This page is a selection of my favourite photos from the many Abandoned Ontario buildings and houses I have visited and photographed over the years.
Abandoned Ontario houses, Abandoned Ontario hospitals and Abandoned Ontario power plants are all easily located all over the province of Ontario. Some of the locations below have been demolished, some are barely left standing and some are in pristine condition. Below is a gallery of some of the abandoned Ontario houses, hospitals and factories that I have explored and photographed.
Discovered at random while driving the back roads of rural Ontario.
So many people ask me how we find these places, it’s as simple as heading out to your local back roads and exploring, making left and rights.
I told many people this past weekend, some days are a total bust and some days the discoveries come one after another.
The day RiddimRyder and I found this house was almost a total bust, except for this one photo of this one house.
We had finished exploring Boblo Island and had a map of all potential locations, each of which were demolished, burned to the ground or not abandoned.
Since this house was so boring and uninteresting, I had some fun with my video, you can watch it here:

I first explored this small abandoned church in the summer of 2012, I would return in the fall of 2015 and I was shocked at how badly the place had declined.
I went back very recently and was even more shocked to see its condition.
The piano had dropped through the floor, parts of the floor have entirely rotted away and now the ceiling is started to drop to the floor, with scattered bits of ceiling all over the pews and chairs.

You are going to go nuts when you see the entire set from this abandoned church.
We just kept finding more and more amazing rooms and chapels in this church from the front to the back to the basement, it just kept on getting better!!

Apparently this room is called a Loggia?
“A gallery or room with one or more open sides, especially one that forms part of a house and has one side open to the garden.”
PS – The tree is plastic
I just posted my teaser/sneek peek at this house which you can view here at the link below. On Saturday morning I will post the proper and complete video from my discovery to our return visit:

Under the red glow of an emergency exit sign, I found the entrance door to a girls dormitory in an old vacant summer camp.
While this location is not actually abandoned, it may as well be. Many boarded up windows and lots of decay and peeling paint. Whomever is maintaining the property keeps minimal power running to keep the heat on and the emergency exits lit up. All of the rest of the power is cut, as is the water supply.
This place has sat empty, vacant and unused for over a decade, after many summers of use.

Every one of the wedding photos you see here was buried under debris and clothes and riff raff inside the bathroom of this abandoned house.
Not only these photos in the frames but also dozens upon dozens of unframed photos from other weddings.
Another day in another post I will share with you the oldest photo album I have ever found in an old abandoned house.
This house didn’t have the creepy factor that other abandoned houses have but it certainly was mysterious and baffling as to why all this stuff was left behind.

Items on a dresser inside a womans bedroom in a long abandoned house in Ontario, Canada.
The framed certificate is a 100th birthday certificate from May 1993 signed by Bob Rae, the premier of Ontario at the time.
The bedroom contained many signed certificates from all kinds of dignitaries from government officials, prime ministers and the Royal Family.

A vacant industrial soap factory in Southern Ontario.
Built in 1892 and eventually closed in 2009 following bankruptcy.
This site is not abandoned, it is used frequently for filming movies and television shows and will eventually be redeveloped into a office and industrial district.

One of many locations visited on a huge exploring road trip. This house ended up being the surprise top location of the weekend.
This kitchen has been destroyed by elements and time, food in the cupboards, dishes in the sink and stuff just everywhere!
In the basement, I made the stupid mistake of opening the freezer – breaking a well known rule of exploring abandoned houses. The bottom of the freezer was a thick liquidy mess of rotten food with a stench that very quickly took over the whole house, it was nauseating.
Much more to come from many of the locatioins we visited, I even struggkled with which photo and location to start with today!

In a small town in South Western Ontario along an otherwise normal street sits this old and derelict schoolhouse. Built in 1937 this old abandoned schoolhouse has been an eyesore to the neighbourhood for years. It has been purchased and sold numerous times, as I was told by a friendly neighbour who I spoke with at the site. He has lived in the small town his whole life and remembers attending the school and wondered why anyone would want to buy such a dumpy old wreck like this. This photo was taken in the basement level, much of the building has collapsed inside and the roof is pretty much wide open from years of neglect and Canadian weather. www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography
Inside the abandoned house with the newspaper I posted last week, one of the beds was covered with old photos and items, likely picked through by the dozens of explorers who have been here over the years.
I heard someone once found a bunch of old letters from this house and took them.
This is just a small sampling of the many items found scattered about the bed.

As of today, I have so far explored and photographed 83 abandoned places this year.
With a day set aside this month, an overnight road trip with RiddimRyder lined up and a few other weekends in November and December, this is looking to me an amazing year for exploring.
I’ve done simple houses, some experiors only, a convent, been to Detroit and Buffalo and deeper into NY State, a funeral home…the list goes on.
I think my most memorable location of the year so far has to be this amazing medical building that was part of a larger office building that has been closed for many years.
I stumbled upon this abandoned building after following a hunch that there may be something interesting down this certain road – and I was right!!
I have a complete gallery of this location on my website at the link below, if you care to check it out.

Looking forward to what the rest of the year has in store for me and all of my good friends who share the same interests!
Two cozy chairs found in an old abandoned house in Western Ontario.
This house has been pretty badly looted and rummaged through, everything that could possibly hold anything of interest or value has been flipped, tossed and discarded.
It’s one thing to move things for a shot, or to look through things to find something interesting, it’s sad an pathetic when people feel the need to toss things around, even worse when they steal things.

This large house is not abandoned, it’s actually being demolished to make way for a new subdivision and housing.
Located north of Toronto, there are two large houses side by side that are both being prepped for demolition.
I don’t usually like houses like these as I find them very boring, plus being off a main road the local kids have done a good job at helping the demo crew do their jobs.
It is odd to me that two perfectly good homes like these ones will be demolished but my guess is that they will pack 10 condos or more into the space that currently holds two houses…but i’m only guessing as I have no idea what the story is here.
I’ll post up pictures of the other house next door a little later, or tomorrow.

A simple abandoned house that is located down a rural road in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I recently signed a contract to provide most of the photographs for a book about abandoned houses in Southwestern Ontario and Detroit by an esteemed Canadian author. More details to come but the book should be released in 2017! Great news eh?? www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography
Along a busy street in a southern ontario city sits this sad and unfortunate abandoned heritage home that was once the main home on a large farm. The city has built condos and townhomes on what used to be the farm fields and after the owners passed away a number of years ago the homes condition has rapidly declined. I was able to get inside before any damage or vandalism started but at this point the house is losing the battle against constant vandalism. www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography
Located along a rural back road in southern Ontario sits this lonely abandoned house.
This photo was taken on my birthday in March of this year, I spent the whole day driving between Toronto and Niagara Falls looking for as many abandoned houses as I could find. This houses location was given to me by a friend who also provided a number of oher great locations explored that day. www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography

While out exploroing on my birthday a few weeks ago, I had a list of places to visit but I always like turning down random roads on my way between locations to see what else I might find.
Far off in the distance in an old field I spotted something that looked like an old abandond house. I parked my car and made a long walk down what seemed like a neverending path and I was pleased with what was waiting for me well hidden behind a gaggle of trees and shrubs.
It was early morning and the sun had just risen allowing for some golden light to bounce of the left side of this house.

Tucked away off an Ontario backroad, somewhat hiddien by bushes, trees and overgrowth sits the remains of an old game show television set.
At this point, literally everyone and their mom has been here, and I mean that because I’ve seen pictures taken here by someones mom.
I hated this place before I even set foot on the property, I really didn’t care to go here but RiddimRyder and I were in the area so we decided we may as well check it out. Now – most people probably park right up front and jump the front gate and risk being seen, RiddimRyder and I took the long way in through a pain in the ass forest – in the rain. Me, ultimately losing my sense of direction and getting lost in this stupid forest to this stupid location made up of brightly coloured foam with its dumb water cannons and moats and barbed wire fence.
I hate this place for so many reasons!
For this photo I had to be super fast as you can see there is a house on the right hand side.
I’ll post more shots from this stupid place over time.

Somewhere in Rural Ontario this past weekend we stumbled upon this old abandoned house.
Someone at one point attempted to restore the house but it was never finished.
This seemed to have once been the living room or dining room.
Yesterday I posted the exterior of this house framed between two trees and tall grass.
Along a long and winding backroad, well hidden by trees sits one of the best kept secrets among ontarios abandoned buildings.
Free from grafitti, free from vandalism, this abandoned building is a perfect way to observe nature doing her work on an abandoned building. With every Canadian season this old building deteriorates more and more, it’s a perfect location to visit year over year to see how much has changed. www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography

A perfect example of time standing absolutely still in an abandoned/vacant house in rural Ontario.
It really is amazing to think that of all of the scenes just like this one that I have witnessed, tere are still so many more to be seen and found.
Luckily in the case of this house, all is not lost. There is familt nearby and they know of the house, they try to keep an eye on it and they have plans to make it into a bed & breakfast one day.

“Rusty Bed-Springs by I.P. Freely.”
This is the story of a road trip last November with RiddimRyder Photography, we had driven many many miles to visit and explore a number of locations, and while driving in between locations we were always on the lookout for other finds.
We passed this large abandoned house in between spots that looked like something out of a Stephen King movie.
It was tall, surrounded by overgrowth and very creepy looking. We thought for sure we were in for a big surprise once we got inside, maybe a big staircase, couches and chairs, a big ugly area rug…this was gonna be good!!
Once inside…man oh man, it was a huge disappointment but what was interesting were the mattresses and bed-springs in pretty much every room and hallway.
You really couldn’t take a photo without a mattress or bed-spring in the shot.
Hence the name of this post

I was very surprised to see how in rough shape some parts of this abandoned hospital were. Like this prep room on the operating floor of the hospital.
In this abandoned house in Southern Ontario, the curtains filled the room with a bright orange tint that also overtook alot of the photos I captured.
I wanted the focus to be on the end table and the wallpaper and to not be overtaken by the bright orange.

An abandoned church in Ontario Canada that has fallen into very bad conditions due to neglect. It was discovered that there is asbestos in the church which is one of the reasons it was forced to close.
When I visited this location with RiddimRyder we were joined by a gaggle of about 15 local kids who showed up to cause a massive ruckus, resulting in the police being called.
Riddim and I left without issue after a quick chat with the authorities but the kids may not have got off so lucky!

One of my all-time favourite locations in all of Ontario.
I have explored this psychiatric hospital so many times, yet every time I go I find something different I had not seen before.
A bit of a mind trick with this photo just to make things interesting.
I’m working on a video from this location, but I may not get it done until next week

Discovered at random while driving the back roads of rural Ontario.
So many people ask me how we find these places, it’s as simple as heading out to your local back roads and exploring, making left and rights.
I told many people this past weekend, some days are a total bust and some days the discoveries come one after another.
The day RiddimRyder and I found this house was almost a total bust, except for this one photo of this one house.
We had finished exploring Boblo Island and had a map of all potential locations, each of which were demolished, burned to the ground or not abandoned.
Since this house was so boring and uninteresting, I had some fun with my video, you can watch it here:

An incredible staircase in the auditorium of an abandoned mens residence building of an old university.
The building was forced to close almost 40 years ago after a fire broke out. Foe whatever reason they have not done anything to restore/renovate the old building.
This room is the number one reason to want to see this buiding, the large gymnasium with suspended running track.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the rest of the buiding, as you will see thoughout the week, it resembles many of the old hospitals, asylums and institutions I have explored in the past.

This week I’ll be featuring photos from an old abandoned mens residence building at a Canadian University.

With every passing year we are finding more and more abandoned Ontario houses along the back roads and farmlands. As cities grow and the need for improved infrastructure increases, our cities and towns encroach upon what was once great farmland. Home builders to real estate companies and developers will buy out acres of vacant land and sit on it, waiting for the need to build and for the people to come and waiting for the growth they can profit from.
I find that photographing abandoned Ontario houses is a passion, it’s uncovering and capturing history and it’s very interesting…I like to consider it capturing the present state of the past. The present state in that these places stopped living long ago, in most cases however the rooms remain today as they were in the past, the day the last person walked out the door.
While many consider it sad to see so many abandoned Ontario homes left to rot or lost to time, it is a sign of progress and growth when the land is purchased and developed. I can only hope that my photography, and others will preserve what was once there and serve as great memories for those who remember.

Would you get some more pictures from Camp 30, the last remaining POW camp from WWII I recognize the pool from other photo’s I’ve seen. I’ve been dying to get into the buildings and take photos, (I took some through windows looking in this past winter). I love all these photos!

I hope people don’t find out where most of these places are. I would love to see more photos
of those and other places. Not that I wouldn’t want to see in person. It is best left undisturbed where others won’t raid them. If you get enough photos of them including inside trims and beautiful old doors and baseboards and put it into a book i will buy a book from you.
Keep up the great travels and lets us see these beauties through your eyes.

Hi there! I was just curious, what kind of film would you be producing? Did you ever get a chance to film on any of the properties? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just very interested in the film industry.

Wow, this is some really good photography!!! I would to see more of your work!
Also, I was wondering if you could mention any of the addresses for these abandoned buildings. I’m doing a school project where I have to film at an abandoned place, and I’m not sure which are open for walking in and filming.
If you can, please reply 🙂 Thanks, and keep up the awesome pictures!!!

OK – where’s all the graffiti? those homes are pretty immaculate…..

I am in awe of how pristine some of these time capsuled places are. Always been fascinated with old abandoned houses! Thank you for capturing so we can live it through your photos.

Love these photo’s , being a bit of an adventurer myself , even as a kid, I would go and explore old houses that were abandoned. One particular house comes to mind, it was on Talbot Rd a few miles from my parents home. A bunch of us teens decided to go in and explore, it had been empty for many many years. When we walked in the back door it led us to the kitchen, which still set with plates and food on them yet. Of course we couldn’t tell what food it use to be since it had turned grey from mold, but all the furniture, clothing and personal effects was still there. I wished I had explored further but was nervous since it was during the day and was afraid of being caught. One of your pictures reminds me of it, it was an old two story wooden structure with the same bay front windows on top and bottom. For a minute I thought it was the same house but this one is close to the lake I believe. I was so hoping that you might have a picture of it but I don’t see one. I have been in other places to explore but nothing left me with that feeling of I wonder what happened? Great photo’s btw, thanks for sharing 🙂

Very nice, good job. Looking at these pictures makes me want to drive around and look for abandoned houses and photograph stuff on my own

Just because a property is abandoned does not mean that is not owned. I have two “abandoned properties” and I have given no one permission to enter them – sadly, thieves seem to think it is okay. Abandoned or not you are trespassing.

These pictures are all so amazing and breathtaking. I hope to be able to visit some places.

Hi I am wandering where that house is in Hamilton with the spiral stair case that was owned by a hoarder I would love to go and explore there. I love exploring and finding new things.

My dream is to take one of these houses and restore it to its original glory (after I win the lottery of course!) Then I can run my small animal rescue there. Will have saved 2 things – the animals and the house!

Great seeing all these homes from my old country. The one with pond and shed is similar to a pal’s house I visited in 1965 – wondering here now. Also wondering why in some homes it’s like they just got up and left. Maybe they had come to Canada and yearned badly to return home? Guess most of the we’ll never know.

Awesome photography! You have perfectly captured the essence of what hooks an urban explorer and I’m glad I found your work. I look forward to seeing more of the world through your lens!
D. Johnson
nice photography! can you post a location for the old hearse carriage and wicker casket found in an abandoned house would love to check it out and take some photographs myself.
Hi my name is Nathalie, I am a physic medium and love finding abandoned/haunted homes as some have a pass, some need help, it’s a calling, I always use a voice recording device, EMF reader, and do video recording the whole time. I love your pictures you have a talent that not all have. I would be ad most grateful if you could provide a few locations while I am in Sudbury for the next 2 days. I live in North bay and have been able to find some interesting ghost towns and capture a woman spirit.
We should maybe work together sometime. Email me and we could discuss more
Thx

What is your Instagram, Facebook, Periscope….ect. Would love to follow. Great Stuff here!
Hello! I love your pics! I grew up in rural Ontario (Wingham Ontario) and was always intrigued by the abandoned farmhouse that dotted the landscape. I was wondering what general area of Ontario this is/these places are? Thank you!

I wouldnt mind finding and exploring an abandoned mansion that has been abandoned and unvandalized for close to 10 yrs and if its comfy to me I wouldnt mind living in it don’t mind how scary it seems to some

There is an incredible sadness at the abandonement of these once-fine places. I would love to know the history of how they were abandoned — of course there would be a lot of sadness there.
I need help with an address and/or contact information of a You Tube segment I saw by noah.nowhere, called: Abandoned Log Mansion in the Woods, Ep. 20 (I assume episode 20) of Forgotten Homes Ontario dated last summer.
I have been unable to contact noah.nowhere.
I would need an address to contact Ontario R.E. Dept. of Records.
Can you help – please?

As somebody else noted, “abandoned” does not equal public property no matter how interesting these places are.
Take the United church for example, the lights were still on for goodness sake and the Ford plant is most assuredly private property.
Lovely finds but without permission you trespassed in every single one of these places. You know what happens to the owner if you get hurt there, they get screwed.
