This is a house that I explored backed in the spring and loved it's style and architecture! It was completely untouched, not boarded and a gem of a find! The only area of the property that I could not access was the basement because the door was sealed off.
Over the weekend a good friend of mine came from out of town and we set out to explore. I knew he would enjoy the history of this home!
When we went to the back of the house, we saw that the exterior basement door was wide open. I ventured inside and had my mind blown!
The first thing I saw was this very large safe.
Then a metal shelf with a 1950's Brownie camera and a bag full of Edison Blue Amberol records. They were dated 1913 and after having to look up what they even were, found out they were produced from 1912 to 1929.
I walked into the next room that had old wood shelves full of boxes. There was a bit of decay but when I took a closer look I couldn't believe my eyes! There were postcards and letters from the early 1900s, photos from the 1800s (Farmer Brothers Photography was open from 1840 to 1892) and antique dinnerware and dishes from the 1800s/1900s.
There was a full box of these tea cups and plates.
This was a truly historic find and I am so glad that I returned to this house to find it!
