✸ BURNT DOWN MANSION

[ back to urbex page ]
ok so this one is a doozy. on the outskirts of my suburb is a string of big properties with land backing onto the river. this is the ruins of one of the mansions there that was burnt down in a housefire and for some reason, repairs just stopped getting done on it for a long stretch of time. this means the place is exposed to the outdoors, as the entire second storey has collapsed in on itself, and it's a massive huge fungi and mould hazard, not to even mention the asbestos that is signposted everywhere to be cautious of.

so, naturally, this is where we would hold parties in high school.

it's been a while since i went back here, it was at least 4 or 5 years ago that i last passed by. i actually had a terrible time exploring this last time i was there; i put my foot right through some of the wooden staircase. whole thing just collapsed when i stood on it and shredded my leg to pieces, and on top of that, we got chased out by a neighbour who threw a bunch of shit at our car while we tried to book it backwards out the driveway, so! i have no interest in going back here
