Thomas and Lorraine
After researching the history of this home, these are the possible speculations I've come up with.
In this episode, I will take you on a journey with me inside a beautiful and inspiring story about an elderly couple who built a legacy that will stand the test of time. Meet Thomas and Lorraine, a devoted husband and wife who have dedicated their lives to each other and created a loving and nurturing home for their children. Together, they worked tirelessly to provide for their family and instill strong values of love, hard work, and resilience.
They raised their children with endless love and support, nurturing them as they pursued their dreams and built successful lives. As the years went by, Thomas and Loraine celebrated their children's success milestones, finding joy in each new accomplishment. Recently, Thomas and Loraine left behind a rich legacy, including a loving family and a prosperous future for their children. Although they are no longer with us, their memories and values live on through the generations that follow. Now, their children are left responsible for carrying on their incredible legacy.
But we're not done just yet.
I found something out of the ordinary inside this home or, better yet, underneath its structure. It turns out there's an underground bunker inside the basement. But it was tricky to find. I had to go down the basement stairs around a hidden corner that led into the subbasement that led inside the bunker. But what was the family doing down here? My only thought was after finding out they stashed food and water away, they probably knew America was in for the next war or preparing for nuclear fallout. I found this situation so mysterious, But what I found even more mysterious was these little tackle boxes scattered throughout the house. But these weren't no ordinary metal boxes. These boxes were rigged with possible detonators, almost like a time bomb. But why? I thought it was so weird and random. And quite honestly, this is my first time witnessing something like this. My mind was as curious as ever, and I had to go deeper inside to explore the unknown. That's why I'm asking you, my subscribers, to come on this journey with me and to keep your ears and eyes wide open for any loopholes I may have missed. Who knows, maybe I've missed something lurking in the background that will help us all advance this story and unanswered questions.
So I guess we all want to know, since the kids moved out, what will happen to the house?
I later discovered that both sons wanted the house and land sold to a developer for 1,500,000.00. Until that day happens, the house will remain abandoned and decaying from the extent of time.

The only real oddity I see here is the fact that the children have not removed things from the house, locked the house up, or even made an attempt to sell the property. This is all very strange yes, but mostly it’s just very sad.

That wall phone in the kitchen did not turn that color…..it was that color originally. We have one that used to hang on the wall in our last house…..1983 to 1988 when we bought our present house that was built in 1912. The little calculator was called A Little Professor…..used either AA or AAA batteries. I think they were made by Texas Instruments.

It’s funny but somewhat obvious that you Ranger Rick are younger than me and raised in a time where technology was a bit more advanced than what I grew up in. We took picture with film camera then made slides that goes into a round carousel. You had to put them in upside down & we did family slide shows every one and awhile to reminisce. They obviously were CATHOLIC based on the pictures you showed of them in church. The older generation born in the 1920s/30s went through the whole Cold War era where nuclear missiles were pointed from Russia at many ground zeros across the USA. It was a big BIG concern & at any moment the button could be pushed ending civilization as we know it. Who knows but this family as to why the father/husband built a bomb shelter. Maybe he is ex military or knew something more than the rest of us.

From the man's obituary (I've left out last names and location): "Visitors will recall the many treasures and oddities on Lowell’s estate, including a steam engine, industrial chemistry set, and double basement. He installed a pipe organ for Martha in the living room of the passive solar house he designed and built himself in the 1970s, where he resided for over forty years. Lowell never wore jeans, always wore black leather army shoes, and smelled of dusty paper and oil. He believed that there was always a simpler and less conventional way to do anything, which worked to his benefit most of the time. He trusted all people and distrusted all organizations; spoke to anyone; and worked with dangerous things without ever coming to harm." The man died in 2020, and his wife passed in 2022. They had two sons and several grandchildren.

There is a guy really close to the water on the caloosahatchee river in Fort Myers Florida he is a master pianist.. they had him on the news a while back a church was going to be demolished and so he paid for their organ and set it up in his home well since the hurricane I know his house had to have been flooded totally but I haven't heard of anything but he just likes to play the piano music Centric some people are like that and I suppose if you have beloved to play piano and the money to afford something so great I say go for it

I've inherited my father's house, the house I grew up in. He saved everything but thankfully there are no explosive devices. I share an affection for photos and I've kept all the photos I've found, but the amount of photos can be overwhelming. I suspect the sons took the photos they really wanted and left the rest. (I have boxes of slides but I can't imagine spending hours assembling a slide show and watching them when there's already plenty of other photos that aren't as time consuming to look at.)

To have pictures of Sara Palin and President Bush he had to work with high profile people. Just curious. Anyway makes no sense to just let the house go to hell. Sell it, but at least take the sentimental items out of there. Was very sad to see.

The basement looks like nuclear war preparations. Growing up in the 60’s this was common. We even had nuclear defense school supplies of water, batteries, canned food etc. We had nuclear defense drills that included evacuation or stay in place. Very scary time. Starting to look a lot like the past. Anyone who lived through this time should recognize the dangers of today.

Watching this it makes me somewhat sad for children today have their own home filled with furniture and possessions that they have chosen to make it homey. My mother is 88 and still lives in a house that I grew up in from age 18 to my age now of 57. It’s chock full of things that me & my siblings just do not want or need. When parents die & move on to ‘the next place’, all their shit just rots away… and it’s somewhat sad if I must say.

My late father in law had some of the boxes and after he passed we had to get rid of all his old belongings. He waa an electrician from sixty's till he passed and worked at L&N railroad and then it went to CSX.

I'm going to take a guess and say as the parents got older, they got cluttery/hoarding, and stopped keeping up the house. Same with repairs. It appears that's a big house with a flar roof. Flat roofs are a pain in the a** to keep up. That deterioration was going on long before 2020.
