Surrounded by junipers and lots of brush its pretty secluded, actually its almost hidden. This property used to be huge and extended all the way to the creek may have been part of a ranch some remnants of outbuildings were found.  Basic Information Type: Building Status: Demolished Accessibility: - select - Recommendation: forget it  Physical Information Address Garland, Texas United States Owner: See a map of this location  Hazards asbestos rust unsafe flooring air quality poison ivy debris broken glass open well  Interesting Features Roof joists and exposed eaves, wood paneling, lots of brickwork creepy silence and feeling of loneliness. This is/was a very isolated residence, not only could you do Satan worship back here you could stockpile Soviet warheads, train circus elephants, build an ice palace and nobody would know about it. Except maybe urban explorers..  Security Measures fences locked gates Based on real life experience, Garland PD patrols it or uses it to hide out while on duty  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 2006  Required Equipment flashlight long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment boots  History Known locally as the "devil worshipper" house, I didnt find it to be all that Satanic when I visited, on 6/6/06. What I did find was a wonderful old house in the middle of nowhere in the middle of growing urban sprawl. It may have been sold or condemned for future development. You can see part of the tollway from here but you cant see any part of the house from the tollway. It is within easy walking distance of the now demolished Bush House see location http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=24087 This was a really nice house before the vandals and scavengers began destroying it. Typical late 40s early 50s ranch style architecture, double carport, big veranda out back and some very old shade trees. Im sure there are untold stories about it. UPDATE: gone gone gone  Media Coverage  Future Plans The future is now, its gone back to nature.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries 6/6/06 house exterior & grounds Wed, Jun 7th, 2006 posted by Explorer Zero 25 pictures 6/6/06 house interior Wed, Jun 7th, 2006 posted by Explorer Zero 20 pictures Proximity 2005 Sun, Sep 6th, 2015 posted by Explorer Zero 1 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
