There's not much abandoned buildings here, but this place has a neat story, so i tried to find where the original house might have been. The story goes that back in the 19th century, loggers would float with their logs from upstate new york down the allegheny river to the mills in pittsburgh, a journey which took three days. The return trip, walking upriver, took three weeks. At a place where a creek joins the river stood a house which served as a landmark for these travelers, due to its unusual size and deep crimson color. But the family who lived there was said to have been torn apart by the civil war, leaving the home abandoned, and some said haunted. By 1879 the house was described as "long ago having fallen to ruin and vanished," but the creek that joins the river where the house once stood, was still known as red house creek, and when the town was established, it was also named red house. much of the town of red house was absorbed into the allegany state park in 1921, leaving only a small downtown area and a hamlet called frecks, named after the family that had lived in the original red house. The interstate that was built thru the area in the 1950's severed the road between the downtown and the hamlet, and the downtown area slowly faded away, leaving the hamlet as the last remaining neighborhood in the town, and also leaving the town as the least populated town in all of New York State. I am trying to get to the old downtown area, to see what can be seen. 00:20 - this was the road between the downtown and the hamlet. it now ends at the entry ramp of the interstate. i try to get to the town this way but the road is too flooded. 00:56 - now i am trying a different way, after having backtracked to the city of salamanca and found an old frontage road that runs parallel to the interstate. before the interstate was built, this frontage road would have been the main road between red house and salamanca. 01:26 - there were several of these little side roads i was unable to explore due to time and weather 02:05 - the allegheny river 02:44 - this weird intersection is where the old downtown was 05:11 - a wild animal sharpens its claws here 07:31 - the red house creek meets the allegheny river right behind the closest grove of trees you see growing on these islands. the original red house was said to stand at the place where the creek and river meet. 08:21 - from here on is random footage from the hamlet and other random isolated buildings sprinkled around the township .....
