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…

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…

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…

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…

This lovely old house belonged to Doris and Donald Barber, who lived in Guelph, Ontario. The Barber family began a painting and glazing store in 1883. Since that time, the family has expanded into custom glass, mirrors and antique glass. Doris began a business framing art (The Barber Gallery). There were three businesses operating under…

The urban exploring community chooses to give locations names in an effort to be able to communicate and differentiate them in discussions. The reference for this abandoned house is simply the “Money House”, the reason for this will soon be explained. The house is located along a quiet rural road in an area where it’s…

This abandoned house is located in West Elgin, Ontario. It was a random find while on route to another destination. Take note of the wooden staircase and the elaborate design, and the newel posts.
