When people pass on and leave their beloved home to a community church it should not be left to be abandoned, rot and decay. These people could have left it to someone who would have appreciated it and given it the respect it deserves.

Well as he states it was used as an admin building so it probably empty at times. From the sounds of it the whole property was probably not lived on or used on a daily basis. They also might have used the house for cumunity functions or rented the basement out for events and stuff. So it makes sense certain parts would be locked. Especially if there were valuable or sensitive items like records and stuff like that. The bedrooms with padlocks were probably some sort of storage at one point. I would have like to know what was behind that nailed shut door though lol.

I've got one that's almost a replica, so you're quite right. The same side doors, small top drawer has felt lining and the larger bottom drawer. I have the matching China cabinet and table bought from an antique shop in the mid 90s, I believe it to be from the 1930s approximately. It was one of the few things besides the house that caught my attention. I'm a hopeless lover of older buildings, furniture and anything that has history behind it. I couldn't help sharing the little I could.

That is a beautiful stone building and stones is a rule don’t fall down so I would hope that someone would buy the building , gut the inside and rebuild something nice. It would be a shame to waste such a beautiful stone structure

I think they came in and dropped the ceiling, paneled the walls and added bathrooms to make this into a community church with lots of classrooms. Closed up some doorways to make the classrooms bigger. Thanks for allowing me to tag along. 🙏🏻 I think the area where the large kitchen is now has been enlarged by knocking down some walls and taking over the dining room to fit their needs for serving meals to many people, like a church congregation. Thank you for the video. Enjoyed much. ❣️

JP, in this video you showed a piece of furniture and asked, "What is that? A dresser?". I'll tell you I think it is called a buffet and was used to store linen, flatware, and dishes. You could set the table from there - bottom drawer for linen, long top drawer for flatware. and dishes on the sides with doors.

Nice building outside, but the inside seems so cold; almost sinister.

I always feel a bit of sadness at how these properties are left to rot.

As a retired pastor, it reminds me of some kind of Christian retreat ministry.

Out of some of these abandoned houses, I do like yours as you dont whip the cam around, nice and slow and steady. I get motion sick very easy, most others I cant watch. Two thumbs up.

Hello from WV! LOVED this video...the piece of furniture you called a dresser is a Dining Room Sideboard/BUFFET. The home seems to have been built around 1900 and is very much like one I lived in! The home's design is one that used every inch of space for living and yes closets and storage! There is a chance that the woods used thruout are chestnut which was in abundance at that time. Our home also had those same doors, light fixtures and funky closets in closets! Nice find!

@oldenweery7510

Thanks, I was trying to remember what it was called. We had one in our dining room for 13 years, until we moved to a home where the non-load bearing wall between dining room and living room had been removed to make a living room 18x22 feet. We put the dining table on the end of the room near the kitchen doorway.

This house has a beautiful architecture. I think it is sad to see an abandoned house when so many people have nowhere to live. It's that kind of thing that has no explanation.

Love the outakes😂😂. Thanks also for talking. I like to see what you’re looking at and your thoughts. Great video😊🤗

I have a weird reaction to some of these videos. Sometimes I could almost swear that I can smell dust, mold and general rot.

That is truly an amazing site. If it wasn't in such disrepair, it would totally be worth flipping (& if it was privately owed of course). Honestly, I would knock out walls that weren't weight bearing & redo the entire place - but keeping with the previous theme of lots of closets!!

The light switch is a Religious coat of arms, which church I don't know. However, it is definitely is not Catholic. I am thinking something out of the mainstream. The table in the room with piano, is a sideboard table usually found in dinning rooms. The room at the end of the hallway with the fire place was the master bedroom, when the house was actually used as a house. The reason your not seeing any light fixtures in the downstairs rooms, is because drop ceiling where placed in there when it was converted into office space. That paneling was also probably put in then too. You are right about the closet being cedar. Those upstairs rooms where used as sunday school rooms,maybe daycare. I am pretty positive by its set up it was all so used as a religious revival camp. That second set of steps you came to upstairs probably lead to the original kitchen. Very common for houses of that age. I bet, that house was beautiful in and out when it was first built.. The family that built that home were definitely not poor. To bad it was left to rack and ruin.

This reminds me of an unwed mothers home, or children's home/orphanage.

2007 does not sound that long ago to me.. until you said 11 years ago.. man I am getting old. lol. love that mirror in room 18. wow i love the look of the basement.. I am thinking private church school for troubled kids,,,teens, or learning center for church disciples, door to door knockers. that was a cool find.

Hi, JP and Mike! I love this property! I can tell it was a beautiful place in it's day. I always love to see wood paneling made of REAL wood and not the fake stuff. This place had a lot of the detail from days gone by that are so beautiful - the old woodwork, old stye doors and doorknobs, old timey large windows, the stair cases, just awesome, and the grounds were lovely. It scared me when that guy suddenly showed up lol, and glad he didn't give you all a hard time. It looked like that place was very hot, and had a lot of things not good to breathe in - hope you guys are okay after that one, looked like a tough job filming this awesome place, and thanks again!

It was hot and challenging, but rewarding afterwards.

If you apply latex paint over oil base paint the latex paint will always peel. Years ago, only oil base paint was used to paint with until latex was developed. It is getting harder to find oil base paint because it is not as environmentally friendly. To fix these doors, strip off the oil and latex paint, then wipe down with paint thinner, sand with a 220 grit sandpaper, then prime with Kilz and repaint with latex base paint.

That was a beautiful home at one time, before it got desecrated with the hideous 70's "updates": wood paneling, ugly dropped ceilings and icky carpet. What a shame. That elongated "dresser" downstairs was a dining room side board cabinet. You got lucky that the guy that drove by passed thru after you had gotten out of the house ; ) That's always a sinking feeling when exploring an abandoned house and you get "caught" even though you aren't really doing anything wrong.

Two thumbs up, JP! A very interesting house and property, and thank you for enduring the heat upstairs in order to show us everything. The playground equipment looks pretty old. I’m wondering if the house was ever used as a residential building for disabled children? So many bedrooms they must have been used for people to live in at some point in time. Battered women? Juvenile delinquents? Kids with psychological issues? Unwed mothers? ~ I bet when it was newly built it was absolutely beautiful. Those cabinets in the basement are worth saving. The skinny back stairs would have been for the servants if it was ever a single family home. The peacefulness of the setting is still apparent. Thanks so much for sharing this once beautiful house.

David Brown, the Craftsman bungalows usually had walk-in closets.

I get the impression that it was an old church camp. The rooms housed staff and the pastors slept in this building. It looks like they fed the campers in the basement. In many cities the county of municipality will make the bank keep the exterior maintained and lock up the building locked up. The county assessors office will have the information. Cool location. I am surprised someone hasn't bought it up for development. .
