This house is set to be demolished for a new two-storey property.
Explored in 2022 with the power still on. I saw signs of people being inside in 2021 as well. Q: Why the funky music? A: I grew up with the Commodore 64 computer Q: Why is the camera all over the place? A: It's my intention to document was is, and what will never be. So I pan across photos, papers, etc. Enjoy my wackiness. Q: When was this taken? A: On a cold day in 2022. Q: Who is with you? A: Ninjas. The Municipality of Leamington purchased the former high school lands on July 14, 2020 with the intention to build new affordable housing. A Concept Plan divides the land into three segments with 293 residential units. 216 of those units would be in three six-storey midrise buildings. 53 units would be townhouses. A Request for Proposals was issued with the accepted proposal being Amico Acquisitions Inc. Amico’s preliminary concept plan includes two six-storey apartment buildings, with 95 and 105 units respectively, for a total of 200 apartment units and 105 townhome units for a project total of 305 dwelling units.

This house was built in 1973. It sits behind a gated driveway up on a hill. It was designed to resemble a castle and features indoor pool, hardwood floors, home theatre room, and two master bedrooms. The house was purchased for $1.7 million in 2007 by a businessman from China. The house has had mostly short-term rentals since that time. https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/abandoned-ontario-mansions/follow-the-money-castle-house/ #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
This house has a long history dating back to 1860, when it was originally built. It features a gable roof with dormers, two-storey veranda and gingerbread. The Italianate style house belonged to David Reesor, the son of Christopher Reesor and Margaret Armstrong. David and his brother Robert owned numerous properties in the southern Ontario area. The David Reesor property became known as the Silver Spring Farm. Mr. Reesor bred horses and cattle in Manitoba which they imported from overseas. They held livestock auctions at the farm dating back to at least 1872. The eight acre property was the site of some huge social gatherings. In 1886, a Monster Social was held with over 5,000 people attending. The Monster Social was hosted by members of the Zion Presbyterian Church. The Ontario and Quebec railroad lines ran eight rail cars from Toronto to the Silver Spring Farm for the event. The trains would then wait at the siding at Locust Hill to return the visitors home. A stage coach ran every 20 minutes from Markham Village to take passengers to the social event. Hundreds of attendees arrived in vehicles in addition to those who arrived by train. There were tables set up across the vast property and Chinese lanterns hanging from the trees. The Massey band, a concertina band and bagpipes played at the event. https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/abandoned-ontario-mansions/goosebumps/ #abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #ontario #abandoned #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
This house was built in 1977 and features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house is situated in an area of Ontario known for luxury homes. The house had a series of short-term ownerships. By 2011 it was being lived in by a Mr. Mark V. H. In 2012 the house was sold for $1,500,000. Then just three years later in 2015, it sold for $1,950,000. The house was then vacated between 2016 and 2019 and the owner attempted to rent out the property. By 2019 the property was falling into disrepair. Finally, in April of 2023 it was purchased for $3 million (I believe) by a Stephanie Saccoccia. https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/abandoned-ontario-mansions/wheres-the-casino/ #abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #ontario #explore #urbex #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
A quick walk through of a rural farm house. Next to the house was a barn with horses and what I believe were sheep. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
This was the home of Melville who was born in 1906. He married a woman named Ruth, also born in 1906 and together they raised six children: J., G., R., G., V. and V. The family were Jehovah's Witnesses which is evident in the 35 mm slide photos. The photos, taken in 1972, show an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses which likely saw members from around the world attend. Melville passed away in 1980, and Ruth passed away in 1970. Shortly after Melville passed away, the house was transferred to one of the sons. The son would have been about 41 when he inherited the house from his father. Interestingly enough, there was another house title transfer in 2006 but with the same names on the title. https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/houses/ball-cap-house/ #abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #timecapsule #urbanexploration #timecapsule #exploring #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
Urban exploring is not the same as abandoned. This property is real estate, nothing more. Also I introduce you to my finger which felt it necessary to be present in part of the video. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedmansion #abandonedfarmhouse #urbanexploration #ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedhouses #urbex
