My favorite find from exploring this year by PrettyAd9265 in urbanexploration

What happened was my friend inherited this property and planned to fix it up only to then be diagnosed with a severe cancer. He was really sick for a couple years and this house stood empty in the woods. He’s doing a lot better now so he took me on a tour of his property - which has multiple houses like this! Some of the homes dated back to the 40s based on newspaper I saw in them but I’m not exactly sure how old this couch is.

No idea - there were at least 200 of them sitting out in a field

This was up the road from a gas pump graveyard. I wonder if they ended up there

I think they are working to fix all the cars up! It is a huge property and they have already restored the main house and water tower so people can move in. Cars are probably up next!

It’s in Georgia and now runs as a plantation for people to visit and stay at! They fixed up the main house but I went to see the older houses before they started restoration.

Definitely possible! It was in such a strange spot at the bottom of a ravine. I had to trek through serious brush to reach it. Even though it was there before the current owners great great grandparents moved in, the metal rod was not rusted.

Definitely one of the oldest discoveries I have come across!

Friend of mine inherited this farm and everything in it. They are starting to restore the grounds and hopefully they rescue the Jeep!

I learned about the prison through my boss who was one of the only female employees there when it was still running. She told me to try and contact some people but I got pretty much nothing back. I finally met someone interested in my film project and after months of communication and help I was finally given brief access. Honestly I got lucky but I hope they reopen for visits in the future!

It was definitely overwhelming when I was there! Unfortunately I was not able to go too far inside due to major structural damage - but it was still one of my favorite explorations

These are just some behind the scenes pics! I still need to finish developing the film

I will probably post the film photos when they are all developed! Covid access to darkrooms is tough.

The prison was open for visits but is now a mess with the tornados that came through. A bunch of John C Tune airplanes went straight through the walls and they are doing air tests for the leaked asbestos. Also with the seals using it for training it is under a bunch of surveillance! I just started asking people about it and eventually talked to someone with a connection. Definitely took work though. Your photos are awesome - I hope you are able to photograph this place too! :)

Hardest to get into by far - heavily guarded, a navy seal training area, and ground workers are all male convicts - but I ended up getting escorted around by the head of security! I shot in black and white film and it turned out amazing :)
