Active Site--Oops (Picture-tastic) - Thread - Urban Exploration Resource

So I watched this site for a while, as it was on my way to my college. I assumed the place was empty because there were never any lights in it, and the truck parked in the driveway never moved.

It was a solid assumption, as even if the truck had moved, it likely belonged to the farmer who worked the field next to the site, and not the owner of the site.

I was wrong. A week after my exploration I noticed--for the first time--lights turn on in the main house. (That building I didn't picture.)

Because there were so many buildings, this thread will be full of pictures. I try not to take a whole lot of pictures; it normally doesn't take much to get an idea of the site. But this place was probably the biggest place I ever explored.

This was one of the reasons why I figured the place was abandoned: the porch of the main house was strewn with debris.

There were several sheds in varying conditions. I love this last one, the buckling one.

Ivy was taking over the place. I live where there is ivy next door, and I have to cut it back every year to make it go away. That stuff is persistent!

I wonder if that's just rust?

The main barn was three stories, though I didn't go up to the third. That truck may not have moved since 1990: it had a parks and recreation sticker on it from 1989.

Ivy really likes the silo.

Bonus shot! Active barn on the same road.

(Another angle would have shown metal, padlocked doors, and since this exploration the owner has nailed the road-facing doors shut.)
