A Traditional Season Start Part II

The following building was discovered by my friend, when they found the announcement about it on an auction web site. The building had found a new owner recently, but they hadn’t yet done anything about its rotten state. I believe, that there have been two apartments on the ground floor. The owner of one ofContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part II”

A Traditional Season Start Part I

For more than 10 years I’ve had the tradition of visiting the city I was born in during Easter. I no longer have relatives there, but I have a godson, whose father also is interested in abandoned buildings. He even photographed one for me, when its demolition started. I usually arrive on Thursday and leaveContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part I”

Even December Is Good For Dating

I earlier mentioned, that I had tried to visit my friend while exploring another familiar location. She said, that she was unavailable. Well, that autumn she told me, why. She had broken up the previous day, and just didn’t want to see anybody. We started chatting, we started flirting. And in December that year weContinue reading “Even December Is Good For Dating”

It Turned Out To Be A Close Call

And yet another familar location we have here. A former farm house last used by artists and abandoned in 2018. The city wanted to demolish, the locals wanted to protect. An all too familiar story. Starting a walkaround to see, if there was a way in. Well, there at least was one to the basement.Continue reading “It Turned Out To Be A Close Call”

An area, which would soonContinue reading “Sometimes Tips From Work Are More Than OK”

Same House, Same Window, Different Result

October was advancing fast. I returned back to a location, which I had tried to visit for the first time the previous spring. A one family house, which was due to be demolished to make way for more efficient housing. Things here looked pretty much the same as they did in the spring. I reallyContinue reading “Same House, Same Window, Different Result”

Adventures First, Jacuzzi Second Part II

The following abandoned building wasn’t very far away. As you can see, neither was autumn. There is a sign warning of cameras here. Surprising. Entering the driveway. Well, it looks like just an ordinary one family house. Surprisingly enough, the camera surveillance might actually be true this time. The mailbox has stood there for aContinue reading “Adventures First, Jacuzzi Second Part II”

Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part VI

And so we have reached another familiar location. This is the business and apartment building featured earlier in here. It featured a bar, which was closed for ages. There was another business space as well. The building was protected, but the owner still wanted to demolish it. The entrance to the apartments was at theContinue reading “Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part VI”

A Small Corner Conquered

Another earlier featured building. I’ve previously wondered what it has been, but it turns out, that this is the gardener’s and chauffeur’s home of a tuberculosis sanatorium, and built in 1933. The sanatorium later became a regional hospital, which was closed some time ago. This building, however, along with the apartment buildings for doctors andContinue reading “A Small Corner Conquered”

Waiting For Its End

And welcome yet again to a familiar location. Here we have a sawmill factory workers’ apartment building, which has been empty for years and already has a demolition permit. I recently shared my previous photos from the same location to a local Facebook group and heard, that it had been converted to a clubhouse atContinue reading “Waiting For Its End”
