Demolished House in Pelham, Ontario, Canada

Recent status Demolished
Location # 5890

UPDATE 2022: After many fine years of abandonment, this property has been completely razed. There is nothing left here now and the listing is being changed to public access for historic/archival purposes.


Old farmhouse in imminent danger of perimeter collapse. The ground floor of the house has already fallen through to the basement and hoarded garbage is everywhere. You really have to possess a love of decay and disgust to enjoy this place. Two exterior ruins, a few rusting tractor hulks, and a gorgeous raised foundation across the road complete the site.

Far more details provided in the gallery.

BEWARE the last photo #22 in my gallery is a little on the gross side. I concur, I didn't want to take more then one step in there without someone else being there.

I don't blame you; I think water-infiltrated wood frozen in mid-winter is the only thing that kept this house up while I visited. Climbing up there in above-zero temperatures would be a deathtrap.

Went here on Mothers Day on my way home from visiting mama, what a complete mess! Being alone, there was no way I was going all the way inside.

This has got to be one of the most facinating finds...I'd love to go here. Oh the stories those walls have if only they could speak. Beautifully shot by all visitors thusfar

Fear in this place is healthy. It's hard to tell if the trash makes the floors more stable in places or less so. You can't tell what is going to happen beneath you. Truly a strange place. Someone had issues. Thanks for the find, GS!

I didn't enter because I feared falling through given that I'm not exactly a featherweight. I may have to go back to see the upstairs myself.

@ haweater...this place IS totally surreal inside. The mounds of trash are phenomenal. It buries furniture and crushes floors. I had to duck in some of the rooms from the crap. Loved it.

Seems it was well visited on the 1st. Wonder how far apart, unoccupied?

From exploration experience, I've found that viewing photos on a screen is nothing like seeing it yourself. Being here must have been absolutely surreal.

Funny you say that, I saw the foundation on GE a few years ago and put a geocache in it. I was driving home on the weekend from a day of exploring and finding nothing good, so I stopped here to see if the geocache was still there. There was the house 50 m away. The forest was so thick when I was here years ago I looked right in the direction of the house and didn't even know it was there.
