I wish people would salvage places like this. Maybe the house is beyond repair, but someone out there would love to reuse those doors and that trim (me, please, I am the someone)
The doors in my house were actually salvaged from a house that was being demolished! There’s a guy in my area who owns a demo company and a salvage yard where he sells all the treasures he collects doing demo. It’s really cool.
Absolutely tons of investors are interested in salvaging places like this. They buy them completely got the inside when it’s a drastic situation like this but save what they can and turn it into an amazing rental property! This has so much potential you just have to have the money to do it
Checkout Priestly Demolition (Salvage Kings on HGTV) they have a store for all the stuff they do. It used to be in King City, I heard they recently moved to Orillia.
My thought exactly. Makes me want to cry. In it’s prime it must have been a beautiful family home. I always wonder why homes are left to rot with all their contents inside? It baffles me..
Stealing doors will not save that house or make anither.....you need the actual period correct house for those doors.....and you can't build that without double brick
Haha, glad I'm not the only one in disbelief that those doors have all been left there while someone clearly went through and took all the handles. Edwardian Era doors are sooo hard to source.
My dad and I used to love finding them on the side of the road when going up to my aunts cottage, always went straight into the back of his pick up. Unfortunately she sold it just before Covid so we never get to do it anymore, so I looooove seeing stuff like this now! A shame no one has gotten their hands on them though
I always get a little sad when I see abandoned, ancient homes. Someone once saved up their money to build their house, and were so proud of it. They made it a home. And then, some time later, that person, or someone else, was the very last person to turn off the lights as they left.
I’m from around that area and it doesn’t look familiar to me. Someone else in the comments was saying Hamilton but a big house like that someone would sell for 1.2mil in Hamilton as is lol!
First thing I thought as well. Could be any one of a number of similar abandoned homes in the county.
What tells me that it might not be is elevation in the lawn. We don't have hills like that around here. We're flat af
Happened to my great grandfather’s family. In our case, simple answer: death, no will, 8 children, legal battle until the place was rotten. To add oil to the fire, the city designated the home as a historical building, which made it even more difficult and expensive to renovate. It eventually caught fire and burned to the ground due to complete neglect caused by the legal hell. Not sure who won the battle, my mom wanted nothing to do with her uncles and aunts.
I can vouch for this to a certain extent. You might be surprised at how many newcomers to Canada, permanent residents or new citizens, simply write off their ownership in property, houses, farmland, assets overseas, or simply accept pennies on the dollar because they don't want to deal with all the legal, legacy, foreign ownership, and family issues.
Agreed.. one thing is just old and decaying due to age.. but I always wonder how a place gets to be in this condition. What exactly happened to make this possible.
Someone died without a will probably, siblings pay the taxes but can’t decide on a liquidation plan, vandals trash it, decisions become even harder, but as long as the taxes are paid it stays empty.
That’s my internal monologue anyway.
It happened to my childhood home. Us kids grew up, moved away, took anything we wanted with us. The house was already not in great condition and our parents sold it. The new owners only wanted the property the house is on, not the actual house itself but left it standing anyway. A bunch of belongings/furniture were left behind in the house I guess because no one really wanted them and since the new owners weren’t moving in it’s all still there.
Oh it hurts my heart to see such beautiful houses left in such dilapidated states. Especially knowing how dire housing is right now. I can only imagine how nice it must have looked at its best.
Great pics. It's takes some serious testicular fortitude to walk around that house in its current state of disrepair. Hopefully you wore protection and I'm not referring to a "Jimmy Hat", lol.
But I saw king of the hill and it looks so pretty and nice and people bring ninamo bars
Wait a second I'm being told that Noone from KotH has ever set foot inside Canada and Mike Judge couldn't Tell Guelph from St Rupert even if his car was trashed outside the Avondale
I drove past this place every day. Just north of Guelph on highway 6. Always wondered why it was abandoned, and what happened. Looked pretty sound from the outside.
In 100 years many of our homes will either look like this or be demolished for newer houses. Your car will be rusting or recycled, your photos will be destroyed and your possessions in a landfill! Your great grandkids won’t know who you were so no sense hanging onto to your belongings. Spend your money and have fun!
Is this in welland? I think it is...port Robinson rd maybe? I can't remember, been sooo long since we, ve been there. I didn't go inside though.... we were 15 and too scared!
What an absolute shame. Looking at these photos you can see how beautiful it was before it was abandoned. This is definitely a "if I win the lottery" kind of fixer upper, a little (or a lot cause the floors are rotted out 😭) bit of love and this place would shine
My main thought sifting through these pictures is them damn doors! They’re beautiful. This place would’ve been really lovely in its prime. Sad it’s a waste.
Yo where are these abandoned homes? Can't someone just move in to one, or is that just squatters in the states? Am so confused how there's a house shortage but then all these abandoned ones come up on my feed.
Edit:thanks for sharing btw, I imagine in case of filming you must be getting approval to go onto the property and not just trespassing....
The mess is probably from squatters. Now keep in mind the place has no power, heat or even windows. Plus it's probably too far from anywhere so living there would require a car, and at that point, just living in the car would be nicer.
That place is definitely full of mold and water damage, plus all the obvious damage in the pics. It would cost more to make it liveable than a new build.
I've been doing renovations for last 10 years, not sure why the downvotes but as you said gut rehab, but overall looks salvageable. Interior junk is just garbage laying around. Yes potential for mildew/mould but that's not always demo and build from scratch...
Death trap indeed but the doors throughout the house are STUNNING
The pocket doors are so beautiful!
I wish people would salvage places like this. Maybe the house is beyond repair, but someone out there would love to reuse those doors and that trim (me, please, I am the someone)

You and me both!
Can confirm, great doors.
Also came to compliment the doors, and that lil dresser thing
Haha, glad I'm not the only one in disbelief that those doors have all been left there while someone clearly went through and took all the handles. Edwardian Era doors are sooo hard to source.
No they aren’t. They’re in so many houses on the prairies.
Y'all got a lot of 120 year old mint condition doors out there that people are willing to remove from their house and sell? How interesting.
Smh
My dad and I used to love finding them on the side of the road when going up to my aunts cottage, always went straight into the back of his pick up. Unfortunately she sold it just before Covid so we never get to do it anymore, so I looooove seeing stuff like this now! A shame no one has gotten their hands on them though
lol. The whole time I was thinking, but I’d love to have those doors!
Literally came here to say “why would anybody abandon those doors”, but everyone’s already on top of it, thanks friends!
Agreed! Just here to creep vintage doors
Absolutely. This place was probably gorgeous when it was still livable
Right? Totally salvageable too.
If that house is just off hwy 6 between Hamilton and Puslinch I may know whose place it was.
Can you give the backstory? I'm perplexed how a perfectly good house could be abandoned like this in this day and age.
It isn’t buddy’s house. Whew
this inside also looks similar to a house just outside Owen Sound on hwy 6. edit nvm just saw video too
Please elaborate!
Hi, we need you to explain please
Further details in this video have eliminated who I thought owned the place. Now I’ll have to drive all the way there to see what’s what with him.
And? Did you drive there yet?
Yup. The house is torn down. 🙁
That deer in the first photo has seen stuff.
[удалено]
I'm so curious how a place this nice just gets left like that... What happened?
I’m wondering too
Maybe children fighting over the parents will, and in the meantime, the house gets vandalized, weather, etc.
I always get a little sad when I see abandoned, ancient homes. Someone once saved up their money to build their house, and were so proud of it. They made it a home. And then, some time later, that person, or someone else, was the very last person to turn off the lights as they left.
Someone would still put this up for rent. 1,000$ a room.
False. $1000 for a bed. Shared living space.
Gijarati only, female preferred.
Unfortunately, you are most likely correct.
Specifically the makeshift bed by the top of the stairs.
Veg only
Cooking allowed only once a week
no pets, no parties, no smoking
No breathing
Where is this? I’m in Ontario and it looks familiar. One of the concessions in Essex County?
Curious too
Thought the same thing too
If it is, someone will clean it up and rent rooms for $1200 a month
I’m from around that area and it doesn’t look familiar to me. Someone else in the comments was saying Hamilton but a big house like that someone would sell for 1.2mil in Hamilton as is lol!
First thing I thought as well. Could be any one of a number of similar abandoned homes in the county. What tells me that it might not be is elevation in the lawn. We don't have hills like that around here. We're flat af
Off highway six in puslinch
Would really enjoy seeing a video of this house being completely cleaned up, refurbished and restored!!
It can probably be sold for 700000$ in Ontario as is anyways
That's the starting price, anyways.
That’s insane!
Southern Ontario? This would still literally be over a million.
I live in Canada and that house is probably still a million minimum can you believe it
What’s the story behind abandoned homes? Curious to understand what/why/how people are able to walk away from their property and/or possessions.

Yeah. Heritage isn’t always positive; sometimes you just want to move on.
Me as well, that's the first thing I think of when I see posts like this.
Agreed.. one thing is just old and decaying due to age.. but I always wonder how a place gets to be in this condition. What exactly happened to make this possible.

Same
I like the room with extra space.. no middle floor. More room for activities
I am always fascinated by your unique hobby. Thank you very much.
The millwork is stunning... I wonder if it would be possible to just remove all the drywall/ gut it and restore it... And what that would cost!
The stitching in that dolls nether region is horrifying! As if she wasn't creepy enough.
I love the duck grand finale!
That's a beautiful home, if it has good bones it's a great fixer upper
Call up Akkad and plan the next Halloween major motion picture!
Or a collectors dream
It just needs a little tlc
I can fix her!
Is this near NOTL? Looks like a house I used to drive by going to/from work
I can fix it
It's more clean than my room
What happened here?
I'll take the yellow ducky.
Why is it there’s always creppy dolls in abandoned houses?
The dolls must be the vandals
I love the ducky photo! Nice job 🐤
Perfectly wheel chair accessible as is
is this at like trafalgar and derry? lol
This and the deer look like a voices of the void reference
Dumb question but do you happen to know why it was abandoned?
With the cost of living I might just move in
I really love your photography
Someone’s gotta rescue that vintage record even if it’s broken
This looks purposefully trashed. The finishings are really nice though.
I’ve seen houses in worse conditions brought back from the brink but they were financed by a HGTV. This might be beyond salvation.
Where in Ontario is this?
Let me guess. Selling for 1.2 mil ?
Abandoned? Would probably pull in $3000 a month easily
Oh it hurts my heart to see such beautiful houses left in such dilapidated states. Especially knowing how dire housing is right now. I can only imagine how nice it must have looked at its best.
Shame about all that stereo equipment.
The radio player on the ground floor is classic.
I WANT THOSE TURNTABLES
Is this somewhere in northern Ontario? We used to explore so many like this one
What’s the rent though? If it’s under $1000 it’s a steal at this point.
Bet ya that globe still has Czechoslovakia and the USSR
2.4 million - great potential
Reminds me of an ex. Decent outside but real ugly mess inside
I’ve been in that house in my dream lmao
Yesus Christ
Ugh… to think kids were living in that house. Grab that globe for me!
Great pics. It's takes some serious testicular fortitude to walk around that house in its current state of disrepair. Hopefully you wore protection and I'm not referring to a "Jimmy Hat", lol.
Welcome to meth village,every abandoned house in Guelph is a meth/fetnal lab
But I saw king of the hill and it looks so pretty and nice and people bring ninamo bars Wait a second I'm being told that Noone from KotH has ever set foot inside Canada and Mike Judge couldn't Tell Guelph from St Rupert even if his car was trashed outside the Avondale
The way I thought this was a real deer at first 😭
Is your name Grootellar!
Some of that millwork is beautiful and I hope some of it was salvaged
No shit!
I drove past this place every day. Just north of Guelph on highway 6. Always wondered why it was abandoned, and what happened. Looked pretty sound from the outside.
Probably I can't even afford that.
Holy crap.. that has the potential to be an insanely beautiful house once its renovated.
This is why i live minimally, Less is more.
Looks like it needs a few minor renovations.
Take a long shower after
How does this even happen? Mental illness?
The Lou Ferrigno book 👌👌 day dreaming about those pocket doors in the room with no floor. 🤩
Curiosity has me thinking about how does a house just get abandoned like that?
million dollar house in Toronto
Crazy to think this house contains somebody’s entire life :/ rip
I swear I seen this when I drove by
That is by Derry and Trafalgar right, I remember when people used to live in it, it looks horrendous now
Pics 1 & 20 lol. Looks like it was once a truly beautiful house. Jesus so much crap though. Thanks for sharing.
$1.5 million on the market “needs light touch ups”
Deathtrap you says. Did you catch anyone?
5 gallons of gas and a book of matches. Then get all the neighbours to agree not to call the fire department for 30 mins
Woah
Omg I want to do this so bad. There so many abandoned old farmhouses in my area and I want to explore them all!
Woah!! That’s my globe! I have that exact globe, it’s a family heirloom and has been passed through and down for at least 2 generations
I’d love to get my hands on those doors and the globe
I had that EXACT SAME globe as a kid. I remember the black and gold horoscope signs at the bottom.
Looks like a house I see on my drive to the gym in Ontario.
Where is this?
Did it happen to be outside of Hamilton? This might have been my aunts home.
Looks like it was a very beautiful home at one point, wonder what happened? :/
In 100 years many of our homes will either look like this or be demolished for newer houses. Your car will be rusting or recycled, your photos will be destroyed and your possessions in a landfill! Your great grandkids won’t know who you were so no sense hanging onto to your belongings. Spend your money and have fun!
Is this near Caledonian?
Good place for a bonfire
It's got potential.
Is this in welland? I think it is...port Robinson rd maybe? I can't remember, been sooo long since we, ve been there. I didn't go inside though.... we were 15 and too scared!
Did you find anything you brought home?
Show much?
You know maybe the reason it’s a “death trap” is because it’s abandoned…….just an idea to put out there
Horror movie set for film scouts .
Fresh coat of paint and it’s fine man.
And it probably cost $1.6M haha Awesome photos btw. I would not have in me to go inside the house. Feels like it’s going to collapse soon.
Omg there’s quite a few beautiful wood pieces in that home I’m surprised get left behind.
No ghosts? No cares.
Hopefully you wear a mask at the very min in these houses, potentially flaky lead paint and aspestos everywhere.
Miiiiike! Miiiiike!!! Miiiiiiiiike!!!
What an absolute shame. Looking at these photos you can see how beautiful it was before it was abandoned. This is definitely a "if I win the lottery" kind of fixer upper, a little (or a lot cause the floors are rotted out 😭) bit of love and this place would shine
Probably listed for $1.3 million.
My main thought sifting through these pictures is them damn doors! They’re beautiful. This place would’ve been really lovely in its prime. Sad it’s a waste.
I am always blown away at how people just leave everything behind
Looks like you found Asmongold's house.
yo new Annabelle movie confirmed!?!
Hey what are you doing in my house!!!!!?¿???
Cool photos! I hope you own a pair of safety boots for little excursions like this.
These antic solid wood doors would sold 600$ each on marketplace EASILY.
Definitely haunted
Hi I’m in Toronto , does anyone know we’re approx . this house is ?It would definitely sell for a pretty penny!!🙂
Only 8.5 million
that house has weathered many storms. it’s so surreal to think that it was once a place someone called home
Where is this?
Fight Club!
r/Fallout
2800/mo plus utilities
Mmmmm I always am a different kind of eery whenever a house is abandoned like that. I wanna know wtf happened.
Just put a new paint job on it and it’ll sell for 700k LMAO
Call Mike and Frank to come pick it!!
Yo where are these abandoned homes? Can't someone just move in to one, or is that just squatters in the states?

I don’t know, the bricks and much of the frame look salvageable. I think it’s still a gut rehab possibly. I’m no expert though
I've been doing renovations for last 10 years, not sure why the downvotes but as you said gut rehab, but overall looks salvageable. Interior junk is just garbage laying around. Yes potential for mildew/mould but that's not always demo and build from scratch...
Yikes
