The Shell

So, a little while ago I spied this mess on the south west edge of Windsor. I told John about it, and he was game to go check it out.

No mail… Must be because it’s Sunday…

Here’s a full on shot, of this burned out shell. So we walked up the front steps, and man was that porch shaky… We decided to skip the interior visit based on the condition of the porch. Who knows what crap awaited inside.

Looking through the charred front door, you can see that the place is basically a shell. Only the cinder block chimney survived…

… and the bathtub….

One more quick look inside this burned out mess, and were off… So sense risking injury on this one. 🙂

  • Lilly, I drove by the sitet today, and you would never even know that there was a house there...

    Another bit of history. Thanks for the heads up.

  • Wow, more Windsor memories. So they tore that sucker down eh? I was wondering how long it would sit there.

  • That looks alot like the place that is across from St. Clair College. Or was, if this is the same place like I think.

  • Pretty crazy...been an avid reader and that was my grandparents house until the government bought them out in, wow, 2001-2002 area.

    We used to have huge family gatherings, and that there with the vast land around it, frozen pond at St Clair etc.

    Did turn into an unfortunate eyesore though.
