So sad-- this home should have been on the national registry of historic homes. Vandals suck big time. Thanks for documenting this old beauty before all trace of it was gone.

Just gorgeous though - so sad that it's gone - that room with all the shelves in it - a lovely library with a fireplace! - but as you said, the grounds - just breathtaking and so expansive - you're right - it will all be cardboard cutout copy subdivision houses after this or some boxstores. what a sad end to a beautiful historic house and all the trees and loveliness it once had.

I can never understand the mentality of a vandal. SMH. Lovely old home ought to have been preserved. At least, no "development" ought to exist there. We humans destroy and waste so much. Anyway, thanks for showing us this once lovely home.

P.S. It appears the last owner was too old to live alone, for whatever reason. Be aware, this happens to too many people who have not left a legal will. Someone did a great job of cleaning out the meaningful items of the last owner. BEAWARE! If you own any property, get a will! Even if your in your in your early 20's. Get your will. Forgive my typo's. Stay safe, everyone!

I really wanted to thank you on your discretion on all your video's that may have obscene graffiti...it is much appreciated ! I really like all your video's and look forward to more of them in the future !

The property is so beautiful❤️ Great first Fireplace I saw. Awesome ceiling light in bathroom off of kitchen. WOW on the Storage Spaces Everywhere! Any idea when this was built? The more large trees the Developer would keep would mean more money for each house they put in there. BUT I doubt they will take the time to make plans to maneuver around them for a housing development. Thank you for showing us this Beauty before it’s Gone.

That house looked much bigger than what you showed of it.I think you missed the secret rooms behind the bookshelves.

Been binge-watching your videos lately. Hope to see more sometime in the future. Love your narration and watching history in each of your videos. EDIT: I also have to mention how much I appreciate your respect for the places you present. Very admirable. Thanks for sharing these.

When I moved to my neighborhood 36 years ago on LI,NY there where lots of small homes with large property,they have since torn them down and built MC MANSIONS close together,the owners go in their garages and you never see them again only when they leave in the morning , we used to have a neighborhood where the kids played together and people at least talked to each other now nothing,VERY SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

House was well built and extremely insulated since you cannot hear the road noises inside the house. Great bones - house was built to last what a shame.

I believe the little kitchen like room next to large kitchen was usually called a "butler's kitchen" in these older houses. That house was a beauty!! Such a shame vandals feel it is appropriate to damage property whether it be vacant, abandoned or still lived in.

I read about this several months ago in our local paper. I sent the article to Abandoned SC as I follow him as well. My heart aches when I see the destruction of history like this. The virtual crap they build these days will never last as long as this beauty. The craftsmanship has been lost and that garbage chipboard is in. Don't you just wish you could catch these vandals in action? BTW nice to see a photo of you! :-)

Even in Canada, money is more important than people and history

Lovely tour but sad. I loved that pearl tile too. It's a shame nobody bought it and restored it. Thank you, for the tour!

Just wanted to say, my hubs and I, we love your explores! Nice to see a face with the voice. Are you planning to keep exploring? You do an awesome job. Thank you for sharing with us all.

That kitchen was insanely big for the rest of the size of the house and rooms! Thank you so much for sharing.

Shame the tress couldn't be protected either. It drives me nuts when people chop down trees willy nilly. My neighbours moved in then quickly chopped down two lovely old trees which gave privacy and noise reduction, I could throttle them :-I

How sad… Thanks for once again taking us with you on on one of your adventures! You're awesome!

Even as the house was, it was still so beautiful. I bet in its day it was loved and well taken care of. It is a sad reality though of these Beautiful homes that could be fixed up being replaced by cookie cutter houses, condominiums, and malls. All for the sake of profit. Thank you for doing this home.

Hello from a neighbor to the South in Western New York. Beautifol building! Thank you for being respectful with the profanity. Vandals seem to have no respect for the beauty of this place. The shelving was amazing! I could see it holding tons of books. That was an old water pump in the basement. Probably used befors any municipal water systems. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

It's always so sad to see these beautiful old houses destroyed. I really appreciate your respect and admiration for the architecture and history. Thank you for documenting and sharing this manor with us.

Tiki I'm so happy to see your videos again. Your filming and documentation are best and your narration is always so interesting, So sad to see another historical home being so horrifically vandalized and now demolished. There's no interest in preserving these beautiful homes of the past, and one day, I imagine people will look back and wonder, "Why?"

Love all the book shelves. How cozy it must have been, with the fireplace and all. And thanks for sparing us the profanity.

I really enjoyed being able to see inside this place. Thanks for getting it filmed before it is gone.

I just can't understand why people have to vandalize these beautiful old homes!!!

Great find! Loved that old tank in the basement. Great character with the rivets all showing. Thanks for taking the time.

I will never understand what causing destruction does for a vandal. If they were to have their personal items vandalized the way that they destroy others things maybe they'd think twice about coming into someone's home or even these abandoned homes and just ripping them to shreds. Thanks again for the video, I had actually not seen this video when I found your channel. So I had watched almost all of your other videos and refreshed the page and here it is. I'm actually in the middle of watching, but I got so furious that I just had to come and put some words down before the escaped my train of thought. This was such an amazing home. Everything about the architecture of the place I loved. Such a shame for whatever reason it was abandoned and got into this shape. It makes me so very sad. Love your video, thanks so much for showing us these lovely structures.

Pam this is one of my favorite finds so far. I love all the books shelves and storage that house has. I'm sure it was a grand house when people lived in it. I wish they would let habitat for humanity go in and save some of the old wood work, windows and anything that could be used again. Thank you for taking your time and money doing these videos I look forward to each one you do.

It,s always a pleasure to watch your videos Thank you very much, Be safe in your travels.

Thank you for posting the link to the newstory about the history of the house, it was nice to see the photos of the house in its glory. I think the owners when they sold it 'presumed' the next owner would respect the place like they did, so sad the the didnt have it registered to protect it before they sold it. That was a grand house, and it perfect shaped in 2009. (The house of shelves, is my favorite now :) )

This is one of the saddest ones I've seen in terms of how well appointed and up to date the house was. Such a gorgeous manor that's in good shape structurally speaking, it's such a shame it got demolished :(

love the large post at top of stairs! all old door handles! hope they were saved. thanks for sharing!💜

Another great video, thank you. Live the link to the article too, as it shows some pictures of how it used to be, with many books! I did my first exploration of a old abandoned swimming pool, situated on a holiday camp in the UK, I was in their taking photos and I was discovered by two employees of the holiday site and escorted out and security was called. I explained i just wanted to take photos and they found it quite amusing, but I felt awful for the rest of my holiday and very guilty (another employee let me in as told him I was interested and I was so worried he would get told off, even though I told them I found my own way in, I was worried they would check the security tapes and see him let me in) so ever since I'm back to just exploring with you as it's safer and I don't get the horrible guilty feeling I still get when thinking about my summer holiday! So a big thank you, for allowing me do explore safely from my iPad! X

Very sad story for a house that was built to last much longer, Solid foundation what a loss.

I like the way you said, 'box after box', because houses now have no heart. they are just places for people to be. There was a time when a house was a big part of a family, and it told it's story. Even when no one lived there, you can/could feel history. Stories untold. I've watched all your vids over the last couple of years, well done.

It is such a beautiful home and the property is gorgeous, the birds are just singing and the pond is so peaceful. I love the patio. The good outweighs the bad in watching these kind of videos but it just breaks my heart to see that gorgeous staircase torn apart, do they not have any beauty in their hearts? Wow! I love all of the shelves and that rounded couch, I could probably fill all of those shelves up! with books and other things.

I am from London, Ontario and would see this beautiful house between the trees while driving down the Fanshawe rd. The history and beauty of the land was amazing. It was disappointing to drive past one day to only see the house was completely gone... I thought maybe someday I'd tour the property as you did. I was hoping to one day see the home being restored, and wondering why the house had been neglected, although the time I was too young to know it had been purchased by developers. A few years ago I watched this video and searched deeper online as to why the house had been taken down, but the property still remains the same after all this time, the trees actually are protected! Such a shame it was too late to save the incredible house, now the property just sits. Love this house, Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for several things... for documenting this house (I know where it stood) for the censoring the graffiti (my kids watch these too) and for your gentle reverence in exploring these places. I've seen photos of when the last couple lived there and it's heartbreaking to think of how much would have gone on there and now it's just gone cookie cutter houses and sidewalks... new trees and plastic now

Thanks so much for answering, & so quickly!! I will check it out, for sure!! Just love your videos & always turn them on to everyone! Take care & be safe! God speed

I felt some anticipation when you made the statement that you'd "missed something"...and you were right. I was waiting to get a look at that upstairs screened in porch. It didn't look like there was a door anywhere in the rooms you looked at (well, that one entire room was blocked out due to the porn graffiti) but I sure had my heart set on seeing that upstairs porch. Out here, in California, there are a lot of screened in porches (Florida rooms, etc) but they are mostly on the ground floor. Its rare to see an upstairs "sleeping porch" and was so looking forward to it. Well, I'm sure there's a lot on your mind when you're in an abandoned place, like who or what might jump out at you, if an angry owner or cops will show up, etc. so it's not that big of a deal. It's more heartbreaking to see a glorious home like this being trashed and ultimately demolished. I don't understand what is wrong with people, so casually eliminating history only to replace it with literal garbage structures that no one is even going to care about when they are torn down in 20 years. So very sad. I don't see why the property owners didn't just restore the house, get it on the national registry then rent it for an ungodly amount of money like they do some houses here...then downsize the lot by selling parcels while saving the original home. It may be about money, but some people let greed make them utterly stupid...apparently. This house didn't have to go and if someone had played it smart, it wouldn't have been demolished. Dumb, greedy jerks!

that pump you saw was an old piston pump for the water system. it was the type used prior to modern deep well pumps or jet pumps.
