Urbex: DOOMED and ABANDONED Ontario Manor

[@TikiTrex]

Hey everyone! This is a very recent explore which I was not anticipating. I had been keeping an eye on this gorgeous place for years as I knew it was doomed. Driving past there recently, I noticed the occupants had moved out in preparation for its last days before demolition. I wasn’t prepared to explore, but knowing how fast these places are demolished, I knew I had to get in there and document it ASAP, even though I only had my cell phone to record with. I didn’t know when I’d be back here again, and it was just a matter of days at this point. Next time I was in the area, it was a pile of rubble, so I’m glad I got in there just in time. It also has quite the history, so please check the description for more details on that. Thanks for watching! ❤️If you are subscribed, please make sure you hit that bell to be notified of new releases. 🛎

Pam, you're back!!!!♥️🤗♥️🤗♥️🤗♥️🤗♥️

[@dougsimerly6829]

Always a great day to find another offering from you, dear Lady.Thanx

[@rafaelperilla4751]

Thank You, amazing video

[@raymondwilliams2609]

Please don't go away again, Pam. Have you any idea of the crap I've had to watch?! Keep your eye on those lawn chairs-they multiply in the dark..... THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE OVER!!!! 😂🤣♥️

[@jackieblue1091]

I'm so glad you're back! I love your videos. You take your time and really explore, unlike others I've seen. They were all men, btw. Sorry guys, but women like to see the details of these places, like the woodwork and light fixtures, old staircases, etc. Anyway, I hope you will still continue exploring! 🙂

[@jtmichaelson]

Good to see you back again.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks!

[@kgbeezr75]

Developers do usually pay a hefty sum for a property they're eyeing, but over the long haul everyone pays the price as green spaces are paved over and trees cut, density increases, traffic increases, crime increases etc.. It wouldn't be bad if it was just a property here or there, but it's a monster with an unending appetite. The only thing that ends it is when density reaches code red, the shoddily built structures decay, it turns into a slum, and no one wants to be there anymore, then on to do it all over again someplace else. I guess it happens over a long enough time that people really don't notice, but future generations will. Money and an ever growing tax base isn't everything, most people need some degree of space to be truly comfortable. In Florida every new housing community has maybe 5 feet of space between the houses that are packed in 100's to a development and they start to fall apart after 10 or 20 years. It's an experiment at this point to see how many suburbanites you can pack in to a space before they go truly bat@^$# nuts. It seems to be happening everywhere. I want a lawn and windows that don't look into someone else's bedroom. Sorry for the rant.

I hate new "development"

[@Karmy.]

YAY NEW TIKI! Sad though that all of this history got demolished :(

[@typingdude4833]

Wow, another great explore, thank you for sharing! I just realized this manor house was only 43 years young when last owner “Dinnie” was born. The original builder was probably still alive at that time, crazy to imagine. That home was obviously well loved by its last owner, for a very long time. She not only outlived three husbands but also her manor home as well. You know, probably 90% of urban explorers are male. I just want to tell you it’s very refreshing to get a woman’s perspective on these places. That said, I think you, “Farm Hunter” in the US and “Urbex Indigo” in Australia are the top three explorers, period, end of story. You guys keep it real, grown up and take your time so we can enjoy the details. Great job!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks so much!

[@Tobin1962]

Urban exploring with Kappy is good too

[@RichieRouge206]

Another great video, great to have you back. I’m actually glad someone has been to the trouble to take all the wood trim as hopefully it will be put to good use in another home otherwise it would have been crushed. Such a waste to knock those trees down too 😡

[@helenweidert3570]

Missed you Tiki! Was thinking about you and your urbex tours just the other day; glad you're well. ^-^

[@sandraboyd913]

I just seen a video you did in 2013 the lady who has a lot of cat's, My first time watching your video you are sincere and give a lot of info I am now a subscriber and have a lot of catching up to do.

[@windhorse4straveler647]

It breaks my heart to see such a place torn down, but she held out longer than the development company thought, I'm sure.

[@ohioyodertoter6827]

in a world of cheap pressed wood dressers and flimsy particle board walls of today this house was made during a time when people actually cared about the quality of they're work and took pride in making a quality home for families to live in it's a shame this was demolished due to the greed of a developer :-/

[@Ifixstuf]

Good to see you are ok and alive! Was wondering where you went. Welcome back!

[@athenamacias5276]

10:20. Ghostly sounds when you say ''steange little corridor here""

[@urbexjahman]

Excelente exploración compañera...es un abanadonó enorme...like👍😊🏚️🔦

[@Babababababe]

Hey Tiki! Loved the video. You mentioned in the description about the McCormick candy/biscuit factory in London, Ontario which has now closed down and sits abandoned as well. Is there a chance you might be able to explore the factory?

[@TraditionalHymns]

I suggest getting a drone and using that for the too-dangerous parts, @TikiTrex! You'd have to learn to fly it, but that is half the fun. :)

[@binkywildsocks9588]

My imagination runs wild with this house. I'm glad people salvage before it was demolished.

[@TheAngeltears99]

Waving hello 👋🏻 I just love your explorations , I was happy to get your notification ... Thanks so much I really enjoy your videos..

[@TikiTrex]

Hello back! 👋That's awesome. Thanks for the nice comment.

[@nowitsabadtime]

Nice to see you back, Tiki! We were worried about you :)

[@bunnyfaceface]

Awesome!!!! Glad you’re back!! Enjoy all your explorations!!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks so much!

[@yooperlooper]

WELCOME BACK TIKI!! WE'VE MISSED YOU. HOPE ALL IS WELL

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you! I've missed all of you as well!

[@cwb0051]

Happy, Happy to see you back..Wonderful old place..Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pam..

[@TikiTrex]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

[@cwb0051]

Thank you..

[@EllicottCity1]

Yay!!! Was so excited to see a notification~ had to comment before I even watched😊

[@Queeni_3e]

Nice to see you're back and awesome video thanks for sharing. It is sad to see the old homes and farms go for boring developments that end up empty as well.

[@michaelh7429]

Your the best........always

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you!

[@chickengnawer]

All those SHELVES-Wow! U should check into Purchasing 1 of those "Tach'" Lights-They're Great! Only I'd Advise not using the Other Features unless Necessary, as the Batteries'll get Used Up Quicker. Also-Bring some Spare Batteries along. They Cast a Nice Bright Light!

[@owen4248]

It's a nice stately manor what a shame it could not be saved it has some very interesting history so sad these historical places get demolished. Great seeing you again.

[@fletcherflowersiii7992]

I love what you do Tiki, I am a 6'2", 270 lbs professionally trained bodyguard, from Detroit, now living in Ontario, am willing to look out for your safety and well being during investigations/blogs. Look me up on Facebook and LinkedIn

[@ImFastrnU]

Yeah, those baseboards are probably really nice wood. My old house in Michigan was 100 years old and if it was gonna be tore down, I'd want the baseboards from there as well. You won't find anything like them at Lowe's or HomeDepot. "Real" wood = "Real $$"

[@Retired_Gentleman]

I somehow ended up unsubscribed to your channel but just tonight fond you making videos again. I'm so pleased to see you back doing your explorations. I've always found your videos to be relaxing to watch and interesting explorations too. I'm glad to have found your channel active again.

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

Great exploration! People demolish the most wonderful things, our world is so wasteful.

[@Figgatella]

That first room was prob a butler’s pantry. Enjoy all your videos so much!❤️😍❤️

[@carpediem3044]

Hi. I am so glad you seized the moment and documented this house, well done - just in the nick of time as well. Great (but noisy lol) explore. Take care - from one fearless lady to another. You are my favourite explorer.

[@endeavor8850]

Tiki!!! Shame that all these places get demolished, but it’s good you’re able to show the world before they’re lost to just memories for ever and ever. The new intro is a neat touch. Thanks for the upload :)

[@kricky71]

Thanks for documenting abandoned dwellings. Always interesting to see the architecture. Appreciate your work.

[@omgomgitsALEE]

All of the history in that home, what an absolute shame. I can picture it in its glory days! One good thing is that pieces of it will live on through the salvaged items, thankfully. Thank you for documenting Ontario! 💕

[@GarnetCarmichael]

Thanks for the video documentation of what was clearly a home of historic significance . Sadly , the Almighty dollar has claimed it's end. Antogony recapitulates phylogeny.

[@teresaclift4686]

You are my favourite explorer and missed your videos glad your back 😁

[@ambergordon9583]

I was waiting for Liberace to come out of that one bathroom.... Was definitely his colors :). Thank you again for a great tour!

[@AdventureswithBeck]

I have to go exploring in Ontario.. It's crazy how much they pay for new development. In my town they're building a new highway through the middle of it. I don't know one person that didn't get under $125k and some of their houses were only worth about $50k. It's insane but really sad.

[@lindajohnson543]

Hi Tiki Trek….what a beautiful property., I makes me so angry that they put in their cookie cutter houses and take out the beautiful trees that are in the way,not thinking how badly we need these trees! This is just the sake for money. Seems to be all that matters any more. So very sad 😞

[@melg1419]

Hi I'm new to the channel and watch alot of urban explorers and can I say wow that place is stunning such a shame it's on a be demolished ... Seen this and the cat lady's vid so far and I love how u are so respectful of where u go it saddens me when u see all the deliberate damage and graffiti.... Please be careful out there. :) . I'm looking forward to catching up on all ur vids sending hellos and well wishes from Cornwall in the UK xx

[@FrankiesFancy]

Such a beautiful home, even in this state of disrepair so one can imagine how gorgeous it had been in its heyday. I can't stand developers. But, rest assured, in twenty years, you'll be right back on this spot, recording the demolition of the structure that took its place.

[@decayexplorer9688]

Cool Explore :) I once explored a house before it got demolished last year that was build in the 1950s :) you have one of the best urban exploration channels on KZbin :)

[@sarapribelszki5792]

good to see you again, you are the best explorer ever (i think, you are a teacher), very sensitive, respectful, best voice ever, keep up the good work (if you enjoy it :) ) couse we love you, at least i do, very much.

[@bonniekaye]

Beautiful old place! Loved all the storage spaces. 👍👍

[@Rosskenpo1]

Welcome back! Funny I was thinking of you when I visited an old fire tower and surrounding old buildings last week. I took a few still shots.

[@erikhagelin6374]

Just love your videos.😃👍 Erik from sweden

[@dylanesque66]

Tikitrex That was different to see the vents in the stairs. I don’t know if you noticed the metal vents in the stairs.

[@sfoss9470]

Love.all the little built in shelves. Sad to know it's coming down.

[@NewEnglandOtaku]

Love the house.. sad to hear it's gone... Also love your intro.

[@SpiritWalkerAdventures]

I was worried about you when you were gone so long. I thought of you often and wondered how you were doing. Missed seeing your videos posted up since I have watched them all.

[@Stampcrafter1]

It's so good to have you exploring again. I've really missed your videos. Did you notice the trap door in the ceiling in one of the upstairs rooms that went to the attic?

[@jimblue39]

Another great tour of a very interesting house. First time I saw a "shared" closet! Thanks Tiki, enjoy your tours so much, take care.

[@michellejenkinson9123]

Yay can’t believe your back. We’ve missed you

[@newjerseybill3521]

Not too keen on people stripping the house, but definitely better than vandals destroying it or the developer bulldozing it intact into a land fill. :(

[@sheapiland8779]

Such a sad ending to this beautiful property. It's such a shame that developers just cut down old majestic trees only to plant new little trees later on. Just easier for them to do it that way I guess but still a shame.

[@bemurr47]

Very glad to see you back...we've missed your videos!

[@connyfredriksson1815]

Hey welcome back i like your videos i hope you find more of this :)

[@samorayee420]

I am very happy to see you again . well to be honest if this house were in Iceland at least every month take money more than 20 thousand euro . iceland had problems about building structure one small room I am paying more than 900 hundred euro every month

[@Dave30867]

Hey Pam I still love the sound of your voice i just does things to me hope your well cheers .

[@kylecartieri8409]

You made my day! Thank you for the new video TikiTrex!

[@jacobarbittier]

So sweet-- I'm so glad you got this before it was demolished

[@pushmearound]

Im really happy you're posting again. The history on this house was really interesting. What a shame

[@clairvoyantamnesiac9770]

Really awezome video explore! Thanks!

[@jeanmichelli4732]

Soooooo glad to see your back! I have missed your videos..

[@RichieRouge206]

Why are the idiotic developers so hell bent on flattening everything? Really angers me.

[@marymoore8726]

Yay! Good to see you again! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@kimbeavan4217]

so happy to have you back!! your explores are the best on youtube!!

[@LostBuildings]

Super cool video keep going the good work :)

[@Roadglide117]

Glad your back. Good video👍

[@leolahulet2066]

They don't make houses like that like they used to it's sad I would love to have it

[@dave1135]

Nice to see you tikki. Might be for the best they demolished this, that traffic noise would drive me nuts. Lol

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks! It definitely has turned into a very busy area.

[@texaswader]

Glad that you got into it before the demo. That was a nice home once upon a time.

[@customscreenprinting]

Thanks Pam for sharing with me this video about Urbex DOOMED and ABANDONED Ontario Manor it was very shocking how much scrappers can take stuff off a house so quickly and easy they do it just like a pro . and I really enjoyed this video I guess I must off missed this one but I am glad I viewed this one too and God Bless you my friend and I am glad to see you are back Pam making those awesome videos you always did a great job doing what you are good at and thanks again .

[@TikiTrex]

Glad you found one of the other recent videos! Thanks for checking it out along with the great comments. :)

[@DVincentW]

Miffed I just saw this over a month late.. dangit. Merry Christmas TikiTrex to friends and family!

[@TikiTrex]

You’re apparently not the only one. For some reason, not many have received notifications from my channel lately. Glad you still found the video. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[@eddiekunert2719]

Nice explore. Thanks tiki.

[@Deliverychixx]

Yay so glad you're back we were all worried about you. 😘

[@TikiTrex]

You’re awesome, Rich! Thanks so much!

[@Karbfd583]

What a damn waste to demolish that! They should restore it

[@mykenwood830]

awesome as always Pam !!!! Don in Pennsylvania Interesting story behind it all.

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you, Don.

Thank you!

[@mlvlatina]

Happy to see you exploring again!

[@bextar6365]

Tiki….So where did you go and leave us ?

[@sewcrazybaker]

SO Wonderful to have you back! This was a Beautiful old house! It's so sad when developers come in and tear these beauties down, only to build cookie cutter houses. There was a HUGE old house in the farm lands near me. I passed it whenever I went to another town. One day I saw that it was For Sale and it was zoned for commercial property. My heart sank when I saw that a developer had purchased the large property. About 6 months later, I realized that this developer was not planning to demolish the building. He renovated it instead and now there's a company in it. I have no idea what the inside looks like, but the outside looks beautiful!

[@krisr1885]

Always happy to see you upload!

[@petecounter9181]

Just noticed you’ve been uploading again tiki...thank you! We’ve missed you SO much!

Thank you!

[@shannonyeates1359]

Hi Tiki!! Welcome back! Quick question... Why do some of you Americans have your laundry upstairs!? Such a shame something so beautiful gets destroyed. 💜💗

[@TikiTrex]

Hi Shannon. Thanks. This is in Canada, and is actually quite rare to see the laundry room upstairs. They are mostly in basements or the main level here.

[@HelenaMikas]

Hi there and thanks for the kick start .Have don a part 1 of a derelict video . Dedicated to you and another urban explorer :)

[@TikiTrex]

I'm honoured. Thanks :)

[@bonniekaye]

Awesome video! I don't know if I hadn't receive notification or if my phone has been messing up. :( I have missed you!!!! You have one of the most beautiful voices! Can't wait for your next video!!

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you so much, Bonnie! That's very sweet of you. ❤️ It seems that many are having the same issue of not receiving notifications of my newer videos. I've talked to KZbin about it, to no avail. Their only advice to me was to make sure the subscribers hit the bell notification, but this never seemed to be a problem before. Strange, but I'm glad you found the video. 🙂

[@jamespilaia5494]

So glad you're back

[@bradleylacoursiere2905]

Hey Tiki good to see you back I have a couple of questions i wanted to ask you 1) when did you start exploring abandoned buildings? 2) what made you want to start exploring? These are just questions that I have being wondering about ever since I have started watching your channel I really like your videos.

[@TikiTrex]

Hey Bradley, I started exploring over 30 years ago in my early 20s. I guess you could say the curiosity in me is what got me started. If I stumbled across an abandoned structure, I just had check it out. Back then, there wasn't even a name for it, and I didn't even know it was a "thing". Just thought it was some weird thing I was interested in. Glad you enjoy the videos, and thanks for commenting.

[@marlobarbaro4883]

So excited for this! Thank you, your the best

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks!

[@aliceflood2435]

Beautiful home and lineage of the person you acknowledged. Too bad family members couldn't develop it into a bed and breakfast place. This lady knew elegance.

[@TikiTrex]

She sure did.
