Wow another great video Robb,the misspelling is ok :-)

the house belonged to Chatman Root,they owned Root glass company and produced the coke bottles, Chatman was involved in sprint car and indy car racing and had several well known drivers,in the 1960s he moved to atlanta Georgia and managed his Coca-Cola enterprise from there,he passed away in the 1980s.

Owned a glass co. That explains all the panes used on this property in the greenhouse, over the pool, etc. Interesting.

Why do people have to be so destructive? Why can't they just see the beauty in these places and leave the way they found it? Angers me.

I have been looking for images of this place in its before days, unable to find but a few of the outside. It hurts me to see such amazing places left to decay, and be vandalized. It would cost millions to restore this one now.

It looks like, even though the place was put up in the twenties, something didn’t go well for that family by the early 80’s.

I'm from this town and grew up past this place. It's set far back from the road but you can see the green house roof. It's located very near swamps and a beautiful lake in Louisiana. As a child, my imagination ran wild when we drove by the house.

RnK is just cranking them vlogs out 👊 3 in row, I love it. This one was pretty cool. Great editing. I could only imagine how beautiful this place was back then, but there is a sense of sadness throughout.

This place is dope brotha!! Would have loved to have seen it in its Glory. thanks for taking us along my friend, stay safe out there

I would love to see this mansion in its original setting..

Omg that pool & patio area is the best yet! Love it and thanks for another awesome explore Rob!

Raymond Loewy designed the Coke bottle. His home is still occupied. He was a famous and remarkable industrial designer of many recognizable things, including trains, cars, airplanes, cigarette boxes, and on and on. LOVE your work! I find your videos frequently sad and depressing, but you are such an excellent host that I watch them constantly. Thank you for what you do!

That pool would have been so beautiful in its time the outside fire place was a find also. Thanks for sharing.

@Bob McCabe Right!!!🤦‍♀️

It REALLY does have some inque features! ....the walkway balcony ....cool basement with columns and arches ....wonderful tile work. Neat greenhouses and garden building! Great explore! TY!

Raymond Lowey, I believe, is often credited with the design of the Coke bottle, but I think I read that he actually refined a previous design that remains to this day. An industrial designer, he was quite the renaissance man, and this house would have fit him to a tee; old photos show expensive suits and silk ascots! Also designed a famous airline logo, can't remember which one, as well as the gorgeous 1963 Studebaker Avanti, a car which was so far ahead of it's time for the period. A lot of retrofitting (dropped ceiling in the kitchen, new and cheap cabinets in that small kitchen that covered the arched alcove built into the old wall), such a shame that people back then couldn't recognize artistry when they saw it. Looked like a foundation by the outdoor kitchen area, wonder what was there? I love your stuff! Look forward to each episode. I really wonder which Coca-Cola man it actually was...

@debrasue5986

No, actually the bottle designs is one of the few things Lowey didn’t design for Coca Cola. The bottle was designed by the Root Glass Company. This mansion is called Rocky Edge and is in Indiana. This is the owner of Root Glass Company’s home. Chapman Root.

Thanks, Debra Sue, you're much more knowledgeable than I am obviously, so the Lowey Coke bottle thing is totally untrue, as I understood that he refined an existing design and sort of smoothed it out a bit? Seems the curves of the early 1900's bottle were much sharper and more exaggerated. Neither here nor there. Wonder why that beautiful house was ever left to rot...

@debrasue5986

Paul, I’m certainly not as knowledgeable as you on Raymond Lowey. The only reason I know about this home is because one of my sons did a paper on famous peoples homes in Indiana and this was one of them. I had no knowledge of Raymond Lowey until I read your comment. Thanks so much for sharing!! I looked into him a little bit after I read your comment. He was definitely an interesting and creative man! And you’re correct, in that he refined the original design. So essentially, both men designed the Coca Cola bottles 👍🏼😊

@@hotrodpop1973 Yes, just a few days ago, another KZread video attributed the invention of the Coke bottle to Raymond Loewy, but I just Googled it, and though several sites still attribute the bottle design to him, the site, "Coke and the Legacy of Raymond Loewy," says not. He _was_ part of the team that designed the larger bottles (the original contour bottle held only six or seven ounces). The site is fascinating: you see his design for everything from Coke coolers and dispensers to the special Coca-Cola delivery trucks. Debra Sue is right. Thanks Debra Sue!

Wow that place was trashed ! THAT GREEN HOUSE WAS SO 😎 that outdoor bbq area was AWESOME !!!! THAT FREAKING PPPOOOLLL ONE OF A KIND !!! Home run all the way great job and all this on week night I love it ! That made my week great job. Excellent work !

Mannn, i can only imagine what it looked like before it got wrecked! That’s a really beautiful place 👍🏼😍

Oh yes, another great video. I love how you pick sites that have a historical background and then you explain it further. This style is called "Arts and Crafts" (1880-early 1920s, starting in Great Britain, spreading to Japan in the 1920's) and a fine example despite the place being trashed (which is a shame). Another awesome job! Would love to rehab and save that place it must have been gorgeous in its hayday. Keep them coming.!!!!xox

I was curious if u could find pictures of the mansion before it's decay .?????thank u for sharing this awesome video .awesome mansion.🎩

Thanks for sharing. Also thanks for not vandulizing. Amazing find.

Using my bfs account since I lost my phone. Love your videos. Its to bad it jist laid abandoned like this it has some really nice interior. Really cool find though. Keep up the great work. Loved the greenhouse one of my favorite parts

What a great find! That would have been such a beautiful place to live! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely tragic that people would destroy these abandoned mansions and homes with graffiti and other malicious intents. 😢

Thoroughly enjoyed, as always! It would have been a treat to see it in it's heyday! Thanks for an awesome explore Robb!

How cool, fascinating to see the crib of the dude who thought up such a iconic bottle design that's recognised all over the world. Somewhat amazing that it has been left to decay and isn't some form of national treasure. 😏💯👍🏼

Good filming of this video thanks for sharing all of us viewers really love them.

I try to picture this mansion how it looked back during the 1920 era. The elevator, outside walkaround balcony, the outdoor cooking grill and the pool had me sold. You can tell this was once a very nice looking pretty cool awesome mansion back then. I love the design and architectural style and layout.

Awesome explore loved the 1920s vibe and the history of the maker of the coke bottle. Love and peace

A HUGE Thank you for sharing this Great explore of an iconic piece of history; The Rocky Edge Estate established in 1920 by Chapman J. Root, famous inventor of the green Coca-Cola bottle. This is an authentic piece of American history that I hope is preserved. The first Coca-Cola bottle, a world-famous trademark was created in 1915 at Root Glass Company, by Chapman J. Root, T. Clyde Edwards, Earl R. Dean, and Alexander Samuelson. Bottle design selected in a national competition. RNK what a GREAT explore even thru the destruction it's beauty still can been seen.☮✌

Great explore! This place was so interesting as you went along I forgot to be distracted by the graffiti! I love how the brick staircase went right down into the pool! Very different and elegant!

love all the windows. that elevator is really neat. the tiles in the green house were really nice to see. Oh my goodness that outdoor fireplace is fantastic. May have been their summer kitchen. This place is really neat and I enjoyed you bringing me along to see it. loved it. loG (lean on GOD)

Really enjoyed this explore.. good stuff Rob 👌🏻😊

Cool history...Could be a nice unique home

Omg! The green house and pool! Wow!

What a unique property. Would have loved to have seen it in its hey day. The pool area and the outdoor kitchen/entertainment area are the bomb. Wraparound balcony is really cool too. I didn't know bottle design could pay so well.

Do you ever get nervous about squatters in these places? Do you take anything to protect yourself? I went to Joyland Amusement Park Kansas-and it’s hard to not be afraid of finding someone at every turn. (I remember when you came here and explored it!) Makes it hard to enjoy the beauty of the abandoned when you feel nervous about safety. 😬😩

This place is in Allendale, Indiana and is called "Rocky Edge". A weekend retreat of Chapman Root whose company designed the original curved body coke bottle. Interesting that HE gets the credit (as usually happens) when in reality he didn't have much to do with the design. The man who actually sketched the bottle design and produced the first prototypes was named Earl Dean, a staff machinist at Root Glass. Wonder if he made enough money to build a mansion? Somehow I doubt it. Still, this place is way cool. According to records the Root family sold thi property in the 1960s. From what I can find it may have been sitting empty for only about a decade. Last year the owners were going through a divorce and a judge ordered it sold.

That's so so strange the coca cola mansion and that's rare that is there to see because I am a big coca cola fanatic here

I like how you explain things. You show the beauty behind the graffiti. Thank you

The artwork on the fireplace area of the deer is amazing and in excellent shape! Someone really should save that! That painting is thee most valuable thing I noticed. Period!

It's sad to see a beautiful home like this go to ruin. I wonder why it was just abandoned?

Wow, what an fantastic find!!! The Greenhouses and the pool are my favorite parts. Absolutely incredible.

Excellently done video! Filming was done so that we can see things well! I appreciate you not rushing, as well as speaking clearly so you are understandable!! Good job!!

It was very hard to watch this video because of all the vandalism of such a nice place.

Loved this video!!! Such a BEAUTIFUL home and property! They don’t build them like that now. If that was brought back to life, I would call that a REGAL Mansion/Property because of all the detail and craftsmanship. I just can’t get over the destruction that people have done there. If I only had the money, I would def bring that house back. Probably would take years and the contractors would probably say to me that it would be cheaper to bulldoze it than renovate/remodel it but like I said, you can’t find new homes like that anymore. Just ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

It amazes me how long these places have been left to rot such a shame because the house has a bit of history to it.

That place has a Magic Look with the trees around the pool

Wow this is a awesome video!! Sad that this mansion is abandoned! I love Coca Cola! Agree on the basement coolest basement I have seen and my mom would love the greenhouse!

Great explore, would love to have seen it in a functional form, bet it was incredible! Thanks for the video, one of your best ones.

Thats a Pressure washer at the end a real nice one!

that was for sure the most best looking abandoned house yet

What a really cool place, if only someone with the funds would step up and restore this beautiful estate. Great work, really enjoy all your videos!

Beautiful old home with some incredible features, but I didn't like the kitchen remodel. The cabinets are identical to my parents' home that was remodeled in the late '60's. I love the old refrigerator at 9:50! The outdoor kitchen was very cool! The swimming pool area was amazing! The whole house was amazing! I would really love to see photos of it when it was occupied. It's very sad that it's just sitting decaying and being destroyed. Considering it's historic significance, I wish it could be turned into a museum or some other type of attraction. Excellent find and as always excellent video presentation!

Very cool house. Would love to have seen it back in the day!

If I was a billionaire I so would buy that house strip down to it's skeleton and rebuild it. I would definitely modernize it a little but not much. Very cool find.

Hi guys you both have been very busy you need time for yourselves you know ! Love the swimming pool it would have looked amazing when it was first constructed , and their barbecue, and they could , to sit eat drink and chat or party what a clam life style long gone as they are !

Seriously, there should be like a certain level of creativity required for vandals.

SUPER cool place!..wow.I'm gonna have to do some searching for some pics of this place in it's heyday. Must've been such a killer place to chill.

if it's really form the 1920s it´s almos 100 years old!! the kitchen and most of the rooms seem to have more recent furniture (70s I think) but the pool and the green house are 1920s all the way!!! great video.

Loooove the inside & out decor. 😍 Vandals ugh! I couldn't resist reading graffiti 😖 Love the mansion. I dont drink Coke much anymore. Be safe & stay cool! 💖😊🙌✌🖖💖
