ABANDONED 1860s Victorian Mansion | Ohio Urbex
There are very view Victorian Mansions in Ohio and we were lucky enough to visit this one. Enjoy!
This spectacular abandoned Victorian Mansion Is located in southern Ohio. It was built in the mid-1850s to 1860s but the actual date is unclear. The house is 4600 ft.² and has 17 rooms. The basement is also large and connects to the garage. There is also a large attic with stairs that go into the Widow’s Peak. The ceilings range from ~10 to ~14 feet. This combined with the beautiful woodwork make this a one of a kind location.

hey guys. me and my 2 friends are 18 and okder but we live in ohio and we are trying to find places to explore. we found a few small places. but if you could give me the locstion of this beautiful mansion for us to photograpgh and document that would be greatly apreciated. we absolutley do not vandalise anything or publish the location if we are provided with one.
I just discovered your website and love your work! This mansion is beautifully decayed, would you be willing to let me know where it’s located? I’d love to see it for myself.
Have you found any info on P.E. Fultz? Did he once live in the mansion?
I found out through some serious digging that:
*Richard Hummel (1968-1969) was an Agriculture grad from OSU – so it would make sense that he lived on this farm and possibly was working the land.
The current owner registered the home/property with Three Valley Conservation Trust in 2006. My guess is that they are more interested in agricultural assets than the home itself. Looks like it was also rented out and the renters let it fall into disrepair (which you’ve stated abandoned the property in 2004).
PE Fultz is I believe Paxson E Fultz – he and his family are buried in the cemetery not too far from here. (the original owner of the home is also buried in that same cemetery…)
Leonard Fitzwater can also be tied to the area — so I think it’s safe to say that, yes, they probably did all live there. For how long though… I don’t know… yet.
My guess (without knowing exactly where the house is in Ohio) is that this might be the P.E. Fultz mentioned — https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24806015/paxson-e_-fultz
They lived in the Dayton area which could absolutely be considered “Southern Ohio”.
Spent many a summer day at this house. It was amazing in its day. Sad to see that another amazing house is dying in such a sad way. It was rumored to be part of the Underground Railroad. I haven’t been there in over 40 years. Just a piece of advise. Contact land owner before entering property, for anyone who is looking for this. Thank you for this video. Stirred many fond memories of my past.
do you know who owns this land? I would absolutely love to see it for myself, it is the perfect time of year. however I don’t want to go without permission.
Behind the furnace to your left side are loose red brick there
I would love to visit the 1860s mansion in southern Ohio who owns it? And do you think I would get permission to visit it?
