A beautiful farmhouse that has been abandoned for some time now and at some point will be bulldozed for commercial property as the new walmart is a stones through from it. Sadly it has been terribly vandalized but still gives a beautiful presence of what was and is.
Added from normyy2001: hi there just had to add this farm location this is where my mother was born 1938 and lived until around 1950 the house and barn where built for my grandfather (auther eager huntley 1888 to 1955) and grandmother florence huntley nee king 1898 to 1980) by my great grandfather. where they raised 7 children i beleive this was built in the early 1910 s to 1920 s the bricks where as the story was told to me brought by horse driven slays over lake simcoe in the winter. Sometime after my grandfathers passing well living in newmarket the house and property 100 acres were sold out of the family. i had allways promissed my mother i would one day see the home she was born and raised in and on march 29 2009 me and my brother and his late gf upon relizing it was abandoned spent some time there exploring with lots of pictures to bring home and now i wish to share this peace of family history with you all as of todays date (march 2011) the house and barn are still standing and currently more visible from road as the widening of woodbine avenue has taken close to front entrace but may be gone soon if anyone has any other history beyond my familys please add or send info to me to add thanks and enjoy the pictues scott

House has POE but way too dark since still boarded. Not sure what the damn exercise machine is doing there....
In rough shape but still standing as of 07/09/12. Lot's to explore but watch for the swarm of bees that have taken up residence in the round window on the upper floor of the house...
Where is this location? The map shows it being in Kazhikstan??? I would like to go check it out before its gone.
I drive by this place everyday and have always wanted to go in. Anyone know how to get in and what dangers might be inside.
I've been in that place, was in a lot better condition, unfortunately didn't have my camera @ the time. Still amazes me that they could let the place go!
