Welcome back everybody to the Bros Of Decay,
I'm Lesley behind the camera today again, my lovely friend Danny and we
are filming again a wonderful time capsule in the United States in
the state of Connecticut this time. Look at this place, which has been
abandoned we believe since the 1990s and we're going to show you
the house of the Otto family. The only way into the house is through the
basement, okay, you ready for this man? - Yes. Let me turn on your light so
you see something in there, okay the basement is very narrow,
so watch out with your head, I know you're a little bit shorter than
me, I'm a Dutch guy so I'm pretty tall. But uh yeah welcome into the basement, a little
brief thing we are right now in the north of the United States and it's very common in the north
of the United States for houses to have basements. But the other houses that we saw in the south
of the United States all don't have basements. I love the natural exposed stone that
they use to construct his basement with, is this some sort of limestone you would say? - I wouldn't say Limestone. It's not limestone that's true, here we have a little thermometer and I
promised Danny that we're gonna go to an area where it's less cold, but as you can see it's
32 degrees Fahrenheit or -4 degrees Celsius today. So it's freezing! - Yeah. Okay let's go through this basement, and see if there's anything interesting in here
before we go to the upper floors. I find this also very interesting, here's
the pump for the house so they had a little water well here and they pumped all
their water from here into the house. I am just curious what they did with this basement, but
I think it was just used for General storage. Some bottles of cider vinegar
here that are all empty, they look like wine bottles that you would find
in mansions and houses in Portugal and Italy. And of course jars, yeah "ball ideal"
probably the mother of the family would use these to make jams and other things
and preserve things over the years. - Oh, I love these diner chairs. Yeah, these are these 1960s 70s
vintage American dining chairs, oh, when I see this they
remind me of American diners. - Yeah yeah. That's the style of them with the Chrome
and with everything, absolutely love it. Okay, not much more to see in this basement, time to take that stairway to the top
floor and show you this magnificent house. I have to really crutch in here
and you're just standing upright. - Yeah I'm just standing up. I'm small I know! I think we are just big! Okay, let's go up. This is the story of the Otto family,
originally they were from The Netherlands, but with the advent of the Second
World War tensions grew in Europe and they decided to move to
the USA to start a new life. Here they would build a dream house in
the state of Connecticut in 1940 and conceived their last child, Spencer,
with a caring father a loving mother, and 3 beautiful boys the family was complete. After living in the house for many decades the
older brothers both moved out, but the youngest child Spencer never left, he became attached
to the house, unfortunately, he became too old to keep up the house, which led to its early
decay when he was still living inside of it, Spencer was forced to move out and live in a
care home where he still resides to this day. The home has stayed abandoned ever since he left it behind, Every now and then Spenser will revisit
the house and relive his former memories. Today we will take you inside and
tell you the story of their lives. Lesley Reads Note: "Door, stairs, getting tours
boxes and cabinets and trash", again we see some notes on the wall we saw
there's also in some other houses in Europe and also in the United States, but I think
it has to do with memory loss over time and the children probably put these notes
down here just to help their parents find everything in the house and know their way
around the house when they have dementia. I promise you this is the only room that
looks like this, but this used to be the dining space of the house, and as
you can see it's a complete mess. But here I want to get into the story,
the house was deteriorating at one point, Spencer still left here with his wife
and they just had to move out because they didn't have money for a restoration,
they didn't have money to clean up the house and they moved out to a retirement
home to live out the rest of his life. Spencer is now old 84 years old, he
still comes here just to be with the house and be with his memories, but he
doesn't have the power and strength to fix up this place or even sell it
and that's just very unfortunate. Some dried leaves, they look
like the children might have collected them in the forest behind
the house and made this nice display. Oh, look at this lid that we have
over here, it's also quite beautiful! Okay, what do we have over here? Some
broken glass and yet again you can see "Lesley reads the note", it looks
like an inventory of some sort. - Yeah, maybe the children
made an inventory of the house. It might have nothing to do with dementia. Display cabinet with still some nice things
in there, but then you come into the kitchen and you can definitely see this
house has been constructed in the 1940s by the parents of
Spencer, by the Otto family. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the mother
and father, but they constructed it and Spencer was born yet at that point when the house was
finished in the 1940s and he's now 84 years old. A lovely dining space for the
children and a family that lived here. I'm quite intrigued by this chair, I love
these chairs, yeah, but this looks like a painter's chair of some sort because
you can see all the smudges on there. I love how it collapses out of there, yeah
it's definitely a painter's chair I would say, like being on here painting the
house or something like that. We don't have similar chairs like that
in Europe they're typically American. I see you nodding your head, I have not seen them. - I've seen it close to it, but it's collapsing. Wonderful, what do we have to this side? Another
lovely table, just a little dining table I would say, or just a little side table with some things
still on there, the painting and everything. And then for the kitchen itself,
everything is Left Behind I love the built-in cabinets
and walls of this kitchen. We have this very particular and unique Style. "Lesley reads the note", Okay this is just an inventory
of the house that they did. - Yeah. And they just checked out everything and
maybe for the division between the children, I love this little cabinet as well the
iron board is still in here and everything, so they use this for that purpose. And even
Danny, have a look in here all the dishes when Spencer last lived here
are still left in the sink. And all these viles put down behind here, what do
we have, hot fuel proof orange yellow with dane, I just love the look and style of
these viles that we have behind here, they look pretty vintage I would say. I haven't pointed out this
lovely scale back here as well, the little display in there it's
not visible anymore, they can still see it moving it still functions,
those things they never break down. The whole ceiling collapsed down falling over
here, it's covering everything in dirt and debris over those years, I see something from my home
country in between the rubble, Dutch Masters, love the name of course. But this is a cigar box and back then when
they finished something like that they would just keep it for storage, this is a very typical
depiction of Dutchmen as you can see with the hat and with the uniform and everything,
pretty common depiction from the 1700s. And then back here we have the stove for the
mother of the family used to cook all the meals for their children and the husbands, I'm just in
love with these American stoves, love how they designed it with the wood styling in there, the
knobs, they're just so beautiful I would say, wow! Then here at the beginning, we have the front door
where everybody would come in and enjoy the house. - Sorry to correct you but the back door. Oh, of course, Sorry Danny, this
one is closed, unfortunately. Little entrance area where the people
could go in and hang out their things. - Yeah, washing machine. I love The Baseballs of the children, the
tennis balls everything is still left behind. Okay, time for the next rooms. Then from the dining space we can enter into
the bathroom it's literally in the middle of the house, I find it a bit strange because
it's directly connected to the dining room and directly connected to the living space
behind there, that's a bit strange for me. - Yeah it's a bit strange. Americans have rooms in very
rare places I would say. - Yeah! We don't do it in that way in
Europe, so those are just some comparisons between the countries or
between the continents I would say. Wow look at this, all the towels are I was still
left here, they seem like they have just been cleaned, and yet again we can see all those papers
with the inventory still left here, let's see there are two variety cloths in here or 20 variety
cloths and they're right 20 variety cloths. So yeah like you said Danny, definitely
an inventory of what's left in this house. Even the bottles of shampoo
and everything is Left Behind. We're still looking for an exact date of
abandonment, we believe 1990s was the time that Spencer lived here the last together with his
wife, but we're not exactly sure about that date. Here they had their shower and everything,
let me hop underneath here and then I will go into the living space, the main part of the
house, where the family came together in the evening, they had good times together, watch
television on that lovely machine back there. This is literally the first thing that catches
my attention when I walk into this room, I see the vinals, I see the books, I see
that it is a music player of some sort. but that's definitely a record player
Danny, I think it definitely opens up. I've explored enough houses in the
United States to know, if I take this off and if I take this off, yeah see, it
opens up to reveal a record player. Wow, this is so common for the United States to
see record players like that, absolutely amazing! There's still even a plate left on
there and Wobbles around somehow, maybe that was to catch vibrations of some sort. - Yeah, that's weird! It's very weird yeah. - Because a needle can just scratch that. It's a beautiful music box I would
say, a beautiful record player! And I love this record holder up here as well,
like this is the shape of a harp I would say, absolutely amazing, and then let's place
this nicely back again over here as well. So we have the lovely living room over here,
I can see we have this chair over here on the corner this must have definitely been Spencer's
chair at the last years that he lived here, but also beforehand this might have been his father or
his chair, his father used to rest in here after a long day of work, that's how it used to be,
that's how people lived in these houses, lovely! This lamp as well to decide and then have a look at this television Danny,
you see something special about this one? - Yeah, it moves around. There's a swiveling stand ,this is the
first one of this kind that we have seen. - Yeah. Swiveling television, like I always say
I love how that built these televisions, this is not particularly very intriugely designed, but I just love the woodwork around it back in
that time. Now televisions are just screens. - Yeah flat screen. That's it, it's just a screen and back then I
really thought about how does the look and feel of the television was also important and to
integrate it with the furniture of the house, all these vases up here are also pretty nice. What's this? This looks
like a compass of some sort. I don't understand this. - That's a compass but. But a compass is to move around with. - I don't know. Alliance, Data, Rotor, it says on there, I
have absolutely no clue what this device does, if anybody knows please let us know. The memo books are still here, where they wrote
everything down, this seems like it used to be for some accountancy of some sort, you can see
some prices have been written down to the side and of course also a lot
of letters, I love this one for Grandpa's girl, I wouldn't trade you for
anything, that's lovely, not even a pony! - What's the name of it? Sorry? - The name. Oh, the name, love Brittany. - Okay, Brittany. Okay, maybe you all can find
Brittany around the house somewhere because we already found a lot of letters
with names and stuff like that. It's just some regular letters that the last owners
the Otto family received, yeah interesting, but everything like this is also still left in
this house, even though Spencer is still alive. - Can I say one thing about the room? Of course! - The wallpaper, it stands out! Absolutely - It's so colorful! I'm glad that you point that out Danny,
the flowers are really beautiful! A painting about fishing over here. - Yeah I saw another one exactly
the same over here on the floor. Oh, that's duck shooting, that's
not fishing, that's hunting! - Yeah, is it real? I think it is! Yeah it's painted, oh and underneath we
also have these bound books down here, also pretty interesting I would say, they talk
about herbs and gardening and stuff like that. Okay, then of course another chair to
this side, also a lovely sitting area. - I love this little stand for the feet. I always call them a poof, that's how we call it a Dutch, but I don't know
if that's the exact word for it in English. A poof it's a small little feet stand. - In the Netherlands? Yeah, that's what we call a poof and I
thought it was the same word in English. - No a poof is like a big thing
like those bean bags you know. But I love this one, it's completely upholstery,
love the piece of Furnishing around it is a very nice piece of furniture,
okay let's put it over here, we also got this typical American
Vacuum Cleaner in the corner there. And then on the wall, they had these lights they
look very flimsy they're not very expensive. - Yeah they are not even attached
to the wall, like the cable. Yeah that you just pluck them into the socket. - Okay I thought this was like uh to turn it on. Oh, no no no, yeah that I've
definitely been added all later. See they just have a little nail in there, a little stand again with some books, the person
that was sitting on this chair next to here, they would love reading and they put these
books here just to read something at night. And of course, no American house is
complete without a rocking chair. Ah and this one is a pretty lovely one,
and we were just discussing it looks pretty weird in this room. -Yeah the vibe of that. One more thing that I'd love to point out is these
bow windows how they are formed, to let in a lot of light and I absolutely love that, there's
also a little area up here and oh you can see there's also a lot of books stored in there but
they place this plank here to protect the house. - Yeah, normally these places are sitting
areas for reading because of the light. For some reason, there's also a bedroom downstairs and I think Spencer was already pretty old when
he lived here, so definitely he used this room as a bedroom downstairs, so we
didn't have to go upstairs a lot. that definitely has been the case. More Dutch master and you can see over here 1987 and this is 1965s, but what's interesting
about this is, it says bills over here, so after they smoked all the cigars they
used this to store their bills inside. Multi-purpose! Yeah, multi-purpose exactly, let's first focus
on this side Danny, We have this lovely drawer over here with a lot of letters still left in
here, but we have been looking at the letters and the names on there and there are more names than
only the Otto family, you see Emerson over here. Again Emerson, that's the name that comes
back a lot of times throughout the house. - Yeah, only in letters. Here we see the date 1991. Hand wrote the letter over here. - Cannot read that! At least we could save it, it says over
there, it has been owing me beauty for a long time are they well? They're talking about
somebody in this letter pretty interesting. Okay, let's just focus a little bit on the
bed over here, still made this was definitely Spencer is bad at the last years that he lived
in here, I keep forgetting that he's still alive, he's still in a resting home,
Spencer is still on planet Earth. He was definitely a big fan of model airplanes
as well, we're going to see more model airplanes, more toys like that throughout the house,
big fan of that, we also have books from National Geographic over here as well,
a big reader the man was a big reader. America land of beauty and splendor, we should read this book Danny and then make
another Journey throughout the United States. - Yeah! We've been enjoying it so far, but uh we have not seen the beauty of
nature of America yet I would say. - Yeah! Oh I also love behind you we
have this sort of Chaisse Lounge, I would say or another like bed
thing, I love how it's designed. And then a drawer over here and on top of
there we have a very important picture, I'm gonna explain something
to you with this picture. So there are two families in this picture,
first of all, this was the grandmother of the two families, this young man you see over
here sitting on this lovely couch is Spencer, these are his two brothers, this is
his mother and this is his father and we believe that these two people over here
must have been a sister or a brother from the mother or the father, we are not
100 sure and this was their daughter. We're gonna see them coming all back
throughout the house while we're exploring it, this picture is from 1985, but I'm 95. Excuse
me no worries but I'm uh not sure about this date because this seems too late, because Spencer
was really way older, he was already way older. Oh, I love these books up here,
they're pretty interesting! Okay, "old world breads " and again a
lot of books over here as well, so one last book I want to point out that's this one,
oh, completely gold covering on the rim of it. That's definitely a religious book. - What's the name of the religious book? I don't know. The Bible! Of course, sorry, I'm sorry. -No worries. Holy Bible, of course, this
Holy Bible is the property of nobody so you can still make it to your property. - No thank you! Let's place this beauty back here, okay
let's go to the next part of the house. It's now time to show you the upstairs of the
house, the most private part where the people used to sleep and we're just saying I said it was the
front door, but this is actually the front door. - This is the front door, yeah! But I find it very strange
Danny, there's the purse hanging on the front door, on
the knob of the front door. - Yeah, they didn't even bother to
take it out when they boarded up. They just came in here putting the bolts
in there and put the plank in place. This was the purse of somebody that once
lived here, maybe Spencer's wife at one point. Let's see if there is still
something in there, no there's not, I just find it's very strange that
it's hanging like this over here, okay! Nice, let's go upstairs. Curious to see what the upper floors of
the house will be hold for us. , what? - Sorry to interrupt I just spotted something. Oh my gosh! - Oh it's a shelf, I thought they were
just hanging on the wall, it's a shelf! There's a shelf of books over
here, today's best non-fiction, well I love how they're standing like that. - Yeah, me too, I was like
they are floating, but no. You see there's a little bit of rubble on
the top of it, that comes from the ceiling that's completely falling apart at the top over
there and all the rubble is also on the floor over here, that's pretty insane. - It is. A lovely design feature of the house,
the wallpaper slowly peeling off revealing and exposing the wall behind it. Years of Abandonment everybody and
this brings us to the first room, the first bedroom of the house and I believe
that this used to be a children's bedroom. - Yeah for sure! You can immediately see it when you come inside
of the room, you look at the bed it's so colorful it's so beautiful, I absolutely love it,
this is the picture that I saw when I got this house from an Explorer and I fell in love
with this picture and now I see it in person, you can definitely tell this was a children's
bed with all the colors, it's amazing to see! Right next to there, there are more clues to
the story, the toys are still in here, you can see they played with tanks so definitely boys'
room, but all the children in the house were boys. What's this? - I think it was a dart board. Oh yeah, of course, looks way different than it
normally does but it is a children's darts board. - Yeah definitely! What do we have over here? Cowboy guitar, I think it's part of the guitar but
standing over there in the corner. - Oh yeah! It was probably unfixable. Again a lot of books, very
literature people in this household and these don't look like books for
children, John Fowless, a Maggot. This doesn't look like a children's book. Let's see a lot of things over here
in the corner, wallpaper coming off, I think this might have been the book for
the school for the children, the school book. They wrote a lot of things in
here, everything is handwritten, here we see some equations up here
as well, this one's from 1975. Oh yeah of course some geometry as well, some
divisions, I'm a mathematician like most people know in the channel, I love computer science,
I love math and these are really my books. 1989. Oh that's that's the state school that
they went to, yeah again a lot of books over here and also these fighter jets airplane
models that the children used to play with. - This is really cool to see, those model planes! This is a box of a model car that you could buy back then. Chevrolet Corvette, a complete
line of model sports cars ready to assemble. Children probably had a lot of fun doing
that, okay let's see what we have over here, again a lot more toys from
those children all left here. No idea what this does, it
looks like some sort of a game. Have you seen those letters? I love the corner
around it, the rim around this, it displays the flag and the colors of America, and even the
Post-it stem on there if the White House, a plane and only costs 8 cents back in that time when this
letter was sent, it's directed to Spencer Otto. - What's that card? This one? - Yeah. American Radiator and
standard sanitary Corporation, employee identification card, Otto Spencer. Yeah, that's his job, so we worked in the
radiator and standard sanitary Corporation, so that means just like standard heating
and plumbing and stuff in this in the house. - wow okay. That's interesting, so all this work that
they did over the years like this over here we can see a brick house that he was
building that was his job later on. Even this wallet still here, no dollars
in there anymore, nothing it's just empty, oh here we got a picture of Spencer, do you
think that's the girl from the family picture? - Probably, she was younger, so probably she was. You ever see the boys the motorbikes, racing away, a lot more toys everywhere,
oh sticks a little bit to my finger. Wow, oh it's again a very interesting suitcase
Danny, see these are a suitcase with all the coat hangers that you display or that you open up
when you come into your hotel room and everything is neatly it's like a little closet and
this one as well. Yeah exactly, lovely! Of course a lot more toys for the children,
it's everything what they played with, army back in the time, I hate War, but for
the children, that's pretty nice to play with. Love these model tanks. - Yeah me too, oh this is interesting! Pinball machine. - Yeah, in real life! The spring is not strong
enough anymore to be able to. -Ah it's stuck! It's a little bit stuck and there
are too many balls in there yeah, but it still would function if we
fix it up and it's really cool to see and even Danny something that's probably not
from your country, but your neighbors castanets. - Yeah, neighbors! Do they do this in Portugal as well. - Not much, that's a Spanish thing. In Spain, the ladies dance with this
and clap this and make music with it. And then one last stand over here all the
bound books and everything, the crayons from the children where they colored with, even a
pair of glasses and everything is left in here. What's this exactly is this
to look at the pictures? - Yeah you would, I don't know exactly
how it works but it's to watch something. You would put something in here
and push it through and watch it, yeah it's probably a light that
shines through it, from the back. And then a lot more army toys
down here as well and a register. Fifty dollars please and have a good day, Oh wait
wait wait wait before we go away from this room, this looks like a very old photo album. - It's empty! No, it's completely empty, oh that's sad, but I see this sometimes in Europe and they are
completely filled with these vintage pictures, okay everything is nicely back
let's go to the next room. Two more rooms up here that we have
to show you and I believe all the boys used to sleep up here or maybe one of
them slept downstairs in that one room. Oh this is a very small room I would
say, way smaller than the other one. - I think this is an improvised room. Oh this might have been a bathroom at some
point and they converted it into a room, that's maybe why we see the bathroom
downstairs and this room up here, so they wanted to give everybody a room upstairs
and this doesn't look like a children's room. - Yeah it's really old. Oh sheep wool rug on the floor, pretty
nice to see and it's definitely a real one, definitely! I think if we smell it, it still
smells like sheep, We're not gonna do it and then a lovely bed completely made out of steel,
yeah it's completely made out of steel, yeah! A nice painting behind there from a landscape
with a tiny house and a forest area around there, are these praying beads? or they're
meant to look like praying beads, they are the containers from sewing machine? - Yeah that's just put together like that. A lovely bed still made and what I always
love to see is, see the ceiling all its paint is slowly shipping off, and then
it's dwindling and falling onto the bed, then you know this is literally Decades of decay
slowly happening, slowly falling onto the bed. Then we have a Bureau for the person that lived
in this room where they could read and study at. Oh, wow this seems to be from porcelain, yeah that's from porcelain oh,
okay I am just gonna put here. - That's beautiful! It doesn't have a stand
anymore, but it's lovely to see! Some books Gone with the Wind Margaret Michelle. These radios Danny, I'm just falling in love with
them, I see them always in the United States very typical, oh, it even still spins, here you would
select the channel that you want to listen to. Its only radio that's what I also love and it's
just very simple very elegant beautifully made, like again with the television you can see
also there's also been thoughts into the Furnishing and then the look and feel
of the radio to fit it into the house. A nest of a rat or mouse. What do we have down here? This bag is filled, no this looks like architectural stuff,
you can see these yeah there are a lot of drawings in here as you can see yeah I'm
sorry I'm just gonna put this all back later, but you can see they drew all these heads
of these men up here, I think this might be, yeah there's also a lot of toys in here this
might have been the school bag for the children. Oh let's put everything nicely back, I
always try to be as respectful as possible with the items that I find inside of these
homes and just place it back how I find it and then another lovely drawer over here. Greetings from our house to your house, this
is not a family, E.H.Nunting says on there, we saw that downstairs aswell. 1928 that's a long
time ago, family picture of two young children, here again another family picture
I think of the same children and are these the people that
lived in the house, no they're not. - No they're not! But it's just the name of the company, interesting, very interesting, so we found the
history of two families inside of this place. Oh, this drawer is completely
filled, but very stuck, oh watch out, a lot of cards in here Merry Christmas, from
1989, so these are one of the last dates, 1995 is the last date that we've seen throughout this
place, I definitely cannot read this handwriting. Here always hollande on the says
in there, all Christmas cards, all left in this drawer over here, a
lot of other letters over here as well and these are from Mrs. Emerson Notting
the same name we saw downstairs as well. Okay, let's close this up, let's go
furthering to the last room upstairs here, no before the attic, the
attic is another room, okay. There is a door down there, but there is
also an attic up here I noticed. Okay let me quickly grab a chair, I want to have a peek
up there, that's my just my exploring curiosity. Be careful with this chair! You see these types of Ethics
a lot in the United States. Please, give me the camera, let's
give the people a look up here, I hope there's nothing scary up here, no it's
just a completely empty space, okay! There you go bro, I was just curious, I see his
face he's like why are you looking up there. - It's nothing! I know it's nothing, but this is my curiosity. - Now we have your hair full of the ceiling. I do, I'll place this back later, but let's
now go into the last bedroom of this place, this might have been the Master bedroom, the
parents' bedroom, seems reasonable to me. Lovely bed still made, they have sort of the
same blanket on top of here with all the colors, absolutely love it! Iron bed frame also look at the lovely
wallpaper, the yellow flowers on there, surprising that here the wallpaper still
holds up pretty well against the wall. - Yeah, the other room also,
the wallpaper was good. Oh no, over here on this side
it's already peeling off slowly. - Yeah this side of the room is a bit. Bit messy, this is definitely,
oh, you know you know it? - Yeah, of course, Notre Dame. Notre Dame and the boulevards of Paris
and I also love these kiosks that you have in Paris, you can get drinks
and newspapers and stuff from there, Paris one of my favorite
cities in the whole world. I can't read it exactly, of course
it says on the back here Notre Dame, lovely and somebody in the house also loved
bullfighting and Spain, because we saw the castanets and stuff like that, lovely, okay let's
look at this room see what we can find in here. Oh the pictures of the family, a day out fishing, when our lovely Spencer was
still young together with his two brothers, they are fishing and they gave him the net the
catch the fish out of the water, they were like, you are the young boy, you just get the
fish out of the water, oh that's lovely. Those memories that are left in this place are
amazing, and over here we can see the boys again, Spencer with his brothers.
Here's another picture with them, but here
the girl also comes back and she is also part of the family somehow, like I
said she might be a niece of them. - Maybe Brittany the name we saw downstairs. This could have been Brittany, oh this also always means that there are good
pictures behind there, these photo Maps, oh that's amazing wow was absolutely amazing, I think there
are a couple more here, oh Danny I love these. - But the real question is who are these people? Yeah they seem like forefathers of the family, just gonna open them all
because I want to show them. - There's a couple of them, okay! Here we have a name, loving Sander. And then the last one, these are
definitely beginning of the 1900s. And then there are a couple more pictures
down here, here we see a lady with a car, we see the house with Christmas in 1962 and
this might have been Spencer, you see here with the blonde hair maybe this was the kid, he's the
only one with blonde hair 67, it says over there. Maybe that's the date, wow, and here is the
niece again Brittany, who we think is Brittany and the same child that we saw Spencer with in the
other room as well, the story is really starting to connect, yeah it's really starting to
make sense to me, it makes sense yeah! Lovely, this looks like a jukebox
but it's actually also a radio, lovely piece definitely fits in this room. Oh, it still works, still functions,
Stuart Warner, it says on the top of here. I think this was just the radio right, there's also not a record player or don't see any
compartment where you put a record of some sort. There are pictures above here unfortunately
this one has been destroyed as you can see, there's someone behind it. And now we have a couple of seats to this
side, I always lose the name for this device, we call it a "Passer" in Dutch, but
I don't know the English name for it. I don't know. - Me neither! Just leave it in the comments,
if somebody wants to correct us. We're still Dutch guys and Portuguese, so
we don't know every single word in English. Wow, lovely room Danny, I absolutely enjoyed it, um there's one more thing that we've
got to show upstairs here, let's see. - It's the attic. Not the attic I just showed
you there's another attic. - Yeah, it's a weird attic because. Just follow me, I will show you. - It looks like a normal door. Yeah exactly, see everybody I
place everything always back. - It's this door right here, they painted it. Like all the paint that's on here it's completely
falling off this is the formal layer of paint on the door, so this is the original color of the
door the formal layer and this is the new layer, open this up for you, sir, the honor is up to you. Where should I start. - Okay there's a lot of
mess, because it's an attic. There are also some cool things between it, first things that peaks my attention is
this box, it is definitely completely fake I know I'm aware of that, there's not
gold plating this is just thinner copper. - It is a really cool box. Absolutely, if you find this in
Europe you can be sure that it's real, but over here uh probably not, this is where
to get all the sewing supplies as you can see. Very simple box, we also have this lovely, chest I forgot the name for a second and
then we have this radio portable radio. - That's interesting! It's from General Electric, I love what I made it, imagine the children back in the time, they
would go to the beach take this radio with them, put it next to their blanket and just
listen to everything, absolutely amazing. We cannot imagine this anymore nowadays, we have
thousands of songs in our spotify playlists, life has gotten so convenient, that
it's almost unimaginable nowadays. Sir, I would like you to go further! Just looking at everything around the room here. - Yeah there's a lot! But I think this also might have
been a bedroom at some point, you know why I think that, first and foremost there is a bad frame in here, but also the walls
have been painted, the roof has been done, the ceiling has been done, so that's that's definitely
been somebody's bedroom at some point in time. - Yeah this looks like later on was
an attic, like they put stuff here. Maybe when the children moved out,
they started putting things up here and they're making it into some sort of an attic. Look what we got over here Danny, Jeffrey Otto,
that might be one of his brothers, yeah or the father or the father yeah that's true, a lot of
letters up here Miss Alice, mister W.M Parkhurst. Interesting, so many things so many letters so
many memories, all left in this house and I was telling yesterday to Danny American houses are
different than European ones, American abandoned houses, they hold so much story about the people,
they tell everything and so much pictures and that that sometimes we just don't find that in
Europe, but over here that's very present, people leave a lot behind in the United States, a lot,
lovely vanity over there as well in the corner. Feels right for me to end off this
video in this room, in Spencer his room, Spencer I know you're still alive man, I hope
you had a good life, I hope you had a lot of good memories about the house and your family
and living here together with them, I'm happy that I could document it this abandoned Place,
gonna place this picture back where I found it. Okay, it's like that, I just found
it like that and yeah with that all, just going to end it off here, I really
thouroly really enjoyed going through here, these are the time capsules that I
enjoy, showing and bringing to the world. Thank you all so much for watching this
