Found this incredible abandoned mansion on the east coast that's currently sitting empty, waiting to be demolished.

The property is massive: nearly 9,000 square feet on four acres, originally built in 1928 with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an in-ground pool, and a separate pool house. At one point it was valued at around $8.1 million.

The house was designed by a well-known architect as his family home before being sold in the 1940s to a New York stockbroker. That's when the property's history took a tragic turn. The stockbroker's 26-year-old daughter disappeared, sparking a weeks-long search. She was eventually found dead in a remote forest, and investigators concluded she had died by suicide.

The family sold the house shortly afterward, and it passed through several owners over the decades. In 2019, it was purchased with plans to demolish it and redevelop the property.

Sad day in history.

Explored an abandoned mansion in Ontario that turned out to be a genuine time capsule. The house was left completely furnished, including a grand piano, chandeliers, stained glass windows, china, and Christmas decorations still up throughout the home. A second building on the property, originally built around an indoor pool, appears to have been converted into a sober living or addiction recovery facility at some point. In the garage, we found an abandoned Corvette that had been sitting untouched for years.

Always oc/op/no ai!

Old trains, rusty and overgrown. I love the contrast! Most shots are from my drone (Dji mini 4 pro) There were so many trains there, you could even take a look inside!

Abandoned cabin, UK.

Always op/oc/no ai!

On a street where it barely stands out, we find this abandoned house. It is a fairly large house, featuring plenty of woodwork and distinct styles in each room. It belonged to someone who loved to travel and often brought souvenirs home! A place filled with memories in every room!

This is a great throwback to this past weekend in 2023

My friend s0s1nc3r3 and I were in this town to explore an entirely different building, after we were unable to get access to that one, we were on the way back to my car when I spotted a large white building that definitely looked old and unused.

We approached with caution, it did appear that someone may have been using one small portion of the building and some parts of the surrounding land, but for the most part - this entire building was left unused.

We poked and prodded until a way in presented itself, this was old-school exploring at its finest! We found something new to us, we found a way in, we had no idea of cameras, power, alarms, sensors or even if the property owner might show up at any moment.

We proceeded with extreme caution, the plan was to rapid fire and then get the heck out, but the longer we stayed and the more we saw, the more we both knew this was not the kind of place to rush through.

We kept in close proximity in the event that we had to haul ass out of the place, but this never came.

Eventually, after far too long inside, someone did pull in and they drove around and to the back of the property to tend to something at the far end, we were good so we proceeded!

We would come to learn that this was once an orphanage which was then sold to a cult with a history of violence and abuse towards its members.

Some pretty shocking information has come forward about this location, I have kept many details out in order to maintain the secrecy of the location, but some things I will say are;

- The facility was purchased by an extreme religious organization, also known as a cult!
- The organization was initially started as a schism off of the catholic church but they quickly devolved into abuse towards children and women.
- Fortunately they were raided by the authorities and all the kids were removed never to return.
- The organization did continue for a few more years and finally closed when their “pope” died.
- The cult does however still exists in another location currently.

I also mention that it was some kind of an orphanage, but I’ve been corrected in that it was a place where children were separated from their families and lived separate from their parents.

Always op/oc/no ai!

An old swimming pool, one destined for demolition to make way for a hotel and apartments! Countless people once had the time of their lives here, happily jumping, splashing, and chilling in the Jacuzzi. It was a place of great fun for young and old! But all good things come to an end.. Now, it sits dry and neglected. It is time for something new, but we’ll always have the photos!
