Manitoba's' landscape is dotted by what I call Prairie Pearls, beautiful abandoned surrounded by nature. If you have a moment to watch one more explore, this was one I really thought was interesting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5d-2JJ9d72pYrg.html

It's really sad that these old places are left to rot.

My century home was built in 1863 with all of the original tongue and groove walls and ceilings both floors and almost 10 ft ceilings for the first floor and 8ft ceilings second floor. Original hardwood flooring both floors; 5 bedroom house with the large stone basement and cistern. I love my home.

When you came to the old vehicles It made me wish I could show it to my husband, he loved old vehicles. He passed away a year & a half ago, he was bedfast for last couple years & I'd go in there to show him stuff on tv or my phone. That tin ceiling pieces were beautiful. Just imagine how beautiful it was back in the day when it was all whole,together. I wish some parts of the house could be saved, the stenciling, even the tin ceiling pieces, window frame.

I wish I could have seen it when there was a family living there. It's still beautiful to me but it's been let go too long and would be considered a total loss now. So this is in Canada I guess since you mentioned Manitoba and it may have quite a bit of land with it? Who knows here in Texas they would possibly tear it down and put in a subdivision which is always sad to see. The houses down here that are newly built are like boxes, the two story ones, and I would never want to live in a house that all the other ones on the street looked the same as mine. People like to buy old cars like those and use it for a project to make new again. Thank you for showing it, it's absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for sharing, Manitoba sure does have some nice hidden gems. I love the large round windows in the houses. I'm sure by today's standards they would be far to cost prohibitive for a lot of people such as myself to heat. I live in an old house in River Heights and just had my roof replace and the roofer said that these old houses were build really sold and that my beams were still really solid. My house is almost 100 years old. I also like the old paint colours which I still have him my home. The paint is being to chip but it still looks great, rather "regal" if you will.

The second visit to this house was even more interesting than the first! I'm so glad you went back, Cindy; an outstanding exploration and video. As I watched I was thinking that maybe someone would copy the stencil designs and use them then you mentioned that wanted someone to save the stencils. Actually, Cindy, with your close, careful documentation YOU have already saved the stencils. Thanks to you there is now a record of them for the future when this house is gone.----The car behind the house makes me think of Grey Gardens, the dilapidated, overgrown mansion on Long Island where the Beales once lived and became the subject of a documentary and HBO drama. That was another place with a car sitting outside.---In the back room downstairs there seems to be a ladies dressing table (my mother used to use the term "vanity table") that makes me wonder if an older lady once lived in the downstairs so she didn't have to or couldn't use the stairs anymore.----I agree: this exceptionally fine house needs to come down; it's now too dangerous to be left standing. I'm glad you were able to go there one more time while there was still an opportunity to do so. Documenting buildings from the past is important and your excellent work is not just entertaining but is a service to the community.

+PrairieDodgers As I'm listening to this video and reading the comments, I can't help but think of how I loved to explore all the places I used to visit when living in France. I've been blind all my life and live in my own condo, and I love what you said about how important it is for some people to be able to stay in their own home. It's such a prrivelege to have a house of my own and have paid for, and now that I can't work, it's also tough, because I so want to be able to remodel my place, because if I don't, it won't be sellable. I wonder how those who lived in these beautiful places wondered if anybody would keep the place beautiful or if it would fall into disrepair and abandonment? I lived in France for two years, (from 9 to 11 years old), and I miss exploring like I used to over there.Now, here I am at 51, and I'd love to return back to work if my medical condition would make it easier, but I also would like to be independent until the day I leave this world. What you're doing is such a blessing. It would be so nice to be able to do more exploring with someone, because I don't think I'mwilling to do it completely on my own now. I was a lot more fearless as a child. Too bad Guide Dogs don't talk, either, Haha.

The curved windows, stencils are just my style and I would have loved to live in this 100 year old house. Maybe if you leave a note for the demolishers they could cut out some stencils for you. If abandoned houses can not find a renter it would be good if they give rent free just tax and utilities so the house would not rot. The historical society should have saved this house as soon as it was abandoned. I love the time you took in filming so I could see it well. No quick shots.

There are a few books I've seen in Barns & Noble that have nothing but Victorian era stencils and clip art from that time period. Used book stores can also be a treasure trove of almost forgotten histories and home décor details for nearly any era when looking for ideas if re-modeling.

These are monuments to be cherished and respected .... where is the Love ?? For 12 years and counting restored an 1862 Victorian to pristine condition built like an ox and will last 500 years. When a home is exposed to the elements it quickly deteriorates, the roof is the most important to replace first and foremost and any broken glass. Next, replace all old wiring as house fires are common with old homes with knob n tube. The wind and moisture does a considerable amount of damage to any home. Follow up with replacement of any old plumbing and the cosmetics follow. SAVE A VICTORIAN!

I am the Queen of ZOOM! ha ha I just view the screen when I am zooming instead of using binoculars. Nice to hear from you lottie!

Awesome job as usual. Hollywood maybe be calling you to direct. :) Made my day seeing this new one. Thanks for doing what you do !!!!!

This is gorgeous! Superior craftsmanship I sure! When you were walking to the out buildings at the back of the lot it sure looked spooky! Very foreboding looking! Very high ceilings! I guess typical of that era! Very ornamental! Nice find! Thanks for the adventure!

Very stylish people used to live there even down to the car they had driven that was left out in the back. Would love to know more about them. It's such a shame they would leave a beautiful home to decay this way. Thanks for the tour! :)

+Dawn Renae After it comes down, I will be able to give a bit more info. This place is not safe really to explore. I would not want to lead anyone there. But I can say you are good at picking up the details and your assumption is right! Can you imagine finding out where they dumped out their garbage and picking through it for all the fine containers from all over the world at that time. Or even little things they thought were junk. Just tossed into a pit in the back, somewhere. What a great way to get to know who really lived there. Thank you Dawn, for taking the time!

PrairieDodgers Completely understand and am so looking forward to hearing their story. I owned two very old homes, one a wedding cake of a Victorian that was the biggest house in town and had porches wrapping all of the way around and would dig up shards of fine china while gardening and an even older Salt box style home that had been the founder of the county I lived in. Kicking myself to this day for being too busy while living there to think of buying a metal detector. It would have been so fun to see what else lay beneath the earth in those old places. Love this one....and the stenciling....my great grandparents in Chicago owned a big mansion that had the most amazing art....and my Grandfather used to do it to the homes he owned even after. You could definitely tell that this family had exquisite taste by the style of the home and even the wallpaper they had chosen. Truly loved it and your channel.

If you look up the Lyons house in Carberry, Manitoba there is a lot that you can read about this home. I’m 45 and it has been abandoned my whole life. It’s a monument in my home town and everyone wanted to check it out. We were afraid we’d get caught and arrested lol!

This is by far, one of the most interesting places I've ever seen on KZread... I like the way You describe the specifics of this hundred year old house like; the history of the bricks used to build with, the fact that the kitchen would have been an add-on, the awesome hand painted stenciling, and the layers of the wallpapering... Great job video recording this once grand mansion home... Too bad, You couldn't give a copy to the historians of that area for posterity... Sometimes, do You ever find out about the history & pervious families of the older houses like this one? Would be a nice accompaniment to the video... I've subscribed & looking forward to seeing more in the future... This is way different type of house than here in Phoenix, (metropolis), Arizona. ; D

I love old houses. When I was young I would explore old houses & barns. I could c hear & feel the sounds of the houses in full swing. I could feel if they were happy people that lived there. I could also feel vibes of depression & sadness, loneliness from the people that lived there. I cn an elderly man @ a big fancy old yellow farm house carrying fire wood. He tripped & fell in 2 a storage shed 4 wood in side the house. He was knocked out & bleed 2 death from a gash from falling & cutting an artery in his upper thigh. He wasnt found 4 several days. I could c him laying there. Another old farm house right as I stepped on2 the property I could hear an Oregon playing. As I looked around the grounds I could feel a smiling older lady trying 2 talk 2 me. I just couldent tune in 2 her. She would leave & I would hear the orgon again. I stepped on 2 the porch I felt her again smiling. Then she opened up her life 2 me & I cn the property & house in a celebration people were every where laughing talking. Kids were running & playing. A handsom man was bring out a saddled up horse 4 the kids 2 ride. It was wonderful. I blinked & it was gone. I couldn't get in with out breaking in so I called the realtor on the 4 sale sign. I met him the next day acting like my husband wanted 2 buy it. As i walked thru the house i opened a door & there was a dusty broke down orgon. I gasped & smiled 4 the elderly lady that played the orgon 4 me. I have cn a few spirits in my life but shes was the only spirit that cn me. She loved her life there & all the memories, & she showed them 2 me. She must have liked me.

Thanks for this beautiful video, what a shame this place was let go like it has. I love the 3 windows in the main staircase. That is amazing, the stenciling. I have thought about doing some stencils in our own house, which is a brick Italianate similar to this, but I can't imagine doing the ceilings. I wonder why they cemented over the brick? It's weird, but I kind of like it. This poor thing has been beyond repair for a long time it looks like. Once the roof goes they are just goners, and it makes my heart hurt for this poor baby. It makes me imagine back when there was a family and children and holidays and pets, you know, this was someone's pride and joy. 😭so sad to see the end come for a once beautiful home. Why did we stop building these? Why can't we do it again? Now we have these awful mcmansions with their weird rooflines and nonfunctional pillars and mismatched windows. Even our own house, I am just taken aback at things, the curves and trims and fancy things, done without the benefit of power tools. The second floor piping in the bedroom walls...is that from gas lighting? We still have the hardware on our walls, I am fascinated by it. Talk about a giant bomb.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and write such an interesting comment. One of the stencils on the ceiling was an Egyptian revival design that was popular in the 1st decade of the 1900s. I think the flower designs might have been the original stencil. Thank you again!

I just feel there's going to be a ghost going jump out, maybe a little girl waving at you from the top part of the roof. I can hear the voices growing louder and louder, and so I could see the highway in the back before a moment there it sounded like voices moaning loudly, getting louder. I just feel like I turn around and something is going to be there.

It, I think this would make a great horror movie. Will you zoomed into the old car I could imagine the radio to start turning a music from the past this blurring can hear laughter but there's no one there is just the past. And when you step into the kitchen, you can still see the cooks try to prepare meals. I can feel the ghost all around the mansion. I could hear the young girl laughing. The cooks scrambling to make a meal for the guest that's about to rise and each of them being greeted by the owners.

Can anything be recycled? Such as the BRICS are some of the wood you know? Tiny house movement is becoming very popular, you know, and having to be able to recycle anything to go into a tiny house would be proudly remarkable, so is there anything that can be salvageable from these mansions? Or is it really just too late? Please check out tiny house movement if you haven't then you can stay and what I was saying about the transfer of something old into something new and cute please let me know in the comments

PS wood back in the 18 hundreds was much more sturdier than probably today the treatment of it was probably better so bricks wood maybe even some metals could probably be restored and recycled and pro would hold up a lot longer since it was treated with a better upgrade back then that's what you call real masters of carpet

+asankaw1 Hi Asankaw. I wanted to look up at the windows as I walked up and just wanted to make sure the stairs were going to hold my weight if I wasn't going to be looking were I was stepping as I was going up. I watched a video of a couple of kids running around all those top rooms of that house. Just a few weeks before I did this one . And thought how lucky they were to get out alive the way they were all over that place. Glad I got back there. Cheers! Have a great week!
