    This house was abandoned FAR after 1950. That stereo on the mantle was digital. I’d say 1998 or even later is appropriate. Grandma probably passed away😢 We all know old folk never much like to upgrade and modernize.actually a good thing because they preserve vintage stuff.

    My grandparents grew up during the Depression, and married in 1946 after the war. They knew the value of a dollar. They took care of their furniture. My grandfather was a handy guy and fixed their appliances. They didn’t waste things. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” By the time they passed in the early 2000’s, their home seemed like a perfect time capsule from the late 60’s. It was just different for those who lived before the “everything is disposable” generations.

    Other than the timeframe, I could have written this word for word about my grandparents. They married post WW1. It was my father and uncles who were born during the Depression. About the only change in the house over 60 years was the paint that was added to the interior walls and the insulation that my Dad added in the 50's. Before fixing the walls, you could see through the cracks. The house looked like a time capsule from the early 40's.

    In my generation's defense, we've dealt with the "everything is disposable" mentality since before we were born, and it's not our fault. You'll want to talk to the companies that figured out "faulty disposable products = repeat profits" business model back in the 1980s.

    The refrigerator and microwave are 1990s models, the stove is 1980s, the toaster oven is either 80s or 90s, the floral sofa in the living room looks 1980s, as do the wing chairs, and there's an '80s computer monitor in the bedroom. I'd say they just replaced stuff gradually over time when it wore out/was due for replacement, as most people do. They never did a total redecoration of the whole house after moving in in the '50s, but it all certainly evolved over time. Nothing seems newer than about 1998, so I'd say the husband predeceased, grandma lived alone until she died or moved to a retirement community, and the house was left to rot (possibly because it wasn't sold while she was still alive and in a retirement community, and by the time she died, had deteriorated so much from sitting vacant that nobody in the family wanted to deal with the work to get it ready to sell).

    ​@taylormay420rodgers it's not unheard of, sometimes they adamantly don't want to sell the house when it's obvious they can't move back, and the kids don't have power of attorney. When someone dies, sometimes the estate gets too complicated with too many heirs who have to come to an agreement to sell anything, especially without a will

    I was going to say the same. I collect vintage electronics and have a Grundig Majestic 2035 radio + RCA Victor 9t240 1948 TV set. Actually this video bothered me in that I would have totally taken and restored both the old radio and TV set. Inside its just a chassis holding capacitors, bulbs, and other fun things. Easy peasy and such a shame to see rotting.

    The item you called an Indian head flask is an old Avon perfume bottle. What you called light bulbs were tubes for the old TV set. When I was a kid when the TV went out one could go to the drug store and test the tubes and replace the bad one. What I thought was strange about this house was that they left everything behind, but it seems like someone took the time to clean the fridge. I'm glad you rescued the bluejay.

    Since I am an old Boomer, I wanted to try to help you figure out an item or two. When I was a kid, every single appliance was stamped "Made in America," something sadly never seen today. ~ 11:19 I believe that the television brand is an American-made 'Truetone,' my father used to sell them at Western Tire & Auto in the 1950s. It's not a "big screen TV" a phrase that didn't exist in the 50s; it appears to be a standard 19-inch screen. ~15:27, That is a rare radio from Sears & Roebuck; at one time, they had thousands of stores in every state in the Union; sadly, now they only have twenty stores left. ~23:10, After my brother was KIA in The Vietnam War, my mother set up a similar memorial to him in his bedroom; his U.S.M.C. certificates, medals, military graduation photo, etc. displayed on the end table, along with his U.S.A. Internment flag on his bed. (if you examine the certificate marked "U.S. Army," you will find the date of service) ~23:50 That looks more like an American Legion commemorative pewter beer stein than a "coffee mug." ~25:25, those aren't lightbulbs; they are tubes used in radios, Diapulse, and other medical equipment back in the day. ~26:51 I believe the "luggage" is either a case for cassettes or 8-track tapes. In any case, this is my first time viewing one of your videos, and taking into consideration that you are the same age as my youngest son and thus have limited historical knowledge, you did a fine job; as such, you earned a new subscriber. God Bless and be with you in 2024. (EDIT: BTW., When I was a kid, 'Ranger Rick,' originally 'Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine' was a children's magazine published by the U. S. National Wildlife Service. The magazine featured articles and activities for children to interest them in hunting and the outdoors.)

Sad thing is it's probably rendered badly flood damaged, although at one time it was probably well-used and had likely ran on that Gray Texas instruments monitor on the bottom of the shelf, from what I can gather. The Owner's War vet memorial is also very neat and a nice tribute to him and his service. I'm also impressed that this house held out this long considering it was badly flood damaged.

    Wonderful video. Great time capsule. The decor looks like the 1950s, but as other commentators said, it likely belonged to an older couple from the 1980s who didn't update their decor. You weren't sure who Barbra Streisand was. Astounding to me, but that just shows the generation gap. She was both a singer and an actor, and one of the very few who is a member of the EGOT club (winner of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards).

    This is the first of your videos I've watched. It's fascinating! Sadly though, it was almost like seeing my own life flash before my eyes. I think the other commenters were right who surmised that this was probably the older woman's house. I wouldn't call her "Grandma," though, because there are no pictures of her and her husband with any of the children she had pictures of. Also, I'd guess she didn't have any heirs or family close enough to care about any of her stuff. It makes me shudder to think that I will probably leave a house like this, too. Also, I can't believe you don't frickin' know who Barbara Streisand is! She's still alive, BTW.

    "Grandma" was probably holding the camera. 😅 There was a picture of an older woman which could have been her. My theory, is that she was in a care facility and no one checked the house, because it was too far away. My mother brought her father to live with us for the last several years of his life. But wasn't able to do anything with his house because it was 300 miles away.

    The sofa is newer than the 50’s. My guess is the old couple couldn’t or didn’t wasn’t to upgrade their decor . The kids grew up & moved on . Sometimes when parents pass, the kids often with jobs & kids of their own, don’t have the time or money to clear it out. And it’s harder when they live farther away. Just some thoughts I have, now that I’m older . Last year my dad got sick & lives 2000 miles away from me. I was sick & couldn’t travel. If not for my brothers , my dads property would have been left .

    Most of the furnishings seem 80s bc we had that exact chair with the footstool by it. The fridge is probably late 80s....you need to remember stuff used to last longer bc it was made better. Especially tvs we had a TV from the 80s that worked til just about 4 yrs ago. The curio cabinets could be older bc they look 70s. The photo albums some are the 80s. Looks like the kids were raised in the 60s through the 80s...so mom and dad keeping their old stuff is pretty regular...bad perms were 70s disco era through the 80s. Cool home. I love the old ones. It always makes me sad that pictures are just left behind. I have 2 sons one 34 the other 16. They both know to save the photos and albums. My exact words to them, "Even if you don't know who these people are, they are family". I may of mentioned if possible I would haunt them if they didn't save them. Wtf you don't know Barbara Striesend was both but a singer first. You're an 80s baby? I thought you were older. Also looks like when dad died or afterwards his stuff was displayed, the bowling and army stuff, his high school football stuff etc...

    I think this house has been staged for pictures. The debris blocking the front door was the ceiling that had come down. Note the debris had been removed from under the gaping holes in the ceiling. Also some objects were clean and sitting next to dusty and dirty pieces, dust builds up evenly. The rug on ‘ grandmas chair’ was too clean when compared to other items, even the chair it was sitting on. The flag on the bed was definitely staged

    My thoughts exactly. Someone came in and staged that area for a photo shoot. Extremely unlikely anyone was using a 1950s black and white TV on a daily basis in the late 80s. Last time I saw anyone still using a TV that old in their living room was around 1976. Even then, the vast majority of people had color television. Whatever was going on there, it's a fascinating video!

    The fridge, microwave (didn't exist in the 50s) TV and toaster oven are way too modern for a 1950's so the actual abandonment was way later than that. The woman's hairstyle was a "beehive" not an "afro" in that day. Maybe squatters have been in it for 20 years?

    That refrigerator is a model from anywhere late 90s to the early 2010s. iPad mini box is from late 2012 or later. (Ipad mini was introduced November 2012. So if that belonged to the former residents of this home, it was abandoned somewhere after 2012.) Elderly people generally don't replace things until they wear out, so that would explain why there is so much vintage stuff in this house. A place can decay fast and 12 years can allow a lot to happen. Sad that it has been ransacked. Nice explore, respect for leaving things as you found them.

Yes i know the more comments good or bad the better the algorithm boost but i still like the way you make us feel .... important,i guess you could say. I like the way you respect the properties and try to give these places life. To you its not just a falling down piece of junk but more of a family dwelling and a part of someone's history. Again. Thank you. I always press the like button and always try to comment because i know it helps you and i always always watch the commercials that come with vids because i know you get a small revenue from that. Its all i can do being in a fixed income. Otherwise i would buy you a coffee or donte for your next explore. Now on to the commentary 😂 Sorry if there are a lot of comments but i add them as i see them. At 9:43 there is a baptismal certificate but i couldnt make out a date, also to the left of that is a bill of some sort that has an address that needs to be blurred out. I couldnt make it out but i also have outdated stuff lol. Ill add more as we go if i see it 😊 Àt the top of the bookshelf by the tv is a hummel picture. Oh i forgot to say the spices in the kitchen should have had a date they usually go one to two years after production date because they lose flavor. Depending on the spice. I believe, the book the cradle will fall was written in 1980 by mary highins clark when it came out in hardback but the one on the bookshelf is paper back so it could be the middle 80's to mid 90's? Chaim potok's the book of lights came out in paper bàck in 1982( i had to look that one up lol) and echos in the darkness was written in 1984 i believe. Ok, another and, answer as a man was published in 2012... I was curious because i saw it was hardback so i looked it up too. The site said 2012-08 i think that mean august of 2012, correct me if im wrong,i wont take it personal lol. At 14:02 the frame on the wall behind you intrigues me. Thee is a frame but no picture? Who took it? Was it always there like that? Was it a certificate? Hmmmm Barbra Streisand had such a beautiful voice. My mom loved her and i loved her.

    I think you missed out on a really interesting clue there. When you opened the refrigerator, you should have picked up those bottles of sauce and other things to check the expiration dates. That would have given an idea of when the house was abandoned. Unless of course they were hoarders, and they kept old products long past expiration dates, then checking dates on the sauces and other things would not be so telling.

    Enjoyed the coverage but this house was lived in for many years after the 50s. Movie player and movie collection, microwave, the late 80s dated newspapers, coffee cups from the late 70s, pictures in the albums, and many other items visible in the video. Most likely, the parents failed to plan ahead for their children's inheritance, so the property was lost in probate court after they passed away. Legally, nothing can be removed from the house when tied up in the court system. Family gives up and walks away.

    When i was around 9-12 somewhere around there, and this was first in the 80s. There was an abandoned house nearby which, curiosity got me, a nd i made my way inside. I went back in there multiple times... turns out a lot of other kids were too. This house was unlike anything I've seen since. It was full of items going back to i assume the 1940s, judging by clothing and other such items. There were radios, furniture, an entire kitchen left all behind as though they just got up and left one day. There was a TV, the early model type, basically a wooden box with a small very rounded screen. One room in this house, had no doors, just windows. And a chicken coup attached going outside. So either they gardened and ate a lot of eggs or who knows what. Out back behind this house, grown in with trees, was an old rotted barn caving in on itself. Inside there were a bunch of xrays, all of them of teeth. Horse teeth. Horse dentist? But what else, out in that barn a saw an old book. It was written in German and had a certain symbol on it. As a kid it was a curiosity. As an adult I'm only left with more questions, and as much as i wish i knew the story of that place, this was over 30 years ago, I'll probably never find out. It was all bulldozed mid 90s. Every once in a while i talk to someone else who went in there but they're all as confused as i am. Wish i knew back then how rare this sort of thing actually is.

Also pause the video at the time of 27.09 and look at the window, above the window on the right of it there looks like a picture of a man on that wall. Also look at the wall facing you on the left side there is a woman and looks like a child standing to her left or the child is on the right of the woman when you look from where your standing.

Yes, definitely Barbara Streisand is a very famous singer & actress. Also, the photos of the women of 3/4 standing together was most likely around 1960s to 1970. Their hairstyles were called Beehives, again....very popular those years ago. Just think of Amy Weinhouse...

    This reminds me of a friend who was telling me how his grandmother outlived her husband and children. She didn't change much in the house but the kids bought her some new things once in a while so she had some more modern things in her house but almost everything else was straight out of the 50s. Because her kids all passed before her and she left them in her will but not the grandkids, they fought over the property and no one won control over it nor could they legally remove anything because they couldn't come to any agreements even on that if the grandkids really valued anything she had which he said they didn't. That house eventually rotted to the ground pretty much destroying everything inside until it mysteriously burned one day which he thinks was either due to a homeless person or one of the grandkids getting even with the others by destroying what remained of the property as several other properties on the land also burned. This struck me as something like that because it had all the story elements like what my friend told me about to explain something he thought was tragic because the grandkids were either too greedy or hated one another so much they refused to let the others have anything from it. They wouldn't agree to any arrangement to sell the property and share the money. But he told me that it was like a snapshot of the old woman last day in the house when she passed which the Christmas decorations reminded me of and made me think this woman maybe died around Christmas maybe as she was beginning to put up her decorations since they looked incomplete? So maybe you have all the same elements here and one persons experience related in a story reflects what you encountered here? Seems to fit at least.

    Very likely, the army veteran that lived here was from WWII, and he repaired electronics. The RCA Victor antique radio might have been intended to symbolize that. The TI monitor below it is just a video monitor; it is not an all-in-one computer as were Apple Macintoshes that would come out a few years later. The device into which the TI game cartridge plugged in is either somewhere else in the house, or somebody took it. The "light bulbs" are actually octal-base vacuum tubes, and this tube form factor was in very mainstream use from the late 1930s through the early 1960s. In one shot, there is also a round TV cathode ray tube on the floor; these generally saw use from the 1940s through the mid 1950s, when rectangular CRTs replaced them. As a historical note, in the 1940s, many teen boys and young men learned to become electronics technicians either by studying to become amateur radio operators or when they joined the armed forces. As network television spread out through the U.S. in the late 1940s and early 1950s, television repair was seen as a very promising career field.
