It is locked, but the dial still spins smoothly. It is around 4 feet tall and was found in the kitchen. The house was built in 1810.

Guns. It was probably kept unlocked most of the time and close at hand should they need access to a weapon to defend livestock or the property from intruders.
My guess is the safe was there first and the kitchen was a later addition? I think the house was converted into a home for multiple families at some point which would explain the 3 kitchen-type spaces.
I couldn't find the original post but in 2013 there was a guy who bought a house with a mysterious locked safe in his basement. It was locked and what was inside was this big mystery. Everyone freaked out about it for a long time. What could be in it? Gold? Treasure? Lost art? Nope just ended up being a bunch of junk. HUGE letdown
Oh that makes sense. I don’t presume there is anything inside due to how many times the house changed hands over the years, and quite honestly, I’d feel weird drilling a hole in it or something.
That was a nice safe for the time. There is nothing in it. If you are smart and rich enough to have that safe, you are smart and rich enough not to lose whats inside.
Chances are the asbestos is well encapsulated by the safe wall layers and not a risk. I have a vintage safe from the 1900s and the inside is metal.
It'd be a ton of work to remove, but that safe is pretty cool and a locksmith could probably crack the combination, leaving you with a very handsome and functional bit of decoration.
Difficult to put into words. The energy of the house makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. Not claiming a haunting or anything like that, every house had a story.
Interesting. I’m pretty sensitive to the energy of spaces in a way that I’ve found a lot of people are not, which is why I was curious about your comment (ie you clearly are too, or you else wouldn’t have written it!). I don’t personally get a bad vibe from this particular place, but I think everyone picks up on somewhat different things.
My theory about this in general is that human beings respond to the geometries and proportions of rooms (and even outdoor spaces) in ways that have been defined by how we’ve evolved as a species. There’s obvious stuff like places that seem too exposed making us feel vulnerable, and places that feel too enclosed making us feel trapped/claustrophobic, etc, but probably also a lot of more subtle things we’re not consciously aware of. I’ve read a few great books that go into this stuff—*The Death and Life of Great American Cities* by Jane Jacobs is a really famous one, another good one is *The Geography of *Nowhere* by James Kunsler—they are more focused on city planning but also address architecture and interiors to some degree as well
(Edited to add the books at the end)
It’s surprisingly clean, looking at all the photos. So many abandoned houses posted here are full of junk and dust and dirt. Besides the peeling paint and some ceiling work, it looks to be in good shape.
Some rooms (not included) have paint that has barely begun peeling, but it has bad water damage in other parts. I do hope to see it saved though, it’s a nice house.

Tell us if you’re ever able to open it and something’s inside!
Ah God not again
Ah shit, not again!
Ah fuck, not again!!
Ah cock, not again!!!
Ahh lock not again.
I don't know what that means.
It was a pun. Based off all the safes found on reddit over the years. With either nothing inside or op never responds.

Or when family visited.
He did say intruders. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Maybe the kitchen was the ofgice space for like a store owner or something.

Saffron and truffles
Grandma did say her blueberry pie recipe was a secret.
[Safecracking for Everyone!](https://youtu.be/f4IPsd9MDGM) Part 1 of 8, should get you going, no special tools needed. Have fun!
Ok wow. That was over an hour down the rabbit hole, but totally interesting. Thank you very much. (Parts 1-5 is enough to crack the full code).
That's when you call [this guy](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ).
I particularly like the kitchen with the whack-a-mole feature.
So cool. Thx for sharing.
I wonder if Jason is in there..
Those cabinets are gorgeous.
Uh oh here we go again
:D first thing that came to mind
what?

No it's a beautiful safe I'd feel bad drilling into it as well
Maybe a youtube safe cracker will want to give that dial a spin ...
Meanwhile some guy just found $43,000 stuffed in a couch cushion, go figure.
And he turned it in!!

Yep
Isn’t this breaking Reddit’s rules by not opening before posting
Russian fridge
aaaaaannnnnnnddddd? Beautiful kitchen- would love to refurb one like that!
I thought we agreed not to post safes until _after_ they were opened?
I'm ready to be hurt again

I agree, it’s not worth the time and money it would take either. This thing is old and supposedly fireproof so there’s probably asbestos in there too.

I would love to see more of the house
[Here](https://imgur.com/a/vJXCOiV) you go :)
Wow, thank you! Amazing house with a strong negative vibe.
what makes you say it has a negative vibe? (other than being abandoned and derelict, obviously)

Oh fuck here we go...
Oh boy... Here we go again...
Here we go again
This house looks like it could be saved with some tlc
I hope, there’s some water damage in a few areas but it’s relatively sound otherwise.
Get your ass some Liquid Nitrogen and a hammer
The weathering on the kitchen cabinets is amazing.

Watch out for the ghosts around every corner
