When the occupants of this house left, they left behind many memories in the form of photo albums.There is no further information on the family.

This property was first settled in 1862 by Scottish farmer James McCallum in Huron County. The Scottish were experts in stone masonry as seen by the construction of the exterior of the house. The best feature of course was the winding staircase. It began to break away from the wall after many years of elements entering from a gap in the roof. The upstairs ceiling has now fallen down and covers the top of the staircase.

A large house in Woodstock with a three car garage and a loft above. There’s a yucky inground pool out back. Apparently the house was owned by a man named Dan Murray, an auctioneer who lived in the house with his wife Shirley and their two children. In 2011, Dan passed away. The house was vacated around 2016 and has sat dormant ever since. The outcome will most likely be demolition by developer. Video

This house is located along a busy highway in Southern Ontario. It has a few interesting features such as the skeleton key locks, stairway railing and old Singer sewer. The most obvious feature, or hazard, is the obscene amount of black mold growing inside.

Circus clowns have existed in culture since the 18th century. Despite their lengthy history, people today find them to be scary. Perhaps this can be attributed to movies like Stephen King’s “IT”. This house had a beautiful backyard at one point in time. There was plenty of outdoor space, an in ground pool, and pool house. The house had a deck that overlooked into the backyard. There’s nothing spectacular about the house itself. The basement suffered a fire which I presume led to the occupant’s leaving. The roof has a large hole in it. Several boxes of belongings, mainly hand…

If you think about it, urban exploring is much like Halloween. You go from house to house, knock on the door and see if there’s a treat or a trick. I’ve never heard of anyone being tricked though. Will you hit the jackpot and get a can of pop? Will it be the coveted single Reese piece cup? Or how about the Double Bubble individually wrapped gum? Those always made your candy bag smell nice. My brother used to try hiding his candy bag and I’d always find it. After all, how many hiding places can there be? I remember one…

The contents of this house, located on Lord Seaton Road, were sold off in February of 2020 as part of an estate sale. The owners either sold the house or are deceased. An application has been filed to demolish the house. There’s nothing remarkable about my photos, the space was a little too confined for the wide angle photos and the composition is rather boring. Still, there were some cool aspects of this house including the staircase, wallpapered ceilings and the basement bar.

This house is situated on an active street in Somewhere, Ontario. It was built in 1957. A single family has occupied the home for the entire time. They also didn’t change many of the design details, as you’ll see from the photos. The house features six bedrooms and four out-of-this-world retrolicious bathrooms. The house can be accessed from doors on the front, side and rear. The front door opens into a small entrance way with closet for jackets, etc. Beyond this is the living room with its large 12-pane peak window to allow in plenty of natural light. One has…

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 has gone through significant effort to barricade the front door, while the side door is wide open. This is testament to the ongoing efforts of preservation versus destruction minded individuals. The property has been added to the town’s Heritage Registry but with the water damage,…

This is another of the many Toronto houses that have become vacant due to their aging interiors. For the urban explorer however these are terrific finds. The basement bar is typical of the 70’s style, the bathroom is wallpapered including the ceiling, and that thick carpeting of course! Video
