(These photos are from 2016/05/28) This is a house I passed by a few times while going to a part of RI that I don't normally go to. Glancing at it's weird perch on top of an artificial hill, surrounded by some kind of shipping/receiving facility, I noticed broken windows. And thus, my friend and I went in under the cover of darkness.
(I wasn't any good at taking low-light photos yet, hence everything being a bit dark or blurry)
01: Front Door 02: FireplaceThere is severe water damage up at the top right.
03: FlakesIt should be obvious by now, but the paint in this house was NOT doing well. All of these flakes are from the ceiling. And the rock is probably from outside. Probably.
04: Shower Door 05: Basement Stairs 06: Basement Stairs (Paint) 07: Basement (Left)This side is vintage 40's wood panel boards.
08: Basement (Middle)The other side is some cheap (and usually warped) cardboard sheets with flimsy wooden strips across the seams.
09: Basement: (Right)My friend is an electrical engineering major and basically that breaker box is one gigantic code violation.
10: Column ChairA creative solution to a problem faced by many basement owners.
11: FurnaceI put my flashlight inside. This furnace was completely coated in intact asbestos. There were some hooks along the ceiling that used to hang some big wooden shades, which were now lying in the corner. The house being so unusually high up made it effectively immune to flooding.
12: Huge WindowsThis kitchen had huge windows and a great layout. A shame it was left to rot.
13: OvenThere's a neat exhaust vent above the stove for venting any fumes. We were still able to open and close it.
14: FridgeIf I could, I'd love to replace my fridge at home with this beauty. The entire thing was immaculate, even the inside.
15: A MufflerYou know, just, casual muffler.
16: Ceiling Light 17: Staircase 18: More Peeling 19: Closet 20: Fairytale FloorUnfortunately this one came out blurry.
It never ceases to amaze me how unique the interior design of a house can be.
