TDW 1778 - Inside Strangest House In The World

0:03 another rainy North Carolina day

0:03 cruising along in the carpet

0:05 mobile and I have super glued the wooden

0:10 glasses back together welcome everyone

0:13 Adam the woo here you can see a little

0:16 bit of faint residue but I think they

0:17 look pretty good took a Sharpie and just

0:20 painted over the spots where the

0:23 superglue were it's my second channel

0:25 daily Vlog channel it's not really a cup

0:28 I'm holding it's actually a restaurant I

0:30 thought this is a good place to start to

0:32 vog it's the daily woo Highway 66 not to

0:35 be confused with the famous Route 66

0:39 veers Northbound onto this road and

0:42 heads southbound and right here off the

0:45 side of the road is an old gas station

0:48 and the Oasis Cafe looking inside the

0:51 old Diner definitely has not been open

0:54 for a while and they even have some

0:57 signs for Route 66 of course that goes

1:00 from Chicago to La not in North Carolina

1:03 but they have their own little their own

1:04 little version here would you consider

1:06 this the Forgotten

1:08 66 yes I think this is the Forgotten

1:12 little brother of the smaller brother

1:14 yes the younger the younger brother that

1:16 didn't get the attention the younger

1:19 less

1:19 exciting little brother that lives in

1:22 North Carolina yeah a little Relic here

1:25 in the form of a gas

1:28 pump chicken

1:30 and other metal accessories judging by

1:33 the signs some people have taken target

1:35 practice in this area oh check that out

1:38 there's an old bowling alley down there

1:40 too at one point they used to have neon

1:43 stretching across the top you can see

1:44 where the holes where the neon came out

1:46 and stretched all around it little

1:49 antique signage there one thing that's

1:51 great about these small towns you see a

1:54 lot of garage sale type stores look at

1:57 this

2:00 back when cigarettes were a dollar a

2:02 pack you can find the best stuff in

2:04 these places this howdy Duty doll is

2:08 marked

2:10 $20 that's a pretty good deal 1976 she

2:13 has a date stamp on it right here a

2:15 poster of the man himself The Fawns hey

2:18 Mr C you never know what you're going to

2:21 find off the side of the

2:27 road that's for sure it's an old train

2:27 depot

2:30 oh it says do not enter I guess we got

2:31 to park here and walk the rest of the

2:33 way whoever was asked to be married has

2:38 agreed and painted a yes next to the

2:41 question as you know these are some of

2:42 my favorite things these soda murals

2:45 from bygone days on the side of the

2:47 walls check that one out Pepsi Cola and

2:50 look at this Gordon Foods truck kind of

2:54 looks like Doc Brown's van there you go

2:58 right there

3:06 now walking the grounds of Wake Forest

3:06 College and there is a picnic table here

3:10 with the periodic

3:13 table engraved on the

3:15 seat and the top of it

3:23 itself you can learn all about the

3:23 elements while you eat your

3:27 lunch I can't be the only one that's

3:29 confused by some of

3:33 these like what is what is that they did

3:37 a pretty good job of recreating the

3:40 shape of

3:42 it pretty neat this one right here

3:44 that's gold number 79 Au is gold that up

3:49 there is

3:50 helium

3:51 hydrogen oh then you got the Big O over

3:54 here that's oxygen study it thoroughly

3:57 Jacob you'll be quizzed on it later

3:59 going to be a pop quiz be a pop quiz

4:01 would it be a good move if you were a

4:03 new college student you met a girl you

4:05 asked her out on the day she said where

4:06 are you taking me for lunch meet me at

4:08 the periodic table is that a good move

4:11 it's how I beg my

4:13 wife here you go this guy is taking

4:16 paper newspaper sales to a whole other

4:19 level he basically just points at you

4:21 and says you know you want to buy this

4:23 paper he points in your general

4:26 direction oh he almost did like the Hulk

4:28 Hogan can you hear me move

4:30 it's pretty good wonder if how many he

4:32 sells a day it worked he's selling

4:35 one the man knows how to sell a paper

4:38 that right there is known as the

4:40 Reynolds building built in

4:42 1929 2 years before the Empire State

4:45 Building it's the precursor in the

4:48 smaller version of the Empire State

4:50 Building and it's rumored that the

4:51 employees at the building in New York

4:54 send a Father's Day card every year to

4:57 the employees at this building if that's

5:00 true that's awesome if you look at the

5:02 lettering on that Smoke Stack it says

5:03 RJR tobacco that's RJ Reynolds which is

5:07 also where they got the name for this

5:10 Majestic

5:12 creation here in Winston w win Winston

5:17 Winston W how do you pronounce This

5:19 Place Winston Salem even have the old

5:22 rot Iron

5:25 Decor reminds me of kind like old school

5:28 Hollywood in way the main lobby leading

5:31 to the elevators is pretty beautiful

5:33 I've never been to the real Empire State

5:35 Building so I'm not sure how this

5:37 Compares but the roof is very decorative

5:41 and

5:42 ornate check that out I like this old

5:45 letter box and check this out the

5:48 lettering there this car up they call

5:50 the elevator a car every time I go

5:53 through one of these spinning doors I

5:55 pretend like I'm Clark K turning in to

5:57 Superman that's the lobby in in

5:59 Manhattan pretty close color scheme wise

6:02 but the roof is definitely a lot taller

6:05 in there from the outside however pretty

6:08 dang close I see the resemblance I I

6:11 knew you were related just on the

6:13 outskirts of downtown is a little area

6:16 known as Salem and right over here

6:19 tucked away in The

6:22 Crossroads is a coffee

6:25 pot created in 1858 and it is the old

6:29 this roadside coffee pot used to promote

6:32 a business anywhere in the US sometimes

6:35 referred to as the Mickey pot named

6:37 after Julius and Sam Mickey and if you

6:40 were to put actual coffee in there it

6:43 would hold

6:44 11,000 cups that's what I'm talking

6:47 about the exterior of It kind of reminds

6:49 me of the Tin

6:51 Man from Wizard of Oz in a way oh

6:54 there's a sign here with some

6:56 information on it the landmark

6:59 originally stood as a sign in front of

7:01 their Tin Shop okay that makes sense at

7:04 the corner of South Maine and bellel

7:07 Street in Salem would you fancy a cup of

7:10 tea

7:12 sir whoa whoa I was trying to imitate

7:16 Julius I I don't know if that's what

7:17 that might have been what Sam you upset

7:19 that dog what you upset that dog he

7:22 didn't like he did he didn't want like

7:23 your accent he did let's face it nobody

7:26 does seems to be some sort of

7:28 four-legged spidery looking thing

7:30 engulfing the

7:39 road here on the corner of peach tree

7:39 and sprog street is a piece of gas

7:42 station Americana goodness if ever there

7:47 was one look at this Shell station it's

7:51 made from an actual shell well it's

7:54 probably concrete but it's in the shape

7:57 of a shell with the original gas pumps

8:00 still in front there's two of

8:12 them if you look closely inside the

8:12 window check out that old school light

8:16 also with the Shell logo on the front of

8:18 it how cool would it be to

8:21 live behind this thing well I don't know

8:26 they might have a different opinion but

8:27 I think it'd be really cool to live

8:29 behind the station it'd be easy to give

8:32 directions you could just say you know

8:33 that Big Shell station no no no where I

8:36 just well just look for the big the big

8:38 yellow shell what are you talking about

8:39 a shell the big if if you drive around

8:41 the outskirts of winom Salem you would

8:44 see a big yellow shell and just behind

8:47 that is where I live like a seashell

8:49 you're making this very difficult all

8:51 right this answers my question they're

8:53 they're not happy they have a dog

8:54 barking and a sign that says please

8:56 don't touch they don't like they don't

8:57 like living behind the shell all right

8:58 get stoked get stoked this is for

9:02 posterity let's act excited come on more

9:05 give it give it give it all you got all

9:08 right that's good that's too much too

9:10 bring it down bring it down a

9:13 notch nailed it Cruising Into kernsville

9:17 now looking for a place to get a bite to

9:20 eat there's a plethora of band

9:24 instruments in this store window

9:26 appropriately called the band company

9:29 and across the street Deli and sandwich

9:32 shop yep that sounds good to me nice

9:35 little Hometown feel to it this is what

9:39 we're dealing with I got the hot roast

9:41 beef sandwich with the dip what it

9:44 called a aour a aou dip where'd you get

9:49 Jacob a little Reuben a little Reuben

9:51 that's more than a little Reuben that's

9:53 a that's an epic look at look at the top

9:55 of the toast there they like put a

9:57 little decorative swirl

10:15 I'm also trying these for the first time

10:15 zaps Voodoo they're basically salt and

10:18 vinegar mixed with a little barbecue

10:20 flavor not too bad there's a building

10:23 here called Corners Folly I'm not 100%

10:28 sure what what's inside

10:30 it but I'm very curious so we're going

10:33 to check it out I got my ticket and I'm

10:36 now going to head

10:37 inside juel corner Was An Architect who

10:40 built this according to the internet

10:43 this is a self-proclaimed strangest

10:46 house in the world I'm thinking this was

10:49 the year that it was built and watch

10:52 watch out for this spt you don't you

10:54 don't want to stick around there too

10:56 closely the doorway is it's very short

10:59 look how close my head comes to the top

11:02 of the

11:03 door I made it through but bar I didn't

11:06 close it I make sure the door

11:13 closes there we go originally this main

11:13 forer was used as a Carriage Way the

11:16 horses and carriages would come through

11:18 here these are trap doors he had

11:20 installed and he would take the tops off

11:22 to let the air up from the basement you

11:24 can see there's a lot of different

11:26 hidden rooms there's three stories but

11:28 there are seven levels so some of the

11:31 levels are going to be very tight

11:32 quarters lots of doors and compartments

11:34 leading to who knows where and breakfast

11:38 is on the stuff as you come out of the

11:41 dining room you turn into this very

11:44 enclosed passageway there's a door here

11:47 and then the stairs lead down in a very

11:50 odd fashion leading up into another

11:55 room very peculiar how how the stairs

11:59 are there just and then they go back up

12:03 here into another

12:12 level

12:12 wow look at this car me the layout of

12:15 the property really doesn't make much

12:18 sense on why it just keeps going up and

12:20 down for no real reason directly above

12:22 one of the seven

12:24 fireplaces is this ascending

12:27 stairwell going straight up to another

12:29 level to another

12:31 level there's someone else up there upon

12:35 entering they said 90% of the furniture

12:37 is orig obviously these are not of the

12:40 same era but take a look at some of the

12:43 shelving that is built in here and if

12:45 you go through the master bedroom and up

12:48 this stairwell there's a whole other

12:50 level all right got

12:58 oh oh my gosh look look how look I'm not

12:58 even I'm not even complet completely

12:59 standing up I'm like this is how I have

13:01 to stand in this room like this my

13:03 head's touching the ceiling I have to

13:05 bend my

13:06 knees I stand straight up this is what

13:09 I'm looking this is what I'm dealing

13:11 with like

13:18 this I do love the creaky floorboards

13:18 however adds a little bit of ambiance to

13:21 the experience this is Alice their

13:24 daughter her bed was over here in the

13:26 corner where the seating area is now and

13:29 the reason I know that is because this

13:31 old photo shows the bed basically

13:34 blocking the door it would have been

13:37 right there but if you look at the photo

13:39 even the walls and the windows all still

13:41 look the same including check this out

13:44 right here this little cushiony

13:46 wallpaper that's it while in the photo

13:49 it would have been right there entering

13:52 into one of the biggest rooms in the

13:54 house it's amazing how small and Tiny

13:58 some of the rooms are but yet this one

14:00 it's just

14:01 gargantuan and these give a little bit

14:04 of a slight creepy

14:07 overtone I wonder if these are created

14:10 after the likeness of the family members

14:14 like reminds me of What About Bob when

14:16 Richard draus had a doll that looked

14:18 like himself these chairs are amazing

14:21 this one the two-seater reminds me of

14:22 that old Saturday life skit of the love

14:25 toilet remember that the love I was

14:28 literally the exact same thing and look

14:31 directly above the light fixture you can

14:33 see an old painting remnants of it that

14:36 have decomposed over time the moisture

14:38 and the elements in here have probably

14:40 caused it to start chipping away there

14:43 are some cherubs some birds even looks

14:45 like maybe some sort of a a wheel or a

14:49 carriage or something right there that

14:51 was probably very extravagant and

14:54 beautiful at one point they had a lot of

14:56 parties in here and they nicknamed this

14:57 room Cupid's Park he didn't like people

15:00 kissing in public however so he built

15:02 this room over here this was the make

15:05 out closet not even joking that was

15:08 where it's where the magic happened

15:10 whatever you

15:12 do don't look down oh my gosh look at

15:16 room what the

15:19 heck looks like we saved the best for

15:21 last at the very top this is an old this

15:25 is an old theater look at the stage

15:29 wow the chandeliers and the

15:32 paintings this is incredible and I think

15:35 up on the

15:36 stage this was used for puppet shows

15:39 which were probably in the other room

15:41 that I just showed you would kneel down

15:43 behind here stick the puppets Up and

15:45 everyone would watch the puppets sing

15:48 and dance and tell stories in order to

15:51 exit we have to go back behind the stage

15:53 and then head straight down this rather

15:56 narrow very well two

15:59 two and 1 half story staircase made of

16:11 wood oh there's a broken

16:11 mirror that's bad

16:14 luck he lived here for a while when he

16:16 was single and that's when he had horses

16:18 and this was the hay loft when he got

16:19 married his wife said take the horses

16:22 off property and decorate this room into

16:24 something else and that's what it looks

16:26 like now and then it goes into not a

16:28 closet

16:29 but another room a teeny tiny room which

16:33 in my opinion doesn't really make a lot

16:35 of sense and then go straight down

16:37 continuing down these wooden stairs even

16:41 farther into a smaller Corridor while I

16:44 love the architecture of this place and

16:46 would really enjoy living here it does

16:48 not a lot of there's not really a lot of

16:50 room to get through here I could go down

16:53 this way but I think it makes more sense

16:55 to go in here it seems to be a better

16:57 option they also had a separate

17:00 ouse walk underneath there show how

17:02 short that is don't

17:05 duck yeah that uh that could leave a

17:23 mark so there you have it the

17:23 self-proclaimed strangest house in the

17:26 world I tend to agree

17:34 there's a mural of the house itself look

17:34 at that an old Bull Durham smoking

17:38 tobacco

17:39 painting pretty cool the weather sure

17:42 cleared up look at those

17:50 clouds cumula

17:50 nimus

17:52 Vlog over
