Jack and Audrey Newton were siblings who also happened to be best friends, so they decided to move back into their family home together after their parents passed away.

The two lived in the nine-bedroom Queen Anne-style house for seventy years, never stopping working the land there even well into their 80s. Sadly, Audrey passed away in 2011, and Jack followed her four years later. They left no surviving family members, so their estate went into limbo, and it eventually went up for auction.

When auctioneers arrived at the property to check it out, they were blown away when they opened the doors. The contents of the home were virtually untouched from the time the siblings inherited it in the 1940s, making it a unique time capsule into the past.

The home is an amazing look into how people lived after the Great Depression.

A video tour of the home has gone viral, as social media users cannot get enough of it.

“Fascinating….certainly one of a kind,” one user wrote. “For that reason, it should be preserved as is, altogether, left as is. What a crime to auction off any of these historical treasures. I would love to see and experience this step into the past! Simply amazing and wonderful.”

“I love this house. It’s like you’re walking through a house frozen in time,” another added. “I would live here in a heartbeat. It looks like a cozy, comfortable place. It should definitely be kept as it is. It’s beautiful.”
