My thoughts, precisely. Most old homes have clandestine hauntings. Truthfully, I live in Gallows Hill, which has another placename so not to deter property buyers. Hauntings with friendly, compatible ghosts are ok, while hostile ghosts are not. There are some people who can live with ghosts and some who can't. I have lived in few haunted houses, more good experiences than bad experiences. No matter how haunted my present home, it is one of the *SAFEST* places in the country. I have one most regular spirit in my life. He is my guardian fiercely protective of me. He protects me from spiritual dangers. His presence is enough to silence all activities by poltergeists. He had multiple times saved my life from extreme dangers like stalkers, rapists, murderers, etc. Also, he had previously responded to my many emergencies like few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. Everywhere where I go, he always comes with me and thwarts all dangers on my path, my great gratitude to him. His presence always increases my sense of safety, though daunting to visitors including relations.

I wonder what drove a person to burn a mattress in the basement. Maybe it's haunted by all the the people who were left there to die by their relatives. I could see a classic horror movie theme developing from this house. The place gets fixed up beautifully, an unsuspecting family falls in love with the house until realizing that it was a long term care facility, where elderly people were abused and tortured. They thought that they owned the house, but really it's possessed by all the souls that passed away there, and the evil nurse who ran the facility.

Once you tear out the roof, the walls, the doors, the windows, and dig out the old basement, this is going to be a super nice house.

Thanks for this viewing. Just a quick comment regarding the chapel. You had mentioned that the building at some point was a long-term care facility which could explain the chapel. Please keep in mind that it was not uncommon for affluent Catholics at the time of that building being constructed they could have what was referred to as a private chapel for eucharistic adoration. In cities such as Saint Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Cleveland you can find mansions of this era with chapels of similar size.

I grew up down the street from this house - they use to let the neighborhood kids come in for trick or treating and it was amazing in the late 90s! I hope you’re able to reno. It was transitioned to be student housing for Seton Hill for a while and ever since it’s been downhill for the poor place 🙁

It would be great to see it fully restored. Today's buildings, just like today's cookie cutter cars, just don't have the class and style of buildings from that era. What a magnificent piece of history if it can be saved!

This building would have been 100K better off when rented out for free to some-one, ten years ago. In Holland we have anti squat. People can rent for about 30-50% of a normal market price, without rent protection. If the owner wants to sell they have 1-3 months to leave. The anti squat organisation rents out many properties so they often have the possibility to move to another building in the same area, if they have been good citizens. Abandoned buildings attract problems, fire, vandals, grafitty, they start to leak. it's bad for a neighborhood. This building is an example of stupid capital management.

But I would buy it and gut it for all that beautiful millwork and everything else that could possibly be salvaged. Then I'd use all of it to build a modest, but absolutely beautiful home. That staircase alone has got to be worth a small fortune!

It's crazy that less than a decade of neglect can leave a house looking like that. Obviously it wasn't being very well maintained before it was abandoned. Whoever was in charge was doing the bare minimum.

Sad thing is this was probably a really beautiful house at some point. But time neglect left it in ruins.

Thanks for This. Love what you two do. Very interesting.

The perfect site for horror movie. Buy it, make a movie titles "The House" . Sell the movie. Renovate and then sell the house as a movie icon.

Is this the best order to fix?: 1. New roof 2. Rip drywall off 3. Repair structure 4. Cleanup 5. New doors/window 6. Repair walls ceilings 7. Repair brickwork 8. Decorate 9. Furnish 10. Live there

Thank you so much for doing a tour of a house I've driven by countless times and wondered what it looked like inside. Ps: totally thought this was an old funeral home.

Don't worry Colby, we're still on the search for a building like this! We just haven't found one that Dave likes enough yet. In the meantime, we do have another renovation featured on the channel if you're up for watching a smaller rehab project. Thanks for watching!

Go for it! Wonderful results!

I live just a few minuets from this place. It's terrible to let something this incredible fall into this condition. It is located in a small town and the houses are very close together. Thanks for the tour.

The primary reason not to get involved in restoring this house is the profound lack of open room on all sides of the "house". With remediation and even if you can do 85% of the restoration work yourself, you'd still have to bring in some professional subcontractors. Bargaining with the bank/owners to buy the house and land for one dollar, it'd probably cost somewhere around $200K for ripping out virtually everything that's not supportive, remediation, subcontractors, and your time and money to replace everything. Looks like it had 3 lives. Too bad. It must have looked pretty nice at one time. I'm assuming whoever at once owned it sold off the land around it for the homes shoehorned in around it.

Lets get this video up to 100,000 Likes, so that they buy it (if it has not been sold already), and are hopefully able to restore it. That was a really cool walkthrough of the Mansion.

Even if they restored this house to mint condition, who would buy it when the ugly neighbor’s house is literally overhanging the property.

@Falcodrin

4 жыл бұрын

If that house is over the property you would have legal process but could get it removed.

Wow, I'm a builder/remodeler and I'm seeing a total gut job. Hopefully the roof and interior walls and floor framing are not compromised beyond mold, insect infestation, and wet/dry rot. If that were so, and you managed to restore this house to former glory, it is still in a pretty sad nieghborhood and way too close to abutters. And the comps would destroy any chance of monetary recuperation. Sorry to say that even the cleared lot wouldn't be worth much more than the $27K. As much as I love older homes, I'd say walk away. BTW if a bank owns this or it is a tax sale from the town/county they are holding a liability that grows more severe each year. Just think of the liabilities if this goes up in flames or becomes a flop house for homeless drug users. Whomever is holding the deed must know this and should be selling for $1 just to get out of any potential lawsuits downstream.

The location is an old suburb of Pittsburg. I'd think that there would be gentrification here, unless much of this town is in poor shape - lots of drug and property crimes, horrible schools etc - don't know, but there is a reason this suburb isn't more popular. There was once something happening here for the upper middle class, the kind of places that experience gentrification

My grandpa had a 60's Chevy Pick Up with a V8 and 3 on the tree, I learned how to drive it in his field when I was 14.

This one is a complete demo . The black mold remediation costs alone would be astronomical . This is a huge no .

Eh, if I could get it for $20K, maybe. That is a LOT of work and money, however, it has a ton of potential. Would be a great "fixer-upper" to make many videos about. Plenty to do lol. I wouldn't really know where to even start on such a project, I'm leaning towards fixing the roof and windows so no more water gets in. Then solving the mold problem and fixing any structural rot/stabilize the structure. After that, anything damaged beyond repair, rip it out and fix. Personally, I would try to save everything that has a history unless it's hopeless. Might want to check for asbestos and lead too. Wouldn't surprise me if there was some asbestos lurking somewhere and maybe some lead pipes and paint.

I can see great potential for that mansion. I also feel wonderful energy from it. I saw my dream of having a group home for wayward girls. As a teenager I lived in a fantastic facility that taught young ladies in my situation to love and value themselves. Believe it or not those, lessons changed my life and the lives of 12 other girls. We all went on to make the world a better place. As a result, I graduated from college with a manger in Child and family development. Having such a nice place like that; can do 2 things for sure. 1) Make a grand difference in the community. 2) Make a profit. There are grants that pay for such a magnificent endeavor.

I'd like to know the history of the house. Like what happened? Did the original owner go bankrupt, did they get addicted to drugs .... like who the original family was that lived there and how the transition from owner to owner finally led to its current condition. Maybe there is a story in that for you to share?

Awesome find man, so much amazing architecture that you never see in the homes of today. I found one of these (6/4) in Kansas while I was stationed there and still have her today. Was built in 1902 by the second mayor of our town. My wife says there are three entities here, two women and a little boy, but I haven’t experienced anything.....and I walk through the house at night in the dark. 🤷‍♂️ We have done a ton of plaster and lattice removal, updated wiring, put up drywall, repaint but these old Craftsman homes in my opinion are priceless.....to include you can get on the historic homes list (state and federal) and apply for grants to rebuild. Good lunch and keep us posted on the rebuild! 👍🤙

It's "held together by termites holding hands", as he grinds the gears. (just kidding!) Funny line! Most towns have historic homes like that. To many times money talks, and the precious parts are overlooked as the entire building is demolished for a parking lot. Most become care homes, and rot.
