It became quite popular in the 70's for intercom systems such as that one. From the kitchen, Mom could call to all the rooms of the house. You could also play music through them. It was kind of a middle class mark of prestige to have one of those systems.

the original house was spectacular...the fireplace...the stairs....especially the upstairs, that truly dated that part of the house....AWESOME!

That 1950's pink tile bathroom was cool

love the pink bathroom & the view from the blue bathroom.

Very nice home. I hope that there were some happy memories there. It's kind of sad with how houses fall into disrepair when nobody no longer lived in them. I'm 33 now and the home that I lived in when I was 13 is in terrible condition and when we left it was beautiful.

I lived in a home with an intercom system. The home I lived in was built in the early fifties and the intercom system was added in the early sixties. Intercoms in homes were popular during the time. They provided a way to find someone in the house without screaming your head off.

I enjoy that you narrate the video!

It is common for developers to intentionally break all the windows and break all the doors so that the elements will destroy and compromise the building. The argument is the house can't be restored due to the extensive damage and they then get a permit to knock down. Often times it's on historic houses or buildings that some historic group wants to preserve. So developers open it up to the elements and after a couple years the building is done.

Doesn’t appear to be a development and a lot of the windows are boarded up, not to mention the liability whoever owned it would face, leaving it open to the elements, just punk ass kids vandalizing, not all of them spray paint, especially if they wandered upon it.

When I was younger, our house had an intercom system. It was a three story house so my mom used it to call us to dinner without having to yell or run around.

some very cool features. Love the dark wood and upstairs rooms! Thanks Steve!

That pink bathroom is pretty ..in pretty good condition too compared to the rest of the house

Great tour! Love the music that went with the photos!

i love how your videos have description on the houses.. after each video i wld check at wiki for more.. but you already have it!! 👍

Wow! A pink tile bathroom is so cool, with modern wallpaper. I would never put a sliding glass door in a bathroom , must have been a mistake. Eventho it is not the best house, it's a shame they are destroying it for more stores. The site was beautiful!

Wow to go from a dark horror film like older part of the house right into a pink bathroom surreal wow! hahaha!!

Hi Steve, I can actually tell you a little something about this house. I'm a retired Federal Express courier and was all over Delco in my time with the company. You are right when you guess this was a business. The owner was an architect and he ran his firm out of the house. I met his wife and he was actually the fellow who designed the plans for the homes, businesses, etc that they want to build on this parcel of land. She was delighted as she and her husband were going to live in one of the new townhouses they designed. I don't know what became of them as that was about 8 yrs ago and nothing has been started yet on that tract of land ( they were both in their 6o's at the time ) Also the second floor is called a railroad car design where you go from one room into the next. That's the first home I have ever seen in this area, but there are loads of them at the South Jersey shore. My Grandfather had one and my family bought one when I was a teenager. Very common there. Look forward to your next video!

It looks to me like that top floor was a self contained apartment or was going to be one, as the big room at the top looked like a large living area then there were bedrooms and bathrooms leading off from there with a kitchen at the one end. That is what it looked like to me anyway. I really liked the house, lots of storage and really cool recesses. I bet it was beautiful in its day.

I can visualize what this house looked like when it was lived in and cared for. I would really love to have this house but unfortunately, I'm sure it's probably gone by now. My husband owns his own construction company and he liked this house as well. If it's still standing, we would buy it, he would get his crew together and restore it. Gosh, that was such a lovely home to a family. I hate seeing it in that uncaring neglected condition. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting house

Did anyone else notice the "bigfoot nest" down by the pond? Wish you'd have gone down and explored it.

I don't think the intercom system necessarily proves that it was being used as a business. I think it would be pretty normal for a house that size to have an intercom, just so family members can find and communicate with each other. When I was a kid we lived in a regular four bedroom ranch house, that had an intercom system. We mostly just used it to pipe FM radio through the house. I'm sure residents of a house like this could make good use of an intercom.

I think this house would have been rented out, the upstairs would have been a full rented set, with a kitchen, room and bathroom in one. That's my thought. I don't know about the downstairs, but it had the same look with some kitchen cupboards.

Great house..... Great video! My only suggestion is that when filming the inside of the house start from an outside door and go through the house in a logical order ..... this way as a viewer you can picture the layout of the house in your mind better. Keep up the great clips!

Video!👍✌

"Take only photographs.Leave only footprints"...

gave me the chills.. dead energy in there.. low lite.. and damn hope you are ot claustrophobic sittin in that bathoom on a toilet tucked so far in with walls so close.. thank for sharing your travels with me..

It seems like a house a family once loved and now it's sad. I loved all the built ins, but can't agree about the paneling, makes a room dark and claustrophobic to me. Maybe the bathroom with the sliding doors was to accommodate a claustrophobe who needed open spaces and two exits. I preferred it to the pink bathroom with the garish wallpaper. It is heartbreaking to think of the flora and fauna that will be destroyed or have to retreat due to development and impermeable cover.

very nice and cool location steve. Greetings from Holland. i went to a abandoned railway bridge today with nice nature but the nature at this house looks maby even more cool. then the nature in Holland keep it up. i must say the house itselve feels a bit negativ maby just my feeling like something bad happened there.

The exterior would have looked nice before it got run down but the old part of the house gave me the creeps.
