Description

Site: Burnt down house and barn. This is probably THE best abandoned home photo opp in the province..

Location: Line 13 Oro-Medonte/ Lakeshore Road

Date Visited: May 2009 and April 2010

Details: I visited this farm last year and can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful and peaceful sites I've been to. I really don't know anything about it except that it has been in it's current condition for a long long time. The walls of the stone house still stand but everything else has been destroyed by fire. Someone cuts the grass around the house but otherwise it has been left alone. There are interesting items scattered on the ground around the buildings and some grape vines that have taken over the barn foundation. I would have taken more pics but my camera died. If anyone knows anything about this building, Id love to hear it.

**Accordingly below it has been cited as the Wrigley Farm..

Thanks for the location, it was fantastic. Visited today but arrived late and caught the low light. Still a blast, will probably return...

My family use to buy eggs and pies from the Wrigley's. They had a pond on the farm with fish that were released to the lake. The house was built of rocks from the lake or found on the property. They were very helpful when the neighbours had construction projects as they owned a front loader.
