Urbex: ABANDONED FARMHOUSE in Cottage Country
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- A video tour (April 2014) exploring an interesting abandoned farm house located in one of Ontario's cottage countries. Dates on a newspaper date back to 1985, so someone likely resided there during that time period. Without a calendar and expiry dates as the most reliable source left behind, it's hard to say when it was abandoned.
Enjoy! :)

This one was a flashback indeed! Something from each decade 50's kitchen 60's TV 70's carpet and 80's wallpaper. very cool house. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by, Jason! Yeah, definitely a flashback. :)
What an awesome house! That wooden paneling and fireplace were so nice and the character was charming and inviting to me. I'd love to restore that house!
It's quite a call on, say, old '70s décor. I was relucant to rip out the 1960s and 1970s stuff in this c. '67 Paris apartment we bought 20 years ago. I waited 16 years -- it had to go, but I enjoyed it, kept it clean, until that time. I sure had a unique master bedroom, with the funniest purple padded walls!
Gwen Edgett
I know, I found it freaky and delightful! I couldn't hang anything on the walls and they were stained in parts, but I considered it all kind of a weird "patina on fabric." I strove to keep that nutty, patterned purple print carpet clean, too. Someone painted the closet interiors purple -- those, I left that way, in memoriam. The front hallway had this wonderful textured "tasteful" bamboo print wallpaper, too. The small bedroom had this grey industrial carpet (okay, so ... ) but these very, very odd brown vertically stripey zigzaggy kind of shiny walls papered! Some cheap fool had painted a lot of other stuff here grey or brown. Atrocious, and that, at least, was covered over ASAP, even plain white being a step up in parts, sheesh! You have to know the French to see how ghastly a lot of their choices still are. And how antiquated a lot of home fixtures are. The door handles are menaces. The windows open inward usually -- no "guillotine" windows, no screens. The toilet is usually separate, and the "bathrooms" I usually find deadly and inadequate, if they really exist at all. The appliances are deadly. It's normal for me now, I've figured out how to get used to some and adapt some, but no WAY am I using orange, brown, beige, purple and busy patterns as default choices! A lot of what they do is practical, frugal, thrifty and I see why it's done. Some of the furnishings and fixtures and choices are just ghastly beyond comprehension, however. I see some "tasteless, boring" American interiors these days on clips and they often seem fine to me, ha ha ha!!! When those purple padded walls came out, with the fabric trim (it was kind of a magenta purple, the walls, not bad in its day probably), it was all padded under that. My big padded cell, ha ha ha ha ha!!!! :)
Gwen Edgett I saw the same stuff in Paris when I moved here in '94. People keep things unchanged and I saw a lot of '70s décor. The more plastic, busy patterns, clashing stuff, the more they seemed to find it valid. I really hated to get rid of the last of my '70s walls and floors and stuff here in '10 but it had to go. I do still have sixties tile in the "water room" (bathroom without toilet) and it looks strange indeed. It reminded me of some interiors I saw in Scotland in '80. "Cheerful motifs" and colors, usually dreadfully clashing and it took me awhile to accept them as "cheery." I do detest beige and brown to this day, so I guess I would rather have some strange colors than THAT! I liked many of the sets on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, including the parents' apartment interior and the mother's work attire and wig for her factory job. Reminded me of my parents in Ohio in the sixties, with paper dresses, paisley wallpapers, et c. Odd indeed.
Gwen Edgett
Funny! My mother's was purple swirls, with a pair of plastic bangle earrings I kept for years. My mother was mentally ill and scary, but she really did some neat stuff anyway, such as ... hand-paint and customize our stuff! As your mother did for you for a fun room aspect! My little brother's baby food jars were cleaned, painted and she made a spice rack. One of them said OPIUM. My parents were straight beatniks pretty much. Actually, I don't think they were kidding -- I'd find things lying around. Grigson does a YT channel here on Anthony Burgess which is really good. Your older kids will love A CLOCKWORK ORANGE in book form IF you can get your hands on Burgess's non-American edition, with a totally different ending. He was mad America couldn't handle his ending and lopped it off! That was my second-favorite book in Ohio at 17, the first being THE JOB by Daniel Odier and Wm. S. Burroughs. I think my mother actually did wear that paper dress the few times you were supposed to. Disposable America at the expense of the environment! Wall to wall carpets, Jell-O 1-2-3, Fuzzy Wuzzy soap toys and Incredible Edibles! :)
Gwen Edgett
Yes, I had all those silly toys, and we were poor. Chemistry set, too, plus little motorized airplanes with a hypodermic needle to put gas in. I remember paregoric for if I got colicky. I think likely my parents kept renewing my Rx, as I'd see it around the house. I found some on one of my bookshelves and thought, huh? (Young teen.) My mother was in a panic. "Did you take the paregoric?" "No!" I was surprised. She kept asking and asking. "Are you sure?" "Pep pills" were another. Dextro-amphetamines for "diets." Everyone was on 'em! They were the main drug for American punks in the seventies, cuz they'd kill your hunger and were cheap and our parents had 'em around. (We were all medically malnourished, it wasn't a fashion thing.) The seventies were the blackest period I've ever known. Ten years of that! FRANKIE TEARDROP by SUICIDE sums it up so well, c. 1977. THE JOB was not too common to find in English. The correct version has many photos and is in French. ENTRETIENS AVEC DANIEL ODIER, it's titled. My parents were these idiotic debt junkies, irresponsible, violent, abusive potheads, alcoholics, cigarette smokers, I found psylocibin mushrooms in the root cellar once from their friends who'd "visit from Mexico just over the Texas border," probably making an annual run North to sell their wares. They insisted they were honest and law-abiding, my parents. I never knew when I'd get the next smash in the face.
Hi Pam. Nice to see that old shag pile carpet , it was so popular in the 70's my brother actually was in the business of carpet & vinyl laying, so when you got your new shag pile carpet you also got a company supplied rake to lift that pile when it got a little flat, so it wasn't uncommon to come home form school & find your mum raking the crap out of the carpet, ahhhhh grown up in the 70's :-]]]]]]
That wood paneling is called knotty pine and was popular fro the 1940's to the early 60's.
There is this adorable house on my street that I have been debating on whether or not it is abandoned... when I moved to this town two years ago its yard was always mowed and it looked well maintained... well for the past year the yard has gone crazy and the porch has yellowing newspapers on it...I thought someone lived there because there was a white truck that occasionally parked there...I then found out that is a younger guy who parks there when he visits town... it is sad to look at this house I mean its adorable. It has brown vinyl siding and a windowed dormer in the center of the roof. Great video like always!
Sometimes when I am watching your videos such as this one, I am struck with a sense of sadness...As always great video! Looking forward to the next one.
More to come :)
Love that old TV!
So nice to find a place that hasn't been destroyed by vandals.
Great video, cheers!
Beautiful untouched house, I really like the fireplace and the old TV.
I grew up in a house that is almost identical to this farmhouse. It's even the same color. Brings back memories.
I don't know how you open freezers Pam. I jump every time! :).
Thank you for another wonderful video.
another untouched house for you. the woodwork in the kitchen and living room was really nice. the fireplace was great. can't say as much for the cheap paneling, and shag carpet though. lol. nice house over all.
Lived the kitchen! Beautiful wood. I bet there was the sound of children's laughter there. So brief...life.
Wow! Definitely a fixer-upper there! You can tell the metal roof has done its job and preserved this house well. My grandma had that same rotary phone, I was a kid when those were still around. I always messed up the number when trying to rotate that dial to make a call! hahaha
Really nice old farm house, loved the black hardware, on those cabinets & yes those cottage walls were nice, MOSTLY the property with house BEAUTIFUL... Thanks Tiki always enjoy your abandoned tours !
I'm glad you enjoy my tours, Gina! Thanks as always for joining me on them.
Hi Pam, thanks for sharing all of your awesome adventures. I just love old cars and old houses. I'm just old enough to remember when push button phones were new. I think it was about 1975. My dad replaced the old rotary on the wall in our kitchen with one of those "new fangled" push button one's. My how the times are a changin'. Be safe and keep em' comin.
It's been a while since that house was abandoned. I always look at the phone, it is always a good indicator of the time frame.
Wood stove hole goes up through the floor to vent smoke to outside or through the chimney hookup. The heat probably was wood mainly then change over the years to other sources. Beautiful old home lost in time to neglect. I would love to live in a home like that, Be Safe!
Knotty pine paneling. Very popular back in the '50's.
NIce wooden walls,I loved the 70's fireplace,
Cool video.
Thanks for sharing.
I love watching your vids Tiki. No annoying music, now special effects or idiotic commentary. I look at these places and wish I could see them when they were new. Or find a way to make the walls talk to tell the story of the place. Keep on filming, I'll keep on watching!
Glad you approve ;) Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
I really like the vibe to this house. It seems like it was really cozy once upon a time.
Really looks late 70s early 80s all around. Looks like it good be a nice retro house :D
You always make my day when you post a new video! Thank You so much!
The pleasure is mine! I'm glad to make your day and appreciate your sweet comment! :)
there are A LOT of abandon homes where i live. i have a friend who lives next door to one and behind his house there is also a big abandon property. its a shame, the house looks great and it has a big backyard that needs a trim real bad. the last owner lived alone and was found dead inside her home years ago.. it has been untouched since. i guess she didn't have any family. both houses are really creepy. but i do want to explore the big property, who knows what kind of stuff the last owner had since it has been untouched. but its pretty creepy knowing this lady had died alone in there with no family, it gives me a creepy vibe when i look at it.
I absolutely love all of your videos. Every one I watch makes me wonder what the history is behind these houses.
Wow TIKI! That rotary dial phone on the wall says no vandals! My parents passed in 78 and 79. Phone like that was still hanging on the wall. For a long time, it was the only phone in the house. That was normal then. It is the exact phone I talked on for years. The thermostat on the wall was a cold blast from the past. It was a fifty's model I have seen many of! But many years ago. The TV and heater also place the last inhabitants well before the newspaper date. Cool stuff! Thank you! Again!
How?
Poetic Chic How what? If you please!
gbppitt Hi, I was trying to understand how the TV and the Heater placed the last inhabitants well before the newspaper date? It said 1985?...
Another super tour...thank you Tiki...thanks to you guys we who dont get the chance to explore all corners can do so now...at least...thats something. And I enjoy your tours very much..thanks
I'm always happy to share my explorations, and am appreciative that you enjoy them! Thank you for coming along! :)
That brass light in the kitchen looks like a keeper. Would love to have that. I know you don't take things from the houses but that lamp is still a sweet find.
i liked the 1970's decor to this house. very cool stuff that old TV was neat. and the hole in that yellow room was for ether the Furnace thing in the closet (with the TV) or a wood stove. great stuff as always.
I am surprised someone hasn't removed all of that knotty pine paneling. That is expensive to buy now days. I always enjoy watching your videos. If I had the time I would like to do the kind of exploring that you do. It would have to be in a warmer climate though. God in Heaven, I hope that shag carpet never makes a come back.
Another great one - all that knotty pine cabinetry & woodwork! The place looks sturdy enough for a reno. It's nice that the vandals hadn't gotten to it. :)
A beautiful explore! Such a wonderful cottage! It would be easy for a restoration. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
Grandpa Andres cabinets, and fixtures! Love this!
Shauna Redding Thanks so much, Shauna!
Gorgeous fireplace! I remember that squirrel poster. Was very popular for a while.
I love your videos. This one reminded me of the house I grew up in with the wood walls. The big old TV. We had a big old tv within a wood frame.
Hey Pam, Enjoyed very much!! The carpet, wallpaper and light fixtures reminded me of the 60's & 70's. And what a unique fireplace it had!! Seemed like it would have bee a very cute house at one time! Thanks for sharing and Take Care!! :)
Enjoyed it very much, it looks in a good state in regards to interior not being damaged by vandals...thanks for the look around. :-)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! :)
As always I love your videos.....some of your comments are really funny! I think I've nearly watched all your videos now which is really disappointing as now I'll have to wait for more to be uploaded. Keep up the great work!
Claire Mahony Thanks so much, Claire! I do have more videos to come. :)
Thanks Pam for another great video. I have watched other urbex videos but yours are the only ones that I actually find relaxing. Must be the accent : )
You're welcome, Shaun! Glad you're enjoying my videos. :)
You always have me so excited when you upload a new video, I love seeing what gem you've uncovered today! Great video as always Pam :) Take care!
Thanks, Alan!
Lovely reminds me of my grandparents house
i loved your "old yeller" comment!
What??! No lone chair in this one? : ) I was diggin the old blue metal garbage can in the kitchen. Very restorable. Good stuff, and thanks again for taking us along! LS
Thanks for the visit.
Thanks again for taking us along..So you tap dance? cool..and as Always Stay Safe Pam..
No tap dancing here! Thanks as always for watching and your nice comments. :)
The fireplace is amazing and the wood wall paneling
At least no vandals got to it
I think that paneling was knotty pine. Happy faces on the shredded curtains, hanging lamps and that rusty coloured carpet all scream "70"s. I am of course crestfallen at the absence of the obligatory chair, but nothing is perfect. Good show, Tiki-Pam. Thank you. Go forth and prosper.
You are right, Carole. Even the obligatory Christmas decorations were missing. Thanks as always for your nice comments.
As always... you never disappoint! What a gorgeous eerie house :) Those carpets say sooooooo much!!!!! You kick ass tikki trex!
Great video. Thanks for taking us along.
Those nice walls downstairs look to me to be knotty pine.
Seems like there is a chest freezer in most of the places you explore. Waiting for you to find a body in one of those freezers. Love your videos.
Just recently here in Baltimore they were tearing down some century old row houses and found a human skeleton in one! It's now at the medical examiner's office but idk what the autopsy will reveal about the cause of death. It was probably a dope fiend or some other vagrant but ya never know if you'll find a body or whether it was a murder. Those houses were empty for at least 15-20 years.
TraditionalHymns Keep us informed!
If I learn anything else, I will.
Enjoyed it Tiki. Great Job
Thanks, Steve!
At 4:18 I clearly hear a woman's voice beside your own when you were looking in the cabinets in the corner of the kitchen. Were you alone? I made this comment and then had read the comments prior to mine and seen other's say that they heard voices as well in a couple of places while you were touring the house, I had only heard it in the one place when you were in the kitchen. That old Rogers Majestic TV is super cool...they were only in production until 1959 and they were made in Canada (I'm from the U.S. and I had never heard of them until this video) and I can't really find much on them but would be very interested in learning more about them. My Dad was a TV repairman the whole time I was a small child and until he passed away when I was 26 years old and I've always had a great interest in old TV's. I must have gotten that from him. By the way, that house looks like it is in great condition for the age and other than the obvious damage to the roof and the windows that were broken, it really could be a great place for someone to actually fix up and live in again. That would be so awesome. What did you think of the condition of the home while you were there?
+Susie LaLonde Hi Susie, that noise was just the sound of the cupboard opening. I heard it while I was opening it. The house felt very sturdy from what I recall.
Oh, that's good to know that it was just the cupboard. I'm always worried for your safety when you're going through these places (not that I think voices could hurt you) so it sort of put my mind at ease knowing that. Thanks for letting me know that. I wonder how a person could find out who owns the home and how to purchase if they were interested. Have a great evening, back to the videos for me. :)
+nr3rful I went back and replayed it a couple of times and I agree with you both, but after she says "unfortunately it looks like it's been emptied out" listen real close...I swear there's still a woman's voice (three syllables it sounds like) and I can almost make out what it sounds like too. I do tend to see and hear things that aren't there though. LOL
And re-purpose the pine paneling, it's really nice.
Cool house. It's funny that the natural wood panel walls and cabinet hardware and handles are just like the house I lived in for a while. Same color stain and everything. Probably built in the same time frame. Similar even though we are very far apart geographically.
Thanks Tiki, I'm trying to get some of my relatives to watch your videos
Hi Pam,
I'd assume the hole in the yellow room is connected to the fireplace below. I love this house! It seems very warm and welcoming. I love this video. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice tour as usual. Looks like it was a nice little house in its day. I remember one of my chores as a kid was to rake the "shag" carpet every now and then. Seems funny now. You should work for Discovery network or something like that with these adventures.
I get nervous when you open the frig & the freezer! Thanks for the tour!
You're welcome!
At 4:30 is that money in that plastic container thing? That'd be crazy if someone actually left money there :) Neat video as always!
This is a relaxing thing to wake up too! :)
In the states we call that paneling "knotty pine". It does have a charm about it :)
Thought I'd browse through some of your videos again, and came across this one - Wow! how did I miss it before? Particularly like ones like this, where vandals haven't trashed the place. Isn't the stonework around that fireplace amazing?
Thank you for posting your work - so talented - and wishing you and your family a wonderful Holiday season.
Thank you, Meg! Glad you found this video. Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.
Another awesome video. I really enjoy your videos. It always adds to the mystery when places like this are left untouched for years.
Thank you. I'm glad you like my videos!
Think I'm in love with this place
Thank you for this Pam! You are awesome!
Great place, great house, great video !!....thxs for share...from Puerto Rico,USA. :)
what a nice farm house especially the inside and it even looks fixable not much I would change about it thanks for another great video I really enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work :):)
Nice old house thanks again for a great video.
LOL close up of the poop hahaha This place looks as tho it can be fixed up and made habitable once again. The handles on the cabinets in the kitchen are the same type thats in my mom and dads old place. they are from circa 1958. They are deceased now but my sister lives there . Look forward to more vids !! Thank You Pam !!!!
That's interesting about the handles in the kitchen. And you're very welcome! I have more videos to come! Thanks for watching! :)
Another great video tiki; thanks for sharing this.
Hi Pam, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS look forward to your uploaded video...I always wonder where you'll be next! Personally, I thought the upstairs to this house was really creepy...Not sure why. The yellow room upstairs appeared to be a children's room. I noticed there were no closet doors but instead the family used drapery at each entrance. Again, for whatever reason, I was glad to see you leave that upstairs area. (Mario ~ El Paso, TX)
mrob75 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Mario! ;) I appreciate it.
Loved this! Did you save me some of that cool shag rug? ;)
Thanks for you effort on all your adventures. Your play by play is always entertaining.
Thank you, Robert!
***** I think you would be perfect for a show like History Channel. You would have a big following.
Though it was filmed in April, I like the bright, wintry, no-leaves-yet quality of that rural setting. I find it restful. Tiki, after you go through a house or other structure do you ever spend some time there to just enjoy the quiet and solitude?
I would like to, but also like to limit my exposure.
Someone should re-purpose the split rail fencing. Great find per usual.
Hi Tiki. That was pretty cool. Thanks again. I must say that you had a long winter!
Ole from Denmark.
Hi Ole! You're very welcome. I've heard our winters have a lot in common. :)
This was a fabulous video, Tiki! It's crazy that the wall looks brand new-ish, but you don't see that style of wall used these days (on the most part). I do like it, though. Thanks again for the awesome video and narrating, as usual! I hope you're having a great week! :-)
Thank you, Alex! I hope you're having a great week as well! :)
Great video, as always! I love your videos, and your narrative! Keep up the good work!
Great Job as always. I am still expecting a body in one of those big chest freezers one of these days lol. I did not see any Christmas stuff I was disappointed
Thanks, Joshua! Yes, that was a little bit of a disappointment! :)
I miss your lovely videos Tiki..Hope you are well.
We used to keep an old dial phone as a backup when I was a kid, except it was the tabletop sort. I once opened it up and found the insides fascinating. :)
Don't be sorry there was nothing to see; I'm sure it puts our collective minds at ease LOL.
It is overall a charming and structurally sound house, but it gives me a bit of a creepy feeling I can't put my finger on.
"Let's go upstairs." I feel like I'm getting the grand tour de house. ^_^ Has anyone ever told you you'd make a great real estate agent, Pam? You could sell me any house rofl :P
I imagine "Mr. Ed," "Jeopardy" or some such was on channel 8 at the time. ;) I couldn't read the other knob either. My best guess is 'colour' O:)
I reckon the hole upstairs was for a woodstove or something. You know your house is old (and inconvenient) when the bathroom's not upstairs.
Awesome video, Pam. Keep it up!
There you are, Lewis! Haha! I actually sometimes feel like a real estate agent while narrating! But I'd make a terrible sales person because as soon as someone said they're not interested, I'd say, "Oh, okay, I don't blame you!" LOL! Oh, and the last time I opened up an older-style phone (yeah, I have to see what's inside almost EVERYTHING!), the phone rang as I was touching some circuitry and sent me flying across the room! LOLOL! Curiosity got the best of me that day!
HAHAHA! Yes, I am back from the crypt lol. Been saving this one for my next meal ^_^ Thankfully our phone was disconnected when I did that lol. As I understand it, telephone wires can pack a punch!
that was deff tweaker heaven at some point
"Too secluded for humans... or squatters" Tiki you're funny
Hi. After you video the stove in the kitchen you go to the right and look into the cabinets. Right after you say "looks like it's been emptied out" there is a voice talking. I can't make it out but you might listen to it closer. Love your videos!!!
Hi Arthur, I know the sound you are referring to and it's just the hinges on the cupboards and doors. They made a weird noise when opening or closing. I'm glad you love my videos! :)
As always, thanks for sharing a great video.
Thanks for watching! :)
I would have loved to see the old basement furnace.
It looks like the place was kept very clean at one point.
I know, of all times my camera fails, it's when there is a unique furnace for once. I was so disappointed to find that out when I got home and played the video.
Oh well sometimes that happens.
Thank you for another wonderful video. Despite its shabby appearance on the outside, this house looks quite fixable on the inside. Two quick questions: In one room upstairs (yellow walls, blue curtains) it looked like there was a poster hanging on the wall. Couldn't make out what it was specifically; did you notice? Also, why didn't you get some close shots of the barn that first attracted you? Not complaining, just wondering.
Neat house, love that it's so well preserved:) Good job:)
Thank you :)
Great video as always. I want this house!!!!
Hi Pam, I really like to see these properties as they were left, I hope it remains so as it wouldn't take a lot to make it liveable again! I would move in tomorrow given the chance :) and what is it with you and Racoons? lol thank you for the great walk through , Mick
You're welcome, Mick! I always seem to find something to do with them, don't I? Thanks for joining me as always!
Great video; Only the Best from Tiki Trex.. The house, not the best on the outside, but inside, Wow, with wood paneling & Fireplace, looks much nicer than mine.
Thank you for this..
ndog2005 Always my pleasure. And thank you!
As always, a great video. Thanks, Tiki.
You're welcome, Anita, and thank you! Take care.
I would love to take a trip with you on your adventures it looks sooo fun!! Lots of love from Texas(:
Girl, you better run !!! At 3:19 when you say "there is just an old tire and shovel in here", a ghost clearly can be heard right after you say that..... :-)
Yikes I thought I was hearing things too, unless she had someone with her, sounds clear with head sets on lol.
Did you hear the moaning at min. 4:20? And every time she passed by the first shed/entrance he camera blurred out and then she puts those letters saying her camera turned off at the beginning and couldnt record.. maybe something creepy happened there 😱
Great video as usual Pam, That tin? work appears to be from the early twenties, cant tell, but the outside metal seems to be aluminum
Sad when people tear up a victorian interior and make it look like the inside of a trailer.
Nice and quiet there.
I love these. This is a great concept.
another great work tiki
That quaint, simple exploration was somewhat interesting.
beautiful place
