I found these two abandoned houses in the City of Markham, Ontario on a cloudy January day. They were my first explorations of the year. The first house had leaves in the driveway and certainly looked vacant. I observed footprints in the snow that led to the front door, so I was hesitant about approaching. I made my way to the living room windows and peered inside. The living room was empty inside and so I made my way around the back where I found a door was open. There was little of interest inside as the house is neither a heritage property or a mansion.

The second house was located at the end of the same street as the first house. It attracted my attention when I saw it had fencing put up in front of it. It looked like it could still be lived in but the missing hydro meter confirmed that it was vacant. I had no issues finding my way inside this one.
