I understand the children not wanting to inherit the items but it always surprises me that they don’t remove the personal information from the property and moreso that they don’t sell the property. This goes for many of the videos.

We never had money but a lot of respect for our parents. We would never think of leaving their memories behind to rot. What kind of children would not even care about their parents and memories. Thank you for giving them so much respect.

How can anyone not honor their family members and heritage? Leaving these precious things to rot, baffling.

lesley has great communication skills, smooth, loving his style,

I can't believe THREE children just left this mess behind. How disrespectful of a parent who deserved respect. A shameful dereliction of duty.

Watching these videos has caused me to start thinking more about the tracks of my life, after I pass away. I have always just ignored the “after” phase of my life but I owe it to my 6 kids and 12 grandkids to not leave behind a mess. I'm 76 now and my parents lived to 85 and 92 - so time is running out.

I always wonder what happened to the children who want nothing to do with their past. It must be some kind of horrific situation.

All of those mementos saved for generations just to be abandoned to the elements-tragic beyond words!😢 The wedding album brought tears to my eyes, how could nobody care about that? I can’t believe the property in that condition is being sold for $3.2 million-just crazy! You did a beautiful job (as always) honoring the life lived in this home.

What a beautiful home. So very sad to see such beautiful pieces of furniture just left to decay and rot away! If the family did not want it why not donate instead letting it just rot away! So very sad of the vandalizing through out this home! How disrespectable to the memory of these people! Love what you do and the places you have explored!

This house must have been falling apart for numerous years. It's very sad that it couldn't be passed down to the children. Seeing the photos of the family on the ground really has me wondering what happened between the parents and the children. Thanks for a great video.

Such incredible disrespect from their children or any other family … It’s just sick and beyond words of human behavior 😢😢

so sad that his kids doesn't care about their family history .the house, pictures and stuff that will remind them of their parents and history of their family.

I doubt very seriously that this home is worth anywhere near 3.2 million. It may have been abandoned over back taxes owed on it. But I will never understand why pictures are left behind. Great video Lesly!

I don’t know why but that wedding album really made me upset there memories that should be cherished not discarded like trash 😢

Mrs H 🇬🇧 .... Lesley you just keep getting better with your fascinating finds... I find it sad that the photo's are just left...Those photo's are memories of day's gone by...They tell so much about this family's life ....They're priceless.. Thank you again such a great explore with a great history....❤

The Brothers of Decay, Are my favorite explorer's, Lesley makes you feel like you are there right next to him. He's a great story teller as well, His attention to details are always so spot on.... I hope that when there going to knock it down,That these gorgeous antique's are saved, And the vintage clothing as well.

Hi, again! I have watched again from Norway. To me its very nostalgic, as the doctor and wife married the year after I was born, they were a bit older than my parents who married very young. My dad died many years before mom, and she downsized and moved to a smaller apartement when we discovered she got Alzheimers. She later lived in a nursing home the last years, so we did not have much to clean up when she passed ladt year. It all happened little by little, but our parents home was very well kept and was sold. Mom bought her last home around 2008. This was sold when she left to be nursed. We children have shared and kept many memories, some furnitures, some pictures, some decorating items. Small things here and there. We are 3 siblings born from 1958 till 1963. We have cherished all the memories, even some not of money value. My daughter is very much like me, she will keep memories after us, because she knows we got memories from her grandparents and greatgrandparents as well. When we keep items of memories we make a home of history. Its not only material. I love stuff having affection value. I remember I wondered as a 5 year old why my greatgrandmother had so much old looking stuff totally different from the home I lived in. It was because my childhood home was brand new, looking like from the late 50thies and up into the 60thies. We had not yet inherated anything from our grandparents or greatgrandparents. It came much later when I was adult and a parent myself. Then my parents had a home mixed from 3 generations, ....while my home, now with small kids, were new and modern. Untill I got old stuff from my grandparents and from my parents. I love to take care of stuff. My diningroom furnitures is almost 40 years old. I have painted them and made new chaircovers. I do not buy new stuff if I like what I have. My beautiful classical looking dining furnitures is made of oak and got space for 12. My kids grew up with it. It was new when they were 3 and 5 years old. They where white before, but now they are dark blue. I love the memories of all the family dinners with the kids and now grandkids. All the Christmases and birthdays. We have moved a few times, after they grew up and moved, but the same dining furnitures makes it still look home to them. I do not kling to material things, I just take care of it as long as I live. I do not have anything I cant leave. Heaven is much better. ❤

I just want to say- my mother is living her final days in a 10 bedroom what one could call a 'mansion', and I have zero interest in any of the things in the house. Family members have taken the valuables and mother continues to manipulate everyone. There are no memories of that horrid place which I would wish to have. So, appearances may be deceiving, there could be reasons why family members have no interest in 'family history', they just want to be rid of the memories of it. I can rest easy knowing that people will always speak kindly of me and the things I did. So Lesley, don't forget that the little insignificant 'peasant' homes are often full of love far more than mansions, but on the other hand you won't find kind people's things abandoned like that.

It takes a certain kind of person to love, respect, & appreciate Antiques ☕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👰📖💞☮️🌺🛐🌻🥀I'm one of the few in my family. 🥰😘☕

Thank you, “Bros of Decay,” for always sharing such great videos of incredible ruins with us. I'm always fascinated by the past lives and the biography of the owners of these mansions. Keep up the great work!

I enjoy these videos so much 😊 I find Leslie's voice so soothing and relaxing!! I would love to go explore with them 😊

WOW what a sad story! What is wrong with their children they dont want the pictures of their dad an mom ???WOW no love today???😢😢😢😢😮😮

This documentary was wonderful, a life story that had a beginning and an end... our life goes by very fast. Your exploration makes you come back to life so well that it's like stepping into a time machine...thanks a lot Lesley...hugs from Brazil.

That is why I love the old homes around the 1800's. They were built so much better.

I love watching your shows. So much detail and I appreciate your reverence of these places!!

Leslie, no offense, but I like it better when you explore together with Danny. You compliment each other so well! I’m used to see you as a main character, in a front of camera and Danny right behind it, adding interesting remarks. Hope to see you together again

Lovely to see your host and guest for this exploration, Marcel! How cool!

So very sad! So happy you were able to document this before it’s destroyed.

Can't wait to see this🎉. I will try to jump on the Livestream. I am going to be partying with my nephew graduating. It looks great Lesley 😍 enjoyed the fabulous documentary with photos and beautiful antique furniture. That blue plaid wallpaper was so 😎 cool.

Unfortunately in the United States, this is what happens too often with abandoned homes. It’s really sad that there is little to no respect for other’s homes, property, etc. And our country is so very young compared to your European counties. Your chateaus and castles are centuries older than our entire USA!! Thank you for all of your time, carefully researched history, and attention to detail that you give to each and every video.

No one wanted anything- 3 children and no one wanted anything? I want these properties to be distributed ASAP. Especially Historical properties. Wasteful- and shameful

Hi Lesley, what an amazing find, this place is the apotome of American life, as I watch a lot of KZfaq, and see how people in Europe are, they seem more appreciative of their gardens and the lovely homes that they have, not so much the grandeur and the objects they fill it with. It saddens me that they emptied the China cabinets and the wardrobes but left the wedding album and baby and family photos. It was nice to meet Marshal I hope he had a nice time with you exploring. Thanks again Lesley. Love from N.Y.

It would be interesting to know what happened to the children

The mirrors are gorgeous.

Leslie what a beautiful review of a once beautiful home. The mirrors you showed us are Venetian mirrors very expensive and whoever bought them really must have loved them. I can't believe the children just left everything like it was nothing to their parents. Thank you for all your❤ videos❤

Thank you ! Your voice is very relaxing

A true time capsle...we may never know why the children havent taken the property...what we can see a great life the doctor and his wife built...grand home a sense of security and love of their home...i wish people wouldnt trash these home for greed and entertainment thank you for a well done documentary!..

I love the manner in which you do each exploration. The respect you show and the history you share of these families is wonderful. Each place is a hidden gem that has been forgotten in time. Thank you for sharing.

I just can't fathom the family not keeping their parent's wedding album. History lost, so sad.

A wonderful job. I enjoyed the video chat also and as I wrote I just can not understand these children that abandoned their families photos and to see a decaying home. TY again for this beautiful stunning video you made. I'll be here waiting for your next tour!

I'll never understand how or why a property is left without any family intervention or care. I just can't wrap my head around it. Wouldn't you at least hire someone to sell the stuff, collect personal items, and sell the property? That no one took care of anything and left it for looters and vandals to rummage through seems disrespectful and negligent to me. Maybe there was too much bad blood and feelings between the surviving family members. It's a mystery. Also it looks like way more than 7 years of decay. The property is stuck in the 60s to early 70s and looks like it has been rotting for 40 years or more. It was obviously a beautiful house at one point, but a money pit and maintenance nightmare with a sad ending. Thanks Leslie for another great exploration.

As always, a very interesting and insightful video. Thanks Lesley, thanks Danny. 👍❤

I just lost my Brother today and I am so sad but thank you because you help me not to think about it for a moment I love all you do and all the place you show us thank you for sharing 🥰😘😞❤🙏🌻🌷

Hi Lesley, Abandoned Million Dollar Mansion of Doctor in the United States!! Wow so many things to see, some I recognize & some I don`t!! It`s a Shame that in 2 Years this Place will Be Demolished, a Shame the Children at least should of taken the Pictures & sold All the Furniture & Chandeliers!! When the Demolition Day comes those Men, will go thru the house & take everything they want & the rest will be Smashed!! ( I seen my neighbors house smashed & all the windows & lights hanging & bathrooms were Smashed, thankfully the 2 Adult Children took everything out of house except the Queen Waterbed with sheets behind, & I called a friend & they took it!! The Neighbors house had a Above Swimming Pool & Whirlpool Tub, was put in dumpster) This Mansion everything like Pictures of Family will be put in the Dumpster & anything they Don`t Want!! As for you saying a Collapsing Door..it`s Called Push Door Open! Bread Toaster is Called Toaster Built In! As for the Vandalism Jerks, looking for things to Sell were Crazy, because All the Furniture, Mirrors, Crystal Lamps & Chandeliers, & Stained & Clear Beveled Windows & Round Top Windows..All Worth Money $$$!! You thought in the Kitchen it was strange to have Cabinets So Low, that was for Serving Food on Plates to Family or Guests!! In the Child`s Yellow Bedroom the Bed was called a Day Bed!! I think the Vandalism Broke the Railing to go Upstairs! I think the Furniture could of been Changed in Different Years!! The Master Bedroom had a Beautiful Satin Blanket on the Bed!! As for Presidents, Correct President John Kennedy & the other one was President George Washington in Basement!! The Picture thing You Pointed to that Most of Us had was View Master Finder, I too had one!! In Basement..You Missed the Bubble Gum Machine Next to the Bar!! The Bad Shape Record Player was called a Victoria Record Player!! Swimming Pool, was Gorgeous...maybe they will save it for Next Mansion & they had a 6 Car Garage, that will Be Smashed!! Thanks Again, Lesley for showing all of Us this Abandoned Mansion!! Take care & Be safe, Love Barb from Central Illinois USA🥰😎❤

It is difficult to understand how the children, grandchildren did not preserve documents, photos... the important life story, legacy of this doctor, everything seems to have been neglected by the family members.

Thank you Lesley & Danny for another tour 😊👏🏻 another Home run !!! Much love 💕 from California :)

I love your narration. What an imagination. When I see all the abandoned pictures and treasures, it motivates me to downsize at retirement because our children don't want our items.

Thankyou for sharing.

Just wanted to point out something about the Doctor's age/date of death [2015]. Lesley says "[the Doctor] was born 'post WW2'..." If Doctor died in 2015 at age of 86, he would've been born in 1929 [PRE-WW2] and, most likely, fought in the US/Korean War in the early 1950s.

This one broke my heart! No one took the pictures. No one to even remember these lives. So very sad.

It is possible that the adult children were too ill, either mentally or physically to care for the family home. Terrible things can happen to families.

Hi Lesly, really i love watching your channel. Philippines here with love

That bed is called a day bed in America. The pictures of female children were probably grandchildren pics. The house over all is traditional decor from 60's forward.

I cant believe this abandoned mansion just only 7 years abandoned..like 20years damage already seen.

You guys are special!! Wow!!

Una vez más una exploración hermosa! Cuánta belleza en esos muebles y objetos antiguos, gracias Leslie por tanto amor a esos hallazgos y por tanto respeto, muy afortunado Marcel de acompañarte y tan generoso de recibirte, saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina

A lot of the photos you saw were of either a daughter or granddaughter because they looked post 1980s photography. They likely had kids in the 1960s, so any of the more modern looking color photos are grandkids, which were probably born in the 80s and 90s. Just sad that all those photos were left behind! I can only think there might have been some tragedy preventing the kids from reclaiming their parents photos!

Gros merci pour la traduction en français j'apprécie grandement . Un voyage dans le temps . Gigi

J'aime bien ce que vous faites, et avec beaucoup de respect que vous traiter les lieux et les personnes qui sont vécu dans ces lieux. 👏👏

It seems that the children and other relatives of the baby boomer generation don't care a whitt about their heritage. Don't want any of the cherished family heirlooms. Don't even want to be bothered to settle their parents estate. Leave the dissolution and management to lawyers and their paralegal staff. So sad. It really saddens me to see these historic old homes so neglected! I suppose the money is much better than memories. It completely burns me up to see senseless grafitti and destruction, not to mention the theft. This is a gorgeous home! So open and airy. Lots of glass, exquisite furniture and mirrors which just make it feel so welcoming and spacious. It could absolutely be restored. Again, all about the money. Can make more if it's sold to a developer. Makes me want to cry 😢 Sure wish I could be experiencing this in person. Thank you for documenting this home so beautifully❣

Just Listening To Leslie Within the First Few Minutes Proves Beyond ANY Shadow Of Doubt, Just How Truly Respectful You Guys Are Compared To MANY OTHER #UrbanExplorers! As History & Aesthetics Are Far MORE Meaningful Then Trinkets!

Так печально видеть заброшенные фото, вещи... а ведь кто-то их покупал, выбирал в магазине.... мы умираем а вещи остаются

Your energy and great enthusiasm in your narrative is great and very informative and you are very respectful I see these videos and they make you want to cry because you think whatever causes a family through death and physical disability not seeing how the financial problems are affecting their future and sell the house for allowances for their medical expenses and debts they had through bills housing expenses and taxes and whatever was left after house was sold after paying all property taxes and debts their 2sons could have split up any money left and kept all personal assets and possessions and pictures and awards anything of sentimental value to them and the rest they could have given to charity and homelessness families

I love the way people back in the day decorated their homes. Very little usually matched but their personalities showed so clearly in their decor. For example… the ding room… such a lovely room with the so formal chandelier the oriental China cabinet in ebony wood. The lighter colored credenza and the medium colored table. And I’m sure every piece had a story behind it. Such a lovely room

Lesley I absolutely adore your videos but always seem to miss most of your premieres !! Is there a set time on Sundays when they begin ? Anyway love your work ! Please keep it up my friend !!!!

Lesley it’s always fascinating when you tell the backstory on this 1960 Doctors mansion !

An amazing video ❤

Wow that was exciting what ur viewer shared, too. Stay safe, and may Our God continue to bless u ❤

At the end of the day if these properties are to be bulldozed inti a landfill, what harm is it to remove all or some of the valuable artefacts for others to enjoy.

This was a great exploration for sure. When you were talking about the money that they put into this place,the fact that it is left like this is really sad. I have a saying "you can't take it with you when you die". I whole handily agree that having experiences is better to do than putting so much into things. Live simple it is so much better. Well can't wait to see your next adventure. Yes I agree Leslie you do a great job in story telling.

Grazie per i sottotitoli in italiano 🤗

I agree! How could anyone leave they wedding album behind???? 😢thet breaks my heart! And it also makes me sad thet pouple whould steal from a abandoned house! I guess pouple don't Care about other people stuff!! I whould never steal anything from a abandoned house! Or places! 😢😢So sad!

The mansion looks really intriguing,such a pity the family pictures are left behind forever! Thank you for this nice episode!

I don't know if anyone else noticed this but... *** IN THE MINUTE <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="637">10:37</a> WHEN YOU SUDDENLY TURN THE CAMERA TOWARDS THE LADDERS, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE A WOMAN BLACK SHADOW WALKING UPSTAIRS THAT DISSAPPEARS ON CAMERA AFTER TWO STEPS UPWARDS, REALLY AMAZING!!! IT IS A COMPLETELY BLACK SHADOW SILLHOUETTE!!! *** *** IN THE MINUTE <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1986">33:06</a> WHEN YOU TURN THE CAMERA AWAY FROM THE FIREPLACE TABLE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE A LIGHT SHADOW OF A PERSON THAT CROSSES ON THE DOOR SIDE TOWARDS THE LEFT!!! AWESOME!!!! *** I love to see your videos so much, but this time... You really showed it off the best you could!! Really amazing!!! This time you captured more than the ambience of an abandoned house with history, you recorded live paranormal events withing the building that made this whole walkthrough incredibly mind-blowing!!!! pin my comment so everyone can see these two incredible moments and get goosebumps like I did! :D Take care and again, thanks so much for showing these amazing places so wonderfully!!

Che bell posti mostri,non capisco che abbandonano le casi 😔😔😔 Mi piace molto guardere tue video,e che spieghi tutto grazie mille Sei un bravo ragazzo 😊😊😊

i l❤ve leslie's whispering "wow "... 😊

Hello 👋 Watching here from L.A.! I love Lesley's videos. ❤️

Sem julgar, mas pra mim é inaceitável abandonar e deixar pra trás as memórias de uma família. Se eu tivesse de sair às pressas de minha casa, só levaria documentos e fotos, que formam a nossa história. Quantos móveis e objetos de valor poderiam ser vendidos e doados pra caridade. Incompreensível e Lamentável!😢

Soo Good Man..!!🙏🙏🙏

OMHns this place is so huge and grande . I could see the family emptying the hutches out for them to keep .Thank you so much for this EXPLORE leaves me kinda speechless. Down stairs seems like it was used for dinner and entertainment to there friends.:)I lost count on rooms :( Take care Buddy my friend .Barbara USA

You have more respect for this man than his family members do. People are searching genealogy and ancestry websites for information and all of this man’s accomplishments are sitting on shelves. It makes me want to cry. Based on the dates that would make his children my age. They probably had enough to deal with just getting mom into a nursing home. But to not have an estate sale or shred documents blows my mind. It’s also possible that as boomer’s they might also no longer be alive.

Un vero peccato vedere questa proprietà abbandonata, mi chiedo perché i figli nn abbiamo portato via i vari diplomi e altri oggetti di famiglia? Saluti dall'Italia 👏👏👏💙

I guess the kids were left plenty $ and had no use for the Memories of there Past..Hope all solid wood doors and wood trime can be salvaged. The beautiful wood funiture is an antique dealers dream.

fascinating the house tour. The color pictures📷 look so real as if it was yesterday... unbelievable the certificats🏅 and diplomas..all left behind ..where we will all go one day we can't take anything with us...

Я всегда смотрю ваш канал. Как вижу что выкладывали новое видео с удовольствием смотрю . Спасибо берегите себя . Будьте осторожны в заброшках.

Love that you are so respectful.

Eu amo tanto seus vídeos...🇧🇷🇧🇷

مرحبا ليزلي.. فيديو جديد رائع جداً شكرا لك على اصطحابنا في هذه الجولة الممتعه لاستكشاف هذا القصر الرائع.. تحياتي لك من العراق 🇮🇶

I can not believe a place like this was absolutely abandoned with everything still left inside. That is not normally done here in America. The parents of this callabor always have a Will and usually give the children an inheritance. So I don't understand why all that was left behind. I recognize those word stickers on the photos. The stickers were popular back in the mid to late 1980's. I used them on a lot of my photos. Those mirrors look like they are made of Venetian glass, and that is very very expensive. It's very possible they had a summer house or vacation house that you see pictures of the family in a different house.

Okay at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="638">10:38</a> on the record in as Lesley pans to the living room there is a figure walking by the stairs looks like he is wearing a housecoat then it just disappears.......😱😱😱😱😱😱

Parabéns pelos vários e lindos vídeos nos EUA. Esse em especial é maravilhoso😊.

Muito linda casa a historia dessa familia parabéns belo trabalho

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="475">7:55</a> if you pause it you can read the letter. It’s for filing for bankruptcy. I wonder if that’s why the children never came back to get much because the bank owns the house now. That could also explain why it’s in the demolish list.

Gracias por tu estilo para recorrer las casas con tanto respeto por las vidas ajenas. Eres muy bien educado ❤️ En ESTADOS UNIDOS las casas parecen de cartón! Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina .

Lesley, I think of what you do as a minister. You so lovingly present people’s homes but more importantly, people’s lives. With great respect and reverence you introduce and sustain wonderful presentations of the lives of people. You are loved Lesley in the afterlife. In this life too.

Very cool 😎👍 bringing one of your fans with you when you coming to the four corners of new Mexico i will go with you

To help you feel a little better about photographs left behind, particularly in recent times, family photographs on camera film are usually printed in multiple copies for family and friends. Those photos likely live on in the albums in the homes of family members. We now can easily make copies of older photos from grandparents albums and collections with out taking them from their original home.

Interesting video. The picture on the rotting piano in the basement was of George Washington. The first president of the United States. I'm impressed you even know that he was a president! Too bad you didn't pick up the black 8 ball in the basement. It was a fun fortune telling ball popular in the 50's and 60's. Ask it a question, then turn it over to see an answer. With a little research, I found this house and property. There was even a short drone fly-over video from 5 years ago. It's the property that is for sale for $3.2 million. The house is considered a tear down so the buyer can build their own "custom estate" house. It's probably cheaper to tear down than to do an extensive remodel. This area has very wealthy people. I also found a very short obituary for the doctor who died in 1999 at the age of 86. I just wonder why it's taken his descendants so long to sell the property. It's still owned by a Hertzberg or Hertzbergs.

Ciao Lesley Straordinaria esplorazione un vero peccato tutto questo patrimonio venga distrutto i mobili giapponesi sono bellissimi ..la chicca della taverna poi incredibile.. Adoro il tuo modo di commentare e la descrizione che fai e ti ringrazio per le traduzioni .. Sei un Grande 😊😊💪💪🍀🍀🍀💛💚💯❤️

Très belle vidéo, avec musique agréable et toujours des supers commentaires !👍😜♥️♥️♥️
