Abandoned World

Niagara Falls Abandoned Schoolhouse

Earlier this summer while we were on our way to revisit “The Screaming Tunnel” we came across this old abandoned schoolhouse just down the road from it. It looks like at some point it has been converted to a residence as many old schoolhouses have been. It now once again sits abandoned waiting for its next chapter. 

What once was a beautiful old homestead is now nothing but a haunting landmark seen by many as they head up to their cottage in the Bruce Peninsula. Only a shell remains of this old abandoned house located in Bruce County Ontario not to far from Chesley. Its only a matter of time before the brick work comes crumbling down and the land is cleared to grow crops. Until them we can admire its…

Abandoned House on Talbot Trail

Here is just on of the many abandoned houses located along the Talbot Trail (Highway 3) in Ontario. One could spend several days driving, photography and documenting all the beautiful old abandoned homes that dot this scenic highway. For myself it seems every time I travel along Talbot Trail I discover a new abandoned house that I have missed. Fall is a good time to go abandoned house hunting,…

Abandoned House in Perth County Ontario

Here is an old abandoned brick house in Perth County Ontario located not to far from Mitchell along highway 23. Although this abandoned house is quite beautiful it does have a creepy vibe to it, a feeling of unease over came me while photographing it. I am not sure what circumstances led to its abandonment but most likely an old family farm bought by a larger operation for the land only and the…

Abandoned Bridge in Lambton County

Here is a beautiful old abandoned iron bridge in Lambton County Ontario along River Road just a short drive from Grand Bend. I have this bridge listed in Lambton County but could also be considered located in Middlesex County as it crossed the Ausable River (The Cut) which is the boundary between Middlesex County and Lambton County. There is not much information available online about this bridge…

Old Abandoned Ontario Schoolhouse

I must start this post off apologising for the lack of updates the past 6 weeks. I was in an auto accident and a broken right arm made photography and computer work difficult. Things should be getting back to normal over the next few weeks :) Here are some photos of an old abandoned schoolhouse in Kent County Ontario taken on a beautiful sunny afternoon. This old schoolhouse was located just…

Old and Decaying Abandoned House in Ontario

Here is an old decaying house located in Elgin County Ontario. The yard is lush and still kept up but unfortunately I can’t  say the same for this old house. This old abandoned house has a mysterious beauty to it and you can almost imagine what it looked like in its prime with all the garden landscaping around it. Ontario is a treasure trove of interesting and creepy old abandoned places to keep…

Abandoned Post Office / Customs House in Niagara Falls Ontario

This old beautiful abandoned building in Niagara falls was originally called the Dominion Public Building and was owned by the Government of Canada. Over the years it has also been known as “The Palace” and “The Stone Jug” but mainly today it is known as the old post office or the old police station. Built in 1885 for a cost of $30,000 it served originally as a post office (1885 – 1930) and…

Map Of The Original Welland Canals

The Welland Canal that is in use today is actually the 4th canal to be used. The first Welland canal was in use from 1829 to 1845. The second Welland Canal was in use from 1845 to 1915 and the 3rd Welland canal was in use from 1881 to 1932. The early canals made use of natural rivers and water ways as well as had dug channels and many of the old abandoned locks and routes can still be viewed…

Here is a old decrepit abandoned house I came across this week while out doing some exploring and photography. This house is located near West Lorne Ontario and looks like it has been abandoned for at least a decade judging by its state of decay. This area proved to be a treasure trove of abandoned splendour and I will be uploading the new finds over the coming weeks. You can find the location of…
