I posted these up on the photography forum, but I think they'll fit better here.

So I passed by these things for a long while before finally going in, and it was bloody worth it.

These ol' beauties are going to be turned into...(wait for it)...new condos!

If you are feeling a little adventurous it's worth the trip.

So does anyone know why these have been sitting derelict for the past 20+ years? Stubborn landowner?

Going by the skid on the front lawn with the railings and stuff, it looks like someone is at least salvaging some of the architectural details. That's good.

Pretty much. They've been like this for several decades. The developers can't knock them over because they're heritage protected, but they aren't willing to restore them either. So they just sit and probably will continue to do so until demolition by neglect happens, or a fire bug is able to finish them off. It's pretty depressing.

If you google "glen road abandoned houses" you can find some results. I'm not gonna direct link them here since it kinda gives you exact locations and I don't wanna step on any toes. I don't think it matters personally as they're easy to find and have been there for longer than I've been alive, but I already edited quite a few identifying points out of my post... just in case.

I thought so too, it's where the shots 1, 2, and 3 came from. It was a very unique building, but the second floor was far too unstable to climb.

The basement looked absolutely fun too, but since this was a spur of the moment adventure, I didn't have a mask to go and see for myself.
