I agree, however, life brings unexpected illnesses, and deaths, leaving good intentions to hit the wayside, sadly. Additionally, some folks think relatives will desire what you willed, and/or entrusted them, and it's sometimes not what they ever wanted to own.

That organ should be saved and restored. It's a piece of art. Wish I lived in that area. I'd be finding the owners to get it.

WOW! That first house, with the wrap-around porch is so quaint! Sad to see these historic places just melting back into nature. 7:55 if I recall correctly, that's called tiger oak due to its natural striping. It's not painted. 8:32 appears to be a gas lantern that was added after the fact, which would explain the piping coming up inside the room, rather than buried in the wall.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD how someone could come into a home that isn't theirs, and just TRASH IT!!!! Who manufactures people like that?! The area is BREATHTAKING though!!!! If I had the money, I'd tear it down, (put it out of its misery) and rebuild a BEAUTIFUL COLONIAL STYLE HOME!!!! Thanks for taking us along Kappy!!!!

Can anyone tell me why someone would up and walk away from a beautiful house like this!!!? ANYONE?

My grandmother had a pump organ similar to the one shown here. I never saw anyone play it, so it leaves me to believe that it was originally owned by my great grandmother. She was insane, but she was kept at home, I remember her quite well, she terrified me because she was rather wild acting and could get violent at the drop of a hat. She wore high neck blouses, long floor length dresses with petticoats underneath and hook shoes and her hair pulled back in a bun. The odd fixture in the upstairs room is as someone said is a gas lamp, they became common fixtures in many houses before electricity. I was born in and still live in North Carolina, the landscape is dotted with abandoned houses and other structures.

Great old homes, and bet the kids had a time sliding down the banisters. Still wonder what people are thinking when they use these paint colors! Thanks, Kappy!

The thing you wondered about looked to me like a gas light. I lived in a old house that had pipes like that hidden under the floor& behind walls. When converted to electric the lamp part was changed to an electric wall sconce. Wire ran to switch at the bedroom entrance. Thanks for sharing your adventures!💙 dered

Beautiful old houses!! The old houses had such charm. Today's homes can never compare. The people in the second house sure like color!!

At first I thought that was tiger oak on the trim and fireplaces, but when you showed the close up of the door it's easy to see it was faux wood grain. I've seen that done in other old houses but had forgotten all about it. They take plain wood and varnish it, and while the varnish is still wet they drag tools through it to create a wood grain effect. Beautiful house, love the staircase and banisters, and the bright and open layout. Nice old Southern belle. Another one where a metal roof saved it, could be restored.

So sad! Someone should restore this beautiful place

That wouldn't be a fireplace. It's a brick barrier for a wood burning stove/heater. Great video. Thanks.

Oh if the walls could talk. Enjoyed seeing the beautiful wood, bead wood and other architectural designs. That looked like an old trunk lying on the floor. Thanks for the tour.

Great video! That pipe on the wall in the 2nd bedroom of the first house was for a gas light.

If those houses get torn down without salvaging some of those beautiful architectural features, I will lose my faith in humanity.

Walking away from those homes shows how far down the slippery slopes we've already gone!

That organ is a truly a work of art and should be preserved at all cost! I have a feeling that several families lived there after the doctor did, they probably moved all their belongings in and arranged them around the organ and piano. I'm guessing the white keys on both the organ , and the piano are made from ivory. How nice to see such a grand place that hasn't been vandalized... yet...

This house is so close to the highway. If someone got out of control they, could land right in a living space. An amazing find. Thanks.

Two great houses. The doctor's house was a real charmer in its day. All the fire places were awesome. I love the woodwork. I always enjoy seeing the old pump organs and pianos. Often they're left behind because of their weight. Some fifty years ago I had a playerpiano. It was heavier than I ever expected and like so many other people I had to leave it behind because it was too heavy to move. That pump organ is stunning. I bet with a little elbow grease and repairing the bello's it would come to life once again. I was really surprised as to how big the second house was. It certainly didn't look that way from the outside. Two great houses and another wonderful adventure. Thanks Kappy, for bringing us along 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I loved the front door on #1. And compared to #2, it was perfect with no vandalizing and clutter. Even the windows were intact. That 2nd one looked like squatters had trashed it. But still very nice spacious homes. That gasoleer connection in the last bedroom was cool.

my grandma she had a ornate pump organ much the same as that one played it Sundays in our Methodist chapel taught me music

I googled the organ. A picture of that exact organ popped up. 1879-1921 In 1900 they were producing 8000 units per year. Value at most $500 Average from auctions is less than $100

The fake wood grain on the wood is done with stainand a metal comb looking thing, watched my uncle who was a painter do it when I was a kid, I’m currently 72 now.

That is a gas light fixture at 8:34 in the video. The woodwork in the house is most likely pine with a faux finish using glaze and varnish to make it look like quarter sawed oak...the faux graining would have been done using a comb and feather.

It's very sad to me to see old fallen down deteriorated unique style houses that are not restored or taking care of. Probably so very many has a history or story to tell back in time. And maybe also just the possibility their is buried treasure on the grounds or peace of history that will never be found. Everytime I see an old large unique style forgotten deteriorated house, always wonder who lived there and all the history over the years. Truly enjoy your site !!!! I am hoping that someone would see this video cause that old organ is rare and worth something !

I liked that first house, a lot. Porch, fireplaces and big windows, always a win for me. Looks like it was taken care of pretty well until recently.

I would absolutely love to find an old home in that good of shape and buy it , restore it and make it a home again.

The weird "fireplace" is actually where a wood stove would be. That hole is where the pipe would have passed through. Thanks for the great exploration.

The first is worth saving. Just checked underneath the house. Stabilized the house and replace the floor. What you saw on the last bedroom. They had natural gas lighting at one time. The second house is also a keeper. Check under the house and replace the flooring.

Oh my if walls could talk think of the stories they would tell with the history of all the people and times of this beautiful house. As a retired nurse I would be most interested in the history of the doctor and all that happened there. Thank you for exploring this place. Would love to know what town this is. From NC.

That wood on the fireplace and the door is beautiful, I don’t think I’ve seen it before. I would have been out of there when I heard the gunshots. I really liked the second house, it just seemed cozier. I didn’t care for all the bright colours, I prefer just white walls. See you next week!

What a beautiful house. Thank you Kappy. Stay safe

Kappy, I enjoy your videos, especially since I have lived in North Carolina my whole life. Small towns in Eastern NC are drying up; not many young people want to move here; I grew up here and love it here!

I love all the windows in the second house. Thanks.

Wow that piano is nice too and that house is just wild I love the door and the windows the mantals are very very nice shape

Good morning Kappy... What a beauty, have a great day ! 😍

I bet those pedestals on each side of the keyboard on that pump organ were for candles in a time when there was no electricity. Very cool video. Thank you.

This house is stunning. It's truly a sin that the owner's are letting that organ and piano rot. I have an organ almost exactly like it, and it still sounds beautiful today.

This house appears to be very late 19th or early 20th century... The wood work is grain painted... The central front hall (stairway) has had a wall removed making an open plan... The fixture on the wall upstairs is a gas light with the striker still attached but missing its glass shade... This could have been carbide... My Tennessee farmhouse still has some carbide lighting in place... The red brick fireplaces are fairly modern rebuilt... The second house looks 1920s to 1940... I like the rim (surface mounted) locks on all the doors...
