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. 🛎

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! 🙂

Good to see you back again.

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!

I hate new "development"

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

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

Hi Tiki.I used to watch your videos with my mother in law and she really liked you and your videos. She's gone now but I'm glad that she enjoyed our time here.Better than television.

Hi Will. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I'm glad I was able to provide some enjoyment during her time here with us.

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! 💕

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.

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 😡

Yay! Thanks for taking us along. Hopefully you will be able to share more new explores soon. Happy that you are back.

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

I'm so glad that your back exploring abandoned houses/barns. I throughly enjoy the way you videotape taking your time and explaining everything. Please keep up the excellent job and you have a fan for life😀😀😀

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 :)

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

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.

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!

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

So wonderful to have you back

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

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.

So glad to see you exploring again! I love all of these amazing abandoned places, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for posting! I love that you not only create an excellent video but also provide a bit of history on the location and family when able. That makes your videos even more interesting. I just finished reading the article. Very informative but I found it odd how they ended it with a mention of her brother and sister in law choosing an assisted suicide.

Wonderful to see you exploring, and glad to see you still doing it.. great job as always and thanks for keeping us entertained but also teaching us history of buildings before they are lost.

Hey , welcome back , its been a while , very cool explore , enjoyed this , keep up the good work.

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.

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

Amazing video! Thank you so much for giving the history on this location also. Looking forward to seeing more videos 😁

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

Glad to see you back! Love your vids.

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

I am so glad you are active again! Your videos are one of the things that inspired me to start my own channel. Was about to ask if this house was in London but then read the description. Most of the houses you documented on Southdale Rd 2 years ago have now been redeveloped. I don't know if you live in the London area but if you do you must be one of our most popular KZread creators. KUTGW!

Glad to see you back and exploring.

Happy to see you exploring again!

So glad you're back

Love your videos! Glad to see you back! ❤️

That looks to have been, at one time, a stunning home! The property it sat on was beautiful, as well! Fantastic explore as always!

Another awesome TikiTrex adventure!!! Glad you gout this place filmed before it was gone! Keep up the good work, and even with the cell phone video, it honestly looks just as awesome as the other videos!!! ❤️

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?

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

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 KZread :)

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 KZread 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. 🙂

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

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.

Awesome video, thanks for the share. I did read the description and your pinned comment and watched the whole video. I recently went through the McCormick factory with a few friends at night time.. Stairs were frozen, most dangerous thing I ever saw.. Sketched me out a little bit..Stay safe out there on your explores

Wow, great explore! To see this home back in it's prime would be amazing. Loved the cabinetry, shelves, & windows. To have a house with so much space would be my dream. Thanks for taking the time to explore this beauty and for looking up the history on this place. Thanks to you this beautiful home & it's rich history will never die. :)

It's always nice to get a new video from my favorite Explorer! If you want to get an idea of what the window trim looked like @8:34 the window in the stairwell still has it's fancy trim in tact. Welcome back and 2 thumbs up!

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?

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.

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.
