The Hidden Legacy Of The Abandoned Farmhouse That I Found In Long Island, New York

ADVERTISEMENT

I discovered an abandoned farmhouse built in 1860 on Long Island, New York, with centuries of history and treasures left behind. Antique furniture, photographs, and paintings were scattered around and throughout. After some research, I discovered that due to a legal battle between the former family and current owners. Things have been left for decades in a state of decay.

Step inside the historical century-old farmhouse in Long Island, and take a look at the legacies left there.

Farm house? I don't know, but to me, it doesn't look like a farm house - it's too grand. And there is nothing in the interior shots that would point to those folks as being farmers. That aside, it's sad that someone's personal belongings were just left there. But people die all the time who have no friends or kin left in the world. Their loneliness is so sad.

American farmhouses sometimes look like this, especially those established pre-Depression. The family might have been grand before things went sideways and they had to abandon. I used to find farmhouses like this in the 1970s and 80s when so many farmers went belly up where I lived in Delaware.

The photographs and documents would be the greatest treasure for anyone tracing their family history. It is such a shame when things like that are allowed to become lost.

Staged photos, being abandoned for decades, how does that plastic trashcan on wheels in the pic of "The Dining Room" happen to be there.

Sorry I don’t buy this. In some pics it looks like a pack of rats have had a riot and some walls are crack like eggshells and the wallpapers are loose or fallen off. BUT the colors are TOO vibrant, the light colors are TOO light and although things are scattered all around the rooms are still TOO clean, the surfaces of glasses, furniture and glazed ceramics glances and all fabrics are TOO well preserved for a 150 year old ABANDON house on US north east coast! Some pics looks like models in a dollhouse and I KNOW a rose do not keep neither fresh nor clear red for that long!!! I say the outside pic is real, but the rest is fake made “real” by the first pic, the story and a lot of assumptions, imagination and want-to-believe from the viewers.

Some houses are staged for historic tours. It could have been fixed up more recently and then if funding fell through, abandoned

I always wonder, how did you gain access to the house? Did you break into the legally contested home? A lot of the items have clearly been cleaned, some have price tags on them. In one pic there is a large plastic garbage can and what looks like new boxes of nails on the table. Unless you were cleaning, dusting, and polishing mirrors it just looks like you just wandered into a previously abandoned home before it was ready for an estate sale.

I was given access by the people who inherited the property. It was previously untouched for about 40 years.

Why is it a house like that can stay relatively untouched, while pictures of abandoned unclear bunkers are full of grafitti etc.?

Wow, completely enjoyed all the photos. Wanted to see more. Sad in a way, but with the right connections, this all should be in a museum as a reminder of times gone by. (no indoor plumbing too) Where was the outhouse?
