That girl on the mantle was absolutely beautiful! How sad this was somebody’s life and now it’s falling to pieces. Life is only a vapor!😢

Being 62 the interior design is definitely late 60's to mid 70's. Back in the day the Zenith console t.vs were considered high end and came with the first remote controls, which were seriously clunky and it was easier to just change the channel manually. Lady of the house was definitely a gifted artist and beautiful. Crying shame the house was allowed to rot as so many others. I'm a big fan of yours and other young folks explore channels and the appreciation ya'll for documenting the days gone by!!

@Barbara Hineman In the 1970's we owned a Zenith TV that had a remote control that emitted a high pitched ringing sound when you'd press the buttons to change the channel. We had to tape our dogs id tags together because the jingling sound of the tags would cause the channel to change. I remember the sound that the tv made when changing channels, it was very similar to the sound that a starter on a car makes when starting the engine.

Big Bankz, I don’t want to sound mean here. I have recommended to you several times to better educate yourself on antiques and architecture. Please do that, as you misrepresent what you are exploring. There is no way that house was built in the 1800’s. More like the 1970’s. It’s not laid out like a house from the 1800’s, and only a total gut could make it’s architecture look so modern. That Gucci bag was a paper shopping bag. Waterford is crystal, not a watch. A big house, but most certainly not a mansion. People who love to see abandoned places aren’t impressed so much by wealth or celebrity, but by the story of a life, no matter how modest.

This house does not appear to be as old as you implied. Houses built in the early 1900’s typically have wood flooring, not carpeting. It also would have much more elaborate and wider molding . It looks to be more upscale construction from the 1950’s that was perhaps renovated in the 70’s.
