The history of gorgeous Guyitt house
Built in the 1850s, it was bought by Roy and Ethel Guyitt, situated along Talbot Trail, which meets the north shore of Lake Erie in Chatham-Kent
Due to being old, it does have its dangers of falling, earlier, the bricks were removed due to a constant threat of falling over and cracking a skull of anyone below. As well as a front porch and a barn have been removed
Jaw-dropping gothic beauty of Guyitt house
The house is also one of the most photographed houses in Ontario. The house looks straight up from a movie, it reminds a lot of the house from the popular cartoon show “courage the cowardly dog”
Currently owned by peter Anderson, who for certain reasons can’t live in the house and honor its ancestral heritage, does try his best to keep the lawn cleaned up and mowed. Its owners are pleased when people come by to visit the house, however, owners don’t like it when people try to enter the house.
The Guyitt House was demolished June 21 2023.

I drive by the Guyitt house often. Would love to see it restored to it's former glory.

The neighbours across the street watch the house. They gave me a short history about the place saying it was built in the 1800 and the owners live down the street. I would recommend you introduce yourself the neighbours across the road just letting them know you are there.BEWARE: they don't like people going inside the house as it is falling down and the second floor and the stairs are all rotted
Lovely house. The detailing out at the front of the house (around the windows) is my favourite.
Another great gallery added by ccc. This place is epic! Typical classic looking abandoned house, like 'Varna' and 'Daigle' ,etc.
Great galleries here...such creativity. What a great looking location. Seebest's gallery is wicked..
The great thing about this place is , no weed wacker, machete, needed, thanks to the owner who mows it ! also please remember NO SMOKING around these old wood structures.
