Please don't ever be sorry when you can't cross a room or get upstairs- we don't ever want you to risk falling thru or falling down- your safety comes first! You are amazing at what you do and we appreciate you!

That was once a magnificent house! Even now in decay, her beauty shines. The intricacy and attention to details was not missed in this house. A very prominent family must have lived there.

I wish I had money, I'd buy this place and restore it in a heartbeat! The woodwork is incredible, those curved pocket doors are unique...they'll NEVER build something like this grand lady again. Thanks for the explore!

My late husband grew up in that town! We would always drive by when we visited. Last I heard it was being renovated in the early 2000’s. Such a shame it fell in to disrepair. I do remember something about a fire that did not destroy the house. Sad to see it like this. But thank you for finally letting me see the inside.

What a showpiece of a house! I can imagine her being someone’s absolute dreamhouse. Thank you, Kappy. I love this one, too.

Thanks Kappy. The craftsmanship in that house is amazing. So sad to see it just rot away.

I just saw this house yesterday. Lovely old home once...it was built in 1860 and was supposedly part of the underground railroad. I don't understand with a history like that how they could let it fall into ruin. You did a more thorough job of showing it, though. Thank you! 😊

Such a beauty!! LOVE the woodwork and pocket doors! The architecture is amazing!! Can you imagine how beautiful this was back in the day? Absolutely stunning! Odd though that I don’t see any fireplaces. I just figured all houses of that era had those. I’m sitting here still wishing I had tons of money to buy these homes and restore them. Lol! As always, stay safe Kappy and thanks so much for all the hard work. 😊

This house needs to be preserved. It's gorgeous! It's such a shame to let this beautiful house decay (as if it never existed). I wish I had millions to restore them all to their former glory. Good work, Kappy. Stay safe and keep up the videos for all of us who still care.

It's a beautiful house. Passed by it every school day. My music teacher owned the home, if I remember right the house passed down from the family. He was the last. It was abandoned for years. Then bought for a short time and abandoned again. There was a large beautiful ornate barn with beautiful details, sadly it was burned to the ground. Wish I had money to buy and restore.

The person doing all that stunning woodwork was a true artisan. What a labor of love and pride. We need to bring back that quality of work in trade schools.

What an incredible house! I don't think that I've ever seen a second empire house almost completely intact like that on the outside. It even had ALL the metal roof cresting still there! It's absolutely amazing. This is a house that would be worth the exorbitant cost to restore it. I was surprised though, that a house that grand didn't have a more magnificent staircase.

Just makes me sick that such a beautiful place is going to be gone forever. So sad!

That is one of the most beautiful houses you have shown us. Thank you Kappy

This house was a gem. It's sinful that it has been neglected like this. The condition of this house makes me want to scream. THere was so much beauty in it that is being destroyed by neglect. Shame on the people who allowed this place to get like this. Hank you Kappy for documenting it before it got any worse.

Except for the pink color that was an amazing house. I'm always blown away by your knowledge of construction features and materials. Thank you for all your work.

We have a beautiful old mansion, the Jacob Henry Mansion, in our town that a family bought and slowly renovated it. The website says 16,800 square feet consisting of over 40 rooms. They finally got it restored to the point where people can rent it out for an event or take group tours. I always wanted to see inside when I was in high school and I finally attended one of their Murder at the Mansion events. We arrived early and looked around. How beautiful it was. You could only go up to the 2nd floor since the 3rd floor wasn't renovated yet. Beautiful built in china cabinet in the kitchen, lots of hand carved black walnut throughout done by German craftsmen. The pocket doors were in working condition. I believe it was built for a railroad magnate. Fireplaces in almost every room. They later bought an old church that was right behind it, fixed it up and now you can have your wedding there, then rent the mansion for your reception. I'm glad it was able to be saved instead of decaying away. Unfortunately I couldn't pull up the photo gallery on their website. There's a very short video on You Tube by the Heritage Corridor Destinations if you would like to get a glimpse.

Yes it is incredible. It is a shame that it isn't being restored. It is worth saving!

What a tragedy! All that old world craftsmanship falling into ruin. Very few people today have the ability to create beautiful woodwork such as this. What a gorgeous bed and breakfast that would make fully restored and furnished. Thanks for the tour Kappy.

Hey Kappy! Wow! That place was incredible! So sad it is on its last days. So much of the wood doors, trim, etc should be saved. Glad you gave us a last look inside. Thanks for the explore. Stay safe! ✌️

What an incredibly beautiful home, could you imagine being the first owner and how much you would have fallen in love with it . Thank you so much Kappy , I just ❤ your videos.

Oh my goodness. This house is beyond elegant. That staircase is incredible. Roof looks original. A roof would have saved this house. Especially the flat portion. This house is now just a beautiful piece of art. Somebody did try, probably way over their head. I am not even sure when it was last lived in. Kitchen and Stove looked to be the newest things.

It almost looks as if someone had tried to do some work on this house and just gave up. So sad to see this noble house fall apart although someone is still keeping the grounds mowed. This one is another gem Kappy.

I'd love to see this house in it's hayday. I love watching old movies like the originals Cheaper by the Dozen or Meet me in St. Louis. Back in the 1800's and early 1900's these homes were so abundant - before the Federal Reserve took over our banking system. There are lots of them in the town I live in - all apartments now but expensive and kept up beautifully.

It is disappointing to see the heart of America dying within these old houses. They were built to last and make loving homes for families who made memories in them. The beautiful architecture is made by hard working minds and hands, simply put, it's not like today. It amazes me how these fall into such ill repair. Great video Kappy, appreciate your attention to detail.

What a fabulous 'elder lady' of a house. You're right... I cannot get over the STUNNING woodwork -- especially those arched pocket doors. This is a great example of a place that needs to be saved and restored.

It's a tragedy to have let that house die like that ! This house is amazing and I agree with you on the pocket doors WOW beautiful !! And what can I say about all the details from the exterior ? It's a shame ☹

This house is/was amazing to say the very least. The woodwork is absolutely beautiful, those pocket doors are the WOW factor. Arch way pocket doors and then the stairway too all the doors just needed a good cleaning and shine right back up. However, there is one small problem the roof fell in and created a serious mess in the middle on all the floors. Sad ending to this house. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

Kappy, I love watching your videos. You get excited about all the same things I see. The house can be crumbling with deterioration, but all you see are the same most beautiful things I see on the house. Love how you always point out door knobs, wainscoting, staircases, all the amazing details and craftsmanship of late 1800s and early 1900s homes that I find incredible. It kills me to see these beautiful homes abandoned and left to be taken over by nature. Good work finding all these amazing abandoned homes to show us.

Absolutely heartbreaking that such a stunning peice of historic art was left to rot! How could people let this happen?

Such a Beautiful home that they took the time to design, build & create into a work of art. So much hand crafted workmanship that shows the pride in their work. We don't see this now a days, with the tract homes they build pretty much on top of each other & you can hear your neighbors in their backyard conversations. They for the most part all look & are the same inside n out like they were built on an assembly line. Such a shame this home isn't appreciated for what it is & someone purchase it, restore it & keep this historical home...

What a magnificent house! So much surviving detail- the knobs, the keyholes and covers, the window latches, shutters, staircase decoration,... and those pocket doors! I just hate the thought of so beautiful a place as this rotting away. It would be expensive, of course, to restore- and difficult, but think what you would end up with! Somebody, please, just do it- you know you want to! Thanks for another awesome tour, Kappy!

Wow! This poor poor old girl has given her all. Nature is slowly taking it back. Really beautiful still though. You are right, the pocket doors were awesome. The whole place still has some charm. But then thinking about the size of the family who lived in it blows me away. If this place could talk.... Can't wait for the next one Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!

Love the door handles on the Pocket Doors

The in-laid doors with different types of wood is stunning. That must have been a boiler in the basement for the house not to have any chimneys. Lesson to home owners: When the roof is left to decay, soon the entire house follows suit. So sad.

One of the most interesting explorations of an abandoned mansion I have seen in a while! Thanks for documenting those treasures for everyone to see before they disappear forever!

I'm glad this spectacular house is getting attention. I just wish it could have been preserved. It deserved a lot more love, as it's clear it was certainly built with it. Gorgeous. It's hard not to get mad watching these sometimes, lol. But at least these houses are being documented and finally getting the attention they deserved a long time ago. Be safe.

I don't understand why somebody doesn't fix this house up and it's absolutely spectacular😊

All of that beautiful woodwork looks to be salvageable. Those doors are stunning. They're not made like this anymore.

These huge old houses with wood everywhere break my heart when they're left to decay. This one is so beautiful. Thanks for showing us before it was too late.

Oh my goodness.... you walked into a beautiful wood work!! I can just imagine sitting at the breakfast table in that first kitchen, looking at the pond with birds and deer. i just love those pocket doors. I've never seen a arch like that before. That woodworking on the stairs is just gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen any like that before. The old hardware still on the doors and shutters. And the bay windows are beautiful. It looks like they were starting to put another apartment on the third floor. Yeah, ALWAYS keep safe Kappy, we don't want you to fall through the floors trying to video things that aren't safe to do! We NEED your video's, lol!! I can't get my hubby to do this sort of thing with me, it doesn't interest him, so I rely on you and Ruby! I do so appreciate you doing for us who can't get out to do it!! That place must have been so grand when it was done. And the people who lived there felt like Royalty, lol!! Such a shame to let this house get this bad. Thank you for the tour, it was a beautiful find Kappy!! Peace, Kim ~

Dark Exploration posted this yesterday and whilst watching it I was thinking that I wish Kappy could see this, he'd love the ornate hardware, and my wish came true, here you are! Amazing house.

It makes my heart hurt to see all these wonderful structures just left to waste

I love woodwork that hasn't been ruined with paint! 😍 Thanks for the tour Kappy! 🤠👍

Why oh why doesn’t someone save this?! It’s stunning and honestly raises my blood pressure and could just cry that it’s being left to rot.

Beautiful house. I love all that wood, the doors the arches the window shutters. Such a shame no one saved this house.

Kappy, what a beautiful home she was and still is. LOVE the doors and accessories, those knobs and key covers! Oh I would so love to be able to restore this beautiful lady. Thank you. Stay safe.

Absolutely stunning, why on earth would someone abandon this gorgeous house, it’s just so sad that it’s decaying like it is.

A beautiful, beautiful house Kappy!!! Wouldn't it be nice if some of that woodwork could be repurposed for another home? Like those gorgeous arched doorways and matching doors. Absolutely spectacular! Please don't ever apologize for not accessing rooms/areas for video. Your safety is utmost and you already have my knees knocking sometimes when you do step into questionable areas. 😃 Thank you so much for taking the time to document these beautiful old treasures and sharing them with us!

I can just imagine hoe beautiful it was when it was first built. Lovely home

That home is so beautiful! ❤ it’s very sad to see it go to waste 😢

i love how excited you get !!! shows how much you appreciate these beautiful works of art! thanks for taking us along✌🏼🇺🇸

I was held captive in this house back in the early 70's...

Amazing old home and so beautiful. The woodwork is stunning inside and the outside is gorgeous. I bet it was stunning when it was first built!

Wow Kappy! I wonder if this house when it was built, had those new fangled radiators?!! Hard to tell after the remodel! Anyway, from what I can tell, that metal ladder was for roof access, as well as that sketchy wooden ladder nailed to the wall in the tower! This house has so many fancy features! Thanks for showing this beautiful house!

How can the city allow this to happen ?

My heart is pounding so hard in sorrow for the original owners. Can you imagine who they were and the life they lead to have this??? I have never seen such a magnificent home in this condition.

Of all the houses that you have shown us this old stunning house is the best the winner beautiful wood doors and the style outside the trim and the porch this house definitely should of been restored there are similar houses in Riverdale California that are still being lived in and there built in the 1800,s and are beautiful and some in Redlands California and I got to tour in one and oh it was awesome with everything original and antique furniture ,,sad this old house that you showing will eventually be torn down man I want to cry thank you kappy your such a cool guy

Beautiful

What a gorgeous home this once was .

The woodwork all over this house is stunningly gorgeous. It's real shame the house was allowed to get to this sad shape.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Pink Palace. Thank you.

I can't hold my tongue, Kappy. You said in the vid, you hoped we would understand. F*&k if someone doesn't understand. They are not risking their lives to show us something so stunning. You have good common sense, hun. Keep using it.

Somebody should salvage the doors that are still in good condition. It would be a shame to let such craftsmanship go down with the house. Will anyone build such a beautiful house again?

The artistry of those doors and stairs are amazing. It’s such a shame that it has just been left to rot.

Good morning ☕️ Kappy & Ruby, fellow audience 😊 This one looks like Mary Poppin's house,,wow have fun exploring 💕

Such a beautiful mansion. Wish that it had been loved and cared for through the years. She deserves better. You can't find houses like this anymore.

Strange, absolutely, no fireplaces? Stellar footage as usual! Plz don't risk your life or limb! 😊

A porch and a creek. So nice. Sad it’s in bad shape but thanks for the tour. ❤️

The outside of that house is absolutely magnificent as are the doors, wood panelling etc inside. Do you not have some kind of Preservation Society in the US who would bring this grand old lady back to life? Gill 🇬🇧

I am so glad to see what the inside of this looks like. My daughter sent me pictures of it a couple of years ago when she was in the upstate delivering furniture. She didn't want to go inside, because she was afraid there would be beavers in there from the beaver pond!😅

This home took my breath away. Absolutely gorgeous woodwork and those door handles are absolutely amazing. Its unbelievable someone could just let it get like that.

I am also interested not only in the lack of fireplaces (I agree…weird in an upper class home of that time…) but the narrow staircases. Depending on age of the women, wouldn’t hoop skirts have been in vogue? If so, houses of that era needed wider main staircases. Servant staircases would be narrow though.

Well this is a sad one. The fact that they let an amazing piece of history get this far gone is to cry for😢... Just picture this house in it's prime... Wow would have been breathtaking... Those pocket doors 😮... Wow

Spectacular house - I love the different kinds of wood used on the doors; the detail is exceptional. What a crime that this has been allowed to decay to such an awful extent.

Another great beauty, Kappy. The details on and in this house are truly amazing! Thank you, great job as always.

Yes again, no need to be sorry for not opening an access or crossing those rotten floors Kappy! We like you to keep all your limbs.❤👍

What a beauty !! Thanks for bringing us along. Great job,as usual.

Another great find!!! Thanks Kappy!! The craftsmanship in some of these old places just never ceases to amaze me!

How could anyone just walk away from a home this magnificent?

SO beautiful. So sad. Love all of the original wood and door knobs. . Don't see that very often. Really great video. Thank you for sharing. Take care and God Bless. ❤

Beautiful house with so much to offer. Thanks for sharing all of the details and beauty. I have a love for old homes, and you have allowed this old lady to visit so many!

Omg I know where this house is ! We go by it on our way downstate to see family…This is so heartbreaking, I can only imagine how stunning this house must of been before all the decay. Those pocket doors and all the woodwork is just amazing….so sad to see it just literally rotting away.

Wow Kappy!! This is on my top five favorites. Just gorgeous. The amazing hardware and pocked doors are just a few of the most incredibly gorgeous things about it. thank you so much. 😍😍😍

Thank you for filming! Saw someone else film this house and keep thinking wish you would because you do such a good job! I also love the doorknobs and the sinks in these old houses. Thanks again I love watching your videos stay safe 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these magnificent places with us ❤ I absolutely love them all.

I love the wood details in this old home, beautifully designed wish it could have been saved years ago. Thanks for sharing this one. It's my favorite.

So heartbreaking that beautiful place will wither away! Thanks for the tour, Kappy!

When the roof leaks, she's on borrowed time...

The person who built that house really loved it you can tell by the craftsmanship put into it thanks Kappy

I know I have said this before but your passion and excitement is so awesome! Keep up the good work. Love the videos!

It's amazing to me why it has been left. The woodwork alone is worth saving. The house is just so beautiful.

I love these old abandoned homes you explore and i love this amazing home.

You’re the best urbex KZfaqr! ❤

What a Gem of a House...big old-school bedrooms... windows brought in so much natural light...just awesome..Great Video

What a beautiful find. The craftsmanship is amazing. Homes nowadays are not made like the ones back in those days. It's so sad to see this gorgeous mansion with all that woodwork in it, decaying along with everything else...see you on your next adventure! 👍🏼

The woodwork in that house was amazing. Beautiful. I have always loved those old 2nd empire Victorians. I wonder if someone put the bucket there to catch the drip and then just left it and never came back. Nice explore Kappy, love the videos. Stay safe out there and keep on exploring.

Oh, thank goodness you documented this one!! I saw it on another channel and thought that this would be perfect for you!! You showed this beautiful old lady the respect and admiration she deserved. Too bad that she's in such poor shape....

Gorgeous old pink lady. Sadly left in ruins. So much can and should be salvaged. Thank you for sharing this beautiful old place.

So incredibly sad. Such craftsmanship, detail. All that is lost now with the plain jane thrown together houses now. Thank you for exploring and sharing. Most of all THANK YOU for appreciating the beauty of this old house!
