Don’t Go In the Fridge

A somewhat boring house with a disgusting fridge.


Taken to the Cleaners

abandoned woodbridge house

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom bungalow sits on prime land along a busy road with large subdivisions behind it. The address comes back to Cadet Cleaners, a dry cleaning service. Based on the interior of the house, it was most certainly a residence but may have operated as a drop off location for clothing.Most of the furniture has been left behind in the living room, as well as the kitchen appliances. Given the area in which the house is located, it’s been well visited by those seeking destruction. The fridge was toppled over, the stairs ripped out, and most of the glass…


Toronto Full Moon Window House

This house contains 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and is located in the City of Toronto. It was last owned in by a Chinese family. During our exploration, we noted several Chinese vases left on the kitchen countertop. The owner wrote software for Android devices.The highlight of this property is the wooden stairs, intricately carved doors and the large porthole window above the main entrance. The electricity is still functioning. The familiar orange fencing surrounding the trees indicates to me that the property is destined to be demolished and the trees will be spared. I could find no mention online…

The Guyitt House is said to be Canada’s most photographed house. The house is located along the Talbot Trail (now known as Highway 3) in Palmyra, Ontario. Talbot Trail was named after Colonel Thomas Talbot, who during the 1820s, constructed the corduroy road to allow settlers and military personnel access to the land. The Guyitt house was built in 1842 with additions added to it in 1920 and the 1940’s. It was purchased in 1908 by Roy Guyitt and Ethel Humphrey. Marriage records for the couple indicate that they were married on February 23, 1910 in Kent, Ontario. Roy came…


Learning To Fly

markham ontario abandoned house

  This location was known as The Drug Dealer’s House. I could find no evidence of drug dealing and the house was pretty much a mess. However the house next door was a little better. It had a very old stove/oven built into the basement wall, in an inexplicable location. There was a calendar dated 1977 and written in the cement was “Dino Accettone Oct. 22, 1978”. Dino is still kicking around and operates a funeral home. We found two model helicopters inside the house, the type that you control with a remote control. You can see a similar helicopter…

The Aladdin House as it’s often referred to as, belonged to Max Heiduczek. Max bought the home, located at 110 Maybourne in Scarborough, in 1970. Max traveled the world and inspiration for his home’s design came from his worldly travels. The house features turrets, minarets, columns, and statues.The house is sometimes referred to as “the castle” and the city’s “weirdest” home.” In September of 2018 as Max’s health was fading, he sold the house to a builder for $760,000 and moved into a retirement home.The buyer intended to demolish the house and build a new home. It’s now been 4 years…


Aerosmith House

This was a random find along the roads in Adjala-Tosorontio. The main floor had a kitchen, living room and bathroom. The upper floor contained a bedroom and hot tub room with a skylight. There was little of interest to be found inside.


Tinder Swindler House (GTA)

We returned to this area in April 2022 after having previously explored a house next to it in the winter. This one was difficult to tell if there was anyone living inside, it looked like it could go either way. I walked up to the front door and peered inside. I observed some Harvey’s fast food leftovers on the kitchen table. With that, we noped right out of there. A short while later I decided I wanted to have another look at this house. I walked around the back and looked inside. There was an absence of furniture and the…


Richmond Hill House

Explored in April of 2022.


Heinekin House (GTA)

While searching for another abandoned house, we passed by this one. This house had ‘the look’ and so we stopped to take a closer look. The driveway had weeds, the grass was overgrown, and the roof was in rough shape. I walked around doing a cursory inspection and made my way to the back. The door opened! The kitchen countertop had used utensils on it. A garbage can was filled with food. The fridge was working and inside were pizza boxes and a case of Heinekin. I didn’t check for any expiry dates. In an adjacant room were several liquor…
