down. Thanks for documenting them always great to see them before they are gone. Cheers MM

Hi Paul, as always great videos. Thanks for the tour.

A good example of 4 different architectural styles in a local setting. If you lived in the 3rd house. the other houses would bring in nice income as rentals, though I'd need to employ a house keeper to keep a place that large clean inside as the garden and workshop would keep me happily busy. The device at the 14:00 mark looks to be the adjustable mechanism for a Drafting Table that's missing its top. No doubt the developers paid a very nice sum to secure all those properties. Great video and walk through, thank you 👍

Thank you for sharing, the life these homes once had its sad to see them only to be demolished for some project to go up, nice to see you're videos, keep up the good works, keep safe, until then, see you in the next video.

The 3rd one is so 70s. Features in it are much like the home my parents built then. Thank you for sharing. I'm still in lockdown and at least I can travel with you on your videos!

Thanks for the video Paul

Paul thanks again for a great explore of four different dating between the 1940s to the 1970s. This is what I remember about suburbian Adelaide. The emergence of fashionable interiors from the 1970s to the 1980s can also been seen in one of the homes. I also remember seeing the Spanish facade homes scattered throughout the suburbs of Adelaide during the 1970s. Unfortunately, Adelaide will become unrecognisable with so many houses demolished and new builds taking place.

Dude, you find the most amazing properties!! That’s why you are my favorite UrbEx! Also, I’ve said it before, I love your accent!

I love those glass blocks,hope they are saved,here in the states,plain ones are quite expensive.😀💋🇺🇸

Great looking enjoy your exploring

Paul, love your videos bro! Keep up the great work sir!! 🤙🏼😁

So, I'm not sad about these homes, just the landscaping- the Palms, and the glorious plants around the big house. I am assuming the owner had the big home built- it kind of screams 70's, with the brick, arched doorways, and paneling. It was sure really lavish, by any standards, even today. One thing that I love about the older homes, that are so lacking with the newer homes, is that there, as here, the homes were always smaller than the lot- there was always a huge lot, and a small home- giving the homeowner ample space for gardening, animal-keeping, laundry poles, green houses, work sheds, and whatever else they might need. Now, there are itty-bitty lots, and seemingly bigger houses with tiny rooms. One thing that did surprise me in the big house, was the small bedrooms. I was expecting fairly large rooms. I bet those homes were in a wonderful neighborhood back in their time, now they would be a nightmare to live in- in that shopping and rental district. I do feel sorry for the neighbors when the nightmare of demolition and construction begins. Oh, Paul- I was so proud of you- three houses...... no yelling birds, no jumping cats, no running foxes..... THEN the 4th house. The bird begins to scream in abject horror the very second you set foot on the property. I sadly shook my head. You're cursed. But, you're extremely talented in documenting these homes- thank you, lol. Great job. See you next round- SDK

Wow four in a row impressive, looks like the owner is sitting on a gold mine, I’d say investment properties, knock down and rebuild and then rent them out. nice facades the first house was cute and cosy, the Spanish style house right across the road from the shops very handy! The fourth house nice facade too a lot of salvage going on. Hmm a lot of oil on the floor at first it did look like blood 🩸 hehe naughty kids can get locked in the little room!! Thank you again for another wonderful explore. :-) :-)

Hello Paul. Great video. I like when you explore more than one house. I guess it's because I like longer videos. And the fact that I like to explore older houses. To see how they were built and to see how others may have lived. As always, be safe and be careful. See you in the next explore.

Knew exactly where these houses were at 0:45! As a kid, the Spanish house fascinated the hell outta me. It always caught my eye. In the 20+ years of either riding my pushy past it or shopping there, never had I'd seen anyone go in or out of that house. Not even on the balcony or in the front garden. Always had a uneasy vibe to it. Old people used to live in the first 2 houses back in the early 90's. Thanks for the tour👍😃

Cathy Reardon Thank you for showing us more great homes. Would have liked to see the medallions on the ceilings and the arched doorways but I know they weren't of that age period. God Bless Keep up the good work. I might have said this before but I love your accent.😍

Wow! I've been past those homes amazing what was out the back.

Another fascinating vid Mate. 👍 My guess would be that with the main house that it was originally a blonde brick 50s or 60s build but had significant remodelling in the 70s to add the second floor and then further extensions in the 80s to add the glass brick entertainment room. Must have had some kind of home business for all the sheds and workshop areas.

Plum and cherry trees She was a country girl at heart Living in the mans dream of his castle

Loved the third house. The property was huge

That Spanish house was beautiful. I don't usually go for Spanish but that fixed up - I could live in that. Nice.

The oil spill in the last house-- at first, I thought it must have been from a leaky container, but as you went through the rooms and I saw how it was distributed evenly throughout the rooms, I started thinking, "Oil is an accelerant: this may have been a preliminary move toward arson?"

Hey Paul bro! Loved the vid ma man! Pausing it at 24:14 Theres a secret room behind a wooden slat door to the left of the wardrobe and a set of saloon looking small doors on the left into another secret room ……and also pausing it at 38:13 in the 2 storeys shed behind the rumpus room near the entrance way there’s a trap door leading down to an old cellar with a couple of barrels …..

The owner has made quit a bundle by selling those houses, no cracks and the big place looked like new, very nice find.

The ergonomics don't bode well for the new construct ,new studies show elevated stress levels affecting health in residents who are constantly exposed to traffic and noise pollution.I would say you are spot on for dates, the Mediterranean arches and wood paneling were a short lived style here in the mid /late 70s old nice working folks homes replaced by a hipsters bloc wow. Boy, you can bet they'll hate the noise! Cheers

I don’t know how it works where you are but in the United States there is sometimes a date on the windows on more “modern” homes. I really enjoy and appreciate your explores. Thank you for sharing.

Very interesting explore and new to your channel! You have a new subscriber! Have safe travels and future explores!

Gday Paul thanks for yet again a great tour of these four homes l think the two story home was built in the late 70s early 80s In the early 60s 70s you could only get silver sliding windows it wasn’t until late 70s early 80s they came out with the coated brown sliding windows although some of the stained glass and lights screamed 70s cheers for today’s viewings

G'day Paul, @ 38:02 print of Tom Roberts painting called "Lost Child". If it was the original, it'd be worth squillions. Loving working my way through your vids. Nice shot of the Parkholme shopping centre..Great job!!!

I remember in the states they started using plastic to make it look like stained glass in the mid to late 60's

So much potential on that house

Hello Urbex Indigo I'm thinking that a post war Europe person owned the white arched house and then brought the other three housed. The small back yards of the three houses made way for a big vegie and fruit trees and his other sheds. I'm thinking he may have been a builder saving anything he selvage from jobs. I have seen this before my dad was a great one for hanging on to bit and pieces so he could use it again he was from post war era as well. Thanks for this weeks videos Anne

Awesome video as usual. We have been watching you for some time now and love the 1920's homes. It's a shame they tare them down but totally understand when some of them are in need of total repairs. Just wish we could see who you are in the video's instead of just a voice. From Sandie & Tommy in Bath Somerset UK

I love the garden and fruit trees in a reAlly self contained home.looked like rabbit coops to me that was up off the ground .such a cool property.,it has everything you need.amazing.My My,love it all.👍❤️🇺🇸

Beautiful house

Great video, as usual. 😀 Not to be weird, but I could listen to your voice all day. 😆

You were right in the beginning 50’s wrong kind of paneling for 70’s

Always love your explores. This one was really interesting. I think you are right, all owned by the same family. I’m thinking a Greek, Italian or other Mediterranean family lived in one of these, possibly rented out the others? Reason - I lived in Norwood as a child where there were a lot of Greek and Italian migrants, and it was common for Greek and Italian families to own two blocks, one for their house, the other for a small hobby farm to grow vegetables, own chickens, often with a green house. I’ve seen this in other areas too with Mediterranean migrants like Vale Park, Campbelltown, etc - So I think the long strip of gardens behind the houses is a dead give away. What do you think?

Good video

yes Orion I was going to say the same 1 owner to four houses and he was the the handy man doing all the repairs to the other home such a shame that 2 story house was very nice love the style and the arches in it

first and second property with plain design, salvo guys have been in, the big third one with Spanish mission design, big garden area with chicken coups, workshop etc

That last house had a bad vibe about it. It wasn't just the stains on the floor. The Spanish Mission style was popular here in the early 1970s. At its best it was quite effective but at its worst it just looked cheap. That house has had what look like 1980s additions to the rear.

Nice find. He's crazy why they would want to tear them down they could go in and redo them put on for rent.

I think that painting was by Pattrick McCubbin titled "Lost in the bush " I stand corrected .John Keane .

Interesting videos. Aa a kid i explored a abandoned houses, now I am scared to in case they fall in on me.

Hi Paul, I used to live in unit 3/14 Chambers Street Marion, the block of 8 units, for 4 years, and I know my neighbours who live in the house next door, and lucky their house isn't being demolished. I sometimes went upstairs to the balcony and I could see the sheds and plants that the Italian rich family in the 2 storeys Greek looking mansion lived in! They were Italian, not Greek, and she loved her vegie garden and he loved to potter with cars, making things, fixing things, as he was a retired mechanical engineer, and even though the house had a Spanish look to it, they were Italian, pizza 🍕 land. I know I heard complaints from back neighbours in street behind about rats and mice plagues, so Marion Council would have been on their back about putting baits down. Do you know that there is a cellar outside near shed and a secret room upstairs? I quite like this home apart from too much 70's wall panels and I love the entertainment area out back, cool for parties! I used to love living right across from Parkholme shopping centre, so convenient!

Yeah that really pisses me off I can't stand kids going into abandoned buildings and poor oil all over the floor and then leave knowing the house is wide open for a stray animal to roam around and get oil all over their paws and then they lick and clean their paws and then they die because they've been poisoned, you would think parents would raise their children to be a little more compassionate when it comes to animals and private property.

The owner that does not want this home should donate this house 🏠 to the homeless

The 3rd big property, a maze of workshops and storage, chicken coups, big green house. The last owner ran a gardening, salvage, handyman busyness?

Beautiful stain glass

Wow wish I could have one of them homes. By the way hello fro Ford City Pennsylvania

I’d place the big house as early 80’s (the bathrooms, upstairs carpet SCREAM 80’s style)

The painting of "the lady standing in the bush" is a reproduction of a famous painting by Australian artist Fred McCubbin called 'Lost' which I think is in the National Gallery of Victoria. McCubbin is best known for his painting "The Pioneer". Another of his artworks (Down on His Luck") was defaced by protesters a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work!

4 homes built near a shopping center never seen that before , eventually there will be shops or townhouses built there .. once those 4 houses get demolished

Nice little family homes except for the last one although none of them were anything special. Too new to have special touches to them.

I am fascinated with that contraption 13:57. Some ancient weights exercise machine? But the branding that's very old fashioned writing 30's to 50's maybe and the phone number is that XL 2636? 🤔 Obviously no longer at Advantage Rd Highett. Owner likely they were European immigrants maybe something to do with home building. Typical they were laborious folk, so any repairs they did hence all the doors and trims etc, self sufficient, loved plants, gardening. They did well for themselves with 4 addresses but I wouldn’t want to have lived next to my landlord. The last one had a weird fireplace and cubby as he did it for his daughter and grand kids I betcha

He must of been a tall drink of water, looking at the tub!

Well sadly with each of these homes to many renovations had happened over the years and not much historical details remained. I did notice though the front door on the first place and last place where of the same type and vintage which was cool . I think that last house had some cool woodwork from the past with those locked doors . Wow that two story seemed to go on for a bit . Each and every one of these once well loved homes . Saw a couple probably just married move in , had a family raised the family and saw grandchildren as well . Those yards in the back other then the one which looked like it was a recycling depot where beautiful I am sure . Looked like these properties took up at least half if not all of a city block . In their place will be built cheep expensive condos which will have absolutely no character. Oh that huge Bird Of Paradise bush in front of the one home was beautiful. The neighborhood will now see and hear less of those beautiful birds which are alway singing and communicating with one another in your videos . Oh and vandals sure did make a mess in that last place maybe the place had been a rental and the vandal was angry they where displaced by the sale of the property or the person plans to return and torch the place . Thank you for sharing .

It's a shame that these homes are to be torn down.

What a shame all to be knocked over. Would love a workshop that size but hey ho you can't have what you can't get. Glad you managed to get in and see them before hand that oil was disgusting. But youngster will do what ever. Thank you for the vlog . 👍👍🥂

I would love to know the story behind those 4 houses particularly the big two storey house. The big house reminds me of my Greek uncle who has done well in his life and has a big Mediterranean house.

I moved into my house in 84 it was all raw brick and wood panelling hated they had even panelled the 40’s banisters soon got rid if it

Indigos used furniture Ltd. limited supply! Comes in original colours. New stock arriving every week! Why pay for imitation 40s, 50s or 60s look furniture when you can buy the real thing at a real discount price. No fake destressed cabinets here. It all real. LOL awesome video.

That was his wife wondering what have I got myself into?:(

Looks like someone was looking for a safe in those walls in the last house.

Wow where abouts are these Paul? I love the 2 storey!

had to come back to this one after i just learnt of the local legend known as the the scrooge , apparently his empire of development & rental served him well , your balcony footage was perfect & as he viewed it from across the road of his shops , he collected the rents every late friday in cash ! so it was assumed it was stashed in the house , upon these rumours kids especially have been tearing this house apart , 25:20 is a good example .

Each home was a decade older. For one family to build one home per decade. Grandparents in the 40s home, their kids in the 50s home, grand kids in the 60s 70s home?? Just a thought. Still some nice features in each home left though. Cheers for the explore!!😀👍

A little camera shy are you Paul? Of course it's only my observation from watching many of your videos. 😂🤣 Maybe it was a rather large family & each one had a home, but had easy access for visitations. I loved the two story design best. No doubt it was vandals with the oil. And you were hoping for blood??? 😱🙋‍♀️💜🇺🇸

Some people like to save everything and if they had to keep the house up. They probably had it already. There is another chanel I like to watch. He looks at the window sills to the date that is stamped on it. I don't know if you can do this in your country?

It's just so odd that the bedrooms don't have in built-in closets🤔

God with all these abandoned houses. You should put the homeless people in them.

They got divorced before the house was finished! Just guessing

They may have had more than 3 rentals.
