This abandoned stone house in southwestern Ontario looks like it dates back to the mid-1800s. The main structure is built from fieldstone, a style that was common for early rural farmhouses in the region. It has a simple two-storey layout, tall gable ends, and a red metal roof that was likely added much later.

The windows are all broken or boarded, and the smaller addition on the side shows more wear, with its roof sagging under the snow. The property is completely overgrown, even in winter—tall weeds and brush surround the house on all sides. With the trees closing in and no paths visible, it’s clear this place has been left alone for quite a long time.

Despite the decay, the stonework is still solid and stands out against the winter landscape, giving a good sense of how sturdy and practical these early farmhouses were when they were first built.

This abandoned mid-century modern home sits tucked away deep in the woods. It’s been empty for a few years, and you can see the early signs of neglect as water and weather start to take their toll. With Ontario’s temperature swings, it doesn’t take long before a place like this starts to break down. My guess is that it might’ve been a vacation home at one point, but that’s just a guess. A great explore with with Zay & a thanks to my buddy for sharing.

This old abandoned house is usually hidden from view for most of the year, but in the winter you can finally see it!

A look inside the abandoned Brookside Youth Detention Centre in Cobourg, Ontario. The place has been empty for years, and walking through it now feels strange knowing how busy it once was. Most of the rooms and hallways are still recognizable, just worn down from time and weather. It’s one of those sites that makes you think about how quickly a big facility can go quiet once it closes.

On Monday our close friend Sarah was killed in a workplace accident. She was an amazing person and we, along with many others are devasted. I don't ask for anything but if you can give, anything would help these poor kids during this horrible time. If you can't give, then please share. Thank you. RR & Zenning with Zay.

The Abandoned Mountain Ash Inn used to sit along Highway 17 in Heyden, and for years it was a dependable stop for people heading north or south. It had a small restaurant, a row of motel rooms, and the kind of simple roadside setup that made sense back when long drives were the norm and little independent motels were everywhere.

As time went on, things changed. Bigger hotel chains opened closer to the city, travel habits shifted, and the place saw fewer and fewer guests. The restaurant shut down, the rooms sat empty, and the building slowly fell into rough shape.

Locals knew the place well — that faded sign was easy to spot from the highway. Even as the paint peeled and the grass grew up around it, it stuck around as one of those familiar roadside landmarks.

People would still stop by out of curiosity. Inside, the old hallways and dining area showed how long it had been sitting, but you could still see hints of what it used to be. Over time it even picked up some attention online from folks who remembered staying there or grabbing a meal.

The Mountain Ash Inn has since been demolished, and there’s not much left to show it was ever there. Just open land along the highway now. But anyone who drove past it over the years will probably always remember that little motel on the side of the road.

Zenning with Zay & I stumbled across this old farmhouse sitting out in the middle of a snow-covered field today. The place has clearly been abandoned for years, but the architecture still stands out — yellow brick walls, detailed brickwork at the corners, and that tall front gable with its early-1900s style trim. Even the wraparound porch, with its weathered posts, hints at how solid and well-built this home once was.

The wooden addition on the side looks like it predates the brick section, giving the whole place a layered history. With the snow blowing around it and the trees towering beside it, the house has that “stopped in time” feeling. A quiet little piece of rural history slowly fading away out on its own.
