- *NOW DEMOLISHED*
Join me on a video exploration from the Fall of 2014 of this abandoned house and large nursery business. Seems to have been abandoned in the summer of 2013 after being bought out by a developer,, and I was happy I was able to explore and document this now that it is gone forever. They demolished it shortly after, so I got there just in time. Enjoy! :)

My heart rips each time an old house gets demolished.
You do great work! Slow, careful camera work, along with thoughtful comments. Also, you have a great voice. Thank you for sharing your explorations with us.
To answer the question at 12:56, yes that is a heat lamp. It's a light source that also emits heat, which is quite nice on a chilly day after a shower. They were quite common in housing built back in the 1970's. In fact, I have one in my home and I LOVE it.
I had to laugh at your "You can tell it's Canada" at the Tim Horton's donut box when right before that there was a sign on the door that was ripped and only the "Please" was left behind. HA! I love being Canadian
The wallpapers and window treatments were sure done by someone with a good eye. Love this house and when the nursery was operating it must've really been comfortable. Thanks for including me in your adventures. You never fail to fascinate.
Love your videos. I like that you narrate them and walk slowly taking the time to focus on everything, not rushing from room to room spinning the camera around making it too dizzying to watch. You do an excellent job. I have found no other video maker of abandoned places that does such a great job.
Thank you so much!!
This is so sad a perfectly good house being destroyed for urban sprawl. I bet 40 years ago when that house was built that street wasn't that busy but with the urban sprawl more people moving in created the traffic. I would also bet that was out in the country when it was built with all the land it sits on. All the rust makes me wonder if the house wasn't on a well my sister lived out in the boonies here a few years back and was on a well system because of the rich iron in the water it turned sinks, toilets, and dishwasher a rusty brown
The house and nursery must have been beautiful in it's day. Another great video.
Indoor pool. Love it. That turntable system was too cool. I'm a sucker for vintage electronics.
I always enjoy your explorations with the accompanied narrations you provide throughout. The narrations provide us viewers a lot more depth of the experience you're having while filming. Keep up the great work.
Great Video as always Tiki! I am telling you guys. She is thee best urban explorer out there on UA-cam. Better than me! :) Filming is really good and is a great narrator! If you have not joined her channel, do so b/c you will not be disappointed! By the way that timer device i believe is a timer to turn on the water for the Nursery
Wow, thank so much for the kind words, Steve! But I do have to say, you're pretty damn good yourself, especially with your beautiful high quality camera gear, lighting and stabilization, and also a great narrator and explorer. You guys should head on over to Steve's page and subscribe. You won't be disappointed for sure! He even just got a new high-tech drone for aerial footage. :)
*****
Alright already,,,You and Steve are both Awesome!!!!!!
***** I love both your videos, great channels but Pam is my favourite. Something so soothing about her voice!
***** Plus she is a beautiful lady , I wish she would start every video by showing her face and telling us a little about the property !!!
I appreciate all of your lovely compliments as always. Sometimes life gets in the way. Thanks everyone!
So sad. You can tell it was a lovely home for a nice family. Your videos are always so well done.
A great find, that house was surely gorgeous in it's day, those beautiful fireplaces and that pool - thanks for taking us along!
I totally agree. Thanks for joining me!
Built in the late 70s safety glass wasnt used in the patio doors as u can see, just regular plate glass which is dangerous today where they use tempered glass
i keep thinking about the people who had lived there, must have been their dream home- wonder what went wrong.
cinna mon it's being demolished for subdivision
Your very good at this I like how you try to give some history on the houses. Also like how you speak through your videos to give us some insight. You my favorite no one else compares : )
There are signs that a railing did exist on the master bedroom patio at one time but was removed already evidence of posts on the floor of the patio which would have supported the railing. From the looks of the carpet padding left behind the carpeting was relatively new.
Absolutely love this house and property!!! Total shame it will torn down.
Always enjoy your videos and commentary!!! Keep up the great work and be safe!!!
HI TikiTrex another great video, just writing to say thank you mainly coz you've got me into looking at abandoned places and how scarey they can be
Great tour that's a very nice home with the pool in the backyard.
Thanks, Daniel. I agree -- nice setup all around.
Another awesome find but what a pain the vandals can be smashing to force entry and then leaving their mark . ! I'm at a loss too as to why they want to demolish anything so lovely.Terrific narrative too ...Thanks so much for sharing with us ..
Thank you!
Thanks for the vid Pam, I really enjoy all of your work.
I really like listening to your calm little voice and narrative.
You're most welcome, Mark! Thanks for the nice comment and am glad you enjoy my work. :)
I enjoyed this, good to see another exploration from you TikiTrex....hope you have some more for us soon!
I'm glad you enjoyed this! :)
Curiosity drives me crazy, and having gotten back into vinyl again recently, it makes me wonder if that turntable still works, or not :) I love your vid's BTW, your voice reminds me of a co-workers that I liked, but we're in Minnesota :)
very stable and slow camera which is i really love, so i can understand what you're saying and watch the house very datail...thanks for the tour , tiki...love from indonesia😍
I love your videos tiki! They have a very asmr quality to them.
I hope you salvaged the bird light switch cover. Very vintage! :) I would like to think you get a souvenir from each place. Great video.
Yay! I have missed your videos! That basement is super creepy looking since it is flooded.
I know that is what I was thinking!!!! :X 😳
It's a crying shame that such a beautiful house fell into such dissarray. That pool alone made me want the house.
Such a beautiful home that is being destroyed! I enjoy your videos and hope to see more on the way! Be safe when your in these places!
Sure loved the style of that house. Think it might have been custom made and I could see too that it had been well cared for. What a shame it's to be torn down for ticky tacky boxes they today call homes. Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing!!
Ok, that just sickens me that the government would flatten such nice houses to put in "cookie cutter" low budget urban development and the houses will be so crammrd togetheer that you look out your window and into the neighbors window... No privacy... Such a "sin" indeed...
My mom had the same console record player/radio. Ah...the memories. Thanks so much for sharing this video.
Beautiful house.
Nice floor plan.
So sad to see these houses demolished.
So sad.. I can only imagine the family dinners and childhood memories all created there. I see a lot of my own home in this house. Do you know if it's torn down yet?
LandonGendur Not sure yet as I haven't been by it since, but if I find out, I will update the status. :)
Wow, such a nice home, very sad its gonna be torn down..Another great job Tiki..Happy New Year to ya..Stay Safe..
When I was a kid 25 years ago there was an abandoned house next to an old cemetery in my area in Wales. UK and we would all try to be brave and enter the property but we all never did (to scared),it was exactly the same as some of the vandalised houses you've videod..love your vids keep up the good work..
What a lovely house - much bigger than it seemed from the outside. It's always a shame to see something like that having to be torn down.
your videos are great i love to watch them before i go to sleep.
Really Cool House Tiki. Awesome Footage !
really unique layout of the house. it was in pretty good shape.
We finally get a small glimpse of our brave explorer in this episode! Shame this very nice two family house has to be smashed to the ground only to have those dull cookie-cutter style homes put up, I wonder why it all had to be abandoned.
Keep up the nice work and stay safe, Pam!
I really appreciate the respect you give these homes and have a passion for the history and documenting it. Wonderful channel.
Thank you.
Thanks for the tour of this homestead and business very enjoyable to watch from the comfort of my warm living room.
Always a pleasure, Eric!
I will bet that house was built in the early 70's. Everything looks almost identical to my parents house when they had it built. The wallpaper, light switch plates, over head lights, & fire place. That light in the bath is a type of heater light. We had one in our bath room. Looks like this was a nice house. Thanks Tiki
Thank you for exploring this place.
As always, loved your video. Looks as if this was a really beautiful home at one time. All I can think of are the family holidays, birthdays, friends coming over, and homework sessions at the kitchen table, kind of makes you sad.
Beautiful Purple light straight in the middle in the beginning Love this still ❤❤
Great Job! That was a really nice house and the yard was outstanding! The nursery looked to be a large operation when in business Outstanding Job as always. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Jason!
A lovely home. Beautiful cornice. Clean & neat.
Thanks so much for all of your videos. They help me get out of my own head when I need it the most. Thanks again.
Hey, no problem! Glad they help!
I have a feeling that house was much loved. I agree, it's a cute house. So sad it died. Thanks for sharing!! And what a pink room!! That had to be one heck of a husband, if there was one, to have such a pink room.
He was secure af in his masculinity!
I am also new to your channel but I'm loving your videos! I'm always waiting for someone to show up and ask you what you're doing like the cops. I will be a long time subscriber !
Carmine Thomas Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you tiki, I liked this one the place felt like it was loved at one point. To bad they are taking it down.
Great video, always enjoy them.
my parents used have one of those phonograph sterios.
Great memories.
the young maple tree is so pretty
These videos are amazing! You are my favorite youtuber by far! Always make these vids plz!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Hi Pam, thank you for another fascinating and well presented video. The first upstairs bathroom you entered 12:25 particularly caught my eye for the wall tiles. I was surprised to see them as I'm from England and my parents had the same tiles in their bathroom here in the late 70s, early 80s. The distinctive design is burned into my brain from when my father tiled several rows one evening then realised the next day that they had a specific pattern instead of being random. Not sure how he missed that. He was a bit miffed (understatement) and the house was filled with some choice words lol. Small world eh?
Love your work. Keep them coming! Steve
It sure is, Steve! Imagine that! What a coincidence. I can imagine how miffed your father would be after all that work and then having to redo them. Thanks for the comment! :)
Your still my favorite! Thanks for all the interesting things you show us! :-)
Thanks, Gary! :)
I just love the work you do, thank you and keep them coming!
+Susan Johnson Thanks, Susan! Glad you like it!
Wish this house was around me
although there is little to none personal effects, this one made me sad. Not sure as to why but just sad. Thanks for the video! Love them all!
Thanks Pam (I just know Pam from other comments on other videos). Another fine job!!! I discovered you about two months ago and have binge watched everything! My favorite is the "cat lady house". You have such a nice steady hand. In the cat lady video I wish you had got to the house before those two guys that can't hold a video camera. Thank you again and have a wonderful safe New Year!
Thank you so much, Nancy! Happy New Year to you as well.
For the life of me i can't understand why people want to live in a cookie-cutter house 15ft away from the neighbors. I hope in every circumstance the developer had to pay a steep price for the right to demolish these much better houses.
They don't .
Very neat place! i loved that house. id say 60's or 70's. it seems most of what was left there was original to when the house was built. the Garden center was very neat. as well.
Great video! Sure have missed you! Hope your new year is a happy one.
Thanks, Kathy! I hope your new year is a happy one as well.
Another great tour, thank you Tiki. Lots of changes, construction, going on in your neck of the woods. I do my exploring via Google Maps of mostly places where I have lived. So many changes in most of them that I do not recognize the places at all now. This was a nice house. Keep up the great work and take care Tiki.
Jim
Thanks, Jim. I find Google Maps quite helpful myself and have used it even just to locate abandoned houses. But definitely also interesting to see what has become of your childhood homes for sure. Take care!
I think the plastic on the floor was a vapor barrier that would have been under hardwood. They may have salvaged the wood.
Excellent vid Pam. ya it's too bad such a nice house is going to be demolished to make room for more urban sprawl. That house is still in very good shape Very nice fixtures and valances
Lovely video, such a same to have such a lovely home pool and gorgeous yard all torn down to build new. It just seems insane to tear down good housing. But if you can squeeze in more , all the better I guess. Thanks for sharing.
Indoor Pool,,LOL. Nice find. As always, great job on the video,the 3 people that gave it thumb down don't know a good video when they see one! Keep up the good work,although it is probably more fun than work.And,,,,I love birds too.
Another great video! Beautiful house! Some of it looks like my house which was built in 1964. We have updated but a lot of similarities from what it use to look like. Pool and all. Lol. Obviously a thriving business. My take on it the parents had the business, kids help run it, dad passed away first, mom recently passed away. Business already going down or kids didn't want it, so sold to developers or developers offered good deal. Just what my imagination is running with. Lol. Great work again! Love your voice!
This reminds me of the house my parents bought in the now trashed by greed city of Naperville, Ill. That paneling was in style in the 60's and 70's. My parents added an amazing fireplace.. As the US middle class is destroyed, middle class homes like this are being torn down, by awful mega homes. We recently road down a bike path in the summer. We noticed that no kids were out playing.. In the once great USA, both parents were at work, and their kids were in day care. What a waste.
Nice video, what a waste of a very nice house. Interesting 24 hour time switch. Keep up the great video's.
The flooded stairway in the garage made me think of a scene from the movie "The Last Voyage" as the S.S. Claridon was going under and Robert Stack and the others were climbing up from a lower deck! In The Tightwad Gazette newsletter someone once wrote about contacting the owner of an abandoned house and getting permission to remove plants from around the house and maybe even the stones used for a walkway. I wonder if anyone did something like that at this house and nursery. Glad to see the salvaging and I hope there was even more.
I have the DREAM job of any urbexer. I work for a large out of state real estate investor who buys houses in bulk. I then LEGALLY break into these locked up houses for the investor owner to check the condition, etc. I just went into a fully furnished, UNTOUCHED house that has been vacant and unopened for at least 8-10 years. It was incredible. The house is loaded with antiques and just lots of cool stuff! I should start making videos. This is the second house like this I legally broke into in the past month. Have to be careful of course; rotting floors, wild animals, squatters, never know what you'll find. I love it!
Hiya tikitrex I love watchin your vids just letting u know i'm from ENGLAND I think your brave in what you do keep up the great work & stay safe xx :-)
Hi Paul! From England! Awesome! I'm glad you love watching my videos and appreciate your nice comment. Cheers from Canada! :)
Thanks for the video! Loved it!😍
Awesome!
Great videos Tiki or Pam I see both name being used. I really like your videos and the way you narrates compared to some of the other yahoos doing videos.
Nice house but it looks like it has a water problem. Thanks for sharing....you always have good videos and you present them all very well.
Nice find and great job Pam! If you look close at deck off upstairs you can see rust spots around edge where a railing has been removed. I believe it was used and stood on, even the part with just shingles. My Brothers old house in the UP of Michigan had a larger deck over lower entryway with a tar/asphalt "floor" which was roof.
PS that is a heat lamp in the one bathroom (they are common in hotels down here not so much in houses.
I enjoy your videos so much, Your calm voice is nice to listen to and you don't huff and puff and wheeze into the mic. Some guys do this and it's gross.
I'm glad you enjoy them, Donna. Thank you!
The light in the ceiling is an ultraviolet bulb and yes they really work well........TKS MUCH!
Hi Pam. Thanks for another interesting video. I enjoyed it very much.. Cheers from Ole, Denmark.
Hi Ole! Glad to know you enjoyed it. It's always a pleasure. Cheers from Canada.
Oh man, this house brings back memories of my grandmas old house, she passed away in her living room one evening about a year ago, but that house still definitely isn't it, since she didn't live in Canada, still looks like her house though
This video is amazing :)) i really loved it. i saw this channel looking for cat houses and then that cat lady house popped up and i watched it. It was amazing btw. Uhm, would it be okay if you showed us your face in a video or something because i feel quite strange watching these facinating videos not knowing/seeing the one making them/taping them. These videos really make me want to explore abandoned houses myself but all around me are just buildings. + i'm terrified of basically everything haha. You're really brave and kind to make these videos and upload them for others to see.
tiki, your the best explorer on youtube, people say your crazy for what you do, just imagine one day you do an explore and you never come home, god forbid but hear me out... we wanna see you do an explore of your house as if your exploring a house you have never seen, and tell us what you think of the person that dwelled there!
I'm a new subscriber to your videos and I LOVE them! You explore just as I would IF I was brave enough. I like how you open cupboard doors and drawers, and your narration is great. There are a lot of abandoned houses in the area where I live, and at least 2 of them were also businesses. If you ever vacation to northern Ohio (we have Cedar Point!), let me know and I'll show you all the abandoned places I know of.
And I'm not afraid of spiders anymore. LOL!
Thanks for subscribing as well as your awesome comment. I know Cedar Point quite well and spent a lot of time there throughout my life. I explored a couple places when I took my granddaughter there last summer that were along the way. I wish my fear of spiders would diminish! lol
thanks for sharing this
wish I had this house
Boy, that was a very nice house for it's age. I'm enjoying your videos by the way; Nice slow camera panning, and your voice has an interestingly soothing quality to it...
Thanks so much, Martin. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
- and memories fade as time goes on.
Hi Pam, once again enjoyed your video. Maybe structural issues are why a lot of these houses get demolished, I'm not a builder so I'm only guessing. Also you be extra careful out there.
Thanks for another great video. The house was one of the most beautiful you have ever explored. I agree heartily: It is an awful shame that such a house should be demolished. I'll bet that developer had to pay the owners lots of money to get them to move. Another great thing about this video: I got to see you, if only in the mirror. The camera was blocking your face, though. Please keep exploring; these videos are great.
Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos & narration ! Is this in a Canadian province ? Was once quite a nice place, thanks again Tiki ...
Gina Diefenbach Thanks, Gina. Yes, this one is in Ontario,
The piece of carpet in the kitchen with the wiring and plumbing was where the dishwasher would have been. The carpet helps insulate the sound of the pump from going through the floor.
What a nice house! Shame to hear that soon it'll be no more. Thanks as always for sharing Pam! I wonder how the basement became so flooded, severe weather perhaps? Time to get out the kayak! Lol, when I read the title I thought it was a nursery for children not for plants! Haha :)
Always a pleasure, Alan! Yes, I can see how it could mistaken it for that, haha! Someone mentioned maybe the pool pump failed and was leaking pool water into the basement. Just a thought. Take care, and thanks as always. :)
Its interesting to see family businesses being explored as well. The flooded basement is just creepy!
Judging by the signs of elderly people living there and the dates usually being 2009 - I'm just guessing that the business closed/retired 2009, and the family left around 2013 perhaps?
Very interesting object. Thanks for this tour.
My pleasure.
thanks Tiki, good job
@5:10, they usually call these "Console Stereos" (or "Console Hi-Fis" in the case of monaural units). All in one Radio-Phono units with self contained speakers. The vacant space looked too shallow for LPs (on end), it was probably for an open reel tape recorder. Some of these units even had TVs (apparently not this one). We had a couple of second hand ones when I was growing up (one with a B&W TV the other without).
