Bowmanville: new house gallery

At the north side of the Bowmanville Creek valley on Highway 57 sits this particular house, soon to be demolished to make way for more $350,000 homes...

Enjoy!

Wow, that's awesome!

I'd LOVE to see a place like that,it looks like it was once a beautiful house. And to think it's only been empty a month or so!

Yet again, excellent pictures!

Glad to see somebody get in there I planned to go when I got the time, but it never happened.

Fedge, excellent find. I love the detail on the stairs and front door. I'm sure this place was gorgeous in its hey day. It's the kind of house that needs a lot of work, but in the end would have been worth it!

Is anyone else curious about what VHS is in the fireplace? If the wrecking crew is coming its a shame that no one is salvaging any of the beautiful woodwork and stained glass. If I knew they would be lost the vinyl would come home with me. Personal ethics aside, does anyone know what the legalities of salvaging are?

Personally, the day before the demo happens, I'm raiding the pile of vinyl albums.

That looks neat, I hope I can check it out sometime soon.

I like the staircase haha.

Doesn't it sicken anyone else to see history destroyed for greed... and ugly generic cookie cutter houses? Humans are like a virus... they spread everywhere and can't leave shit alone for two seconds.

So true. It's a combo between humans building stuff and letting neglect ruin them to the point of them sinking beyond the point of saving (ie: WPH). Then, once they are so dilapidated, the only option is to demolish, taking with it all the historical evidence with it. Once its gone, the only thing to prove it ever was there is memories and, thankfully now, photo archives like UER.

Oy, I used that black "Principles and Process" math book in Grade 10

Anyways, looks like it's painted glass, not stained glass...hopefully that makes you feel less violated by the wrecking ball, nice staircase though

Where are you located, Phantom403? If this place is getting demoed, consider the 8-tracks yours...

I checked the VHS tape and it's simply an instruction tape on how to operate the wood burner stove the cassette was found in. No homemade porn or anything, much to my dismay.

Well as long as your salvaging, could you grab me the mop, the fuzzy blue toilet seat cover and oh yea...gotta have the red michael jackson coat!

Seriously ... Cool shots, especially as someone else noted that it's so recent, it truly shows what people sometimes just walk away from. I would love to know what all the vinyl is, cant believe they'd just leave them!

There were a bunch of 40s-60s old vinyl album box sets, mainly of classical music. But there was also Pat Benatar (featuring her 80s song Hit Me With Your Best Shot) among a lot of crap albums. The further down in the stack of records, the better the condition as they've been sheltered from the elements...
