The history of this piece of property dates back to the 19th century when a wealthy family of political background purchased this adjoining parcel of land to expand their estate. The families didn’t live on the additional property, but rather leased it out to tenants. The location was last used as a retreat that could…
$3.2 Million Ontario Real Estate
Just to be clear, this property isn’t abandoned. It’s for sale. And yes, we urban explored it 🙂 The house features a three car garage, four bedrooms, loft above the garage. The dining room has oak paneling, oak doors, wainscoting and a custom oak staircase. The entrance just to the right of the garage opens…
Beautiful Colonial Mansion in Ontario
As we approached this location, I did the customary drive by to scope it out. We parked down the street and I walked in alone first, so it would be less conspicuous. I went around back and found an open door. Once inside I texted my partner to come on in. The kitchen has a…
Abandoned GTA Heritage Property with Electricity
This location is a nineteenth century two-storey rural farm house. The front has a three-bay front facade and a double door entrance. At one time this house would have beamed with pride and joy, but over the years the grass has grown, boards have gone up over the windows and the basement has flooded. Someone…
Abandoned 1844 Anglican Church Ontario
This lovely church was built in 1844. It’s one of those churches that occasionally sees the doors being left unlocked out of trust. Unfortunately we know that not everyone shares the same sense of decency when it comes to unlocked churches. The guestbook’s last entry was 2013.

Douglas Park opened in…
Abandoned Ontario Mushroom Dormitory
This is an abandoned building in front of the Monaghan Mushroom Farm. The dormitory building was previously home to migrant workers who hailed primarily from Latin America. At least one room still has house rules in Spanish on the door. The main floor has numerous rooms. There is also a basement, which is in two…
No Place Like Dome
An unusually shaped building that appears to have never been completed. There’s a second building on the property which wasn’t accessible during my first visit, but has since been opened. There’s really not much more to be said about No Place Like Dome. 🙂
Abandoned Saint-Bernardin de-Sienne Church

It was built around 1955 as part of a post-Second World War movement to expand the Catholic Church’s reach into Montreal communities. Due to declining congregation it closed in 2013.

The Kirk Christmas Time Capsule House
This is the story of Eileen Kirk. Eileen’s house was an amazing time capsule in Gravenhurst, Ontario. It wasn’t a house where time had stopped ticking during the 1970’s or 80’s but rather the 1990’s. Regardless, this house was perfectly preserved when we photographed it in the summer of 2015.In term of abandoned houses, the…
