I feel the same when when I see old stuff like this, just left abandon. Like, what the hell happened to the people that lived there? They just left everything...

The City of London passed the Heritage designation for The Cedars this week! But this is just Step 1. Next we have to use the Heritage Act to get the owner to keep the structure from getting any worse -- boarding the upper windows and doors would be a good start. And then, hopefully, we'll eventually get some action taken to restore it. I've volunteered to the owner that I'd arrange to get folks in to clean up the house and property if they'd provide the dumpsters, but so far they aren't willing to go that route. Still could be several years until action is taken -- but at least it shouldn't get into any worse shape. Thanks again, TikiTrex, for bringing the house's situation to light!

That was the Voyces house. I knew them in the 80's. There was a top paddock for horses and bottom paddock and barn. They had horses for equestrian riding, American quarter horses. The mother bred bull mastiffs and kept the pups in the room to the left of the bottom door. The ladder was a short cut from upstairs down to the kitchen.

When ever I was there. It was pretty dilapidated back in the early 80's. Smelled like horse shit. Go in the bottom door and up the stairs it had silver wallpaper. Bathroom upstairs had crumbling tiles. Living room area was ok though. Steves room still had little kid racing car wallpaper on it, we used to tease him about it. They never decorated/updated things. I have heard that the oldest Boy Steve had passed away years ago.maybe he died in the house-hense the stink? Maybe the mother went off the deep end over it, who knows? Maybe they went back to England. It is disturbing to see it like this and the memories of being in that house watching the horses in the paddock,from the upper balcony, petting the horses in the barn,seeing the new puppies each spring, which were in the room to the left of the ground floor door. there was an office on the right side of the door.. and being greeted by "winston" the huge 200 lb bull mastiff.

It's fascinating to me to find out about some of the history of the house. But that doesn't make up for the sad condition you find the house in later. It just shouldn't happen!

Going to work I used to drive by this abandoned two-story house probably built around the 1930’s and one day I noticed some construction activity around the house. A guy at work who lived in that town in Connecticut told me that the new owners had bought the house from the city for $1 and assumed the overdue taxes. I remember watching that derelict house being transformed into a beautiful home. They even built a large addition in the back, sort of a sunroom, with skylights and large picture windows. The results were amazing. It was done with great taste. It probably cost them less than building a new home considering that the area was very decent. I wish I could have seen that place inside.

That's what happened to a house built in the 1860's... They didn't destroy as much of the building.. most of that was natural.. but they pushed most of what furniture into the basement.. the main staircase fell down.. the floor was gone but they knocked over the refrigerator which was old and short but heavy... knocked over a piano.. broke what windows that weren't broken but amazingly they didn't touch the windows on the back of the house.. it was abandoned in the 90's some time... but I went inside to see what it was like since the front fell down.. and I saw a little bit of stuff left behind, that was in 2015.. in 2018 I saw most of that in the flooded basement.

Just needed to say....your videos are the best I've seen on KZread, among all the abandoned exploration types. It's always a joy to watch them. Excellent camera work, editing, narrating, locations... everything. Definitely subscribing.

It burned down today. I saw the huge smoke plume and could smell the burning wood from far away driving back from downtown. Such a sad day :(

Wow. Thanks for posting. I grew up in that house between about 1965 and 1978. My parents sold it when they divorced. It had been in the family for 60 years before we moved in. Lots of memories -- and it was a great place to grow up. A London developer purchased it from my parents -- Drewlo holdings -- and I think they still own it. The Voyce family moved in and rented it from Drewlo Holdings. They had ponies and big friggin' Mastiff dogs (about the size of ponies). Clearly, they rented it from 1978 to around 2009 from the video. My parents are architects, so there were lots of improvements when we were there, including the loft (where you first entered) and the ladder down to the kitchen. Mom ran her architectural practice out of the room on the ground floor. The barn was known as "The Cottage" because that is what it was back when the family owned it (I'm thinking) in the 1920's. My aunt Catherine tells of the family staying there in the summer months. The building was originally built as a boat and athletic club. My great-grandfather, Herbert A. Sabine, bought it from the Pocock family in 1906, who I believe bought it from boat club. Anyhow, it is very sad to see how much it has been abused over the years -- especially in the past few. It was a phenomenal place to grow up. 10 acres of land across from Springbank Park and about 400 m. to the public school. Great bones to the house. It would be wonderful if someone could buy it and restore it to its former glory.

***** We have lots of photos of it in the family archives from over the years. There were 3 maple trees in front of the house that you can see in these photos grow from saplings to fully grown mature maples. Eventually they died and we had to take them down (and they aren't there now), but it is amazing when you think of it that the house out-lived those big maple trees. Not sure if any of your viewers would care to see some of these old photos, but I can post them if you'd like. Certainly, the house had a great "personality", if that's the right word. My dad tried to buy it back from Drewlo Holdings a few years after we sold it, but they weren't interested. Interestingly, the house I live in now has a lot of the same features: built on a bank overlooking a river, ladder from the main floor to the basement floor. Horse barn not far away.

Bruce Lamb Thanks Bruce! Here I thought the whole thing was built by a farmer with a vivid imagination. Nice to know it was architects, farmers do come up with some good ideas! As long as they avoid building those ridiculously steep stairs... I'm okay lol. I think the ladder to the kitchen area was a cool concept. I wonder how that would fair in building codes these days though. The building codes seem to destroy all sense of imagination. Although some building codes are good for sure!

Actually, the house (known to the family as The Cedars) was built in the 1880's, originally as a mens athletic or boating club -- or possibly a drinking club that you had to use a boat to get to. The renovations that included the ladder were done around 1970 by my architect parents. My current house has a ladder as well -- from my office to the lower floor. And it was put in place in 2006 with memories of The Cedars in mind. So, apparently ladders can still pass the Ontario building code! Thanks for commenting!

The owners of the house were involved in horse racing in some capacity. I noticed that several of the books on the floor were "sales catalogs," descriptive catalogs of horse's pedigrees in an upcoming "sale" (auction). Also, there was a horse blanket in the barn that mentioned a "stakes" race. Such blankets are typically given to a winning horse.

Such a shame it got burned down, could and should have been saved, would have made a wonderful home for a large family. Makes you wonder if only the walls could talk what a story they would tell ... always wonder about the history of who lived there and what took them away from there, would have thought that more than just one person lived there. Great camera work, don't know how you are so steady while walking around, really liked the video, btw you have a easy going voice too, thanks for posting.

this video has really good re-watch value. i come back to it all the time. lovely architecture and layout.

What a wonderful house and imagine how much better it would have been if the vandals hadn't been in there. Vandals are like vermin.

How sad to see a beautiful old home in this condition! Love your videos, wish i could save all the homes ...

Ive taken tons of photos of this house over the years from Springbank Park and wondered who lived there. Thanks for the background and even the former owner piping in! I know Drewlo Owns it. Ive done some work in St. Thomas for a Gail Lamb Architect. Must be the same family! Small world. Its just sad it has deteriorated like this. It was worth saving but is too far gone now. With climate change and all Im sure The Upper Thames Conservation Authority would not allow development that close to the river edge if it was redeveloped on the future.

Adore it's architectural presentation as cathedral windows, in WI, date back to the 1870s. Love its look outside as they don't architecturally recreate this kind of gorgeous style. Simply beautiful, wonderfully elegant with a style I adore!!! Thanks for sharing with blessings from central WI!!! 💖💖💖✌🍀😍

great to see that you are completely objective and not scared at all, fantastic insight into the lives of others thankyou

This is now my second watch. Had to come back, so nice to find you included some history on this place. A lot of history! The inside of the house, while trashed, is still inviting. It's just begging to be fixed up. The nature outside sounds so relaxing. I hate to see places with not only a cool history but architecture go to ruin. I do hope someone steps up and takes care of her. She's old yes but salvageable.

So sad to watch. Like a huge story waiting to be told.

In most instances, these old aban houses were prob owned by elderly ppl who died/ neede spec care/ etc. And vandals are all the same where ever you go.... just looking for forgotten money, maybe guns, old gold coins in a desk drawer, you get the point.

Looks like it could have possibly been a place where, after the house was abandoned, it was used for dog fighting. That corral is carpeted all around to soak up blood. The IV is for the aftermath of a dog fight and all the medical stuff is for injured dogs. I watched a lot of animal planet shows of cops rescuing dogs from fighting rings. They would take pictures of the evidence. And the evidence here is exactly like what the cops would find in dog fighting. this house looks like it could have been used for such an atrocity.

I figure the owner wouldn't press charges as long as he sees I have taken care of the place for him and brought some life back into it. Right now I'm in the process of finding a van I can live in.

Thanks man. things are looking up though, found a free camper trailer on craigslist today. :)

One day I would love to buy a abandoned house like this one and fix it up, to live in it.

I was thinking the same thing until it occurred to me that there was obviously people still living there in 2009. Apparently, an home owners can't be away for long where this house is located before the sub-human criminals dwelling in the area come in and completely destroy their homes.

I DID buy a house like that and I'm fixing it up. It wasn't quite that bad--It still had most of its windows. And it wasn't full of garbage. but after 4 years we're still less than halfway done ...

John Ratko It looks like kids used it for a party place. Had someone been living there, it wouldn't be like that.

I agree with you.....Sadly. :(

Bet ya a million bucks the business there was a puppy mill

I asked where you explored on an earlier video; just heard you say Ontario. Thanks for the great finds you share with us.

Aside from the terrible vandalism, this is my favorite of the places you videod! I love that old barn and the house is incredible.

yes puppy mills ban them !!!

Love your videos! If you ever make it to the states,West Virginia to be exact,I'll hook ya up with dozens of old places to investigate! Thank you for sharing your treasures!! Love these old houses.So sad to see them in such a sad state! Much respect!x

Always interesting.When I was a kid there were abandoned houses to explore.One still had its furniture,drapes cutlery etc. I always wonder about the family that once lived there.

Very interesting video. When I see things like this, I just want to restore them to their former glory. I always enjoy your videos and commentary.

Thanks for posting! What a shame it has been vandalized to this point however, it looks repairable. I certainly hope it can be "rescued". What a horrible shame that a house this old could be torn down!

Your videos are wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

It is amazing to think what these places looked like in their prime. So sad there are those that destroy history like this. Thanks for the videos you do.

wow, what a gorgeous property. and a great video too-thank you!
