My buddy and I had got a chance to check out an abandoned house essentially in the middle of nowhere over the summer. The house looked untouched for a long time with the appliances inside with the exception of someone have been being there before us and taking most of the real good stuff. Anyway most of the house was still filled with antiques and such.

Creepy wallpaper...

Here are a few of the things I found!


Got a bunch of NOS and never used First National cardboard egg cartons in fantastic shape!

I really like the egg cartons, I don't think I've ever seen an early egg carton before. I can't imagine many of those survived. The milk tickets are a great find too, those can be pretty tough to find for local dairies, yours might be the only ones remaining in existence.
That wallpaper is really strange, I don't think it's real wallpaper. It looks like they got a bunch of uncut sheets of advertising cards straight from the printer and used those to paper their walls.

Some body probably owns the House or Property. If you check with the City they could probably find out who & then you could get Permission. or else some might call it Tressepassing, B&E and/or Theft. LEON.

I always am cautious of this. Property wasn't marked so I looked it up and its owned by the the state. Usually our state hasn't had any regulation to digging or searching their properties that aren't explicitly marked not to or have no trespassing signs. This was a house and property taken to highway building in the 70s that never happened and so it has sat vacant ever since.

That is precisely what I think about the wall paper!
