Abandoned garage/general store at a cross roads on Hwy 62. Spider webs everywhere. Oh, and observant neighbours. We weren't chased away, but it was clear "going in" was going to be unwelcome. I am profoundly surprised this site is not already on here. Hopefully, the next person has better success than us. Access looked do-able.

****From bandi, January, 2019 *****************

This was a large home with a, and was actually the hotel in Bannockburn, run by James Maitland when it was originally built nearly 200 years ago. The property was basically a day's horse ride from Belleville, and a day's horse ride to Bancroft. After exploring, I did some research and found the current owner, who was alive and well. I never did contact him but it was so odd seeing so many personal items being left behind.

Unfortunately the house was burned to the ground by an arsonist in early 2018.

they buried the mercedes behind a ton of insulation, i'm assuming to stop anyone from stealing it
