The entrance to this property is gated, so I parked down the road and walked in. I had no idea of what to expect when I reached the end of the driveway. I was concerned that there could be a vehicle parked by the house, and if so, I hoped to turn around without being seen. I observed a trampoline set up beside the house that led to some uncertainty as to whether this place was in use or not. The grass looked like someone had cut it pearlier in the year but not recently. Approaching the house, I tried two doors without success. On the third try, one opened. The back area led to a kitchen that w ..read more

I passed by this house on my way home from a day of exploring. The exterior of the house appealed to me, and so I turned around for photos. It was largely disappointing to see the windows and doors boarded up but the exterior architecture indicated that it might be worth a closer look. I was able to step through a smashed window, and observe what looked like an office area. The interior was a let down compared to the exterior. Until… I found the staircase and the stain glass.Kids have opened cans of paint and strewn it about the floor where its tacky and plentiful. You don’t want to step int ..read more

This property is located along a back road. The house is very much a time capsule house, in that everything is left as it would have been when someone was living there. There’s some water damage to the roof and some items have been tossed about but the damage is minimal. The power still works, which is always puzzling as someone presumably pays the bill. The kitchen still has canned goods and the fridge, although emitting a horrendous foul odor has what looks like fresh meat inside. The living room has items tossed about but the cabinets are where the real gems are – old nick knacks and dolls ..read more

This is a 4 bedroom 1850s century farmhouse located on Wonderland Road in the city of London. A Toronto company wants to demolish the property to make way for an 18-unit townhouse. The property was recommended for heritage designation which was approved. The townhouses will be built surrounding the farm house. This is a win for heritage preservation.   The post London, Ontario Poopy Stairs House appeared first on Talking Walls Photography ..read more

This location is tucked away among a southern Ontario urban community. It lies behind a set of metal gates and down a long curved driveway. The original purpose remains uncertain. It has the appearance of a luxurious home with it’s large outdoor pool and spacious rooms. At the same time, you notice things such as the the three kitchen stoves, two dishwashers, and industrial electrical transformers in the basement and begin to question if this was a business location. The owner of this property was an Israeli man who passed away on February 4, 2018. He and his wife, owned real estate across On ..read more

This property sits near a gated community, hidden away from urban Ontario. I found it’s appearance to be somewhat confusing. It doesn’t look like a home, given the unusual layout of the inside and the industrial doors outside. Is it possible that this was used for something like an art gallery? The most fascinating part of the property is at the very back of it, tucked away past the garage. It’s a complete living area that’s 100% untouched. There’s a huge mold infestation which makes it unlivable. Is this what led to the family fleeing and not taking their possessions? The kitchen appliances ..read more

This house was simply wonderful to explore. The first thing you notice when you approach the house, is the smell. It stinks of rotting garbage outside. Inside the house, the air is easier to breathe. There’s an accumulation of black mold however, starting to grow in the rear kitchen area. The kitchen is filled with canned food and utensils. The bedrooms are completely made up. In the master bedroom you’ll find hundreds of photos, many of them of flowers that used to be in the garden. An old Singer sewing machine was discovered in one of the upper rooms. It disappeared not long after our visi ..read more

This property has not one, not two but three kitchens in it. It’s possible that this was a home designed for multiple tenants or family. Some of the features are two spiral staircases, skylights and four garages (two at each end of the house). The basement is flooded and not accessible. Several areas of the main floor ceiling have collapsed, suggesting long term water leakage. The property value is $2.1 million and the house was built in 1986. For now, the property remains empty and awaiting possible demolition. The post Three Kitchen Mansion appeared first on Talking Walls P ..read more
