The post calls it an untouched time capsule, and then it gives the date: the home is stuck in the 1960s and 70s. That is the whole premise of the place. Walk through the door, the explorer writes, and it is like walking back in time — the rooms still hold what was there decades ago, while the world outside moved on to a different style entirely.
The post was published in November 2025. It says there is plenty of mould in each room, and cobwebs hanging from the ceilings to the walls. Everything in this article comes from that post and from the five photographs shown here. No address is given, and no owner is named. This is a different house from the “Old Abandoned Farm House With Vehicles Left Behind” published earlier on this site — that one is a stone cottage with vehicles outside, while this one is an interior time capsule with no vehicles in the photographs shown here
The green living room
There is no photograph of the outside of this farmhouse among the five shown here, so the featured image is the strongest interior: the living room. Three green upholstered armchairs sit around a tiled fireplace, under peeling floral wallpaper. A heart-shaped mirror hangs above the fireplace. Orange curtains frame the window, and a yellow pendant lampshade hangs from the ceiling. Clutter, boxes and magazines are piled on the chairs.
It is a room that has not been redecorated since the decade it was furnished in, and then it was not redecorated at all. The green chairs, the orange curtains, the yellow lampshade — the colours belong to a particular era, and they are still here, faded but unmistakable, because nobody ever came back to change them.
A second photograph of the same room, taken from another angle, shows floral-patterned armchairs and sofas around the same tiled fireplace, three decorative jugs on the mantelpiece, pink flowers at the hearth, and a large black mould stain on the wall above the fireplace. Yellow patterned wallpaper, yellow curtains, cobwebs in the corner. The room is the same room, and the decay is the same decay, seen from the other side.
The radio and the records
The smaller photographs are the ones that date the house. A close-up shows a vintage Stella radio receiver, its brand name at the bottom left, its round tuning dial in the middle, sitting on a green patterned fabric surface with patterned wallpaper and cardboard boxes behind it. It is a radio from a time when the radio was the centre of the living room.
Then there is the record player, with a vinyl record on it and a “Christmas Carols” LP sleeve propped in the open lid — Santa with two children on the cover — against peeling wallpaper. The same LP turns up again in the photograph of the dressing table, leaning against the right-hand side. Somebody played Christmas carols on this record player, and then the record was put back in its sleeve, and then it stayed there.
| Photograph | What it shows | What it dates |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The living room | Three green armchairs, tiled fireplace, heart-shaped mirror | The furniture and colours of the 1960s and 70s |
| 2. The Stella radio | Vintage radio receiver with a round tuning dial | A radio from before television took over the living room |
| 3. The record player | Vinyl record with a “Christmas Carols” LP sleeve | Records as the household’s music, not streaming |
| 4. The dressing table | Dark-wood vanity, mirror, floral jug, bottles, cups | A bedroom kept as it was, plates still on the floor |
| 5. The living room, again | The same fireplace, mould stain above it, cobwebs | How long the room has stood untouched |
The dressing table
The fourth photograph deserves its own paragraph, because it is the most personal of the five. An ornate dark-wood dressing table, with a large mirror, a carved top shelf holding a floral jug, small bottles and cups, and a floral teacup on the left. The cupboard doors and drawers below stand open. Plates sit on the floor. The mirror reflects the tiled fireplace across the room.
A dressing table is where somebody sat every morning. The bottles and the cups, the jug and the teacup, the open drawers — they are the objects of a daily routine, left mid-routine. The post says “if only the walls could talk”, and this is the photograph that makes you understand why. The room does not explain itself. It just shows you where somebody sat, and what they left on the table.
What we do not know
The post does not say who lived here, when they left, or why the house was never cleared. It says the home is stuck in the 1960s and 70s, that there is mould in every room, and that it was “another sad once loved home left derelict and decay”. That is all. The photographs add the details — the green chairs, the Stella radio, the Christmas record — but they do not add a history.
The house is not for sale in the post, and no sale is claimed here. It is simply a farmhouse that stopped, and stayed stopped, while the decades went past it.
For a contrast with a house that is lived in and on the market, see a lived-in 1902 home in Alexandria, Minnesota, where the questions are about upkeep and price rather than about what a closed house leaves behind. More houses in this condition are gathered in abandoned houses and in abandoned mansions, and the site’s front page is abandoned.blog.
FAQ
Where is this farmhouse?
No location is given in the post, and none is given here.
Why is it called a time capsule?
The post says the home is stuck in the 1960s and 70s, with its furniture, radio and records still in place as they were left.

Green armchairs, a tiled fireplace, a Stella radio, a record player with a Christmas Carols LP, a dark-wood dressing table, jugs, bottles and cups, among other things — as shown in the five photographs here.
Is there a photograph of the outside?
Not among the five photos shown here. The featured image is the living room, the strongest interior in the set.
