I found a few abandoned houses late on in my trip, all clustered around a small area of upstate New York. One was an absolute wreck, little more than a bombed out shell of a building. The second one looked decent from the aerial view but sadly on entering it was apparent the house was half an abandoned renovation project and the living room floor had collapsed into the basement cutting off access to half the building.

The third one however, as they say, was the charm. It's up there in my favourite personal finds, a large house nestled on the edge of a state forest left abandoned since the mid 1990s with all the possessions still inside, and a rusting 1950s Ford school bus sat outside. The house was deceptively large with a strange layout filled with vintage stuff, loads of things to look through and marvel at. The owner was obviously heavily into music with both an upright piano and small piano organ inside as well as smaller musical instruments and hundreds of vinyl records. A real treasure trove of a house for sure and an awesome way for me to end my exploring over there - nothing like the feeling of finishing on a high with a cool find.

Thanks for sharing!!

Man that's nice! I could sure have fun there!

I wish to discover an abandoned bus, either intentionally scrapped or otherwise, at a location I visit. Great pics!

Excellent set! I particularly liked the piano shots.

Super nice photos!

Were you able to learn more on the third house's history?
Seems to me like the owner passed away and no one knew what to do with the house nor their belongings.

Loving the time capsule vibe. Did either of the organs still work?

Beautiful oven.
Some great finds there. Good job.
