There are so many abandoned places in Tay Township! This is a list of the top three abandoned places in Tay Township. Browse through all abandoned places in Tay Township

1. Port McNicoll Elevators

These are the Grain elevators located in Port McNicoll.
The history is unknown to me, though i have found a connected CN bridge in Victoria Harbour dating 1935.

Recommended to bring multiple flashlights, and a stick for possible animal inhabitants. I do not know of anyone getting up to top floor, but it is recommended to not attempt to climb, as the ladder anchors are letting go.

Best entrance is located mid way down the East side (staircase covered by a tree)

2. St. Mary's Catholic School

I actually attended this school in the 80's. Kids from the Victoria Harbour Public School was make fun of us and say it used to be the nail factory. This school consisted of one hallway, a library that doubled as a (carpeted) gym on rainy days, 5 classrooms (with split grades from JK/SK - grade 7/8), a teacher's lounge, supply room, and principal's office. There is a basement, which seems accessible. I plan to return later this year.

Hopefully, I'll have more information to provide. Currently, my only retirevable knowledge is that it was (and maybe currently) owned by the Grey Sisters, and their convent is atteched to the school. If I can, I'll talk to one of the local sisters.

3. Golden Oldies - Four 50s Cars

I hope this location is acceptable. If not, I'll understand if it gets deleted. I found this location while geocaching with my family.

There are four abandoned cars from the 1950s sitting in the bush, rusting away. I believe one of them is a Chevy Bel Air. From an artistic point of view, there are some interesting photographic opportunities here.

Access can be gained from the snowmobile trail either from Newton Street or Gervais Road. Bring rubber boots, as the trail is a bit muddy in places.
