Abandoned house in Victoria

Hello UER!
I live in Victoria and am just getting into UE. A couple friends and I have explored the hall of wonders, the tunnel under Ross Bay, and this boarded up, trashed house. Here's a link to some pictures, enjoy!

I was in there just a couple days ago! Seemed like a solid house. Odd that the bathtub was in the kitchen. Won't be long before this old house and all the trees around it are gone, replaced by more ugly condos just like the "village" behind it.

I don't suppose anyone knows anything about this house in particular? Why it's empty now? Do you think the lot is owned by the gross plaza next door?

If you're not dirty, you're not doing it right.

Hmm. I was just eyeing that place the other week but hadn't had time to visit.

Its been like that for a long time. I was probably bought out by a developer who hasn't started working on it.

Exactly. Best I've seen in a long time. The wallpaper adds a nice touch.

Another important question... What causes toilets to explode like that?

Also, does anyone know if 2415 Quadra Street is still active? (It's one of the very few places I'm allowed to see in the DB ). Next on our list is the Douglas Darkie (Which my friend used to explore as a kid; he called it the GALUMPH tunnel because of the monster inside that makes a GALUMPH noise.) and a big abandoned-seeming apartment building near George Jay Elementary. I haven't scoped that one out yet though, so I can't attest to its accessibility or interestingness.

Also trying to assemble clues on where to find the Burrow of the Beast, not being a full member and all. Don't give me any hints though, it's more fun this way!

Also also, has anyone heard of this new book coming out in the fall about underground Victoria? I work in a bookstore in town and someone mentioned it to me.

My understanding is that the Quadra thing is now a redeveloped, mid-end expensive, fourplex. With brand-new siding and modern appliances.

Looks like this place is boarded all the way up now. Incidentally, is there anyone I can PM about another abandoned building I have my eye on?
