Ghostly Ruins by Harry Skrdla Book Recommendation

Note that all the photos are Black & White. The beauty of that is both the incredible details that are more visible and even the ethereal quality of some of these hauntingly abandoned buildings. I don’t care for the very small font. It appears to be a size 10 Times New Roman font. Good luckContinue reading “Ghostly Ruins by Harry Skrdla Book Recommendation”

Adam’s Hotel/Riviere Hotel WILL BE DEMOLISHED!

From the Saint Albans Register: “The three-story Riviere Hotel, also once known as the Adams Hotel or Adams House Hotel, had served as a hotel since the 1800s before ultimately falling into disrepair. Swanton Village had purchased the building for about $30,000 earlier this year with the aim of eventually redeveloping the former hotel, nowContinue reading “Adam’s Hotel/Riviere Hotel WILL BE DEMOLISHED!”

Abandoned Farmstead?

I saw this abandoned farmstead as I was returning from filming. All I can tell you is that it’s on Route 14. Otherwise, I would be guessing as to its location. Behind the house and barn were another house and some other building, as I recall. Someone is using the back porch to stack andContinue reading “Abandoned Farmstead?”

Abandoned and Decaying House

This house had been owned by Larry Lockerby who was a taxidermist. He ran a taxidermy business from this house. There may have been an apartment on the second floor at some point. Mr. Lockerby had moved to New York and worked for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. He again had a taxidermy business.Continue reading “Abandoned and Decaying House”

ABANDONED Sand Bar Inn

From Seven Days VT: ‘”Conventional wisdom holds that the first three rules for choosing commercial real estate are location, location and location. If that’s the case, what’s the deal with the old Sand Bar Inn, a long-vacant motel on the west side of the Sandbar Causeway in South Hero? If ever a spot were primeContinue reading “ABANDONED Sand Bar Inn”

Abandoned Shed in Graveyard

This shed is one of three located inside the Georgia Plain Cemetery in Georgia, Vermont. Its front door may have a board screwed over it, but the side door is missing. There’s a hole in a portion of the roof. I liked the strong wooden shelving in the corner. I do wonder why they don’tContinue reading “Abandoned Shed in Graveyard”

Abandoned Train Station

Join me as I offer a walkaround of this interesting and abandoned train station. That bumped out building portion with windows was very likely used to sell tickets. Note the burnt parts on half the building! I am inclined to believe I was in Dorset, Vermont and this may have been the train station calledContinue reading “Abandoned Train Station”

Abandoned Barns in Vermont

I have driven by these buildings for some time now. Still know nothing about them beyond their location. I do wonder why the land behind them is mowed and these structures are left alone. That said, there does appear to be newer metal doors on the front of the place on the far left. AContinue reading “Abandoned Barns in Vermont”

Abandoned House?

According to a variety of real estate sites, this is either a single family or multi-family home. No idea if it is currently occupied. It certainly looks abandoned, given not only the building’s condition, but the lack of lawn care.
