Doors nailed shut always give me the heebie jeebies, and with the clever, stylish wallpapering of the window, this must have been the decor when people were still living here.
This isn't exactly the sight you expect to find in a front living room, but in abandoned houses, one never knows. Perhaps the owner was inspired to try some renovations here. The attempt must have been short-lived.
Dedicated to DrunkenMunky420. Between him and myself, this is the 3rd instance of finding these awful retro-70s mirrored gold-foil-veined bathroom tiles in Niagara abandonments this year!
Pissy smell in here was a bit overpowering so I opened the back door to let a breeze in and provide an escape if someone came through the front. Looking at these pics now, I realize I didn't close it. You might want to check the back veranda and see if it is still open if you visit.
Sadly I did not have a flashlight and stopped here. But the basement looks quite interesting, especially the weird back room there through the broken concrete wall. If that was dug later, how did they wall the interior? And if it was original, why the broken-brick entryway?
