| | | Mike Tyson - Abandoned Mansion < on 6/17/2008 7:14 PM >
| | | Sorry . . not 100% sure where Mike Tyson's abandoned mansion is . . Ohio / NJ ? ? in the USofA. Abandoned since the late 1990's . . . pics from a variety of sources . . . ENJOY! < I assume that some of these may have been taken by the real-estate agent within a few weeks of it becoming empty. I recall seeing someone else who had pics taken much latter which shows the place with a LOT of deterioration. >
Exterior looks like someone is cutting the grass . . . occassionally.
Pool Room . . . dying plants
Algae Blooms ! !
OMG ! . . . WANT !
one word . . . funky.
I think I snorted coke off a nekid disco chick here back in 1985.
w0w ! !

| | | Illicit Ohio has a fantastic write-up about the place: http://illicitohio...ohio.com/tyson.htm He got some great shots while it was still accessible. It's in northeastern Ohio. [last edit 6/17/2008 7:32 PM by ilduce - edited 1 times]

Hi!
| | Re: Mike Tyson - Abandoned Mansion <Reply # 7 on 6/17/2008 8:49 PM >
| | | It's in a town called Southington, Ohio. The strangest thing--there is no reason to live there, I grew up like 10 minutes from the town and it was literally mocked by those who lived in the backwood area near it. Amazing that he chose to live there, but I guess land was cheap and he wasn't bothered by the law.
You betcha |

| | | It's tacky and sad. All those remotes and cheap AV equipment, but no central integrated system. It huge, lavish, but lacks character, at least to me; it just seems pretentious and gaudy. It's Mike all the way.
Finding it though, CopySix was brilliant! WOW! It's interesting to get a peek at Mike from the inside. Thanks, I really enjoyed the pics and especially the stories/links. Well done
Posted by micro Hey genius, CopySix didn't go there himself.

Some more recent exploration photos.
It's too bad Tyson had poor judgement and people around him to handle his money. But hey I would have jumped at the chance to construct and furnish any part of his home with CASH in my hand and a new truck and tools. The contractor party at the new house was probably the BEST ever!
