Every-time I see an abandoned house, it makes me wonder what stories the walls hold inside. There are so many vacate homes that could be returned to it's former glory. The details and craftsmanship that went into building these homes, you won't find many homes today being built with that same quality.

I do the exact same thing

What an amazing looking house..Love hearing that it's not being left to rot and is getting restored..

If you see a top/attic floor finished out in these old houses, it's pretty likely the space was originally intended for live-in servants. If the house also features a "butler" staircase, that's another good clue that the top floor housed servants.

Such a lovely old house. Would love to see it when the renovation is complete.

I love the staircase shot myself. I'm a big staircase fan and i love the style of that one.

The tile is popular again. Love the floors, entryway and addicted to sconces

The third floor was probably where the staff or servants lived hence the "butler's staircase". Great house, great video.

Good observation and Thank You!

Always so professional and interesting to watch. I like the way you give your viewers the time to take in all the interesting aspects of the properties...kind of gives your imagination a chance to run wild thinking what it would be like to have lived there.

So glad they are restoring this one. Hope you get to do an after video!

I love the staircases in old houses. The woodwork is also one of my favorites like the cabinets with the glass in them and the windows in the front entry. but my all time favorite is the old bathtubs. i like the bathtubs that are open on one end instead od walled up. just like this house has. and the tile, no matter how old, always seems like shine like its new. What a great place. glad to hear they re going to be refurbishing it. thanks for sharing.

This is an awesome place. Its great to see it in this incredible condition and with no taggers or no vandalism! Im glad to hear this one will be rescued. The staircase is incredible! I love it and very cool to see down all floors. This house would be worth fixing up to live in. So much potential. It could be a show place!

Beautiful hard wood floors. I like the frosted designed windows. This one will make a beautiful restored house.

What a mansion! So stunningly gorgeous, even with paint peeling etc. You can tell that it all screams elaborate. I'd take it in a heartbeat. Thanks for showing!!

Really like this house. It great it will be restored. Love the stair cases in homes like these.

Yes it's nice to see one that will be restored. I'm amazed none of the floors seemed to have buckled. Maybe it's a testimony to quality craftsmanship.

glad they r renovating it's got a lot more life to give hate when these amazing properties are left to rot.

I really enjoyed this tour of a once majestic house! Homes were built to last back in those days too and the bones prove it. The shot of all those staircases looking down showed the depth and beauty of the architecture. Can't wait for the next tour!

Beautiful house--loved the photo looking from the third floor to the first floor. Also liked the huge bathroom with gray tile. It would be nice to see the house after it's restored!

That one is a nice old house and deserves to be done up, and for the new owners no one has wrecked the place. It looks nice with the old trees around it. I can see many hours with scraper just to get the worst of the paint peel off the place so it can be cleaned. I hope the owners are handy or have friends that can glaze, wire, plumb and repair the roof.

I think part of the reason old houses peel is the lead paint, nothing sticks to it for long. Course you can sand it (a big no no) or scrub it with TSP (which I don't think is available anymore) for some tooth. You either have to strip everything or deal with maintaining peeling paint. In unoccupied houses, I'm sure wild temperature changes don't help. Super pretty house, many thanks for showing it!

@alibabafurball

I think what happened here is they painted latex over old oil based paint. This was common in 1980-1985ish because they didn't have a good etching primer, if they used one at all. TSP is great stuff !!! It isn't the lead in the paint that does this however and not all oil paint contains lead. That yellow color in the paint under the white in the video at 3:50 is very likely lead paint. There is a very white looking paint to that I did not see in the video that uses lead in it for the color as well to look out for. It is very white. Sanding is going to be the key to getting the surfaces back in shape and the plaster walls will love it. They have to in order to fix the minor holes in the plaster due to the water damage anyways. I still have a "milk carton " of TSP powder around. I hope they didn't discontinue that product, it was very good. Oil based paint and water based paint never mixes and you can see the result in this video and others that Steve has. Another one I have seen recently is people painting latex over their melamine cupboards and wondering why later it flakes off.

This is completely off topic, but I don't think people know you should use a different brush for latex and oil. Natural and synthetic are not the same.

The hospital beds were likely institutional surplus, not to store, but bedding for guests or esteemed visitors, maybe medical staff. Highly unlikely that any patients stayed in this house. In Victorian times maybe, but not in the 20th century: Dangerous, conflict of interest, tearing down of boundaries that need to be maintained. Fabulous house. Look at the plaster arches, the beautiful doors, floors, dormers, bay windows. Nice job!

@Kittydoc90

It's my guess that those rooms and beds were probably used by live-in house staff, like a housekeeper, maids or cook, etc. it's a large enough house with an important occupant that live-in staff would be expected. Nice (for once!) to see a beautiful old house that isn't trashed or demolished. Thanks for a nice video!

Those were servants rooms once and in later years it was common in long term care to have a patient fill that role.

I just recently joined your channel , and have really been enjoying your videos. You have a very pleasant voice so you're easy to listen to. That's really important when you're describing the scene or giving some bit of history on the area. Thanks for your time and consideration when dealing with the property of others. A new recruit !

I love this house, i live in an 1800s house in the UK.... The entrance way is called a vestibule, lovely bay windows and big windows, the lights were converted gas, the little round bit in middle was pipe. lovely house. like mine but mines only a 4 bedroom.
