1470 Bronte Road

Looks like destroying the home wasn't enough. I couldn't get close enough with the roads blocked, but from where the smoke is, it looks like the barn is on fire right now.

Demolished, was a beautiful home.

Arseholes. House was on fire yesterday, no explanation yet, but I assume arson. I haven't been by there yet but I've been told the roof is destroyed, not sure how well the structure has held up or if it's salvageable, but it is still standing. http://www.thespec.com/news-story/5933547-century-old-home-goes-up-in-flames-on-bronte-road-in-oakville/

it is indeed bat guano

I didn't see any rats, just bats.

There is a POE at the front of the house beside the main door, all the other windows are boarded so its quite dark and scary inside. Also rats have set up camp in the attic and there are mountains of poo all over

All sealed up again.

The back door was wide open when I went. Unfortunately everything else is boarded up so it was so dark and musty inside.

Awesome 19th century house. Thanks for the photos all.

beautiful :).

Last time I was in, there was still bats living in the attic. So please be nice to them :)

The story goes that this property housed an orphanage for many years

Nice adds Superss, too bad they sealed it up on you :(

My guess is that this will become a Provincial Park House much like the Spruce Lane Farm House on the other side of the Creek. Heavy landscaping & what looks like a berm being made. Maybe to separate the outside world from the campground & the house?

I used to think I was a freak but now I'm not so sure.

Im surprise you haven't gone down a chimney yet to get inside. Lol

From the look of things I guess this place get added to places I want to visit.

F#$KING RIGHT I got in! haha, it's cool inside - great staircase. I found some more pics from the 1800's - uploading as we speak..hang tight. Thanks again for finding this Filper, I took off to see it right away since it's so close to my place. Definitely some kind of slow restoration going on inside..very very slow!

I haven't seen it yet but I was going to comment before that if anyone was going to get in it was r&r

Nice entry love the red brick palaces like this.

Thanks for the fix. It is owned by the Province and very secure.

Nice find Filper, I've never thought to look that way on Bronte! Lets hope someone can get some inside pics.

Very nice location though. i guess its sealed up tight from the looks of it.

you can do that yourself by the edit location button up top.
