This absolutely beautiful federal style house was built between 1833-1837 for Josiah Crudup. Josiah Crudup was born around 1791 and would try his hand at many things, becoming a successful preacher for a time before running for congress in 1821, serving only one term. After his first wife passed away in 1823 he would remarry and raise many of his children in this home. Interestingly Josiah Crudup was against secession before the civil war even though he owned slaves. 3 of his sons would serve in the confederate army and died early on in the civil war in 1861. Josiah would live in this home for 30 some years before passing away in 1872. Crudup descendants lived in the house until the early 1960’s when it was sold to a few new owners eventually ending up forgotten 30-40 years later and in need of some major work now. This stunning historic old house might be one of my favorites I’ve ever documented, so many incredible designs and details from the wainscoting, the ceilings the ornate hand carved wood fireplace mantle’s. So much to see and love in this old house, I especially thought the staircase design was fascinating. Really loved this place and hopefully it will end up saved or preserved as a museum. Thank you for watching. Like and leave a comment for me if you enjoyed! Thank you!

This is just so sad. A Preservation group and Old House Life has tried twice to buy and preserve this ole gal but the owner refuses. She lives in MD and could care less about the house. So very selfish. 😢 Old House Life has many interesting articles posted about this house.

If someone had just repaired the roof, this beautiful house would still be standing in another hundred years!

The woodwork and detail are second to none in this home. It’s stunning! It’s so sad that they leave beautiful homes like this to decay. Such a piece of history just rotting away. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing these to us before they’re gone forever. Stay safe Kappy!😊

The Queen Anne chairs in the attic are exquisite! There is no modern day craftsmanship that can compare to this. What a grand house I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been in its prime. Seems like it could be registered as “Historical” then they would have to do something with it. How sad. Excellent video.

I want to express my gratitude for this upload today. I'm right in the middle of a 30% hatch risk for tornadoes today and this video has helped take my mind off what we could be dealing with in a few hours. Governor of the state of Kansas issued a disaster declaration yesterday and i sure hope we don't need it. I will say if I have to rebuild I'm going to use tons of Kappy's videos to create a beautiful home😂😂😂😂

This was a beautiful house, Kappy. Those cabinets you saw, with the round hole in the top, could have been to hold a wash basin. They would have been from the time there was no running water, at least not upstairs.

In 2010-11 I helped a friend take care of her parents in their house, which was built in the 1830s. My friend's house was across the street, and was an 1853 farmhouse that I absolutely loved. It measured 34'4" X 44' and had three full stories. The second and third floors were identical except for ceiling height. The ceiling heights were: First floor 10', Second floor 9', Third floor 7'9". The place was in rough shape, but still livable. Since my friend and her parents all passed away, that house was sold and fixed up. It would be interesting to see the inside again. It's so sad to see houses that are in such bad shape as that one in your video. Just wow.

Stunning. Maybe the present owner doesn't like what it represented in its hay day. A lot of ppl want to erase history rather than learn from it. What a shame at any rate. Thanks Kappy, fine tour.

I love the doors in this old house. Imagine as you’re walking through the door ways that they are the same doorways people walked through as they went about their day almost 200 years ago.

Hello Kappy, thanks for our Saturdary treat! What a beautiful house! Probably the owner of the house doesn't know how valuable those murals are. Take care, your subscribers love you❤

I went and read the history of this mansion and it is amazing as well. The son had a hand cranked elevator installed for his elderly father to access the 2nd floor, you can see where is was 11:15 in your video then he had running water put in by using a pump from the stream to a tank in the barn. WOW this house was very beautiful back in the day. Thanks for sharing this. You have a great day and safe travels.

Sadly, it is probably too late to save this beautiful old house, but it is a shame that someone isn't salvaging all of those fireplaces and other architectural pieces in the house before it is all ruined. Kappy, I agree that this is one of the most beautiful houses you have shown us. Thanks for sharing it!

Judging from the beams on the inside of the floors, ceilings, this house STILL could be saved. If the roof was fixed then time could be spent on the inside. This house would be such an asset to the town. Plenty of room for parking, tourists would come to see this place. Wow, this is one house that SHOULD be saved. The owner needs to change her mind and sell before it's too late. And the chairs in attic!!!! Classic sea shell design. Those are bona fide antiques from the houses history. Someone put them up there for safe keeping. It is sooooo aggravating to see the condition and probably fate of this place!!

That golden wood on the staircase is probably wood that is now extinct :(

Such a shame to see once beautiful homes with stunning architecture like this fall apart and be replaced by apartment buildings and cookie cutter neighborhoods which will never stand the test of time that these gems have.

Looks to me as if there has been much in the way of additions and alterations to the 1830s structure... The stair hall may have been the original entry... Maybe it was built in stages up to about 1900.... There is quite a bit of early 20th century beadboard throughout the house... The two features you asked about appear to be vanity bases for drop in sinks... Late 19th or early 20th centuries... The small room upstairs that you said looked Victorian looks like a bar... Like the corner (of the room) tavern bars of the pre-civil war period but maybe could be prohibition period... Was this a 'Speak Easy'..? The area in the attic where the old shake roof shingles are visible is probably the original 1830s core of the house... At the end of your video (25:50).. showing the side.. the original 1830s structure in in the center with the large brick chimney... Every thing else has been added probably during the 19th century... The stone foundation crawl space is the original footprint of the 1830s house... I am adding that the front door was probably where a chimney was... It would have been exactly as the other end of the I-house style 1830s section... The original front entrance would have been in the center of the long side now covered with the later additions... The front door would have opened to the main staircase... Update - I did some research and found that the house was built in stages as I expected... This house had the first residential elevator in North Carolina... That may explain the strange little room...
