This Civil War-Era Home Was Abandoned With Everything Left Inside

Bryan Sansivero of New York fancies himself a world traveler and urban explorer. And during one of his explorations, he discovered an abandoned house in Virginia that was filled with tons of history.

The house reportedly belonged to a colonel from the Civil War. Now, only remnants of the family that called this property home remain, even though the house itself looks as if it has been frozen in time.

The House Had Seen Better Days

From the outside, it looks like a nice two-story home surrounded by bushes and trees. But there are signs that this 1853 Greek revival-style home has seen better days, particularly the balcony that appears to be tilting to one side.

Vines are Overtaking the Property

This Virginia house might seem like it’s been lived in, but the exterior suggests otherwise. The vines have grown, spread and coiled towards the property like living predators ready to overtake the property. But the interior isn’t exactly in great shape either.

The Antique Living Room is Peeling Away

Although the ceiling looks like it’s ready to peel away or collapse, there are still a couple of interesting things around, such as the random bird perched on the mantle or the blue drapes and matching painting. It’s surprising that no one has pillaged this place.

The Bedroom’s Had Better Times

The bedroom also has a ceiling and walls that are just peeling away. There’s also some hint of mildew on the walls and some areas of the mantle that could use some TLC. But ironically, the taxidermy stag head hanging on the wall seems to have fared well.
