I wanted to, but had a bad feeling.

Did it twist anyone else's heart to see the pots of flowers still blooming? Keep thinking no matter what condition the house was in, someone was trying to make it a home. I get the impression someone was killed there hence the sacred place alter. Perhaps the city came in and forced the properties shuttered or condemned in order to get rid of high crime situation? Either way it's curious. Next time go over and ask the cops, they are good sources of info. Thanks. Loved this video.

Wow they’re huge! They remind me of houses I’d seen in Maine. I always wanted to go in a house like that just to check it out. Can you imagine the memories and history these buildings have seen? I’ve been in a couple of smaller houses like these and they were so neat! I bet these must have been quite nice in their day.

Good judgment 😊

safety is always first!! now days people are so unpredictable! i love the rails and post details it adds so much to the appearance

At Least that have containers for soda cans instead of just throwing them wherever. Yes JP you have to be causious which I am glad you are. You are a common sense man. Its strange that so many houses in roll abanded. I am a senior and I would not want to live in those houses. Homeless folks that's a different story. Yes the houses were beautiful back in the days when they were cared for. To repair them would cost too much money. Great find JP

You’re safety comes first!! Very nice video!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

Love those old porches!

Deb from Idaho~~~~Your streets are so beautiful in the East, with your huge trees and beautiful homes. So sad to see decay come to these beautiful old homes.

I lived in the 2nd house around 1998/1999 when in college. 1st floor was the real estate office of the company who owned that building and others. 2nd floor had 2 apartments but not sure of the rest. It was a well maintained place back then.

As someone who has been in construction most of his life I always appreciated architecture thanks for sharing this and doing what you do

That sign that said Mohawk Nation might have something to do with my high school I graduated from on Cary Ave Meyers Mohawks.

wow! they were big beautiful houses i'm thinking it would take a long time for those vines to take over the whole side of the house it did look cool though

I was working right near there a year or so back. I was told they were frat houses and had too many complaints/ code violations. I was asking because I love to rework those old 100+ year old houses. The corner one was the one I was looking at. Good Luck to whoever takes them on.

As always very interesting video, safety first and anything to not get yourself into trouble with the law. Your videos of abandoned places are NEVER a disappointment at all. Sad that there's so many homeless people now-a-days that have to live in unsafe places.

Hi J.P. its a shame these houses have been abandoned .. i think it makes the rest of the street an eye sore if only someone with money could buy them and refurbish them they are going to waste really. there are plenty of homeless out there so why not make it official to let the homeless use them for shelter to keep them safe and warmer. I am glad you didnt enter any of them J.P. your safety is paramount ..

Peace!!

The flag you saw is six nations on top of the market sign or Iroquois nation Mohawk Nation is part of the 6 Nations Seneca, Oneida, Onodaga. Cayuga., Tuscarona nations. The tree in the flag is the White Pine known as the tree of Peace The 6 Nations were originally along the eastern coast of the states and Canada i am glad you did not go inside the buildings your gut was telling you not too Great Job JP very interesting video thank you

Unfortunately, with a teardown goes the "feel" and "vibe". Worked on many like these. The whole history of the neighborhood gets lost when you lose landmarks such as these.

What a shame, the houses looked like they were really lovely in their day! Amazing that the flags are still there! Lucky you were not chased away, I think if you had attempted to go in he would have been at you. Stay safe!

Strange, wasteful...

Too bad you didn’t get to explore the inside. Better to be safe than sorry

Hi Jay, you made the right call. I in a way think it's great that the homeless are making use of abandoned properties because at this time of year it really starts to get cold at night, so many homeless people die on the streets each Winter when they could be in the warm and utilising these old places. Cool video nonetheless and worth the scout round to see the architecture. Thank you. x

Makes sense since one of the houses was named Mohawk & I thought I saw something with Iroquois on it - I wonder what the other houses were named

Any chance of redoing them

Looks like one of the apartments was a doctors office at one point, He is/was a ND = Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and a DC = Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine (why he would advertise his BSe = Bachelor of Science has me confused). ND is an alternative to a MD. ND's in some states are equivalent to MD's Doing a quick search, it seems Gerald is around 70 years old (probably retired). He's quite an activist in your area (homeless and holes around the Susquehanna River & Kirby Park). Funny he talks about the homeless problem around the river and park, While his old office is home to squatters. I'm curious, do you know which house from the front was his office (since the sign was in the back)? I'm thinking one of the ones with Native American references & paraphernalia
