Mysterious tragic house on highway 407

Highway 407, near an old base road, there was a house owned by a towing company, not a lot of info can be found on the owner’s name and history, but it’s been said that highway 407 runs through the middle of the property, they lost not only the farm but more property was lost as a result of its use by shell company for truck fuel station, causing the use of chemicals that caused the land to be unfit for farming They fought in court but the father died before it ended. The mother stayed in the home until 2007 and then moved to a retirement home.

Current conditions of the house

The basement is full of items ranging from old typewriters to collectible bottles depending on the time of the year. The basement could be muddy, filled with water and floating furniture, or even a thin layer of ice. The back of the house has an old well with its lid open and two barns that are in ruins and possibly not fit for repair; the top floor is fully dark and the staircase has holes and weak spots that you can collapse into the basement. Fields surrounding the house are covered in car parts and tractors/trucks. Lots of scrap metal around. You can still get in and see the land and house though. There is another house just across the field that has 2 stories. You have to walk across beams and watch for the rotted floor.

House is still there (Sept. 2017). Didn't have long pants or a proper light during my visit, so I didn't explore much of the grounds or inside the house. :(

I drove by this place today (As seen in the Ninth Line Gem gallery) and it has been demolished. The other house is still there (As seen in Ninth Line Decay)

so, after popping back a bit ago, i noticed something interesting. In the basement, if you enter though the back window and onto the table, then go left, (north) you'll see a wooden console. There is, or was, a radio chassis in there. I looked up pics and it seems to be from 1936. Very neat.

CAUTION: There was a fire (probably arson) on the property a few days ago. I would strongly advise against going near this place for a while.

No, both houses are on the same property, one is just a little further back & to the south. The other property that they had was Location #4068.

 •

I'm confused. "Gem on the Ninth Line" is clearly a different house. Is that the one referred to as the other property the original owners had?

@Zenit-User: I was here a few weeks ago and saw someone operating a bobcat on the property, moving stuff around. So I went back yesterday and no one was around.

Was there on the long weekend ... everything is boarded up. There was a POE but it was too dark inside anyway to shoot so I didn't go in.

 •

I don't think anything is stolen. The people that are doing this are boarding the place up as well. This tells me that they are the owners, otherwise why would they bother?

 •

Just came back from here, found the house boarded, and FOUR CARS STOLEN by presumably forklift, a construction forklift. This leads me to believe 1 of two things: Either the people that go there are restoration crews, scrappers, or missisauga environmental cleanup (which i highly doubt) But in addition to this, they stole a gas tank that i flipped over, full of fuel, and also a large pipe.

Oh! - In addition, I think this farm may have had chickens at one point. This is evidenced by the seed/grain and the bucket in it, it's a small feed shack, or so it appears, and some of these other sheds appear to have been chicken huts.

Okay, so looking from google maps' street view, and a bit of search-typing, I've found out that the exact address of this location is: 7248 Ninth Line, Mississauga, ON, Canada And it is indeed sad what happened, i would have never guessed it had such a tragic ending.

Don't worry too much about the houses being boarded up, the wooden boarding is frequently broken by the neighbourhood kiddies. The property with the cars has people working in it sometimes, so it gets repaired often, but the other house is owned by the city, and I suspect it was only boarded up because of hurricane Sandy, so they probably won't repair the already broken boarding on it.

Both houses boarded up. it was night time and muddy so i didn't venture too far to see what was left of the cars. but the Civics still there, in worse condition....

my link didn't work? ugh...I'm not having the best of luck lol!! and the shell station is on the other side of the 407 a few roads over. They owned two completely separate pieces of land ;) The son is probably still contactable but I didn't bother to look or anything. And no worries Riddim, I would much rather be questioned then have it be wrong :D

Okay..fair enough! I didn't live there when it was being used as for cattle farming! From 1990 on there wasn't any of that! What about the Shell truck station? Where exactly is that???
