There are two abandoned houses right at the corner. One of them is very clean with no vandalism while the other is very rough with signs of vandalism and flooding.

The one that is very rough still has many belongings in it. It includes kitchenware, appliances, kid's toys, shoes, magazines and so on. There are many books and magazines with Chinese writing in it so I assume the owners were Chinese. Another interesting observation was that there were some deli freezers out in the backyard as well as other restaurant related things found in the garage. More tips include a "VISA" sign in the basement beside some accounting documents, pictures of meal sets and so on. Therefore, I strongly believe that this house once belong to a Chinese family who were restaurant owners. And, from the house, they seem to have done very well for themselves.

Some other oddities in the backyard includes propane tanks and several car bumpers ...

This is definitely worth checking out ... go quick as there are signs of construction near by. This so-called restaurant owner's house is in the field behind Markham-Stouffville Hospital and facing Highway 7.

NOVEMBER 2016 Lots of construction is going on around the house and barn, but there is a POE if you look closely at the surrounding fence. Very easy to access from the back, however many vandals have been here, the floors are beginning to warp and collapse, and there has been a lot of theft of items as compared to the other old gallery photos. Still a pretty cool location though, check it out if youre near - but be stealthy! P.S. I made it to the basement and ran up after hearing some chattering of animals in the room beside me.

I'd go, but I can't see a clear enough POE in #4 ha ha. Love the note left on the wall to the would-be vandals.
