Hoarding Properties Part I

In rural Finland, there is a village, where railroads to four directions meet. All the way until the 1970’s it was inhabited by thousands of railroaders and their families.

Then new rails were built and the village became obsolete. Since then it has been losing population. Throughout the years the national railway company has sold railroad related buildings and apartments away.

There’s one guy, who buys all of it, but doesn’t take care of it. That’s why historically important buildings rot away in the very heart of the village.

Such as these three row houses.

All identical, gardening was last done in the early 2010’s. Now they’re slowly being taken over by nature.

The windows have been covered with plywood.

The owner lives in the village. Although he keeps the buildings empty, he seems to fix what the vandals break.

No luck with these.
