I am so confused.

[–]DeepSpaceHomer 46 points47 points ago

Different seasons.

[–]valormorghullis 27 points28 points ago

Seasons are tricky... I still don't fully understand them

[–]c0t0d0 12 points13 points ago

Can't explain that.

Must be God right?

[–]Darkpulse462 6 points7 points ago

[–]Roaning 2 points3 points ago

Ah, ok. For some reason I didn't see the snow in the first one and thought it was taken from the road. Was confused as to the lack of road in the other one.

[–]DeepSpaceHomer 3 points4 points ago

At first glance I thought the snow was water, so I was confused for a bit too.

[–]kineo 2 points3 points ago

At first glance I thought the second picture was to photoshop the winter away and call the fixer-upper fixed... then I realized it was actually just a different season. The house looks better already.

[–]ouaibe 15 points16 points ago

WINTER
not even once.

[–]dahvzombie 3 points4 points ago

Looks like someone got a few of the windows in the meantime too.

[–]h1p1n3 219 points220 points ago

So I bought a house like this. Not as huge and beautiful, but almost as dilapidated. It would have been less of a headache for sure. The house was unoccupied for 20 years. So, stupidly my wife and I buy it on the cheap when we were 24. 3 years later and we now live in a 95% brand new house with a lot of history and quirky old house characteristics. Yes, we have an uneven floor or two, my ceilings are different heights in each room, hell one window is unlevel. Retrofitting new equipment in an old house was hard as hell, but we were able to save a 150 year old house with a lot of old history. The best part was finding all the cool stuff tucked in the walls and all the cool little secrets and history of the house. Looking back, would I do it again? Yes. It was hell, but very rewarding.

Edit: sorry for the late reply, also house was about 150, not 200 years old

I don't have complete before pictures because I am not home for about 2 more days, but here are my flickr albums of it stripped down, and at 75%. And, if you are interested my contractor fuckups.

D'you have any before and after pics?

[–]awesome_nards 13 points14 points ago

Yes! Want! I live in a 93 year old house as well (renting) and I've always thought it might be fun to re do an older house and live with the funny quirks such as uneven floors, the telephone nook, and the amazingly high ceilings you just don't see anywhere.

[–]pYrO1v1aniac 17 points18 points ago

I grew up in a house built by French prisoners of war in 1798. It was all little half floors and half-height rooms, weird smells that came from nowhere, creaks, odd plumbing behaviour, tiny rooms, and finding amazing things in old piles of rubbish in the attic.

[–]eXXaXion 37 points38 points ago

OP must deliver. I want to see verything!

[–]h1p1n3 1 point2 points ago

[–][deleted] 80 points81 points ago

Your mistake was renovating it without doing an 80's style fix-it-up montage.

[–]Stevie_Rave_On 9 points10 points ago

[–]CodesStuff 20 points21 points ago

Back in 2004 my dad bought an old farmhouse in Vermont that was built in 1876 and hadn't been occupied since 1962.

Aside from having to remove the old stone foundation, gut out the interior, put a new roof on all three sections of the house, and remove the porcupine that claimed the basement as her stomping grounds it was great!

We would find newspapers in the walls that were used as insulation, old shoes, farmers almanacs, tobacco pouch clips, eyeglasses, and even some change that have slipped between the floorboards upstairs and found a home above the ceiling.

The best part by far was finding the original owners stash of vanilla bottles underneath the barn when we had to tear it down (for safety reasons), but then again I've always been a sucker for old bottles and railroad fixture thingies.

Did you have to deal with the mouse nests, too?

[–]Electric_Ladykiller 15 points16 points ago

Old houses are the shit. I grew up in my parents' house that was built in 1891. If you dropped a marble on my bedroom floor it would be going 15 miles an hour by the time it hit the wall. A lot of it has been redone, obviously, but it's not without it's charm... the coolest thing we have is a trunk and a box that the original owners left in the basement. It's labeled K. Tanaka... the dude was a Japanese Vaudeville acrobat who married an Irish chick and lived out on Long Island. When I cleaned out the crawlspace for the first time in many years, my dad told me not to touch it so I didn't throw off the vibe of the house.

[–]Realworld 2 points3 points ago

If you dropped a marble...

My dad rebuilt our old house when I was a kid. First thing he did was find the highest floor point and then used a house jack to progressively lift the entire house to that level. Cheap and effective. If you know what you're doing, you'll only need a single 2.5 ton screw jack.

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 6 points7 points ago

And what if you don't know what you are doing? Can I just follow along to a youtube video or something?

[–]beyerch 7 points8 points ago

THIS is what happens if you don't know what you're doing :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT0J0rcJTLo

[–]Realworld 1 point2 points ago

I've done 2 houses same way dad did our old home:

This all presumes your house has crawl space or basement, not a poured slab. It also presumes your house is not J-bolted to foundation, as modern code requires. If the J-bolts are accessible, you can still level a house.

You'll be leveling the main floor; rest of the house comes up with it. Your tools are an Ellis SJ-4 Screw Jack, 4x4 post, misc small tools (carpenter level, hammer, nails), and an assortment of wood blocks, spacers, and wedges to shim the house up from the foundation.

Use carpenter level to find highest point of house floor. That's your datum point; you'll be jacking/shimming rest of house up to that level.

Under house, find main structural beams; they're big, heavy, level, and lower than other structural beams. Main structural beams rest on perimeter foundation and individual, free-standing vertical posts.

Assemble your screw jack and 4x4 post. Choose a too-low main structural beam and associated support point (perimeter foundation or vertical post). Find accessible ground space next to the associated support point.

Measure height from ground to structural beam. Trim house jack post to fit, and put your house jack next to associated support point. Turn jack screw until firmly in place.

Now here's the real secret... DO NOT tighten jack any further. Wait until tomorrow. As house cools overnight and warms in the morning it creaks and groans and resettles itself naturally. It will readjust itself to your house jack, lightening pressure on the jack.

Retighten jack firmly again each day, and house will gradually raise itself up. Gap will appear between main structural beam and house foundation/supports. Fill this gap with wedges and shims.

Proceed around your underfloor space, jacking and shimming. It'll take a month or two. As shim stacks get too thick, replace them with larger blocks. When floors are all level, nail spacer stacks into place with removable double-headed nails.

Store your house jack somewhere dry so it'll still be usable if needed again.

If you're impatient and use heavy jacks to jack everything up level at once, your house will stress, your house frame will skew, your interior walls will crack, and you'll have to patch and repaint.

If you are patient and let your house settle naturally, everything will come up square and level. Old cracks will close, and no new cracks will appear.

[–]beyerch 1 point2 points ago

yeah, that was my house when I grew up. I got snow in my room in the winter though too.

We expanded the basement one year and during hte process of knocking out one of the old foundation walls (stacked rocks, lol), we found a bunch of German Bier Steins!

Now I truly know why the house was always crooked. ;)

[–]crash331 18 points19 points ago

Aside from having to remove the old stone foundation, gut out the interior, put a new roof on all three sections of the house

So...you tore it down and built a new one, right?

[–]TheZor 11 points12 points ago

Hahah, exactly what I was thinking. "We bought an old farmhouse in Vermont, built in 1876! Anyway, we removed the floor, the foundation, gutted the interior, removed all the walls, took out the upper floors, ripped the roof off... The ol' barn? Yeah tore that down... Then we built a house."

[–]CodesStuff 5 points6 points ago

We kept the post & beams and even drywalled around it so they came through the wall. We had to winch the outer walls together going through the house to prevent it from "exploding" and bowing outwards.

We also kept a lot of the lumber and used it for various projects within the house (after cleaning and staining it, of course. It smelled like mouse urine pretty badly).

Edit: I should also note that because the house had been abandoned since '62 it was in horrible shape. We salvaged what we could from it and kept the exterior/siding (save the roof).

[–]fellows 8 points9 points ago

We did this on a 1920s craftsman and found a bag of weed in the ceiling. The owners decided to put in drop-down ceilings at some point (the kind you find in every school and office building) and apparently someone in the household thought it would a great place to hide their stash.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

...did you smoke it? Was it any good?

[–]buildabearsweatshop 1 point2 points ago

After he smoked it, he was at about a 192[7].

But seriously, no such thing as vintage weed.

[–]fingers58 6 points7 points ago

A lot of old houses have what some call a "bottle dump" in their yards somewhere. Since there was no trash pickup and usually no county dump, they buried their empty bottles in a pit (or pits) somewhere in the yard. If you see an old house/barn/etc being torn down and can get permission to dig you can find a lot of really great old bottles.

[–]Cole42N 5 points6 points ago

Sounds a lot like the house in It's A Wonderful Life.

[–]stonus 6 points7 points ago

Secrets?

[–]emlgsh 29 points30 points ago

Yeah, one of the bathrooms has a hidden sub-basement with a giant snake living in it.

[–]Jim777PS3 6 points7 points ago

Stuff tucked in the walls, secrets and history

If horror movies have thought me anything OP found tons of dead bodies

[–]apostre 2 points3 points ago

do the ghosts keep you up at night?

[–]Leifus[!] 2 points3 points ago

Nah, after a few weeks you barely hear their whining screams anymore. Or feel their icy hands coming up through the floor, clawing at your feet. And the messages they sometimes write on the walls in blood make for an interesting interior design.

[–]Abdrei86 1 point2 points ago

my grandparents live in an 500 year old buliding. I can feel the history when I'm there. Low ceilings, thick walls, uneven floors, everything made out of wood....the whole building is just awsome. i like old bulidings but i also like the comfort of a modern home. As a child i would like to grow up in an old, mysterious house, but as an adult i like my modern home.

I have an old axe that's been in my family for three generations now. Grandpa bought it new, and over the years, my father replaced the head, and I've replaced the handle. It's still a great axe!

[–]overly_familiar 38 points39 points ago

I reckon the Harry Potter book titles reflect a mans sex life.

Philosopher's Stone - Refers to your first erections and playing with yourself

Chamber of Secrets - Wonderment of vaginas

Prisoner of Azkaban - First time you put your penis inside a woman

Goblet of Fire - Venereal disease?

Half-Blood Prince - Birth of a baby

Deathly Hallows - Your life is over now

[–]AceJohnny 2 points3 points ago

Really? While the "Chamber of Secrets" and maybe "Goblet of Fire" ones sound believable, you're kind of stretching it for most of them. We humans are good at finding symbolic links where there aren't any.

[–]punkhobo 4 points5 points ago

I would buy the shit out of that house

Oh my god, I think this is the school my grandmother used to attend.

[–]Realworld 3 points4 points ago

From wiki:

Majors of study included art, fashion design, interior design, music, modern languages, literature, history, dance, drama, child development, equine studies, and domestic science. Activities at Bennett included gymnastics, golf, tennis, horseback riding and skiing.

... so it was a prep school for ruling class twits.

Halcyon Hall is scheduled to be demolished in 2012

Our ruling class twits no longer need social skills.

[–]xRedd1tx 41 points42 points ago

[–]leftplusright 9 points10 points ago

I spend a lot of time looking at such pictures. My mind keeps wondering about the lives of the people who lived there. And this was a school for girls. Some of those pictures have the girls/staff in them. I wonder what they did that day or the next day or that year. What happened to them after they left that place and went on with their lives. All of them would have died by now so I wonder what their legacies were.

One my favorite movie, "The Dead Poets Society", has a scene where Robin Williams asks all his students to look at an old picture of boys who were students at the same school in the previous generation. It makes one wonder about the things that happened in the lives of those students.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points ago

Blows my mind that no one was motivated to preserve that.

[–]AlmightyTrees 1 point2 points ago

They tried, man... :(

Halcyon Hall was never reopened and quickly fell into ruin. When the heat was turned off, water pipes burst, causing major water damage throughout the building. Large portions of the roof have collapsed and trees can be seen growing through parts of the building. Halcyon Hall remains in this state as of 2011. Several attempts were made in the 1980s to develop the property but all failed and the title was taken over by Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank[3]. The bank failed in 1991[4] and its assets were seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Halcyon Hall is scheduled to be demolished in 2012[5].

[–]xliezelz 24 points25 points ago

If I had the money, I would totally fix that place up. It looks gorgeous!

[–]Zenith251 36 points37 points ago

It would undoubtedly cost less to simply rebuild it from scratch, especially considering the likely poor state of the frame of the building.

[–]verarschen 12 points13 points ago

Agreed. Even from this distance it seems the dormers in the middle are pulling away from the chimney. Yeah, serious framing concerns there.

[–]freed0rn 15 points16 points ago

I don't agree having done a lot of work with old properties, there is no way you could remove this property and rebuild it using similar materials at anywhere near the same cost of fixing it up. My home is a few years older then that one so I do have some experience in buildings of this age. Also my father is a life long contractor and I could guarantee he could repair this place for 1/3 of the cost of building new. But you could probably tear it down and build low income housing for around the same cost or cheaper.

[–]tordyveln 1 point2 points ago

I second this. I also work with renovating old houses and my father has done it since the seventies.

[–]the_trout 6 points7 points ago

I dunno. Sometimes, there's value in restoration regardless of whether it's cost-effective. In my town, we have a lot of really beautiful Victorians and a huge population of property-rights zealots, which means they just tear them down whenever they want. It's heartbreaking.

[–]porscheman170 10 points11 points ago

Reddit should come together and buy it, fix it up, and have an annual Reddit gathering there!

It's supposed to be demolished later this year. I don't recommend visiting it anymore, the neighbors and cops are ridiculously vigilant and will give you a $300 ticket if you're anywhere near it.

[–]bumblebec 13 points14 points ago

These kinds of old houses and buildings are so beautiful, I always picture what they would've been like "back in the day"... I would love to see more old places restored, rather then being knocked down and replaced with modern homes or units.

[–]bloodyflux 6 points7 points ago

I don't want them torn down or restored. I love going in old, abandoned buildings. It's amazing. If you haven't, definitely try it sometime. (And wear a mask, that asbestos will kill you)

[–]hal14450 5 points6 points ago

Several attempt to redevelop the property failed in the 1980s, and the title was acquired by a savings bank subsidiary. When the bank went out of business in 1991, its assets including Bennett College were seized by the FDIC. An agreement was reached to place Halcyon Hall on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 - however, the town of Millbrook has been working with developers to demolish the building for condominiums.

I don't know how Tyler found that house, but he said he'd been there for a year. It looked like it was waiting to be torn down. Most of the windows had been boarded up. There was no lock on the front door from when the police or whoever kicked it in. The stairs were ready to collapse. I didn't know if he owned it or he was squatting, neither would have surprisde me.

[–]asmel 1 point2 points ago

My fiance and I looked at an old mansion built in 1807. The outside looked decent; it was all brick. The inside was like walking back through time. The old paint was coming off the walls in large curls, but the extensive wood work was stunning and barely had a scratch or nick in it. The front doors were massive. The house was magical. This was before we were engaged and were going through an uncertain time. Every time I drive by that house I could cry that we didn't get it.

[–]patternfall 1 point2 points ago

From wikipedia:

When the heat was turned off, water pipes burst, causing major water damage throughout the building. Large portions of the roof have collapsed and trees can be seen growing through parts of the building.

No way could this building ever be saved. It may be hauntingly pretty, but it's coming down one way or another.

[–]owlssupahfan 1 point2 points ago

My cousin traded one gold coin for a barn that was built in 1760 in Rye NH, hes been slowly taking it town the last few years, saving the wood, and going to build his dream house out of it. The last few months ive been helping him and its been amazing dealing with the old wood, its extremely valuable because of the way it was cut and the age and whatnot, apparently cabinet makers and others that deal with wood go crazy over it. Anyways we've found crazy sutff in the cow troughfs and in the corners of the house. Gold from King George time in England, they use to put gold coins in the corners of the barn for good luck. I also found an old toy cap gun from the 40's and returned it to the original owner. Good stuff all in all

I think we should send Daniel Radcliffe there for a sleep over first, just to test the water.

Is that the house from Amnesia?

[–]Ruleroftheblind 0 points1 point ago

Not if you're a ghost.

I feel like one well placed rock would bring the whole thing down.

For your sake, I hope it doesn't!

Hello I'm called the caretaker or the doctor or "Get off this planet" although strictly speaking the last one isn't exactly a name.

can anyone find more pictures from different angles maye even blueprints?

[–]Ughyouagain 0 points1 point ago

i looked at that pic an instantly saw the beauty it was and still could be

[–]smokecat20 0 points1 point ago

There's still plenty of walls on that structure. You take this home, install some new windows, add some paint, and a lawn... baby you got a house going!

[–]desthc 0 points1 point ago

This just makes me sad. A house that grand and beautiful deserves better than to be abandoned like that. If I only had the money!

I live a few minutes from this abandoned school. It caught on fire some time ago (not sure if anyone was in it) but now it is considered haunted by the locals. I've been inside, real creepy place.

About 8-9 years ago, some friends and I were driving around Millbrook (I'm from Poughkeepsie) on a random summer night, and someone decided that we should check out Bennet College. I was opposed, because quite honestly, the place scares the shit out of me. So we're in a Jeep...top down, doors off...and we pull into the front entrance. It's pitch black out, just the headlights, and this giant ominous building in front of us. We're like 10 feet away. And I'm like, "Ok, this is creeping me the fuck out. This is how horror movies begin." And now you know, I'm a wuss.

That house looks amazing. I want to spend the night in there.

[–]valupaq 0 points1 point ago

There is a really cool old Sears-roebuck catalog house near me that a bunch of punk kids tore up on the inside. Beautiful two story with live in attic. The framing is an awesome sight to see for a carpenter. So intricate. Self supporting beams and such. On the other hand, its also scary as hell!!

[–]Nyghtshade 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of the house in "The Woman in Black". Make sure your town doesn't have an abundance of child deaths each year...

It reminds me of the house from American Horror Story! Good show, for anyone who hasn't watched it.

So I stared at all the windows trying to see if there was any ghosts... I'm disappointed, you need to get one with those

I rented a house in Ottawa that had all the original doors and locks with the Skelton key to lock them.

Maybe if Doc patented the his after market time travel kit and mass produced them for DeLorean he would have more money for household upkeep.

[–]matty2x4 0 points1 point ago

What a shame... That house was absolutely beautiful when it was built. Tragic for it to go without maintenance for so long...

Fixer-upper? More like tearer-downer, amirite?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Geeze... is that a kid in a blue shirt standing next to the middle chimney, with, like, someone (possibly Albert Einstein) coming up from the other side of the roof?

[–]mkultraman 0 points1 point ago

I see you and raise you a bigger fixer-upper fit for a king!

[–]ravelmo 0 points1 point ago

I misread that at first and thought the caption was fucker-upper...which I thought was much funnier, but that's probably just me.

[–]LettersFromTheSky 0 points1 point ago

I would totally fix that house if I could.

[–]ConcreteClown 0 points1 point ago

Throw a big machine gun on that deck and it's the mansion at the end of Swamp Fever in L4D2.

[–]Zombies_hate_ninjas 0 points1 point ago

so post apocalyptic, like something out of Fall Out 3. Quick check inside, there could sweet loot in there.

[–]Danfhoto 0 points1 point ago

There is an Inn (Colonial Inn) in the small town I live in. It is very old for the United States- I think it was built originally in the mid-to-late 1700s, but sources say it was actually built in 1830. Anyway, the owner bought it to repair and reopen, he applies to permits to fix it which are denied and the Town of Hillsborough keeps citing him for "demolition from neglect."

It's sad to see history rot away. It was Condemned early this week.

[–]Elli8t 0 points1 point ago

Its haunted. Super-Haunted.

Throw some dual pane windows on there and itll be good to go. Might even get the tax credit for efficiency.
