And they didn't leave any coffee or end tables. Certainly not proper decorating protocol.

I can see this in a frame, on a wall!!

I can still see its past beauty! Love that staircase!

Or maybe somebody with a foul butt scared them all into a corner?

Yea! I thought of Amityville Horror at first too! Its just the windows that are different...

I just know them damned zombies lie ahead.

No decorating needed, and I see it comes with it's own crypt-keeper.

Flushed you nailed it!!!!!!!!!

I believe the people there would now be those living under bridges and in squatter camp tents. Kind of hard to say this place was worse than that.

Some wood, some concrete. Wooden floor joist support holes in the walls, floors long rotted away. Then add cabinets and furniture.

Amazing to just find a lone grave marker in the woods from 100ish years ago, and then be able to gather such information just pushing buttons in the home. Amazing that I watched the concept go from totally unheard of to being a reality. Very cool.

Homes for $1 or $10 is not that unusual. Many municipalities have done it. It works out to get the properties productive on the tax roles. The buyers have to screened though. As motts points out, all kinds of folks will come running waving a dollar, but they must also have the means to move the property forward.

Or maybe bricked up chambers of vampires or zombies.

Yup that's me shining my tiny flashlight around.

Nah the board-up job done when it was closed was hastily done with cinder block; the masonry here looks to be done by a professional at an earlier date. There's probably a shaft for an elevator or dumb waiter behind those bricked up windows.
