After a long hiatus (partially due to my being out of the country for a month) we finally got a chance for a bit of exploring again! This time we were somewhere near Orangeville, on Highway 10. On a corner across from a very empty, lonely looking Subway was this old brick house with a dilapidated barn and collapsed secondary building (couldn’t get close to it, may have been a house at some point, may have been another barn-type building) nearby.
The “secondary” building
The home was boarded up but many of the boards had been torn down, and there had obviously been squaters or druggies inside; total mess, lots of graffiti.
Graffiti covered walls.
The wood trim, sturdy looking doors and floral wallpaper, however, suggested that this may have once been a very nice home. Most of the furniture appeared to be gone, but I did see some mattresses and tables through on room; not sure if these had belonged to the owner or if someone else brought them in later.
We didn’t go inside as there was shattered glass everywhere and we didn’t want to run into anyone, but I could see through quite a few windows. Out back, we could see into an old shed and there was the remains of a treehouse.
All for now!
