Very nice house. Most explorers would not put in the care and effort you do to make a house like this more presentable and better than you found it. Your efforts are appreciated! Thanks Owen 😊
I really love those mid-Century bungalow-style homes of that era. I lived in one when I was a baby until about the age of five (so from 1967 thru 1972). They have a charm all to themselves. I'm getting nostalgic good feelings seeing some of these rooms. They look very similar to the old house we used to live in. Of course, the furniture in our old house had early to late 1960s furniture in it.
This one was interesting Owen. Wallpapers were cool along with flooring and those newspapers. The snakes were used for drafts underneath front door if it’s drafty and windows if air can come through cracks.
Wah, that house is abandoned and her hydrangeas still look better than mine lol. I bet under that cushion there's a place to put a little bit of wood. The stuffed snakes are draft stoppers, but with a sense of humor.
The snakes are draft stoppers for sure. Grandmother had one for the base of the main door for her house....it was an 1830 house and had a pretty big gap under that door.
My JennAir range us a 1994 model, still going strong. Glass cartridges in it makes it look up to date. Same for my refrigerator...2001. I hope they save those appliances. They are making them to break now so new ones are needed.
From Google: A Woodward’s trunk (or Woodward & Lothrop trunk) is a vintage or antique steamer trunk, travel chest, or luggage piece sold by or made expressly for Woodward & Lothrop, Washington, D.C.’s historic first department store (often nicknamed "Woodies"), which opened in 1887.
Cleaning parts of the house instead of just filming the destruction says a lot about how you approach these places. The newspaper collection beside that untouched 60s kitchen makes it feel less like an abandoned building and more like someone’s life got paused. I end up pointing my own camera at old buildings on my channel for exactly that reason!Sometimes the smallest surviving object tells you more than the architecture ever could.
Jeeeez, this looks like a house that is across from my friends house. The man passed first, the wife son after, the house was fantastic, but has sat empty for years. The place sold simply for the size of the plot. It's sad, I knew the kids, they moved to the U.K. because their jobs were sent there.
