Urbex | Exploring Abandoned City House - Untouched with Cool Staircase

Exploring Abandoned City House - Pennsylvania

Built in the early 1900s, this large house was part of an institution and was the home of the superintendent. When the institution closed in the late 1900s, this house was vacated as well. The institution was bought by a private buyer in the mid 2000s but the sale did not include the land this house resides on. The State of Pennsylvania still owned this house until recently when a preservation group acquired it. They are actively fixing the place up and it will be a museum showcasing the history of the institution it belonged to. This house was vacant for over 20 years and since it was well protected by the state, it has probably one of the best looking interiors I have seen for over 20 year of vacancy. I was given permission by the preservation group to tour this house, so that is why you are seeing this video..

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

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'm glad they're fixing up that marvelous old home.

This house will be beautiful when restored! I love the leaded doorway!

[zipshed]

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!

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

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!

[tamararohlin]

it is so great that they plan to restore this home. I'm sure it will turn out great and it will add to the ambiance of the forthcoming museum.

[LauraTuller]

My favorite shot is definitely the staircase looking down. Your vids are always wonderful.

My second time viewing this house, I just love the huge spacious rooms. This house certainly has lots of elbow room for a large family. I just love it

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.

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!!

[crittert]

Wow, a beautiful old house that is going to be saved - don't hear that too often. Thanks Steve🎈

[vonniek]

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.

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.

What a beautiful house! It's also great to know that it's not going to be left to rot as many old houses are and that someone will be fixing it up to it's original glory. Thank you for posting this Steve!
