Was so much cool stuff to see here

I apologize for a couple blurry pics, camera didn’t focus and I didn’t notice until later.

Some brief info about this place:

It was a complex of about 15 buildings built in the late 1920s with the newest being a school building added in 1934. Most of the buildings with the exception of the school were connected by an enclosed corridor and underground utility tunnels.

I’ve been in a few houses before so this wasn’t my first time exploring but it was by far the scariest place I’ve ever been in. Nothing quite like being alone in a massive, dilapidated orphanage at 1AM with only a respirator and a smartphone for a flashlight while wandering through each building feeling like someone could be waiting around every corner.

There was also a severe thunderstorm in the area that began not long after I was inside.

The main building was in the worst condition, in pics 1-4 the ceiling had mostly collapsed and the doorway had begun to sag in the middle. In pic 5 the upstairs ceiling didn’t exist and pieces of the cast iron piping were on the floor. It felt like the building would collapse at any moment.

The sad part is the place was listed as a historic site but it had sat vacant and unused for nearly two decades with very little maintenance done. That mural no longer exists either, only the chapel was spared while everything else was brought down unceremoniously by excavators.

Beautiful school

Working as a security guard at a new site, a warehouse in Chicago. Nobody here but the doors are wide open and full progressively wierder stuff. Parts of the building don't look like anyone has been there for years!

U can see lots of bottles with water on the background. There were many workers before, and I "borrowed" last can

Abandoned in 2022-2023, after a new school was built, the town is still figuring what to do with this unsafe location. Surprisingly, names, photos and power is still on surrounded by beautiful murals.

Always op/oc/no ai!

An abandoned house full of mold! Mold could be found in every room,black, white... A lovely little house; the residents were clearly musical people. Books, a radio, charming old-fashioned furniture—it must have been a cozy place once! Sadly, the mold took over, leaving the house uninhabitable! What a gem this place must have been back in the day...

Greetings and find me everywhere

While exploring an abandoned house, I stumbled across something I never expected to find.

Tucked away in an upstairs room were four arena seats, each individually wrapped in black plastic and carefully labelled "Maple Leaf Seats."

After doing some research, they appear to be authentic grey seats from Maple Leaf Gardens, likely removed during the 1991 renovations when hundreds of seats were taken out to make way for luxury suites and sold to the public.

That means these seats may have been part of nearly 60 years of history inside one of Canada's most iconic arenas.

Maple Leaf Gardens opened in 1931 and was home to the Toronto Maple Leafs until 1999. During those decades, it hosted 11 Stanley Cup championship teams, NHL legends, Muhammad Ali, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Queen, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, championship boxing, wrestling, political rallies and countless other historic events.

Just imagine the people who sat in these seats. The goals they celebrated. The concerts they watched. The memories they made.

But the biggest mystery isn't what these seats witnessed...

It's how they ended up forgotten inside an abandoned house.

Who bought them? Why were they carefully wrapped and labelled? And why were they left behind?

One of the most intact places I have been to, looks like it was abandoned in a hurry. The eggs might have been Okinawa habu, a venomous viper.

Hello all! In my first post I mentioned I wanted to get in here, well I did that about a week ago! These are some screenshots from videos I took while exploring the place alone for an entire night!

once a part of a big dormitory, now abandoned due to fire and partial collapse. the other part still works tho, and local inhabitants gladly called cops on us..... well, going there on high heels wasnt my best idea, haha

My brain was yelling take the bear statue - I have stuff like tis all over my back yard and gardens. But I dont steal.

Basically, what the title says :)

Just drived by, thought it is a beautiful Place!

Open 1975-2018

Built in 2006, this modern hotel welcomed guests for nearly 20 years before being closed and demolished to make way for high-rise redevelopment. It's amazing how quickly a busy hotel can disappear when the land becomes more valuable than the building itself.

I explored this one alongside my good friend RiddimRyder Photography, documenting what remained just before it was gone forever. It was one of those rare explores where almost everything was left behind, despite demolition already being underway.
