Let's step back to a simpler time. The year is 1804, a man named john moves to Canada from Pennsylvania. John and his family become historically important in this small area of Ontario for being the founders of their Pennsylvanian German Mennonite community. John is a successful farmer and helps his community by providing land on his property for a church, a school, and a cemetery to be built.
In 1853 Johns's home was finished being built and replaced the earlier frame style home on the property. To this day, the house is an outstanding example of a traditional Mennonite farmhouse and has remained mostly original to this day inside and out. It features a summer kitchen, a woodshed, and a doddy house, an area of the home where the older generation family members would live while the younger generation took over the farming operations. A line of direct descendants of the family continued living in the home consistently for over 150 years.
In the 1970s the government started expropriating land in the area with this home being part of it. The property was rented out by the province until about 2010, since then, it has sat vacant.
In 2015 a demolition permit was requested for the home but ultimately denied due to the property's historical significants. While this has saved it, for the time being, demolition by neglect is a serious realistic issue. The home has started to fall into disrepair as many other government properties do. Only time will tell what ends up happening to this stunning place.

The stone foundation was amazing. I'm surprised you skipped right past that.
The Amish and Mennonites do live in huge houses, their religion believes in taking care of their elderly parents and have a separate part of the house for them.
I'm surprised the roof isn't green or blue. I live in a small Ontario town that is highly populated by Mennonites. The roofs are always green (which means money) or blue (I forget what blue means lol) In my area, the Mennonites are buying a lot of the properties with old houses on them ( for the land) and leaving any houses on the property to rot (which gives me some cool abandoned house finds!) There must be at least 8-10 houses (probably more) within a 20 min drive of my house off the top of my head. You guys (meaning all you Ontario UA-cam urbexers) need to come to my area in Grey County. I could show you where all these places are :)
Hello I watched all your vidéos it's always a pleasure every time I love it continue like this we love 👍👍👍❤️🌞😺😺😺
Am I following this story right: the same family owned the house for 150 years until the government took the land and the house?
Edit: If so, how is that legal? It’s not like they need the land to build a new highway or something. The house would’ve been in better hands with previous owners.
maybe they didn’t pay their taxes? very sad
The GOVERNMENT Has been LYING AND STEELING LAND For Years , Of The NATIVE PEOPLE 🤬🇨🇦🤬
Demolition by Neglect is definitely something that a lot of regular people don't know about, until they see it happening.
But if you are a Developer or a Government entity, like a Town, you know about it and you use it to your advantage.
Which is unfortunate and in itself, should be a criminal act.
They must have wanted to preserve it somewhat judging by the new roof.
Big Ole farmhouse. Thanks, Noah
Hey Noah. Really nice house here. I love it. It's beautiful. Let's hope it stays on the historical list. You stay safe out there.
The hidden stairs remind me of Anne Frank House. 👍
This is an Amazing Explore Noah! Thank you for bringing us along! You're So Discriptive
Love these older house tours, this one appears to have been built in three different parts.
Thanks for the tour Noah, good one!
👍👍👍👍
So sad these places are forgotten. Awesome your recording it. Great explore! 🥰🥰🥰
Someone or some organization needs to buy that house from the developer and restore it. It looks like there haven't been any leaks and no mold. It is a good solid house that's screaming out for help.
Incredible find
I find the lock hasps on the bedroom doorways pretty disturbing. Who were they padlocking in the bedrooms?
Great explore as always! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
This house is worth saving and making into active working farm once more. The second floor bedroom with a small room connected to it. Might have been used as a sewing room. You also had window in it. Down in the basement where is a niche. At one time could be used as coal chute.
What a beautiful old farm house 🏠. I love ❤ this. I hope that they don't tear it down. Thanks again for the explore. Take care 👍 😊 😀 🙂 💕 💜
Cool house. It definitely seemed like a maze. Made by a Mennonite, it was definitely made well.
Iam your newest subscriber great videos do they leave those houses unlocked ?
Another beautiful house time has taken over. Thank you for taking us to these places. Love your channel. Stay safe in your travels.
Loved it , thanks Noah 😊
Good one.
I like the large room and wallpapers The property is very nice too,hope they dont get to rest it down👍❤️🇺🇸
Great exploration
Great explore would’ve loved to see more of the grounds too
Love old stone foundation basements!!!
The First Room Kinda looks like a shop or like a food shop!
Who ever lived it after the real family members left the renter did the wall paper
oh yeahh
It's a beauty. Needs a lot of work inside.
that house would have been nice to live in
That house has been remodeled some. The counter was covering the window in the kitchen lol I’m going to guess that was not the way it was set up originally.
Awesome house thanks
Intriguing. The wallpaper isn’t generally a Mennonite thing so maybe most of that since the 70s. But if the govt was renting wouldn’t think renters would do that. We have Mennonites in our community and they can vary in their practices from sect to sect. I do know their country store in our area has terrific deli and baking goods. They also provide private meat packing services. Very interesting video. Great intro section. Thanks for sharing.
Out of curiosity is that store near mount forest? Sounds like the one I go to 🙂
Amazing old house. Makes me so sad to see them fall into disrepair, destined for demolition. ☹️
It’s a crime of epic proportions when governments overstep their position by taking peoples land, just because they want too. It’s very disturbing to see this 😣 this is not your average abandoned house, this was stolen! And now neglected. 🤬 By rights the family should be able to have it returned, with back damages for what they did to the family heritage…what an amazing estate! Great explore!
What a weird house
Does anyone know why the Provence had the land and house expropriated?
Is there more to the story behind the expropriation? How well did the Mennonites take it, having to give up their home and property?
It just seems so odd to to me that after acquisition of the property nothing was done with it. Also odd is that it is recognised a significant enough to not demolish but yet not significant enough to do anything with it.
Nice find
Yeah that place is awesome 😎💕 looks like it may be there for a long time even that ol foundation was in excellent shape
love that farm house.
Canada needs to start preserving homes like these. Greedy developers go elsewhere. Preserve Canada's homes and history.
Love Yr Videos🧡🥰🧡
Why I’m I waiting for virgin to let me see what you have lol
What?
Love these videos. Can you please let us know where in Ontario they are?
I'm thinking that some of that wallpaper might be a little flashy for the Mennonite community. I grew up around the Amish, who are VERY plain. The Mennonites drove cars and were less strict, but I'm not sure if they decorated with such loud wallpaper! 🤣
Interesting.....
So sad😢
👋hi ✌️♥️🤗
Yes maybe Amish or Menanite
Didn't like 1 thing about this house..🤮 but it sure could tell many stories..
Shame the gov't doesn't renovate back to the original way it was built. They could collaborate with the Mennonite community for advice. It would earn money from being a tourist attraction to pay the reno cost back. Nice find and enjoyable to watch. 🦘🥴🙂
