Why hasn't someone anyone bought this place?? I know restoration costs a lot but these beautiful homes have stories to tell and should never go by the wayside. I think of the families, the celebrations, birthdays, Christmas, births and deaths that happened here. The entire home is such a treasure!!!! Thanks Kappy you always explore the best places 💜

Because if you bought that house, spent $1000s of Dollars in Renovations and upgrades . Poured your soul into making it beautiful again, BLACK LIVES MATTER or a Bunch of self loathing White Guilt white people would raise all kinds of hell about slavery and White Supremacy and Blah blah blah. Then you'd have to Bulldoze it down or it'd get vandalized or burnt down. So there's no point in fixing it up.

A good while ago, my dad worked to restore an old mansion. I was really little and my mom wasn't in the picture so I remember playing in the yard of the house while he worked (I just wasn't allowed near the old slave quarters) I have so many memories of it, but the man my dad was working for made him abandon the project. I was never told why 🫤

Nature has beat her up pretty good but she's not too far gone. I wish someone could save her. Thank you Kappy. You do such a great job.

My niece and I drove by this place a couple of years ago and decided to explore... We were in awe of it's beauty. It was a dark and stormy day and we weren't brave enough to go upstairs, so I really appreciated seeing it through your video! I was saddened to see the fireplaces have been removed - as I recall, they were quite beautiful.

I do and have pass by this home. From time to time. The area is so beautiful and peaceful.

The columns and outside architecture is just majestic. The floor to ceiling windows, wow. I still love that old brick. The staircase is a work of art by itself. This visit just seemed other worldly...Thanks again Kappy. I look forward to every week.

Absolutely beautiful. The lady that restores mansion’s and houses in Kansas on HGTV would do an amazing restoration of this house.

The wrap around porch was probably a gathering spot on a hot summers night, maybe the younger generation at one end and the older folks on the other? I think this because the kids would likely be chattering away, while the adults discussed crops, gardens, recipes, and yes politics. What an easier/harder time in Americas history, back when the bread was homemade, didn't cost $3.50 a loaf, it was better for you and tasted better too! Thanks Kappy, it looks like you have some (more) great explores coming our way.

In the 60's I remember they tore down so many of these old vintage houses, even the ones I grew up in, some of them were very haunted, I don't know why but I saw children dressed in old 1800's clothes in some of the old houses that's when I was really little and they would appear I can still remember, but that's not why I'm fascinated its because I think about how people used to live in those days

Simply beautiful. Thank you.
