Consider yourself warned: abandoned old house thread.

We had some plans for a little UE east of North Bay, but the plans fell through when we were already out there so we just decided to take a slow, meandering trip back home and hope something would catch our eye. We almost missed this one because it's sort of on a raised up area of treed land right beside the highway. Being the passenger, I was keeping a pretty close eye on the passing scenery in hopes of finding something interesting, and as we zoomed past I saw it and thought it was abandoned but not quite sure, so we turned around to check it out. As we got to the top of the driveway I started getting excited. The house looked typically dumpy, but when I got inside I really, really liked it. I have a thing for built-ins, and nice panelling and details and this house was full of details. Unfortunately, most of the houses I come across are just plain and boring.

What I liked most about the house was the lot that it sits on....I totally loved it for some reason. If I had the finances for it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's surrounded by some of the biggest evergreen trees I have ever seen. There is actually a pathway lined by more big evergreens that leads to another clearing and a collapsed building. I can't explain why I'm so drawn to it, but I really want that lot. lol

I'll post a few pics, but most of them are on flickr: http://www.flickr....72157621477354686/

A nice find. We'll have to see what can be done about the old Mattawa hospital for the next trip.

Wow nice find, nice pics! I can tell you why you love this house, the same reason I do: Character. No matter how hard they try, a brand new cookie-cutter house will NEVER have the character and charm of an older home.

Party Pooper...you are so right. The house, and even the lot, oozed character. I don't know where to start looking into the history, but I sure would love to know it. I finally made a DB entry for it: http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=28686
