The Abandoned Victorian Farmhouse That No One Has Touched in Decades

All right, what's going on guys, take a look at this beautiful old abandoned house we have right in front of us. We're going to go inside here today and we're going to check this one out. We're going to head on inside and take some pictures, do a video walk through and see what this beautiful abandoned house looks like from the inside. Let's go. Okay guys, here we go, we're inside and you can get a nice look here at what I'm guessing was like the living room. Nice French windows, crown molding pretty nice looking house guys, you've got the nice medallion here from the light fixture, looks like original windows hardwood floor nice looking place guys, super nice looking place, looks like we've got a couple of bedrooms here, nothing in them though, on we go into the kitchen more like probably dining room I think, I don't know actually because the kitchen's way back there so maybe this was the dining room here and this looks like it probably had a wood stove so maybe this was like a living room area, I hope maybe I'll be able to find some pictures online from over the years, we'll see if someone somebody lived here so we can kind of put the pieces together guys to figure out what room was used for what, pretty good light in here though eh, looking good, I like it, that's where we'll go upstairs in a little while, there was some kind of a thing on the wall here, I wonder if we could make up what that was, hmm, bathroom storage, so like I said I believe this here is probably the dining room and I say that because this right here is the kitchen guys pretty small kitchen there's your side door let's go upstairs all right we'll head up these stairs and then we'll come down the other stairs just a few rooms up here guys a lot of light in this room though three nice big windows lots of light two bedrooms up here just a small room right here big window here lots of dead flies and another bedroom here lots of nice light in here here's an interesting feature there's a hole in the floor here probably from when there was at one point a pipe that came up here from the wood stove to heat the house but they eventually boarded over it because they didn't need it here are two photos that were found laying around here on the floor looks like just a dad and a little one and mama and a little one right there there's a bathroom here not much to see oh i left my sunglasses in here and that's it and then we go down these stairs and it takes us back to what i originally thought was the living room okay guys i'm hesitant to do this because i don't like to do this but we will check out the basement even though i'm pretty sure it's probably just nothing but we'll go down and check it out since we're here together but i don't think there's going to be anything down here nothing nothing very damp down here oh that's it as usual guys there's nothing in the basement out here on a quiet country road one house is still standing while the farms around it disappear this is the William Brignall house in the mid-1870s William Brignall built the first part of this home a red brick farmhouse at the edge of his fields a few Few years later, in the early 1880s, a new owner named John Toole expanded it into the T-shape you see today. The kitchen wing at the back came later, probably in the early 1900s. Look closely at the brickwork. Those cream-colored buff bricks set into the red were laid on purpose. Coins running up the corners, rounded arches over every window, and a checkerboard pinwheel tucked under the front peak. Then there's the woodwork, with carved bargeboard dripping from the gables and delicate fretwork along the veranda. This was a working farmhouse, and someone still wanted it to be beautiful. You'll notice two front doors. They're a clue that two families, or two generations, shared this house at the same time. In the 1970s, the province expropriated thousands of acres of farmland here for a planned city that took decades to arrive. Many of the homes simply emptied out. Now that city is finally being built, and the old farmhouses are vanishing one by one. This one survived because in 2018 it was designated a protected heritage property. Its doors are boarded now. The fields around it are becoming streets. But for now the Brignall House still faces the road the way it has for 150 years. A last reminder of the farm country that came before. Okay guys there you have it. That's what this house looks like on the inside. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Lots of nice natural light and I'm hoping that I was able to find some pictures of when it was lived in so that we can see how it was decorated how it was done up and how it was used so my guess here guys is this whole neighborhood it's going to be developed and there's about four houses on this whole street that are probably um considered heritage property so they can't be torn down and they have to be reused somehow or reincorporated into the subdivision so time will tell guys what's going to happen with this house and the other ones up the street so you guys know what to do drop a like drop a comment share the video and if you're here for the first time and you like abandoned houses just like this one hit that subscribe button follow the channel gotta go guys see you next time peace
