Abandoned Ontario Photography
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: https://youtu.be/OqXFXDkvXzA

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.

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: https://youtu.be/cL99s-1wZn8 This vacant mansion sits unoccupied, occasionally maintained but no longer used or lived in, as it awaits a decision on it’s future or its fate.

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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com .

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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com

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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com

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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com
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! www.freaktography.com www.instagram.com/freaktography
Continuing with detail shots photographed at an abandoned ontario house, I took this photo in the womans bedroom. The room contained a hutch full of her old clothes and many other items were towwed about on the floor. This prcelain wall decoration remained hanging with the stained wallpaper. Make sure you’re following me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/freaktography I’ve also got lots of stuff if you need to kill time on my website at www.freaktography.com Finally, if you want to help me out with a big road trip I’ve got coming up – there’s something special for you at this link here!! http://tinyurl.com/hqgzzk8

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.

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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com
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. https://freaktography.com/abandoned-office-building-hazardous-materials/ 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.

Inside an old abandoned Ontario schoolhouse in the southwesters area of the province. Multiple fires, years of elements and overall neglect have caused this old historic building to get to this condition. Someone owns the land and the property is maintained, but the inside of this schooolhouse is far beyond saving. www.freaktography.com/abandoned-ontario www.instagram.com/freaktography
The old man in the photo on the wall is the same man in the photo I posted yesterday, with the portrait on the bed,. This house was a giant mess, hard to move, hard to navigate and entirely overwhelming with so much junk all over the place. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com
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. www.freaktography.com www.instragram.com/freaktography

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??

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.

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.

How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
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. www.instagram.com/freaktography www.freaktography.com
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.
