Damn this was apart of a whole row of 11 abandoned buildings, sad to see each one has been demolished lately. Some of them were really old, too.
Definitely going to go check this out asap
Woah this is super interesting, that car looks pretty ancient and I wonder what it's doing just out in the woods like that. I'd bet it belonged to residents of that nearby house from way back in the day.
Update #2, this website has the exact blueprints for what the redevelopment is planned to look like: https://f.tlcollect.com/fr2/318/46655/sold_web_2057_Major_Mackenzie_Dr._W.pdf The blueprints show the suburban cabin right there in the middle, so I think it's safe to say it's not going to be getting demolished. Though people might end up inhabiting it once again eventually. Also, even though it's going to be restored, the second floor does not appear to be returning. So R.I.P to that. Interestingly, blueprints call it the "Joshua Oliver House" which is the first I've heard of that. So I did some even more digging using the new name, and according to a commenter on a historical blog, this house was made in 1837, putting it at 186 years old. One more reason why I hate to see people vandalize sites.
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.

If you want I can message you.
If you'd like, I know a multitude of abandoned houses that are literally right next to this one.
