After i noticed this house due to the tall grass and overgrown plants and the fact you could see right throught the house Ishootthings talked to the one neighbor and was told the previous tenant an Ivan Stelmach just moved out and the place was bought by habitat for humanity but is currently vacant. This house was mindblowing all the way through. Alot of items with historical significance. The name Casino crown is because i hit the jackpot with this find and it was the name on the mini casino machine there. There was alot of catholic items inside including 2 versions of the last supper. The house itself is mainly solid inside and has alot of rooms. Theres no power but the water runs. Also between the time myself and ishootthings scoped it and when ishootthings went on his own a bed frame was put in the driveway and it looks like the owner may still be collecting certain items. This place was something else overall I would give it a 20/10 lol.
Jan 2020- On a visit (ishootthings) with Piakswed420, once on the main floor you see the horror. Its being tore apart. HVAC vents seem gone and many pieces of wall are smashed. The second floor is bones as the hall floor is there, but in the bedrooms the floor is tore all up. A few things left still, but most the stuff that made it worth going like its namesake, are gone. That clock was gone too. Soo disapointing. It was niiice.
MID APR 2021 - Fencing is up. Not much else seems to have been done to it since the last time I (ishootthings + Pikaswed420) was in. It cant last all that much longer.
MAY 2021 - It looks like a scrapper got at this place finally. As of recent the fences have gone up and then POOF, houses gone but this one, its still sitting here. In the basement a pipe appears to have been bent to try to break it and instead it started to leak. And now its just coming out the back door. Cool. This city is turning into a mess of many kinds. Never a dull moment.
LATE MAY 2021 - DEMOLISHED. There was a piece of equipment thrown behind the fencing just at or before the long weekend. It sat over the holiday and on Tuesday (25th) it started whacking away at it. As of the end of the day yesterday when they were closing the fencing, it was a one floor square, all the debris having nicely landed exactly where they wanted. A truck left and that was the end of another one.

The neighbour down the hill, Jordan, told me today that this is going to be demolished and have some townhouses put in. It will look odd he told me and I agree. No ideal on the timeline.
Under construction because eventually H4H SHOULD be restoring it because its got lots of life left with the right stuff put in.

The property is slowly being tidy''d up. Stuff on the patio that was there since discovery, is thrown out I presume. I still wanna ask H4H if I can buy that clock in the living room...
