I love older homes with lots of little rooms, nooks and crannys
Its a shame something once loved and valued is no longer. What a gorgeous home❤
yes this was my house, my mother she was like 20 year old
I would have liked to see what that mansion looked like when it was new or back in the early years after it was first built .
Yes, what a sad end for such a majestic home.
Twenty five years ago I bought a run down Victorian house and saved it.
Good 4 U!!! Wish more people who can would!!!💜💜💜
Did it cost you alot to save it?
A beautiful Victorian home ❤ I've always loved Victorian houses. As a kid I would sit and draw Victorian homes. ❤
can't believe the electricity is on in an abandoned home
The reason why there Victorian houses have so much beautiful woodwork, the jigsaw was invented at the turn of the century.
When they put this place up for sale after the owner died, they put a lot of the stuff that had been piled on the porch inside the house. Older Google Maps photos show the front yard full of junk even a car up on blocks. I couldn't help but think that the original family would have been floored to see this beautiful home basically trashed. I really think that there's a mix of what the original family left in the house and what the new family must have brought in themselves.
Kind of looked like they were hoarders..
where is this house located?
The house was built with love, but after a certain time, it wasn't maintained due to lack of funds. Chimneys seem to get boarded up not only because of the installation of HVAC; but because often the chimneys crumble after so many years. They need to be repointed occasionally. Your roof is an extremely important part of your house. As soon as water gets in your house, you must rectify the situation ASAP. Whether it's flooding or rain. Roof leaks generally start as small and fixable! "No roof, no house" a roofer told me. If you buy any property, you will need to be prepared for all of life's surprises, good and bad. If you can afford to do so, get multiple inspectors. Seems like they find a lot more wrong; when they're not secretly aligned with the realtor, or the title company. You should really get a survey to make sure your property lines are accurate. It's expensive, but you should really know everything about the house before you sign. Even if you are buying a brand new home, everything should be checked! Home builders can be sloppy. Subcontractors can be worse. There is too much at stake, for you or anyone living in the home. Maintain all your house systems, just like your vehicle, on a maintenance schedule. Find a credit union or bank that has a home equity line of credit. The lowest % you can find. Build this credit line over time so that when you need a new roof, have to fix pipes, replace appliances, you have that line of credit available.
My theory for what it's worth: so many "dens" and king size beds tells me that there were multiple families living here. Each family had a living area and a sleeping area.
That’s exactly what I am thinking makes a lot of sense🤷🏽♀️
I've daydreamed about rescuing an abandoned house. This one would do very nicely.
Love to see old Victorian homes. Regarding the rooms on the first floor, one could have been a sitting room, a parlor, a conservatory, dining room, library, etc. Thanks for the tour!
Beautiful woodwork and antique furniture. I’ve often wondered what keeps ppl from going in and stealing all that stuff? Who pays the electric bill? If property taxes aren’t paid, and bank foreclosed, why wasn’t it put on market and sold? If it was paid for why would the family have left? Just questions I’ve always wondered about. Keeping this family in my prayers! God Bless them. Seeing this makes me want to cry for that poor family.
When a property is bank-owned - which in banking is called "REO" for 'real estate owned = had been foreclosed on - it definitely gets put up for sale, but properties in really bad condition such as this one sometimes sit on the bank's books for a long time because the house is in such bad shape, no one has the money to fix it up or thinks it's worth it to fix it up. Banks will sometimes keep the electricity on also, hoping that may be useful in getting the property sold & having put the utilities in their name. And the REO departments of some banks sometimes just don't follow up on the details of their properties & lose track of the details like the electricity being left on for years for no use anymore.
@@playhooky Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.🙏
It appears to me that the house could have been hit by a tornado and had no insurance and possibly injuries or death of the owners occurred thus the reason for abandonment and everything left as is. It’s a sad reality of life that these thing happen more than we realize. Too bad because it was once a beautiful and grand home.
@@nancynorton9119 True that! I never thought of that. I will pray for their souls in case that is what happened. I wondered why the back area and kitchen area were so torn up and rotten looking. God Bless!🙏
What a stunning home and an absolute shame it was left to deteriorate. So many treasures still left inside. I hate to see it fall to complete ruin.
The woodwork in the doorways 19:01 is called a spandrel. Beautiful millwork done in that home.
Love the opening with a Bible verse America really needs that now . 🇺🇸
Have you ever read the bible home boy lol
The world 😊
As per comment above you can tell it needs it Big time. God Bless!
Yes i see a lots of Bible reference or a touch of Christianity in every abandoned houses. Older generations were really religious we don't see that now in Western countries.
@@younglife4089 I know, and it’s really sad. So many ppl live for the world now instead of God. Especially the younger generation.
I just love those Victorian houses. Looks like the inside has been tossed for some reason. Many years ago a friend of mine and I discovered an abandoned home sort of like this one. We went inside, poked around. The closets were full of men's clothing; many 3-pc suits, most were herringbone, some were double breasted suits. Looks like something from the 1920's. I went upstairs and when I started to walk across the room, I felt the floor sag slightly so I immediately turned around and went back downstairs. We found an old ledger from a general store, the last entry was in 1861. We were very amused at the prices and how they kept the record of what was bought. I swear whoever wrote in that ledger had the most beautiful, exquisite handwriting I've ever seen. The ink was brown, perhaps it was originally blue but turned brown and the pages had yellowed but still in good shape. I felt a connect of some sort with whoever made the entries as I held that ledger. As we left, we discovered something odd, and that was a live rooster in a burlap bag in the back yard. Poor thing had been in the small sack so long that it could not extend it's legs to stand up. It never made a sound and we ended up just leaving it there, freed from that sack. Pretty cruel of someone to do that but we knew others had been to the house but didn't know when.
FYI the decorative woodwork and old mansions is called gingerbread. Have to respect the ornate woodwork. Great craftsmanship. Love your show!
I love that it’s a Victorian house. A bad storm probably hit this home. Beautiful Victorian Home and in the middle of a town. Someone needs to restore this home. It has good bones from 1800’s and somewhat still standing 💯👏🏾
My favorite part was the unusually shaped staircase, leading down to the front entryway. That made it both an interesting and pretty staircase.
Victorian homes. Where not painted primary colors. The. Paint job in that house is atrocious!!
Oh thank for saying what I was thinking. I was a painter for 40 years and painted my share of victorian homes and they were NEVER painted such hideous colors
So true, all Disgusting colors. Victorians are largely off-white & lots of beautiful wood
Vile.
At around the 7:00 mark we saw the record player. I am 60 years old and have that record player. It has a turntable and the rest is for tuning etc. The bottom holds the records. I also had the photo cube as a kid.
We. Had that one too. My hubby was always readjusting knobs. I didn’t mess with it he said was his so I left alone.
@@cherylvasquez5333 Sounds right! I have never touched the knobs and never will!
I’m 59 and we had a set of world Class Set of Books I use too use them all the time ❤
@@Koda19651 I loved those!
I’d love to buy that house,, old Victorians are full of history and charm ❤
Wow so sad such a beautiful house. Thank you Big Bangz. ❤
Thanks for the tour! I’ll be up all night dreaming about what I’d do with that house
I love it! ☺
Me too, I love the Victorian houses and all that beautiful, beautiful furniture
@@tamzcountrylife I dreamed about this house. No lie. I lived in a house very similar to this one years ago. The owners had divided it up into three separate apartments. My roommate’s and I had the top floor. Since we were in the top floor we had access to the attic. We explored it one day and found old trunks with clothes from the 1800’s. We found an old civil war uniform in there as well. I don’t think the owners had ever really explored up there. They came and got the trunks and I believe they turned them over to the local historical society. The house itself was on the register. It was also haunted. The ghost was a friendly ghost. We were never scared or spooked by it at all. It played tricks on us. The paranormal psychology class at the local college had done a reading on it at one time. They determined that it had a poltergeist spirit in it. Not like the movie obviously. I feel so bad for the family that had to abandon this house. I can only imagine the upkeep and maintenance it took. I bet it was already in bad shape when they bought it and they probably had dreams of renovating it and just weren’t prepared for the cost and the enormity of it all. The owners of the house I lived in told me that it was also falling down when they bought it. Several times they thought about giving up and just demolishing it instead but they didn’t. Someone could probably purchase this house for next to nothing and then spend a lot of money getting it back into shape. I hope that happens but I bet it will be torn down and some god awful structure built there.
At this point, you’d have to burn it down. It’s infuriating that this is allowed to happen. The city can get on you for high grass, but ignore this. Sickening!!
@@ImHome-yl4ur it is sickening. Nowadays it seems that people would rather tear down these old houses instead of preserving history. Can you imagine what will be considered “historical” 50 years from now? I know Bankz doesn’t always disclose the exact area of these homes, for obvious reasons. I don’t blame him. I am curious though if the historical society in this city has tried to preserve this house. It would take a lot of money to restore it, I’m sure. That makes me sad knowing that there’s no one that has the means to do so. It’s bad enough these people walked away and left their belongings. Imagine what we would’ve seen if all their possessions hadn’t been there? Preserving history is a dying breed.
That looks like eviction/forclosure. All the things left behind mid packing.
Exactly my thoughts. 👍
I'm thinking tornado damage then nature took over.
The facade and walkway leading up to the home is so charming.
Those old chairs are called “ wing chairs” & are more upper crust if you will, still common in more stately homes
Thank you for pointing that our😊
I love them!
This house wasn't frozen in time, it was undergoing decay as time moved on.
I had a Stack stereo like that! Its a Pioneer stereo.You pointed and you said there's other stereos in it also...lol I had to chuckle to myself.Man am I getting old! First in the stack of equipment underneath is a dual cassette player,Then a receiver,an equalizer,and a Tuner panel to find the station you wanted.Very cool back in the day 1982 is when I got mine for Christmas.
Please show/talk more of the architecture and not all the leftover junk and trash. Maybe a little more info on history on this home. The woodwork is called gingerbread on the outside. Fretwork on the inside. I wonder how u find these old homes.
Yes yes yes
Nice comment. Thank you fi the information! I was thinking the same thing would have liked more history on the place. All his places. It leaves you hanging with to many questions. Why even bring it to us?😂
I went on a tour of a mansion on a former cotton plantation in New Orleans. They told us it was a sign of wealth to have other colors of paint besides white , that's why they use a lot of different colors
This is a Victorian home but with 80's,90's furniture. Some are 1930s bedroom suites. I believe this is a 2 family duplex. Upstairs was a storm door in the hallway. I grew up in a Victorian home, and most walls are white. This family chose those outrageous colors. Its grandeur has been lost for years. It's a shame. Especially in the South. The folks can't take care of old homes, and the termites and nature take over.
A word for your architecture vocabulary is fretwork. The carved woodwork in the doorways would be called fretwork.
I love the respect that you show for these precious homes and to the families that lived here. God Bless
If I were homeless, I'd be looking for abandoned houses
The key word “abandoned” lol none of this squatting shit going on these days!! Fkn ridiculous!
That's what they do
I know I would. Specially the ones with Power & kitchen full of food not to mention clothing left behind. It's all left to rot, might as well help someone out
@@SolidBasedI don’t think you realize how prominent squatting is
The way rents are here in California, I’m about to start looking for abandoned places 😢
I cant believe they left all that beautiful furniture behind! Id love to have a lot of it!
Love that staircase. Unique shape
Yeah that staircase was epic. But can you imagine how incredible hard it would have been to carry a king size mattress up all those steps? With the curbs winding around it?!
This Victorian must have been such a beautiful home when it was new. Love the scroll woodwork above the doorways and the gingerbread woodwork trim on the outside. So sad to see what it has become. It's like you could almost feel the house cry.
I have watched many people show abonament houses but u are the best. I watch your videos all the time. Be blessed
It’s very sad to look at a couple that looks young that would lose everything. I’m a foreclosure they would still be able to take their personal things. It’s almost like the disappeared without a trace 😢
Mi concern exactly!! I believe that were ran off fi commercial development. 😢😢😢
Shocked, so much left. Surprise Historical Society does not step in to save this beauty. LOL, 26:13 to see you in action...
Sad, 2nd family owners couldnt maintain home-its like they just gave up
This place has had a lot of squatters! Owners don’t usually leave a place in this type of mess.
The squatter was probably in the attic or a dark bedroom. Did you notice on the second dark bedroom there was a circuit breaker that was ON? My two areas I always want to see are the attic and basement. Loved the stairs.
everytime im watching abnadoned houses or mansion i feel like that im connected to it ... ilove watching it ❤️💯
The back part of the house looks like an add on to the original house. The is a lot of water damage in the very back of the house. I also wonder if the people who owned the house rented rooms out to individuals. Could have been young men who played sports. In the back part of the house the ceilings are much lower than what we saw in the front part of the house. In the original part of the had very nice wood ceilings.
Love the staircase! And all the gingerbread! Absolutely beautiful.
I agree that multiple families possibly lived there. Would be great to dig deeper into the last people that lived there. How did they make a living? Does the bank own this property now? Alot of questions come to mind. I am surprised contents of house,I would think an estate sale wasn't done?
Yes! left us very confused! I almost unsubscribed.
Instead of the people’s left behind things I’d like to see the woodwork around doors & windows, wood ceilings in the 1st floor bedroom and closeups of fireplaces. Chandelier at the beginning is 90’s era
Yes yes yes
i wonder does anyone from the family sees these. id love to know why they had to leave everything so abruptly. awesome video
I just posted the same question 😊 Ir would be interesting to know their reaction from seeing their own home.
The only thing I can think of is 1 . Someone that paid the bills died. 2. They were evicted 3. It’s extremely haunted and they just got out as quickly as possible. 4. Something horrible happened there and they didn’t want to stay there or to be reminded by the items in the house. 5. They won the lottery and left all the stuff behind and bought everything new 😂
@@AllieTrott right! i wonder how they would feel randomly coming across this video
@TheWoowoo09 Yea, but I guess we are not allowed to ask that question unless I download another app that I would never use again. That is a great way to treat your subscribers. I feel so special now...NOT!
why doesn’t the Town step in and do something about this vacant house?
It's a shame they can't restore that house, I have such a deep love of Victorian houses, this makes me sad 😥
why can't they restore it? It would cost big bucks but it could still be restored, yes?
@@originaloldfashionedtarot of course it can be restored but you would to have very deep pockets
You need a carpenter during the life of a house that can duplicate and create custom pieces to keep the period as well as a hardware boneyard for the trim. Renovating is difficult, time consuming and expensive if the house is in too much disrepair and so out of code it's dangerous. Hard to get insurance as it is, this would be almost impossible. No ins=no mortgage.. Have watched several people buy and try to restore and ultimately give up.
I'd love to see someone buy this house and document the process to restore it
Yup. Sad to see it’s going decayed
100%
Would be interesting if you researched land records to determine who lived in house(s) & when. Easily enough done. Feels like some of the stuff in this house may not have been belongings of ppl in photos.
Or else it was all gimmick set up anyway!!😂
Sorry to hear about your son n -law. I pray for extra comfort for your daughter and her 6 children in the days, weeks, and moths ahead. 🙏
So many antiques in that house. Sad to see it sitting there and belongings just left behind.
Someone should call the guys who renovate Victorian houses on HGTV.
Thank you for the tour of this Victorian mansion. I love such houses, but it's a pity everything in it was left behind. The staircase stood out, though.
Carter, those are not a bunch of different stereos, heehee. That is one stereo with separate components like the turntable, the tape deck and/or cd player, the amplifier, the equalizer, et cetera. That's how our stereos used to look back in the day and they were cool as hell! Stereos with the most stacks of components were a source of pride and bragging rights! I miss my old stereo and giant speakers!! Wayyyy better sound than the crap everyone uses today! 😊😊😊
This house would have been beautiful back in the time the furniture is beautiful to but would take a lot money to keep this place on top shape Thank You for showing it to us who enjoyed it
Seeing the power on in a collapsing house is creepy… 😮
Great video! I think several families were living here! That would explain all the sofas, chairs & king-sized beds…..also, each room seems to have a different vibe. Maybe multi-family decor….
This home is beautiful but I’m sure it was something back in the day. Sad seeing a lot of there belongings still in the home. Have a great day.
Love the fretwork at base of the stairs and at the front door! I would love to see the fretwork unpainted though. The stairs are incredible also!
What a beautiful home! WHY did they leave the antique pieces? And so many of their belongings? Someone needs to save this place!!!
I wish I had the means to restore that place. While I'd love to know where it is, I appreciate that you didn't share that specific information. It would be tragic for people to go try to take stuff out of there....more tragic than the fact that the people had to leave everything. I just cannot imagine having to leave everything I own. The house was VERY cluttered and I wonder if they lived that way or just what was going on. We'll never know. All of the TVs and monitors were the big, clunky kind. I can't remember when those went out of style.
Hi BigBankz 🙋🏽. It's always good to see you.👋🏽. I'M glad you are not alone on this explore.👍🏽
👍👍👍🩵🩵💛💛❤️❤️ loved the video great to see you, keep up the good work GOD Bless You and Your Family Stay Safe and Well ❤️
Sad end for a once lovely home. We'll never know why they left in such a hurry.
Who's been paying the electric bill?!?! And how do these places get so messy?! That HAS to be from ransacking. I don't think the family was living in that clutter, all the dishes in the cabinets knocked over, etc. Just amazing. Can you take things out of these homes and salvage them? Or donate them? All those books and clothing? Do you find out who owns these properties before going in? In Oklahoma, as you may know, we have a sort of finders keepers law that let's you claim oroperty that is abandoned for a certain length of time.
I wonder why they decided to leave everything behind. It looks like they were in the middle of boxing up things and putting things in suitcases and just left before they did.
I love all your content! Although we found you only recently. Thankyou for scripture at the beginning...one never knows who heart needs to hear these... It always amazes me how places like this are left to the elements of westher and time......would love to have $$$ to restore them. Ghosts of the past..... 💜
That house is beautiful such a shame it's going to pot ...the upstairs was nice but not the colors for me .the wood work is fabulous.
I also love the stairs and the down stairs wow thank you for sharing with us take care till next time. 😊😊😊😊
Microwave is creepy….ghosts? At least there wasn’t a dead body in the fridge.
With that much stuff left behind , they left in a hurry and with fear .
Like it may have been haunted.
@@WildKraftyAotearoa that’s was what I was thinking too
OH WOW! You do not know true your words were today at the first of this video. My son-in-law died last night, suddenly. I guess he thought he would love forever because he left a wife and six kids. I love victorian's so I saw this within an hour of you posting this
I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences ❤.
❤️
So sorry for your loss
In Jesus name may there be peace by the Holy Spirit and hedge of protection around you all may the Lord give beauty for ashes and peace and wisdom where there is turmoil❤
I can't believe you were 15 minutes away from me and didn't come by to say hey! Love you anyway!♥️
Phone books have the years on them. Loved the tour
Why do people leave these homes and leave everything behind??? Why don't families come in and empty out the possessions? Or even the county? My guess, from the looks of this house, is that the residents were unexpectedly arrested and put in jail and that's why everything is left behind. Parents were probably too old to empty out the house and relatives probably either didn't have the keys or just didn't need anything in it, so it was all just abandoned.
The baby carriage is called a Pram
The carriage is also called a carriage. The word Pram is used mostly in England. They also use Pram for a stroller.
Awesome content ❤ 💯% Beautiful it's heart breaking to see it falling apart. They just left way too much stuff you know they had plenty of time to get more than that out of the home before it absolutely fell apart like it did it's strange how all that stuff was left behind. I just wished it could have been donated to somebody that needed it that could have used it very sad to see all that nice furniture and stuff just decaying away.
It's good to see another one of your tours, I feel there hasn't been so many lately. I haven't seen one of those steering wheel locks for quite a few years. People don't seem to use them here in Australia anymore. I would love to know the life history of this beautiful home . Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
The woodwork is gorgeous! It’s a shame the photos were left behind
It’s so beautiful I hope someone buys it and fixes it up before it falls apart it just needs tlc
Two guys already both it for 350,000. A renovated it as a project. Then resold it fi a profit.
Awsome explore that place must have been beautiful in it's day I bet maintenance is expensive for a place like that
What a beautiful frame that this Lord supper is in wow❤
People do not take care of anything nowadays. The upkeep on property is expensive. The cost of materials etc. In the 1960'sit was not as high to afford materials like now !!!!! Greed in the US. Kevin Phoenix ✝️ 😮😢
If walls could talk!
Facts! ☺
Haven’t seen any of your recent adventures. So happy to see this one!
At 7:04, that looks like a MCS stereo system. I have one just like it minus the speakers that a member of my family stole from me. I bought mine about 40 years ago. MCS stands for Modular Component System. The speakers were 200 watt and were almost the same size as the glass cabinet.
That just go to show you that you build to have a dream house and you leave it behind.
I think it’s crazy the baby buggy wasn’t stolen when newer .. in California that would of been gone years ago 😮
Beautiful home all jumbled up. Really loke your montage @ the end of filming. It pulls everything together. People redesign these old houses so u rnot sure what is what. Great job good info Much luv Carry on
This must have been beautiful in it's day. Thanks for the explore was very interesting.
This House reminds me of my Great Grandma's House when I was 7 years old in McKenzie Tennessee. Now I am 58.
The reason that all that stuff is left in that home is because the people skipped out on the house payment and couldn’t take all the big stuff. All they could take was what’s in the vehicles. They had two cars or two trucks no big ones didn’t want to attract any attention. They packed up very little and skipped out on the payment of the house, if you would check, the house would probably be costing more than what it was actually worth
Very well done! We can only imagine how the lives were while they lived there! Thank you!
It's to bad you couldn't get those sports metals back to them. I wonder if maybe the father died and the mom couldn't afford to get the home repaired. But this all feels so sad.
Beautiful place again such a shame it's left like this love your channel best wishes from Ireland ✨☘️
So good to see,and not.some things you bring us is so sad,but you can see history dieing before your eyes.love it bb big love❤
What kills me the most - more than the home itself wasting away, are the family photos! These are very precious & should be w/the family! Hopefully, they could find their way back to them someday! 😢
Western Marylander here! My father built houses to put himself through college in the 1940's! Dad was a former US Naval officer and scientist, He helped build the very first Atomic Reactors for Submarines/ Admiral Rickover's program! Dad used to say "You don't own a house! A house owns you! " Great advice dad! I NEVER owned property thank God! I think I was a Native American in a former life! To quote Chief Crazy Horse who defeated General George Custer at Little Big Horn! " How can you own the land that the people walk on?"
Power??? Room at 27:50 is the Parlor. Basically a living room. The power really has me stumped, though that makes no sense.
