I'm been exploring abandoned places for 25 years now. It all started with a road map, 35 mm camera and plenty of wrong turns. I focus primarily on photography but try to create video content for those curious about my travels.

Helmuth's Model Train House - Northern Ontario
This was the home of Helmuth Hans P. Helmuth was born in 1923. He married and had two children, Michael and Ingrid. Helmuth worked in metals and alloys, and I believe he owned his own business.
There is no information available on the mother, I know that she passed away in 2017.
The parents separated sometime around 1973. A handwritten note from the son, dated 1973, indicated that he had moved away and was living with his mother. Helmuth remarried a woman named Edwina. Based on the 35 mm slides, I believe Edwina is the woman of colour in the photos.
The son, Michael, attended Bible College in the early 1980s and was married in 1984. As for his sister, Ingrid, there is no information to be found, and she’s not listed as a friend on her brother’s social media page.
Helmuth passed away in 1980 at the age of 57. This explained why I encountered such great difficulty trying to find information about him on the internet.
The house was built in 1956, and ownership was transferred to Helmuth in 1979 for $1. This is likely an indicator of a transfer within the family. Some of the photos showing the house are dated pre-1979. Helmuth passed away in 1980, but it’s likely the family had already been living in the home for some time.
The house was eventually connected to the garage.
Considering this house has likely not been lived in since 1980, it’s impressive to see clothes and jackets hanging in the closet and the kitchen cupboards filled with items. This is far from a time capsule house, but you can certainly envision the memories of an earlier era in this house.

What's inside this $2.5 Million Dollar Mansion in Toronto, Said To Have Been Owned By a Mob Boss? 🤡
zhlédnutí 133Před měsícem
This vacant house is located in Toronto, Ontario. It was built in 1981 and first owned by a man named Joseph Clements. Joe worked in construction. The house was sold in 1996 and saw three different families move in over the years. Recently sold in 2022 for $2.3 million, I estimate its current market value closer to $2.5 million. Sadly, the future for this property seems destined for demolition,...

Abandoned Swamp Gas House in Southern Ontario - To be demolished

This elegant looking house was a bit of a disappointment. Initially I was only able to see through the windows of the secured house, but I knew if I kept trying that it would one day be open. Such was the case on my last road trip when I stopped in and tried the garage door. One of the signs that there might be a way inside this time, was seeing through the windows that much of the baseboard tr...

I promised you more explores from earlier this year, and here you are. This is a former public school that's been closed for almost two years now. There's working power, all of the classroom materials have been removed. All the doors and windows are locked and the building is alarmed.

I Know It's Not Abandoned - Urban Exploring a Toronto House
zhlédnutí 239Před 4 měsíci
This house is most certainly not 'abandoned'. The house is situated in Toronto and was built in 1994, a year after the land was purchased. The owner sold it around 2000 and the home went through three more sales before the final sale which took place in August 2022 for $3.7 million. The house has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Note: I took this video in 30fps not 60, my mistake.

It’s incredible the shape that the building is in despite being abandoned. I’m shocked at all the things that have been left behind in the principal’s office, artwork in classrooms, desks, chairs that could have gone to other schools. Many things could have been given to charity. There were even some gymnastics mats left in the gymnasium! There was a mess in the former cafeteria behind where the staff worked! I hope that something is done with the old high school building soon! I know that the town has a plan, but it seems that they are taking a long time to move forward with it while the efforts are focused on the waterfront . Thank you for taking the time to document the old school building before it’s gone.
❤❤❤
Where is this?
I think it's quite a feat that you were able to find out this much about the family! These houses where everything is just left, following the death of the owners are particularly sad, to me. Thanks for sharing your finds!
And to this day, nothing has changed. It still stands as an utter eyesore.
❤❤❤
Is it for sale? This has so much potiential.
hello, i live near this area, and now they have boarded up everything, how were you able to get in? and on top of that is the building still low profile? i heard that they are turning it into a residence home but i stil havent looked into it yet, please drop some information for me, itd be much appreciated
The door was open!
It’s all gone now
Modern cooker. Not old at all.
What made you think you could just enter someone's property and snoop about? You are one of those inconsiderates of whom you speak.
I graduated in 1972 people need homes turn it into small apartments...don't knoock it down...what a waiste! 😊😢😢
What a stupid fate for a gorgeous, century+ house. I comfort myself when these types of homes disappear, that some salvage operation goes in and removes the fancy windows and other architectural details.
Where is this???
I would buy this house and move it, beautiful!
Dude your voice reminds me of the actor john malkovich. Good video
Wow, thanks
Let's get to the point, was that old school piece a pencil sharpener?
It was.
What a beautiful, gothic-style farm house! Sad that likely whoever buys it, won't see that beauty and make the effort to preserve and restore it. A rotten McMansion will take its place. The baby robin likely benefited from your attempting to rescue it, as you frightened it into making a wobbling flight out on its own. I wish people would cover their window wells as there are toads, frogs and other creatures that can't get out on their own. Thanks for this, TWP!
Watching ❤
I'm surprised the alarms didn't go off lmfaooo
How and we’re did you find this place? I’m just wondering
Through friends
@@TalkingWallsPhotography thank you 👍🏻
dang
What’s the location
A building synonymous with the London Ontario skyline of the 70s and 80s. As seen from the VIA Rail and previous CN Rail passenger trains from the late 60s to the early 90s which regularly passed by the London Free Press building as it was. I always believed this location would become the site of what was later Budweiser Gardens.
How did you get in pls tell
There was a break in the fence.
You missed the pool area.
Where is this school? Looks like my elementary school from 25 years ago
What school did you attend?
Amazing atmosphere and lightning in the different rooms...white enamel in institutions like this have a strong vibe.
The hospital I was born at life was good for awhile. But pretty much fucing hate sudbury I don't like it alot of bullshit
imagine. we could repair the whole thing up, hook up hydro and water, and make it into a homeless shelter. north bay and surrounding areas- especially sudbury- has a huge housing crisis. and these buildings are just sitting over in towns nearby, completely unused and abandoned. what a pity. i’m gonna see who owns the deed. i might eventually buy it someday
It's been renovated
Whoever it was that made these changes on this house (or if someone abandoned it); they ruined this house! It looked so awesome the way it looked in the late 1990's, when they filmed Goosebumps: Night of the Living Dummy 3, here! If you just watch that goosebumps episode, it will show you the great quality of the dining room, family room, and bedrooms in there, and what it looked like back then, (in comparison to now)! Such a bummer!

It looks liveable still
It’s private property stay the f off it!
I always wondered what the old FM96 side looked like. Now I have kind of an idea.
Yep, that was one flooded basement. I hope that One Guy enjoyed his own, personal video of it from you!
Great job on the video IMHO. Thank you for documenting this history
Glad you enjoyed it
And it was haunted me tell I was 19 years old and know wen I pass it my bad brought it up and I got attacked in my dream by the entity
When I was 5 years old I all most died at home I was from a small town called Massey and I got rushed in a ambulance to that hospital they saved me but a there they started to do bad things to me and It was so haunted that a girl in the the next room was screaming and freaking out that she seen a ghost and one got attached to me
Can you go in the building
If you can find a way.
You missed so much. The tech hall? The catwalk. More of the offices. What the hell was the schhol board thinking? This school had so much life left in it. The class photos and student art etc. I cant believe it was all just left there!
I was saying the same thing!! So much left behind and so much they didn’t explore!
I took photos that document the building, the video is not meant to be the full explore.
The walls and ceiling had asbestos which is carcinogenic. The board thought it was better to build a new school rather than try to remove the asbestos.
@@journey4904the old school is probably more solid than the new one! Removing asbestos… is significantly less expensive than building a new school!
This feels surreal. Graduated from here back in 2010.
sad to see some of the old history just abandoned on the walls...
Yes, all the class photos with people’s pictures just falling off, so sad!
Go to the old Blytheswood public school on Mersea Road 8.
