If I knew where that 1st one was, I’d make a serious inquiry into purchasing it. I can imagine living in a motorhome and just slowly restoring room by room. Just gorgeous.
I totally agree! It’s not too far gone yet! That house was obviously built good— and a whole lot better than a new house today!! I imagine it was a carpenters house, I mean with all the extra craftsmanship and TLC that went into building it. I would have loved to have seen it back in its prime. Crazy that the roof has not leaked and the floors haven’t rotted. I didn’t even see no broken windows or bugs, spider webs or critters !! It’s hard to imagine whoever this house got handed down to through the years eventually did not want it. Gee I would move in it now “ as is” lol. Seriously though, who wouldn’t have wanted it?
Absolutely agreed beautiful id love to own n restore this house
Far from wealthy but I’d be poor for this house. I’d eat ramen for a year for this house. So sad its not refurbished.
You should, I just made the comment that if I was a wealthy woman watching this right now I would try to find out where it was in a heartbeat I watch a lot of these channels on YouTube but this house is one of my favorites
It looks like someone at sometime thought about bringing this house back. Hope they will. It’s incredible.
@Shawn McPeak Probably old growth heart pine. Pine that’s nearly as hard as oak. You can’t get new lumber like that now because all the old growth trees are gone.
@UNDERRATED BEAUTY Yep, somebody must have taken care of the roof and the windows. It’s an incredible place.
I agree, for this house to be this old. It’s in amazing condition.
I agree the floors are in fantastic shape for the age. I’ll bet they are an inch thick.
SO REFRESHING TO HEAR SOMEONE WALKING THROUGH A OLD HOUSE AND ACTUALLY GIVING OUT DETAILS AND CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT IT. YOU SEEM TO BE VERY YOUNG BUT I SENSE YOUR LOVE FOR OLD HOUSES IS TRULY GENUINE! THANKS FOR THE TOUR! ???
How do you know his information is correct? Have you done your own research to back it up?
H .ill m
All I can say is WHY!?!?!?!? When I see these fabulous places that have gone to waste! Why can’t people just go buy these propertys somehow!? What a fricken bummer!
@4Leaf Toy Review some counties have historical associations that preserve old homes of significant historical value. Most just sit in disrepair until they are torn down.
Does America have a alternative to the National Trust and English heritage which take care of historical and important buildings and sites in England?
@Sherry Reese bad history? Elaborate.
Some people realize the bad history of these old homes and don’t want to have anything to do with them.
@Andre EWERT My friend was a teacher. Which pays poorly. However, she had the fortitude to take in borders to pay for some of the reconstruction–for many years. She naturally didn’t eat much, so there was another savings for her. She fancied herself as Scarlett O’Hara, lol! She had to save “Tara”, no matter the cost or sacrifice. I don’t have that kind of discipline!
“My grandma had one of these when I was a little kid”. Well, so did I – when I was an adult! You little whipper snapper
@Robin Saxophone Then you replied, “Would you get my friend, Mary T. Lincoln, please?”
My parents had one when I was a kid. It was still in use until they passed in 16.
Coffee Holic maybe someone who snaps a whip? ??♀️
They still work. You dust dial 9-1-1
When I was a little kid, we had the kind you crank a handle and an operator came on and said “number please.”
The house is old, but has obviously undergone some good measure of renovation work…it’s in pretty good condition and the bathroom fixtures are from more recent times..
Yeah….I’m fairly certain the 1800’s didnt offer much indoor plumbing or running water ….probably would have been evidence of an outhouse somewhere also.
Looks like this home could be saved. Above the second fireplace, did anyone see a face? The stairs were built using wooden pegs; very cool!
Ahhhhh! I just read your comment after I left a long one about what I saw! I thought I was going crazy! Please read my ( long) comment on here! I think you may be able to help me! I need your help bad bad bad!!! ? thanks
Couldnt unsee it lol
I saw faces all over !

Has almost everything a homeless person would need…down to mattresses. So many abandoned buildings and homes in this country, that no one should ever be without a roof over their head.
The Terrace Banquet Hall exactly.. I’ve only seen homeless ppl destroy these places
@MrScottie68 put a chicken farm on the land and make everyone work it
@Lloyd Billings ppl are getting unemployment who didnt even work, ppl put themselves in their own predicament no matter how u slice it, if they are uneducated, and have to take what they can get, they brought it on themselves. The government is taking care of ppl that dont deserve it, and the ones who worked for years only get taxed even more.
@Debbie Joseph Come on everybody’s not in the same boat & people will becoming homeless for no reason of their own very shortly because they’re unemployment benefits running out & not because of drugs and alcohol or education or anything else !!!
Completely agree with you 110%
The flemish bond brickwork and the 9 over 9 windows & those double shouldered chimneys all give it away for age. Great find!!! If you look at 51 seconds you can see the freeze under the soffit that dental molding you can see where it stopped and was added onto later, the foyer and left rooms up and down were original which is a common NC – VA & SC style in colonial days not sure where it was. And at some point probably not long after being built the rooms up and down to the right were built making it symmetrical but not long after being built original as it is all colonial. HL hinges raised wood panels. Wow and those rim locks of brass. Such a good find. I was truly amazed that woodwork, doors, latches, trim and doors and mantels were not stolen. Those were indeed gorgeous. And those wide pine heart of virgin pine floors. And I agree those rim locks of brass and escushen dust key hole covers were reproductions.
And Tryon Hall was awesome I have been there also on Ashley RIver. It is said that was the most grand mahogany stair case in all of the colonies when built.
Thanks for sharing Kappy!!!!!
You sir are obviously a brilliant man. Are you a carpenter? My question to you is this:: let’s say a person would like to build a total, complete, remake of this house. Do you think if a copy of this house was built today, in this day and age, do you believe it would be built as good and would hold up hundreds of years later like this one did? It seems to me like everything these days is built to be disposable, even cars. Seems like nothing last like it use to. From even small stuff like, let’s say,a pair of gloves, to something bigger like a washer or dyer or tv, to something even bigger like a vehicle or house. Even most furniture is made from pressed wood chips or sawdust instead of good solid wood. I was just curious – you seem like you know what you are talking about. Also if it was possible to build an exact copy of the house, what do you think it would cost in today’s prices? Just curious in your opinion
@Loreley 8y
Jeremiah The Watchman is it possible to fix up that house?
@Tanya De Beer separate kitchen outside originally
Where did they cook?
GORGEOUS! That first house is beautiful and restorable! Wish someone would restore it. The flooring, the detail in the woodwork, the fireplaces! Wow! My new favorite. Great find Kappy! ?
That is the core of my dream house!
100% agreed! Thank you very much for watching!
Absolutely love this house. What a beauty. I hope someone saves it.
My biggest problem with those rotary phones is, sometimes dialing the number took longer than the call itself. ?
Indeed the presence of the rotary phone attests to the length of time this place has been abandoned, although many houses did keep rotary phones long after touch tone became the only available telephonic instrument one could buy. Heck, those old phones were atomic bomb proof…
? made my day
@Anthropology Bear yep i had that happen years ago
I had a red one i liked that ?should have taken it when i left noone wanted anymore all mobiles but it wouldn’t have been used anymore i love this house very sad to see something like this sitting unloved n unoccupied peeling paint woeful someone doesn’t fix it up especially if it could b bought for just the back taxes does it not have a kitchen?
@Laurel Bozman – Amen! ! !
Beautiful, Amazing Find Another Treasure,only if the walls could talk
Just imagine the many generations who called this place home. Many happy memories, for sure, and lots of history.
How is this kind of find still possible? If walls could truly talk.
Hi Kappy. That’s a seriously cool house. It’s in surprisingly good shape for an Abandoned home. 250 years old?
It looks like it was steadily modernized, with the addition of a bathroom and wiring for electricity. I’d like to see this beautiful old house totally restored. I LOVE getting to look over your shoulder while you explore. It’s the next best thing to getting to explore it myself!
That first place is really cool! I sure hope is gets fixed up before it all goes to hell. It could be an awesome home. Was the kitchen torn out?
That gambrel roof on the first house was very unique. Weird that it had plumbing and electric but no kitchen. These old houses always look so much bigger from the outside. Was there a chimney fire? Sometimes they will pull the chimney down like that. The second house was in surprisingly decent shape. Terrific finds. Thanks for sharing. ?
There was a basement it had windows I think the kitchen was down there
What a gorgeous house. So much attention to detail. I was in awe when you first walked in. This house really needs to be preserved. Does the house have a kitchen though? Maybe an outdoor kitchen that no longer exists. Interesting second house too. ?
@Urban Exploring With Kappy Was that the spot under the stairs when you first walk in? It definitely seems like someone was going to try to make it liveable and just gave up.
Oldenweery exactly if you look at the basement access they had removed the stairs and put boards over the access, you can see in the video, I wasn’t about to jump down and not have any way back up I’m sorry! Thanks for watching!
@Oldenweery Good comment thank you
@Julia Anne Grider I wondered why he didn’t venture down there, too, though I didn’t really see a staircase. In those times, kitchens were often in the basement, with the cooking down in a huge fireplace. You did note that the chimney was missing on the right end of the house when seen from the front? It’s another thing to wonder about. It’s really surprising that a structure that size had only five rooms and bath. Stay safe.
JulieLivinLife I wondering about a kitchen too!
Beautiful! It always amazes me how these places were built in a time when they barely had tools.
@NOLAgame OK, kind of what I meant I guess, and in a way they were probably better than ours.
They had all the tools we had back in the 1700’s, they just weren’t powered by anything but human power.
Lol. Yea, makes ya wonder how the pyramids in egypt got built thousands of years ago .
They had a lot of tools they were just handmade and took elbow grease to use lol
