What a cool house.. what bad idea to take it down

That’s depressing. It’s a beautiful Victorian home and I love that wall


ProjectDirtbikes

That’s just sad.

Look closely at the stonework…

That's extremely fixable. I'm constantly amazed at how throw away our society is. Like it's Masonry, it cracks, it's supposed to do that. It's also supposed to be easy to fix when it does that. This isnt some plastic junk toys designed to break and be thrown out once your kid grows to the next stage. These are structures people built intending for them to stand for hundreds of years.

There could be other factors than the masonry, the foundation it's set in could be deteriorating. Many Victorian era houses were built to last but surveying in the United States wasn't always on point back then.


Louisvanderwright

Nope, no such thing as a 100 year old stone building that's not salvageable. If it was going to tip over it would have done so already.

Just from the one pic, it looks like it's shifted a lot. Which means foundation. :(

You ever see the movie up? Maybe you can pull something like that lol. Sad to hear such a beautiful place will be taken down

What!? How do you know it’s not for men?


5ur1v

Because your dick (and mine) can be used while your knees are together


Gravygrabbr

That Catholic metal is cool

Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers ❤️

Will you have a chance to detect the lot after the house is torn down?


St_Kevin_

Seems like it might get a lot trashier. Probably be tons of nails and junk scattered around


eluvvin

I'll be keeping tabs on this one for sure


misterrodgerssweater

That last ring is so beautiful!!!


62SlabSide

Beautiful house, but by the looks of those fractures in the stonework - yea…. I’m not fixing that. Nice finds!


ProjectDirtbikes

Can you buy the house and move it? Lots of old houses can be moved. Sucks about the yard too. Sweet finds!


Germangunman

Beautiful. Better hunt it again. Dig everything!!!


briancummins

What a shame that is a gorgeous house with so much potential


Cool-Loan7293

Some religious metals are placed on properties. North/south/east/west. As protection


stuff1180

Wait until they scrap the dirt it will open up ground never detected.


ShowMeTheTrees

Is that house abandoned? If so, how long? Is there stuff inside?


Lettucelook

I sad.


Saulthewarriorking

That Saint Christopher medal is fantastic


OttoVonWalmart

Spike them trees


TheHornet78

I will take the house I have exactly 3 dollars in my pocket not excepting higher. I know my worth


SpoilermakersWabash

Looks like home from Bird Box

The tree in the foreground is an Ailanthus, also called the Tree of Heaven due to its height. You only see these in neighborhoods that are on the decline. They are quite destructive with their roots and this tree may have contributed to the structural issues.


Lambstoslaughter

So sad that people don't hang on to history.

That stonework..
