The Magnificent 100 year old Packed Abandoned Time Capsule House Down South in Virginia
Ойын-сауық
This historic old building/ house originally began as a general store for the small railroad town which once was thriving in the late nineteenth century. In the early 1900’s many of the businesses and industries of the area dried up as more families moved to larger cities in search of more opportunity and better pay. This general store was once a bustling hub of the community, after the town dried up the store was converted into a home. The family would live in the home for decades until the final members of the family passed away in the 1970’s and was never moved back in. This place has been sitting crumbling away quietly in the woods for nearly 50 years now. Such a sad old place, glad I was able to document this old home before it’s consumed by nature. Thank you for watching! Like and leave a comment below if you enjoyed the video. Thank you!

These are amazing Kappy. The first house felt sad to me. Someone’s treasures left behind due to them not being able to take them or others just don’t care. Someone’s dreams and happiness left to rot. We’re so thankful for you Kappy that you take the time to bring them to us before they’re gone for good. Both homes are great Kappy. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Stay safe!😊

Why do people just leave houses like that with stuff in them can they not donate the stuff inside I mean I don't understand why a house sits there like that

Why do people just let stuff sit there and rot I don't understand it when they could donate all the stuff inside or let somebody live there you know or something I just don't understand why it sits there full of stuff
I love the quilts! You know Grandma made every single one by hand!

Aye the 1970’s- 1980’s is almost half a century old! For a toy that is somewhat old I’d say😅 thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
Anyone notice the orb floating around in the first house? Isnt that supposed to be a ghost?
I always wonder what it would be like to be transported back in time and experience life at a much slower pace. No highways, no cars just a peaceful quietness and then I realize too, how hard these families had to work just to survive. Thanks Kappy for sharing these Forgotten homes ❤
What a awesome time capsule house. Seeing everything made me smile,as im still a collector of tabloids and magazines and memorabilia from the 70-90s.❤
You could see Mawmaw or Pawpaw following you around the first house. Such a crying shame people let this all go to waste. Sad houses.
First house made me sad. The last resident had a lot of things that were important to them, but there was no one who cared after they were gone. I think it was a nice comfortable home at one time. The second house had a weird layout, but it always amazes me that often with fires parts of the structure can be destroyed but others are almost untouched. Thanks, Kappy be safe out there

@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 With the amount of soot damage, and scorching of the upper door frames and such, most of the contents in the fire house where stored there after the fire. The radiant heat would have lit the cardboard and a bunch of the cloth things up.
So sad to see the owners cherished trinkets just left forgotten in the first house. I agree with you about the creepy doll sitting on top of the hutch. That was definitely a bedroom for girls upstairs just filled with toys and I loved the old quilts on the bed. Stay safe!
Some neat old furniture and glass pieces in the first home. It's sad things were just left to decay as they represented peoples' lives.
I agree with you. The first house had a general store vibe. The second house, had no indoor plumbing, but it had electricity. Both houses are definitely beyond repair, but there's definitely some nice antiques that hopefully do get saved in both.
Kappy that first house had me in tears its a whole lifetime for the family who ones lived there and don't expect it will be there much longer shame about the fire in the second one they were both pretty houses at one time thanks for adding the beautiful countryside as well i love to look at your beautiful country.
What a cool place. So sad that it’s now just empty and forgotten. Sad to see children’s toys and pictures just left behind..
For some reason it made me sad to see the dishes and glasses in the cabinet, as if someone wanted to take them along but couldn't somehow.
Love those old houses
Goodness SAVE those quilts! So many !
Some of that old antique furniture in the first house might be in the exact same place that the original family placed it. Like that beautiful big bed upstairs.
If you look on the left of the screen, at 9:25, you will see an orb on the left heading for the center of the screen. It is not a dust speck as they don't move that fast or in that way. I saw it earlier as well, but I'm too lazy to go find it, lol. I bet it is the little ole lady who had all the knick knacks. It killed me to see all those beautiful antiques rotting away.
I think it sad when people leave their stuff behind in these houses and always wonder why do people leave their belongings behind because you can't replace photos of family those memories are lost forever love both houses kappy great video.

The keeper of the photographs may have been the last in line of the family, alive. Or, estranged from said family, and the persons related have no idea they're here, rotting.

It seems like an old woman died and all her possessions were left to rot. She either was alone or died in the hospital. She had no family left or she was estranged. The adult children never came to the house to clean it out and save a lot of nice antiques She had and family photos.
Did you see a small orb at 3:28?

Loved both of these homes. But especially the 1st one. Mainly because of the antiques. The wall rugs took me back to my Granny's place as a kid. Wish I had them now. They're expensive! The portable record player was exactly like the 1st one I ever had. (I'm old!) I even had a dressing table similar to the one in the upstairs bedroom. Too bad the 2nd one was in a fire. Another great video Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
Holy cow ! That is a time capsule!
Kappy. What a cool old place. With a lot of hard work. I bet the main building could be saved. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Beautiful old furniture in the 1st house. A real beauty. Creepy dolls. Poor 2nd house, victim of a fire and agree about the odd layout. Shame. Another hit out of the park Kappy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow! Can you imagine how much light the second floor in the first house had before the windows on one side were boarded up?? It was probably too warm in the summer, but how unusual and awesome to have so much natural light in a room all day long.
Thank you Kappy. Your videos have become part of my Saturday morning routine. Loved the houses - always a little sad. Thank you for exploring.

Thanks Kappy for the peer into places that were fully busy holding their occupants to hold up for them, but like unsung heroes just get the shaft afterwards. The time of the beginnings to see the endurance of homes that kept and shared secrets. Different things did go on but they do leave evidence that these homes were used a lot, and they gave out do to the ravages of storms and changing times. 👍✅🕸🕷🐇🌿🍃🐿🐈🐕 Sometimes new little residents take a chance for shelter🏡

Fantastic video again, Kappy!!! I always picture these homes in their glory days…. Clean, organized and laughter plus the smell of a delicious dinner cooking. Thank you for letting me use my imagination to visit what I think were happy times
The upstairs bedroom with three beds reminds me of my grandparents's house in KY. Lots of beds with a Franklin stove in the middle.
When the video first started I thought: "Oh, pretty porch!" and then when you walked in: "Let's have an estate sale!". I don't think the first house is sad, it's nice that the last occupant got to stay in their home as long as possible. They loved the place and all their possessions, even if it looks like a cluttered mess to us. I love it, too. There are so many interesting things to see I'll have to watch it a few times. Now, the second one was sad. Thank you for the upload, Kappy! Tell the owner's of the first one they need to have that estate sale, they'd make $$$ 😋
At 3:40 I saw a perfect orb sail by.
First house had some beautiful quilts left. Sad.
All settled in for the explore!
As an almost-Gen Xer, I can tell you that the Snow White Magic Mirror is unequivocally 1970’s.
My husband and I have a large family. We had 3 beds in a big room for our 3 daughters. House was well over 100 years old.

I loved both of these. That first felt like so much like years of living by generations. There were a couple of pieces of needlework I would love to have and those bright quilts remind me of the ones my grandma made in the 70s. Wonder if that second house was turned into a boarding house? So interesting. Thanks as always! ❤

This is a very moving video. Just going thru it with you, I couldn't help but go back in history all thru this house and wonder what happen throughout the years they lived there. So many stories for sure. The burnt home was awful. Hope no one was harmed. Please stay safe and thank you for going that extra mile for your viewers. 🙏💙

They literally just walked away from this place taking nothing. There's SO many antiques in this house from many different eras. I wonder if there were any electric insulators in this house? That's my hobby, but I have a wide knowledge of many antiques in furniture and glassware. I was a brick and mortar store antique dealer in the 80s and 1990s, and now am an online dealer and collector. I see so many valuable things left behind here. Hopefully, if you see any insulators in future videos, you'll include them in your video. Thank you for your videos!

Hey Kappy!! Your first house I saw an orb in the beginning and around the 9 or 10 minute mark. The second orb looked like it wanted you to follow. Weird how some of these old houses decay faster than others. Stay safe and thanks for sharing

Both houses have been through hard times-sad.
I love your content and watch your videos daily. I really appreciate how you move your camera slowly. Videos can trigger migraines or seizures. I appreciate your attention to detail, love the original hardware, kitchens and bathrooms. I once visited a privately owned plantation home in South Carolina which had been in the same family. It had original furnishings, but everything was well maintained. Very few upgrades other than plumbing.
Such marvelous old houses! It is just a shame so much wonderful furniture and whatnots are lost to nature. Some of the stuff I recognized and could connect to readily, put some of the other things I had not seen before. There were so many wonderful photographic opportunities in those houses. My favorite shot was the pink dresser in the second house. It was really strange that that was the only thing left in that room, but the other rooms were piled full! As ever, thank you for sharing your great explores with us.😊

Another great video. I love seeing the treasures that were left behind. It's sad though some of the pieces are highly sought after and are getting hard to find. I hate to see them being left to destruction. It's sad for the people that left them behind, it's as if they just stepped away for a moment and never returned.
Nice find though .I get a good vibe from it.
Thank you k a p p y I appreciate you very much for showing us these beautiful old homes that a lot of us would not be able to see without sharing these beautiful videos also makes think that we're all vulnerable that are Blood Sweat and Tears go into a home and you never know if your little town Ore City fell on Hard Times that you could lose your investment in your home thanks again looking forward to your next video
78 is when I graduated high school
I dunno but I think dolls and old weird toys in abandoned houses are a wee bit creepy for some reason .
Amazing house
omggggg kapppy u did it again buddy i loved itttttttt the bedroom on the first house was amazing and alot of antiques and trinkets they should all go to second hand stores liike good will etc thanks man keep on keepin on

I'm surprised that people haven't taken the antiques,there are so many of them. I know it would be stealing but the house has been this way for how many years? I love old antiques esp. glass ones. C.M.
2:40 that round red pillow to the right on that chair..I recently found that same pillow here in an empty field (except it's grey color). It's not in as good of shape as one on this video, but brought it home and it makes the best seat/chair cushion. Believe it or not. And I still see a lot of things in this house that people would buy. There's people looking for this stuff at yard sales/antique stores. Looks like people who lived here accumulated a lot over time, but it may not be the way they left it. You never know whose gotten in there and done what.?
It does look like a general store with those doors, you are right!
spooky old dolls in both!
Love the two for ones both places old historical places very cool 😎👍
So sad. Life of people reverting back to where it came from. It was a home made from hard working hours and loving relationships of a family.

Great explore,maybe do a nighttime Halloween special
Neat old houses. First one looks abandoned since the 60's and the second one probably at least 30 yrs. I can only assume the owners died and no one wanted any of the stuff left. Such a shame some family didn't at least sell these houses to keep them occupied. In the first house I see the same kind of furniture my mother had in the early 60's when I was a small child.
