Exploring an ABANDONED House (North Stonington, CT)

[@Quasimodo1957]

When I was a kid in the 60's I'm pretty sure this place sold ice cream on the lower floor front of the house. There were three large wicker globes on poles out from that had strings of lights attached. One commentor mentioned the family having a house boat that was a snack bar moored at Beach Pond in Voluntown. I believe that partially sunk in the late 70'.

Ive driven by this house almost daily for years and always wondered what it was like inside! Crazy to see this post on my little corner of the world

[@joedaley1878]

Welcome back. I love to see how these old houses were laid out. They knew how to make a house look like a home.

[@MarcyK13]

What!!! This is crazy I can't believe I just found a video about a house in NoSto. Love it. 💜

[@EleventhHourExplorations]

Great exploration!

[@BeigeEyesCroissantDragon]

My neighbor used to use that place to store equipment and concrete forms. Illegally of course. I used to help him move things in/out of there for size money since they're back was wrecked. You used to be able to get a small truck in/out of there pretty easy.

[@zoeazsss5035]

Nice area, I think kinda ritzy. I used to live in Norwich Ct years ago, and travel rt 2 to go to the beach and drive thru Stonington. Very nice area.. We used to go past a place called Do Drop In. Not sure if its still there.. Thanks for sharing.

[@bullzeyez3236]

Dew Drop Inn used to be famous for their pies. The place is long gone now.

I used to be a blackjack dealer at foxwoods and we would go to the dew drop inn after work for breakfast

[@punch_bowl_turd3005]

the building is still there but its something else now and been a few diff things since. a yr or 2 ago a rig drove into it toward the back. headline ";Tractor trailer crashes into restaurant in North Stonington" NORTH STONINGTON, CT (WFSB) - A tractor trailer struck a commercial building in North Stonington, according to state police. Troopers said preliminary information indicated that around 7:50 a.m. Thursday morning, the vehicle hit the building in the area of 386 Norwich-Westerly Rd. The address belongs to the Buon Appetito Ristorante & Pizzeria.

[@melissacochran5279]

It was built as a tavern on the trolley line to Norwich. Route 2 was as dirt road then . Then it became may other things. I think it ended as a resident in the 1980s .

[@melissacochran5279]

The most reliable information on old buildings is the older locals at county fairs. The livestock and produce folks know everything about where they live .

[@sir_frag1868]

I live 2 miles down the street from that house. It's been empty for 20 plus years that I've lived in town

[@priscilla5306]

Tropicana frozen orange juice popular in the 60s to the 90s

[@jenniferhorner751]

30-40’s Was Captain’s Inn . Rt 2 was main way for Massachusetts to Rhode Island . 40-50’s was an ice cream stand and probably a hotdog or hamburger to get with picnic tables where the first jack daniel’s bottle was was louie’s bedroom . The diabetes paper was louie’s his health was not good . i graduated in 91 and they must have left after 95 . he passed away and his wife went to live with her son in Ledyard,Ct

[@silentrage8961]

My father knew the family that lived there. In the 1970s, they had a snackbar-bargeboat that they towed up to Beach pond in Voluntown,Ct. Back in the still hippie days in the area. 616 rte 2.

[@j-mass]

Wow, interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@xnouztion2660]

Thank you for not going in to that basement i was getting a bad feeling and you go to these places alone wow

[@j-mass]

That basement was completely flooded with water and covered in sketchy ice… no way I was going down there 😂

[@kb1kos]

The bottles in that house were most likely from visitors AFTER the house was abandoned. ALL the construction (wall studs and chimney/fireplace) looks much later than 1920s.

[@j-mass]

Yeah, I’m sure the house has had many renovations since 1927. I’m not even sure if that date is 100% verifiable, as information about this house was scarce, but that was the best date of construction I could find.

[@gsx600racer]

This house is located on route 2 near foxwoods casino.

[@zimrasawyer1881]

I've always wondered what was in that house....

[@ClarkWilliams-qj8mj]

Thank you for the exploration.

[@user-sh1py2ei1j]

Nice! I always drive by this place and was wondering what it looked like inside. Thought it had a fire a while back but doesn’t look like it.

[@user-sh1py2ei1j]

Some more info on it. Built in 1927. northstonington.mapxpress.net/AGS_MAP/PDF/G5690000-propcard.pdf

[@j-mass]

Nice! I saw that a couple real estate websites mentioned the 1927 build date but I wasn’t sure how accurate that was, so I’m glad to see some more verification here!

[@stevenfoust3782]

Love the death trap in front of the fire place!

[@giggles8458]

Lived in Rhode Island, and never thought of New England as a place where there would be abandoned places.

[@j-mass]

Even in Rhode Island, there are a lot of abandoned spots! I’ve been to quite a few over there myself!

[@ddavejb]

Native Rhode Islander here and I spent my childhood and young adulthood exploring several local abandoned houses. Some so decayed it was a miracle no one got really hurt. There are more abandoned properties than you think!

[@PN-et4kg]

Love your videos! Having grown up in southeastern CT, this house really captured my attention, along with your exploration of the Norwich State Hospital. One suggestion: please slow down your sweeping of various rooms/areas as they tend to make me nauseated, and I have to look away! Lol 👍

[@j-mass]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that! You’re right-sometimes I tend to be too fast with my camera sweeps. I will definitely try to slow down in future uploads!

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

I've driven by this house since I could drive, always wanted to see the inside. Thanks!! What's your thoughts on the white house closer to foxwoods same side of road? Abandoned as well

[@j-mass]

I’m not familiar with that other one, I don’t think I’ve seen it! I’ll have to keep an eye on it next time I’m down there!

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

@@j-mass used to be a bed and breakfast but closed maybe a decade ago. Only maybe half mile from this house

[@widowswatch6610]

Yup on route 2 I always figured the casino owns it now. How about the 2 buildings practically next to it . Not to long ago they were bed and breakfast places. Why did they shut down??? I am assuming the tribe owns them also. Then also on that road same area a house was removed . It looked like a old man lived they. I use to love looking over at it. Now it’s gone . That wasn’t too long ago. Then further down there’s was another house that I think burn’t down. A farm house , it looks like there’s still and shed or outbuilding in the back. That was a cool farm house. I loved looking at it when I drove by. Why did it burn? What happened I always wanted to know. Does the tribe own ever on route 2 or most of it???? Other homes further up near Preston town hall are empty too. How come?

[@amylynchbrown]

I would be really careful about trespassing on any privately owned property in north stonington.

[@uberdogsequoia]

I know the people who own most of the behind it not the best people to have an issue with

I thought somebody had to own it still. Bro they will arrest you if you're lucky

[@Astroolean]

There is no way KZbin just recommended me exploring an abandoned house in North Stonington just so happens to be where I live... Like what and how? Never knew this place existed and I live here...

[@Astroolean]

100% just doxed myself but dont care moving within the next 1-2 years anyways

[@j-mass]

LMFAO 😂 yeah KZbin is wild sometimes, that’s crazy

[@erictorow250]

Welcome to New England bro 😎

[@TaxusBaccata-c4n]

There's an old abandoned house in Lincoln, R.I. (if it's still there) that had a notorious reputation for bad poltergeist activity (I've got first hand experience that it's probably true). It's been there since at least the sixties. If you're headed south on 146 from Woonsocket, you'll see Reservoir Rd on the right. It's on this road on the left. No visible address, but it's at pole#29, if my memory is correct. On wooded lot with small graveyard on the premises. Not visible from the road.

[@monkcheetah8203]

Been there multiple times did a couple videos on it myself not far in the back is a old bottle dump pick many cool bottles out of it. It was a beautiful home once upon a Time before the casino moved in. Been for sale for long time now. 👍😎🐆🐆

[@brucepaquette7297]

Why was it gutted ?

[@ghostafterlivesmatter8732]

I live like 10 minutes away from here ❤

[@stevenfoust3782]

Looks like someone began to renovate and gave up

[@uberdogsequoia]

I lived up the hill and worked at stonington institute that house has been abandoned for years

[@amylynchbrown]

@@uberdogsequoia my friends own the 5 acres across from the institute and the property before the institute. My boyfriend lives on his family owned property on the trolley rd.

What was your channel in 2021 cause it says you’re channel was made in 2021 but your first video was in 2022 also can you explore an abandoned school it would be really cool and a cemetery in Spencer Massachusetts

[@j-mass]

I actually didn’t post at all in 2021; my very first video was posted on May 15th, 2022! I created the channel in 2021, but basically did nothing with it for over a year…

I live right outside of Lowell, MA! I try to explore a new place every weekend because I love exploring and traveling so much!

[@whos.Jenna225]

Just found this video. My husband says if you'd like some info on it to hit us up. He'd tell you what he knows about it.

[@grouchyolddan]

So I'm from CT are you sure these are really abandoned or is this trespassing. Not that I care I'm just curious have fun

[@amylynchbrown]

@@grouchyolddan It’s definitely trespassing.

[@amendopublicaccess5742]

I think this is technically Preston, recognized the house from the thumbnail

[@j-mass]

Very close to Preston, yes! But according to Google Maps, this house lies within the town limits of North Stonington.

[@Econolodge.]

I have a question ive been getting into urban exploring i loke in Middleton Massachusetts ive explored the abounded econo lodge and dennys in danvers can i have the address i would like yo go explore it

[@j-mass]

If you’re looking for abandoned spots in the North Shore, one I’d recommend is the Highover Estate in Beverly (I also made a video there back in 2022), it’s a cool place!

The booze bottles come from kids/ teenagers partying not the owners.

I remember when this house was inhabited years ago

Right! 😜

[@jennscott7351]

Do you know the exact location or address for this place? And can you park somewhere if you drive?

[@j-mass]

I do have the exact address, although I’m admittedly not super comfortable commenting it publicly here… if you’re interested, feel free to DM me on Instagram! As for parking, I had some trouble with parking as the “closest” public parking space was pretty far away… I had to do a lot of walking to get here 😂

[@tivbusride14]

I am thinking the Jack Daniels bottles are from people that went in the house and did the graffiti. Looks like whoever bought it was gonna renovate it at one point

[@j-mass]

Yeah, it’s more than likely those bottles are from people hanging out or partying in the house-that’s usually the case with abandoned places, haha.
