Abandoned Buildings!!

[Jag67]

I can't believe nobody's done this yet!! Just pics of any abandoned (And I mean REALLY abandoned, not just vacant.) Places you run across. If this should be in general and not here, I'll move it.

Here's a pretty rough house I found in Canada. Yikes.

A forfotten gas station-turned graffitti board, also in Canada.

A crude shot of the Michigan Central Station.

Former Dunlop Headquarters. This place is MUCH rougher than it looks. Almost every window is smashed and it's pretty much overgrown. And it's only been abandoned 7-8 years!!

Here's a pretty scary place on Main St, Webster.

And another right next door to it.

And here's a place in Dudley of real historical significance.  I have many pics of it because it is being renovated into apartments, I will post a full gallery.  It's name is Stevens Linen, and was at one point in the 1800's the largest textile manufacturer in the Northeast, you can see the date on the wall.

now that's the kinda stuff I'm talkin about. Real abandoned buildings. Here's one of the buildings of the Glenny Drive Projects next my aunts school (GREAT place for an abandoned public housing project). In fact, this pic was taken in the school's athletic field. You can't see it in the pic, but RIGHT in front of this building is a baseball diamond. I mean just feet away. Scary. Thare's actually 6 of these things, this is just 1 of them. It's been abandoned since the early 80's (somewhere between 1981-85).

I didnt take this pic, but here's the complex's water tower. Yeeech.

Cool idea of a topic!!  Is anyone in the Ashbury Parke area to take some pics of the old "BoardWalk".  There are/were some really neat, and VERY abandoned buildings there.  Thanks for posting those pics, and if anyone else has some like this please post them! :roll:

[Jag67]

thanks. Here's the WIDE OPEN abandoned apt. building near my house. This has only been closed for about 4 or 5 years (abandoned before 2002) but the nasty kids in my town have smashed the windows and busted the doors open and scavenged the insides. I could go in here and explore if I wanted to, but I dont think it would be the best Idea. Plus, people have been dumping stuff over the years here too.

Nice abandoned house on walden ave.

This house never was abandoned because there was an old man living inside.  It's been located right in the middle of a commercial area for years.  The guy finally died and the house was demolished to upgrade the image of town !!

[HoJofan206]

Have any pics of any abandoned hotels/motels?

AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH! You know what effect these buildings had on me the last time you posted them lol! To me they just scream, "Hey, come burn me down" or "There are at least 5 murderers hiding in the crevasses of this place!"

Ok...maybe I went a little overboard. Maybe it's the effect of having watched Unsolved Mysteries since the age of 4...or the fact that buildings VERY SIMILAR to those in my area have been famous forall the wrong reasons...!!! But old, scary looking buildings like those just have this creepy crawly effect on me--I nearly shudder just looking at them, and imagining what it would be like to PLAY on a baseball diamond right across the street! Gack!

Truviking, suprisingly, there has never been a fire in any of thewse buildings, surprisingly. Not much graffitti, either. But the smashed windows and overgrowth are both eccessive (Almost every window is smashed in all 6 buildings and what were once the parking lots are now a jungle of 4 ft. weeds and small trees.) I'm not sure if there ever been any murders in these but I'm sure their has been. What you said about them being similar- just about all public housing projects like this are the same-same architecture-same floor plans-same layout. BTW, the baseball diamond isn't across the street. It's RIGHT NEXT to this building. I mean right in it's shadow. And the only thing to secure kids from this death trap is a little 5 ft. fence (barely visible in the pic), which is broken in many places.

BTW, sorry If I scared you lol I didnt mean to:bouncing:

To answer Jo's question, the abandoned apt. building above was a motel at one time

It's ok! You didn't really scare me--those buildings just give the creeps! :) They just have a shady sort of look and remind me of the worst part of my town!

[Jag67]

Actually, They're in a bad part of town!!!

[Caldor1999]

hear some bulding in CT with trees growing out of it

[Caldor1999]

hears a parking grage inm Stanford CT trees are growing out of it

[Jag67]

That warehouse looks pretty rough to me. I'd say that's been abandoned a good 25 years. The parking garage looks to still be open. Are you sure the trees are on top of it? Maybe theyre just behind it..
