I have seen a lot of.posts abt such abandoned homes. It always intrigues me that people just left a huge part of their lives in those houses and went away, just like that, never to return! I wonder what caused such abrupt moves. Even here there are kettles in the kitchen, as if someone was just making thoer morning coffee.

My parents bought a house in the 80s that was almost 100 years old and had just been "left". It was amazing to rummage through, I still clearly remember all the photos that had been left behind. There were letters, newspapers and clothes. Like a small box that was full of medical supplies from the war - I think she was a nurse. Dad restored the house from top to bottom and left things for others later to find, like 20c in the concrete surround of the oven with the penny he found

I'm genuinely surprised how much furniture remains in the house. And some of it's in mint condition. Heck, the beds still had linen on them. It's like the previous residents just up and left taking only their clothes. You would think people would have looted the "free" antiques by now.

I'm surprised this place hasn't been pillaged.

A view on how the foyer designs were kept pretty close on some of these homes, lower image is from Bryan Sansiveros earlier posting here. https://tinyurl.com/bored-panda comp-5ee86...a2cd3b.jpg

Many of these photos look staged. A lot of items positioned very conveniently and free of dust.

So the new term for one who goes into a private property uninvited to take pictures of a dead mans stuff is no longer "trespasser" but "urban explorer"?

The first thing I'd look for in an abandoned property is the date of the last occupancy. A calendar or newspaper. I saw nothing in these photos newer than the 1980s, but nothing was mentioned. Hard to believe a place would sit untouched for almost 40 years. If this is a legitimate find and not staged as some have suggested more facts are needed.

It is amazing to me that no one steals the items in houses like this. It's such a snapshot of an era.

My inner thrift girl want to rummage every pile and see what can be saved and be given to salvation army or just give to those who don't have enough.

Probably haunted that's why things were left behind

So can you just take things like that if it's an abandoned house?

Those yellow flowers on dresser look real by all of the yellow petals etc. But they wouldn’t be yellow or any still standing if they were real. Seriously looks like they were only a few days old and they made a mess 🤔

Please do not publish the location of this house. There are people that will seek it out and burn it to the ground!

There is beautiful furnishings in there that I would love to have. Just to bad it went to waste. Hope someone gets it that takes care of it

One could only wish some of these items could be taken restored and preserved for museum pieces.

So this is a "Confederate colonel"s house? No: 1) the confederate army disbanded in 1865 and the phone is a 1960s model 2) that ammo box is *not* from an era that used flint muskets confederate army: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_forces_of_the_Confederate_States phone: https://www.loveproperty.com/galleries/95574/secrets-of-a-confederate-colonels-abandoned-dream-home?page=1 (picture 8)

So tired of these staged "OMG look what we found!" photos. Only a dullard would believe this s**t.

A Confederate Colonel that owned a TV?

How is there a WWII photo in a home that was abandoned during the Civil War?

With today's political correctness and history revisionism, expect calls to burn it to the ground.

Not quite sure why you would photoshop in an old ammo box

Very staged. If the fresh flowers didn’t give it away the dust patterns do. If it really were untouched since the 60’s, nature would’ve fully taken over.

Given the current circumstances, I get the feeling that the contributes are trying to get people to target this house to burn it down.

The USA had to be very technologically advanced. They had TV, phones and electricity in the middle of XIX century
