For the longest time I couldn't find the actual address of this property. That was until I was looking around on PLANit and noticed it was on there (2057 Major Mackenzie Drive). It looks like this property is eventually going to be redeveloped with townhouses put on it. It also looks like the building will be retained as it's a heritage building, although I'm not sure how that'll work now that it's been partially destroyed from a fire. I also found these two old photos of the house when I put the address into Google: https://thumbnails.zoocasa.com/9904510-2057-major-mackenzie-dr-vaughan-on-N126258/photo-1.jpg https://cdn1.zoocasa.com/images/listings/6fb2cf3a-9288-43e4-9a20-ba44424d7fda.jpg So from what it seems, the second story wasn't actually a part of the house originally, but was added later on. I looked at satellite imagery, and I think it was added on around 2012, which is quite recent in the grand scheme of things. There isn't a second floor anymore, so it really didn't last long.

Demolished as of 2023. Right when I was thinking of going there myself.

thanks for the correct coordinates! i did mention in the description that they are not 100% accurate but it was probably tucked too deep within all the text

Really cool spot but it was not where the coordinates on this post are. We spent a while exploring the area and were about to give up when we finally found it! The spot is closer to these coordinates (Latitude: 43.870213 / N 34° 52' 12.767" Longitude: -79.680427 / W 79° 40' 49.535") It's along the tree line of an open field, right off of the trail. Happy Exploring!

It's completely overgrown by the surrounding foliage now. I've seen some construction vehicles nearby but no real work done yet.

This place is very cool to check out, I also saw the preserved buildings that Black Creek Pioneer Village has which I find quite interesting. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you're ever in the area!

There's still an old building on this lot that remains standing but is now used for income tax returns. The other ones have been demolished and replaced by a Shell gas station and a Starbucks. Gotta love suburban redevelopment.
This was one of 6 houses in a row on Centre Street that were abandoned and ended up getting demolished around the summer of 2022. I actually planned to explore the houses last summer, but they ended up getting demolished around the same week I planned to explore them. So R.I.P to that. The land is going to be redeveloped with a mid-rise, so I'll try and get some photos of the demolition site before that happens.

i'm not sure tbh, if i were to take a guess, maybe some kind of old agricultural building?

Plans called for preservation of a small arched section of the building as a small memento on site.
Nice to see someone got this. There was once a long driveway from PV leading down to the river, crossing it, and going to this house.
Looks like a past owner of the property may have bought the van, might have taken the body off, dumped it in the woods and used the truck chassis for something else.

Any ideas abt what this building might've been in the past? Ruins south of this site were some reptile zoo but I never knew even more places up the trails.

I want to get into the garage, and I am for sure not going in the basement without a mask, flashlight and a couple of buddies heh. I'll try and upload some pictures off my phone if I do!

Also it's kind of interesting how somebody is still mowing the grass on the property. You can even see a lawn mower behind the house in one of the photos.
