Suburban Cabin

Approaching the two-story house, half hidden by overgrown grass and spiked weeds, there is something almost enchanting about the stonework and tall trees, giving the impression of an old cabin deep in the woods, despite the suburban world surrounding the property. There are two smaller structures to the left of the home, although it seems like the larger one is full of wood and cannot be entered. The smaller one is full of trash and glass.

Inside the house, light creeps in only through holes punched through the wall, as all the ground floor windows have been boarded. There is a large piece of graffiti in the main room of the house. This room also leads to the basement, which seems explorable although the air quality is horrendous. There is an odd abundance of fireplaces, but the ground floor is otherwise relatively empty. The second floor is accessible by a narrow stairway. It is unfinished and well lit by a number of windows, broken and unbroken, still sporting yellow product labels. Around the back of the house is a patio overlooking the backyard. From here you can enter another small room, inaccessible from the front of the house, as the interior door has been boarded up. Among the beer cans and trash I was surprised to find it contained a functioning upright piano, albeit significantly damaged.

It seems like development may possibly start soon, as within the last few visits to the property I found that the overgrowth on the paths to the front and back of the house had been mowed down.

From JamesDDD145: The house is next to a sub-division and is on a well-travelled arterial road. As long as you stay discrete, however, you should be fine. There is no security or anything of the sort. The interior of the house, however, does have many sharp objects in it. There is also the possibility that the house contains asbestos, so a respirator may be advised if you intend to actually enter the house.

This house has stood where it is for many years, and was inhabited as recently as 2015. Some time after its residents moved out and it has lay abandoned ever since. In Spring of 2022, the house was lit on fire by arsonists or vandals. The fire was quickly put out, but this has left the house partially burnt and blackened and with a collapsed roof. The house originally had a second floor, but after it was caught on fire the second floor collapsed. In mid to late 2022, weak fencing was put up around the house to deter visitors, but this fencing has now been bust open by people wanting to get a closer look. The exterior garage building was also boarded up.

This location consists of a short pocket of woodland with a house, shed, and separated garage. The driveway to the house is just off of Major MacKenzie.

\n The garage to the building has no fencing around it but in late 2022 was boarded up with wood, now leaving it inaccessible. Prior to this, the doors were fully open and the inside of the garage had lots of storage shelves and debris. There were also spray cans in it left over from previous vandals. The garage is covered in graffiti from local teenagers that often visit the location. In front of the house there is also a shed which is in very rough condition. The shed is emptied out and has holes in the walls.

\n The house itself was originally two stories, but the second story collapsed after it caught on fire. It is unknown if the house has a basement, and it is filled with debris that make parts of it practically inaccessible. The damaged parts of the house are blackened from fire damage. The left side of the house is still relatively intact with little damage to it. There is a working piano inside one of the rooms of the house, and possibly still some furniture.
