In the video you mentioned that "some spend money to fix this house up". I just wanted to let you know, that in early 2000 a woman purchased the home, put a new roof on, started electrical work, and brought in a contractor to start with the plaster repairs. Shortly after the new roof was on a strong storm came through ripping the roof off. Falling in financial distress she couldn't afford to replace the roof. Along with the roof disaster the contractor decided to steal the treads and railing off the main staircase. That was the turning point for this home. Thank you sharing this video. It's the last footage we will ever get to see of this gorgeous home.

I used to live in this home back in the 90s with my family, I have to say it was sometimes creepy especially at night. There was a room down the hallway that I had never seen until I watched this video because when we moved in there, there were other belongings in that room from the previous owners. You couldn't open the door because there was so much stuff in front of the door. I remember reaching my hand in there trying to see if I could find a light switch the walls felt like velvet they were super soft. The first room on your right when walking up the stairs was my sister's room. We would hear things at night down that hallway almost everynight. One night she said she heard something coming down the hallway, she was waiting for one of us to pop up in her room. She looked up and there was a old lady with a Walker standing in her doorway. My little sisters room was the room down the hallway on the right, the tiny room. She ended up sleeping in my room most nights because we walked in her room seeing her horse jumper bouncing. We were kids so you know how kids imaginations are maybe it was nothing. It was cold and always drafty, but it was a old house. The room with the couch in it was my room. I had bunk beds set up on the right side wall. The other room on the right coming from the stairs was my other sisters room. When you go down the winding stairs, which was my favorite part of this house! There is a room right in front of it, that was my parents room, that room was beautiful. It had beautiful hand carvings all over that room. The other little sit of stairs that you see in the video went from the kitchen to the upstairs. It was a privilege to live in this home even if it was sometimes scary. It was our beautiful Victorian home. I mean beautiful! I was devastated to hear someone burnt it down. We were planning on making a trip to come see our old home, but didn't make it in time to see it standing. I did come and see it after it had burnt, it was very sad to see in that way.

That had to be one hell of an amazing home in it's day. All the wood work the details on the ceilings. This is one time I'm glad to see stuff missing you know whom ever took the stair rails gave it a good new home and restored to the beauty it once was. I love these older homes, so much pride in how they were built. So sad somebody didn't care enough to save this once Grand Lady. Thanks for the tour and please be careful. Glad your okay. Merry Christmas to you and yours

It is great to find footage of this lovely haunted historical house, before the fire.

I know this house is in Ohio, but the details, design and overall style looks very much like a George Franklin Barber design. Most of his work is in the south, from the Western Carolinas over through central Texas. There is a foundation dedicated to his work in Knoxville, TN (there was in the 80's anyway). I'm gonna guess that this place was built circa 1875. The smaller rooms at the top of the back stairs were likely servant's quarters. It was common to have a live-in nanny or housekeeper in that era. While not exclusive to Barber homes, the intricate plaster work and ceiling medallions were signature to Mr Barber's designs. I can only imagine how beautiful the original woodburning stoves must have been. If you haven't already figured it out, I'm a big fan of this particular architect, as well as Victorian architecture in general. Now, on to another topic that I'm sure others have expressed their opinions about. Safety. The first thing I'd like to suggest is that you invest in a pair of good construction grade work boots as I'm sure that you're aware of the danger of stepping on nails during your explorations. Don't skimp on them either. Just consider them as one of the necessary tools of the trade in old house explorations. I might be a little more focused on this, as I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to the tetanus vaccine. Even so, when something so serious can be prevented so easily, there's no reason not to do so. And lastly, it's not really a great idea to go into old structures on your own. Especially one that is as structurally questionable as this place was. OK, I'll climb down off my soapbox now- LOL- and thank you for sharing this journey with us. It's such a sad thing to see something that was once so beautiful literally falling in on itself. I doubt this place will be around for very much longer considering its advanced state of deterioration. I can only hope that someone will salvage the parts of/from the house that are worth saving before they are lost forever. As you pointed out, so many things that were in the house were obviously painstakingly created and must have been stunning when the house was first built. That kind of craftsmanship is almost nonexistent today. Thanks again for sharing. I'm gonna subscribe for sure and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

I would say that the house was built in the "Italianate" style. You can tell by the outside brackets underneath the roof eaves, the flatter style roof, the extra tall windows, doors and ceilings and the sweeping, spiral staircase. The 1850's to 1870's were when this style of house was most popular. The term "Victorian" actually denotes a time period, specifically during the time of Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901. It would have been a very grand house indeed in its day!

What a damn shame that house was left to rot. Great explore!

That was so fun to watch.Such a beauty gone to waste. Hope you were not hurt to badly when you went through the floor. Thank you, I really enjoyed your adventure.

Oh My be careful. When you went through that hole I felt like I was going too. I love your videos. And so far as I have been watching I have not heard any cussing and for that I thank you, the videos are much more enjoyable without that. Keep up the good work and do be careful. Clean out those scratches when you get home so they do not get infection because you do not know what has been in this house.Thanks again for your so far clean videos.

Such a Beautiful House it's so SAD to see that People don't take Good Care of them and Keep them up! Wishing It would be Restored! 💖

New subscriber; Ohio born and raised. Old homes fascinate me, great seeing what's in my state. Kinda sad though. Imagine this old place in it's prime. Full of life. Thx for sharing, look forward to more videos

So glad you are ok. Thanks for the video. Your narration makes it great. I can imagine how beautiful that home must have been.

That could have been a well in the kitchen,As a kid the neighbours were updating there kitchen in a old farmhouse,and a well was found under the floor..

Amazing find! Even in extreme decay still beautiful! Wonderful still shots at the end, really defined the period. Thanks for taking us along!

It looks so eerie, like something from a horror movie! Loved the well!

Love those old Victorian homes! It would be amazing to see old photos of it back when it was looking good.

This house kind of reminds me of the one from the movie Fight Club. Such a cool place! I watched this with my 2 nephews. Thanks for keeping the language clean and suitable for youngsters! I love exploring old places. I wish we could preserve them somehow (not vandalize them). Good work!!

Makes me a little sad to see such workmanship go to ruin. Thank you for showing us, who, otherwise would not have been able to see true craftsmanship.

Whew!! Pretty scary watching you walk on those fragile floors. Glad you weren't badly injured. The wood work is beautiful, just have had a lot of charm in its day. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

Another great explore, well done!

I'm so jealous!! What a bomb video!! Keep up the fantastic work!!

My family and I lived in this house for about a year back in 94-95 and it was a beautiful Victorian home. It looked nothing like it did in this video. I don't know what happened to it since we left, but it looked NOTHING like this.

That cistern probably had a small hand pump on a counter and water came to the kitchen , it might have had a large basin or sink for the excess to flow away. Woodstove for cooking. Would have been a really cool setup that folks are re-creating today.

Thanks for this tour. I liked that you took your time and you seem systematic. I can almost see how the house could have looked in its heyday; that made me appreciate the decay so much more.

what a great old house. Very nice find and a cool explore. Enjoyed

Wow...Wish we could see what it once looked like..Stay Safe..

This is excellent! Great video.

Loved this! Thank you!

from what is shown in this recording that house was way to far gone to be restored. Sad to hear it is burned down. I would love to walk through places like that but have that fear of the cops showing up and get in trouble for traspasing.

I would buy that place if the price was right. It would be a good restoration job but it would cost a lot. Thanks for showing it.

Thanks for the tour. It must have been a lovely home once upon a time. :)

I really enjoyed it...Thanks for sharing

Thanks for posting.

Wow, What a beautiful Victorian house... The architectural detail on the outside was just gorgeous... and the rounded staircase...just beautiful. It's a sad thought to think that it was all lost in a fire..( I haven't watched that video yet) I also loved the superimposed Christmas tree...well done, Thanks

House looks Soo much larger on the inside. You should Never go exploring alone.

If it was close to an outside wall, it may have been the indoor outhouse. They were usually located off the kitchen area. In days gone by it was a modern convenience not to have to walk to the outhouse. I had one in my old Victorian home in upstate NY and when I looking at older houses in Sacramento, CA I saw one as well. The Real Estate agent was shocked when I told her what it was!

Awesome house, Awesome video; & whew, that was a shocker, when you step on weak floor. So Appreciate to let us know your ok.. That house had to be elegant in it's day..

The brick structure in the kitchen is what was called a "copper." They were usually lined with a copper pot type thing and used to heat water. Early version of our water heaters. Had one in an old house I lived in which we were fortunate enough to also find the floor plans for. Had no earthly idea what it was until then. Great videos, btw. Thanks for sharing!

please be careful in those old houses my friend. I'd hate to have something happen to you. and I don't know why but thought that comment about the toilet was really funny. lol

Great explore 👍

What an amazing old house that would of been! It's to bad that someone couldn't of saved it. I saw light switches but no outlets, did you? No doubt that it was very grand in its day. I had a feeling that you was going to fall through the floor. Putting the image of the Christmas tree in there was awesome. great job on this one.

This house must have been breathtaking when built. I really do enjoy your style of videography. You take your time and you don't rush through. I have subscribed to your channel.

"A man in 1958,on accident killed his child,Incased with guilt killed his wife then himself,House sat empty ever since!!!"

great explore, it must've been a beautiful place back when it was alive

You can still see the beauty of once had been.

awesome video...........Hope seeing some more videos .. man u got balls to go in houses i try one time i was so scared lol god bless take care..

It's an old cistern, where the water from rain on the eves/gutters would run into the cistern, a source of fresh water on many farms back in the day......later people just used them to dump trash into. Nice find! ty for the video

If I was you I wouldn't go in there alone your pretty brave to go in the house alone

yeah a huge fifteen foot christmas tree sitting right there in that window would look just cool. and very pretty too.

Seeing these just breaks my heart! I would just love to have a Victorian home! The craftsmanship was top notch, so sad to see this still beautiful home even now going down hill!

I've driven by this many times, and wondered why it was let go-a shame! Thanks for the video!

Holy crap bud thought you was a goner for sure there, glad you made it out alive!! Looks like you caught that place just in time a good blow would level that place. some awesome architecture there would have been amazing back in the day, such a shame how these places just get left to deteriorate. sorry i havent commented in a while my computer died and with christmas it took a while to save up for a new one. all the best bud, stay safe and be lucky!!!

To share a little of the location's history would be a nice touch to a video like this. U gotta know that we who watch these things would be craving that. Nice video.

I picture this house in its prime. Absolutely fascinating! Would love to have taken a walk through. My mother remembers it.

_You can tell you really enjoy doing this._

Good video, but you need a better light. I couldn't see much. too dark

Creepy old house. Might be haunted...ya never know..I love seeing these types of old houses.

That window above the entrance is called a transom window. Very popular in well to do Victorian times. Just a gorgeous house still! I can imagine what it would of been like to live there! I like the beautiful ornate decorative aspects of the Victorian era. Nice find!

enjoyed this explore

On December 21st at around 2am (Reports say). Someone burnt this house down. Such a shame. Kinda scary since I live like a mile from this house.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.I hope you didn't get hurt when you fell!

i thought at first you had some company during your visit as could see the odd orb fly past now and then but after 18 mins the screen is full of them so realised they must have just been dust particles! cool video though and a very interesting old house.

I enjoyed the video. Just wish you had a better light so I could see better....

A lot of old houses have a cistern to collect rain water. It's usually concrete and similar to an underground silo added onto a side of the house.

Happy you did not hurt yourself .

The pantry room as you called it, was actually the kitchen.

I grew up down the road in nova. Always gave me the creeps but I loved it. Was upset when it burned down.

It is a cistern. Rain water off the house was probably guttered into it at one time.

Really liked your video I think back in the day it must have been a nice place to live and had really butiful bay windows and stair case.It's a shame that no one tried to restore it but due to the rot of the place it would cost a lot of money to fix it up and cost more money than its worth.I think it's funny someone wrote Mom was here 2011 I'm glad you did not show what other things that were wrote that were not good but enjoyed your video hope you make more I will be sure to watch them and comment on them keep up the good work Carmicheael.

It would be interesting to see if you could look up any historical info on the property and possibly any pictures of it from its former life.

what a beautiful house. such a shame it is in such a shape. The big heavy pocket doors are usually between a living room and parlor., The parlor was the only room that guests were received(basically)..and could be closed off from the family. The curved staircase gorgeous.. (two staircases like this usually meant they had a servant/cook...that had a small room upstairs in the back and the stairs led down to the kitchen. The brick thing under the floor in the kitchen area looks to be a cistern that washing water could be drawn from.. The drinking water was usually drawn from the well by a pump.

the big hole could have been a cistern for household water, my grandparents had one in the kitchen of their farmhouse, as a small child it always frightened me when they opened it.

The open domed structure under the kitchen floor looked like a Cistern.

I really do'nt know for sure , but I heared before that some old houses had a carbide well under them for wall lamps ect.

I currently live in Nova. I actually want to explore this soon.

Hi, u said that you found an article on the history of this home. Is there a link? Or can you give the details of that?

go with a GOOD light source, we ain't bats batman

Can you turn your lights on?

Matt Damon checking out locations for a new Jason Bourne movie?

wow, that well left uncovered looks pretty dangerous! What a beautiful house, do you ever take anything with you? just curious

thats so cool that shouldnt be abandoned those old house could be made into a lovely home

Poor house. Any news on it lately?

Wow, I really wish me and my mother would have stopped to see it! That house is amazing. Sad it burned down.

awsome vids,,,

I believe parts of the foundation may be "blue-stone" Also the hole with tapered edges may have been the top of a cistern. The woodwork and trim can be worth alot of money. Mortise locks are big bucks too

The cement hole was a cistern. Many houses had one in the back yard to catch rain water. Usually any addition to a house was a kitchen in the rear built over the cistern. A well was drilled and a hand pump was installed near where the kitchen sink was to be. Please on your next tour move the camera slower. We don't get a chance to see what you do.

definitely worth fixing up

EVP at 12:26 I'm not sure exactly what's being said, but kinda sounds like "How could it"?? Not sure.

I'm pretty sure that was a well at one time

This house is about 10 miles from where I currently live. (2016) I personally knew the family who lived there. I wont mention the name of the family, but there were about 14 kids, not kidding, and the family was dirt poor. There were kids from that family older than me and a bunch younger, we all attended Mapleton school district.The house fell into disrepair, and they moved out. Simple as that. The family still lives in the area, I see them every year at the Ashland county fair. I don't think every abandoned house is haunted. I will say that the kids of that family all had the same face, and to this day, I could recognize any of them. An odd bunch, very quiet.There's a more interesting "haunted" legend surrounding that area. See if you can find Gore Orphanage on the road by the same name just down 224 from that house. That was we did back in the day if we wanted a good scare.

New subscriber, but I had a hard time seeing, quite dark, but enjoyed anyway. The staircase would have been amazing.

The channel Scary Mysteries did the top 5 haunted houses in the U.S. like 6 years ago and a lot of death happened in that home. Murder/suicide. Being 12 miles from Youngstown where it resided I never heard about this. I did research and the murders and suicide did happen there. Crazy it burned down. Would of liked to have went there.

really spooky house maybe that hole is for hiding or keep it cool stuff but i see orbs something is there

That was an old well.

9.33 a nice orb

im still kinda curious to see the 3rd floor,even if its just from the top of the stairs

It just could be a copper! They used it to do a few things, heat water, wash clothes in it, make their pudding into it, cause their pudding was different , but usually every victorian kitchen had one in the day!

Hi. Would u have any idea or a good guess as to how many square feet the house was? With six bedrooms and the fancy rooms on the first floor plus the rotting unexplorable third floor I'm sure made this house quite sizable.

That was a cistern for water. Either they had a well, run off from a creek, or pumped in. Water storage.

Just an idea, that brick structure could be a large baking oven, maybe at one time they baked and sold bread ??? take care Tom
