Abandoned House

[ironmountain]

These next few are from the same site. The house used to be "cut in half" with items still on the table and counters. A company has been logging down the 2 track from this place and ended up whacking it down. These are of the house and the shack behind the house. There is a privy but it's too dense in there right now to walk through waist high foliage. The privy will be there this fall and I have access to it. Used to be 2 old Model T or A's there, but someone towed them out. There are two engines stuck in the ground I can have if I can find a way to haul them out..

House right on the edge of the 2 track. The bank is 2-3' high and the house sits right on the edge of it. Totally smashed up now. Father in law drove me around to some dirt 2track's I'd never been on before. Turns out he knows the people who own the abandoned houses he drove me to. He suggested that it would be a great place for me to dig and detect (normally he acts like I'm crazy to dig up "old" stuff and MD it...til he sees what I find MD'ing..then he's all about suggesting). So next time I'm up there I'm going to hit a couple places up and at least explore the inside of the houses. See what's in them.

TRY EXPLORING ABANDONED PSYCH CENTERS IF YOU CAN. I'VE DONE ABOUT 8 DIFFERENT PLACES WITH MANY, MANY BUILDINGS AND TUNNELS. FOUND A FEW GEMS ALONG THE WAY.

ONE OF MY FAVE BUILDINGS (#93) AT KINGS PARK PSYCH CENTER ON LONG ISLAND.

ALSO KNOWN AS "THE DEVILS THRONE."

heres an entire neighborhood, I think most of the houses are 1920's but the area(land) has a lot of history to the late 1700's, fenced off and no trespassing, but I just have to check it out right?

we should do it soon before they start bulldozing the area, dont know if we should go on a recon mission first or just go in.

Cool stuff guys!

There is a glimmer of hope for the house in Windsor. I went over to windsor today, and all of the brush and trees had been cleared from the yard, so maybe somebody is going to restore it?

Everything is gone, except for the maple tree in the very front, which you can sort-of see from the picture. The house looks the same. I'll try to stop at Windsor tomorrow to get a picture.
