Mid Century-ish Time Capsule House/1966 Sears Christmas Catalogue

This abandoned time capsule house is the sort of house you wouldn’t expect much from however once inside you are totally amazed at what you find. This is such an amazing time capsule! Everything was for the most part as the couple had left it before they passed away.

This home was discovered in 2018 by RiddimRyder while he was exploring in Southern Ontario. We had both driven by it in the past but gave it no consideration, we should have!

The house did have some mystery to it. Most things found in the house had a date of 1996 however there were a few items such as bank records & a lottery ticket from 2002.

The couple, Gordon & Irene married & settled in Eramosa Township where they had a son. Gordon was a cattle farmer & his son carries on the tradition today. Gordon passed away at 84 in 1992 & Irene at 85 in 1996. Their son lives in a different house on the sprawling acreage & it seems he used the house perhaps to live in for a brief period of time.

Jaw hits the floor. Freak, you have the best sets. I love the flashlight in number 38 and the oven in the kitchen is so retro.

Wow!!!

What a place !!!
Kind of place I would lose myself in for hours upon hours.
You were not kidding when you said it was a Time Capsule. Some of the things in that catalogue are hilarious. Thanks so much for sharing this gem

Oh btw...the light up pug sweater = two thumbs up

Beautiful spot! It's amazing how immaculately clean houses can be sometimes. Did you stage any shots or did you find it like that?

That Bathroom shot! That looks so much like my late Mothers bathroom in a house i lived in the late Sixties and 70's. its unreal. The only difference was hers had yellow tiling. She even had a hanging flower arrangement like this one in exactly the same place! hahaha! Blows me away! Oh the memories! Such a big, open, comfortable home. Makes perfect sense it was a Ranch house. The furniture reminds me of Texas more than i can relate. Guess the Son never wanted to have an Estate Sale. People would LOVE this and clean it out in no time. Really admire that large refrigerator/freezer. Cool color. Your photos are TRULY Awesome and i looked through them several times. ThankYou!

Amazing! Your photos fit my category "nah, no way, that's not a bando, it's just messy!" - the highest prize, usually found anywhere but the USA. Incredible. I'd live there. Thank you for sharing.
