This house is located in Middlesex County along a busy highway. Someone appears to be using it for storing personal items outside as a boat comes and goes. The caldendar inside shows 1986 which makes this property aver three decades vacant.The highlight are the assorted vintage television sets as well as some clothing hanging in an upstairs room. There are assorted bills on the flor dating back to the 1980’s. The house was been picked over but still has no vandalism and remains a popular place to photograph.

This house was located in Aurora, Ontario. It was built around 1960. It last owner was a man named Arne Fredericksen. Arne bred racing horses and founded two other farms in Ontario which are active to this day.Arne was born in 1924 and passed away in 1998. The house was left as un untouched time capsule for a few years until 2013 when it was purchased by a developer. PhotographicTime and I spent several hours in long weekend rush hour traffic on August 2, 2013 to reach this house, where it did not disappoint. The power still worked.Original coordinates: 44.022861,-79.420436

The Norm Elder cottage was an amazing collection of buildings that housed artifacts collected by a Toronto resident named Norm Elder. Norman Sam Elder was born on August 12, 1939. He could be described as being eccentric – an explorer, exotic animal owner, writer, artist, and an Olympic equestrian all in one.Norm operated the Norman Elder Museum which was located at 140 Bedford Road in Toronto. Norm’s Museum has an assortment of exotic animals including a 90 year old turtle named Tony Tortuis. Norm also had two large pythons and a boa constrictor that he kept in the basement. Sometimes…

A rural farm house set back from the road with old vehicles in the driveway. At first glance, you might think that someone’s home but as you venture closer you see that the vehicles don’t have recent plates.This was a very intact time capsule house which has since been cleaned out. At the time of my visit it looked like someone had been packing items into boxes, perhaps after a recent death in the household.

The adventure begins at 3 AM, when I rose out of bed after just a few short hours of sleep. I was intent on arriving at this time capsule house before the sun had risen, because I expected difficulties in finding a way inside. I arrived at my destination shortly after 6 AM and parked at a property across the road. Sleep was out of the question, I’ve never been able to fall asleep in the driver’s seat. I took a quick peek of the house and felt my way around the door as it was still dark outside. I…

This property is located along a back road. The house is very much a time capsule house, in that everything is left as it would have been when someone was living there. There’s some water damage to the roof and some items have been tossed about but the damage is minimal.The power still works, which is always puzzling as someone presumably pays the bill. The kitchen still has canned goods and the fridge, although emitting a horrendous foul odor has what looks like fresh meat inside. The living room has items tossed about but the cabinets are where the real…

This house was simply wonderful to explore. The first thing you notice when you approach the house, is the smell. It stinks of rotting garbage outside. Inside the house, the air is easier to breathe. There’s an accumulation of black mold however, starting to grow in the rear kitchen area.The kitchen is filled with canned food and utensils. The bedrooms are completely made up. In the master bedroom you’ll find hundreds of photos, many of them of flowers that used to be in the garden. An old Singer sewing machine was discovered in one of the upper rooms. It disappeared…

This house is situated up a long driveway and is out of view from the road. The land is used for farming purposes but the house itself has remained untouched for many years. I’m going to suggest that it was a seasonally used property rather than a home. The last few years have seen the ceiling start to fall down. On a piano sits a photo of an older man and who is likely his grandson. Have the occupants passed away? There’s been no signs of life in this cottage for several years now. Fortunately most of the belingings are…

Located along a quiet rural road sits this gorgeous time capsule farm house. You wouldn’t know that there’s anything of interest inside, and would probably pass it by if you saw it along the side of the road. Inside is a completely untouched rural home with working electricity, and quilts on the made up beds. The man who owns this property lives in Toronto where he works as a jeweler. The land is used for farming potatoes. With even the doors boarded up, it would appear that the owner has no intention on returning any time soon. A dehumidifier runs…

This house was originally found by an explorer named Ground State.A woman named Madelyn Williamson lived in this house where she raised five children. Madelyn’s husband William, passed away in 1982. Since that time Madelyn remained in the house along with one of her adult sons (I believe he was named James). Madelyn passed away in 2013.At the time the house was discovered, the hydro was still working and there was zero vandalism. A TV table in front of the couch and a bottle of old ketchup adds an eerie look that the house was vacated suddenly.  One of the…
