On Warden Avenue just up from Ravenshoe Road is this abandoned house. I've always liked abandoned buildings and as I happened to have my camera with me as I was driving by today with my youngest son, we decided to stop and get a few shots. Someone came along within minutes to tell us that they were rebuilding the place. They said it was OK for us to look around and take a few pictures. So here they are....
View from what was the driveway.
Some of the original lath & plaster from the gutted interior.
Interior 2nd floor.
Looking from the 2nd floor down into the basement.
Main floor studs.
Main floor kitchen area.
From the backyard looking towards the driveway with my son hanging out in the doorway.
I only had a zoom lens with me so I will be going back to get more interior shots with a proper lens and better lighting, especially for the basement - it's got a great atmosphere and I really want to get some better shots.
Think I'll start exploring/photographing other abandoned buildings in the Lake Simcoe area. There are tons of old, abandoned houses, barns, sheds. Some of them are even rumoured to be haunted. One can only hope....
All photos taken by me.

Just visited this house yesterday, and more work has been done to it. For example, your last photo is now repaired with new brick work. New wiring has also been installed throughout.
It's nice to know that such a place is being looked after.
I would like to learn more about it, though - history, etc.
Thanks for the update. No idea of the history of this place. In the 7 years I've been up here it's always been in the state of disrepair I photographed.
Nice to hear someone is reviving it though.
