Exploring an Abandoned Dream Mansion - Ontario Canada

I have been to this location 3 times, once in May of 2013 and not a access point could be found, again in April of 2014 and I was very lucky to find an open door. I made a choice to return in June of 2014 just to see how things changed. This video is a combination of 2 visits. You can see the changes that happened in the short time between visits.

Such a huge house, with features I have not seen in any regular house. A dance studio, grand staircase and my favorite was the elevator. It appears the house either had some salvaging done or looters took advantage of the imminent demise of this house. And I guess as long as it doesn't end in the trash, I don’t care either way. The property and landscape were clearly cared for and judging by the size of the garage on the back part of the property, I am going to guess they had an bad ass RV. Sadly not a lot of artifacts around for insight into who they people were who owner this places, but judging by all the affluence of this house..they had lots of $$$

Oddly I could not find a lot of info on the owners of this house, but what is very obvious is that it was in the way of “progress”. This house, at some point was someones dream home, and it wasn't that long ago. During the explores you can hear the tractors all around while I walk the outside of the house As of last week, it has been demolished.

So I have learned that there are MANY conspiracy theorists who like to come up with many reasons why this house is being reno'd and not being demolished. HEre are links to several sites confirming the demo and government ownership. The house is gone, will never stand again. It is now a section of the 407 ETR Toll Highway that crosses the top of Durham Region.

BID FOR TENDER - (Who will demo the house all legal like)

Viewer donbeckham posted this added info for your pleasure...

The property is at 6225 Coronation Rd and was owned by Salah Abdelati. It was approximately 4.8 hectares. The Ministry of Transportation initially expropriated approximately 1 hectare of the 4.8 for works associated with the eastern expansion of Highway 407. The parties agreed subsequently that a full buyout was appropriate and they entered into a property purchase agreement pursuant to s. 30 of the Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E. 26 Abdelati subsequently commenced a claim seeking compensation for market value of the subject lands, among other matters, and equivalent reinstatement. Equivalent reinstatement means equivalent accommodation. Section 15 of the Act, which deals with equivalent accommodation states:

Upon application therefor, the Board shall, by order, after fixing the market value of lands used for residential purposes of the owner under subsection 14(1), award such additional amount of compensation as, in the opinion of the Board, is necessary to enable the owner to relocate his or her residence in accommodation that is at least equivalent to the accommodation expropriated. R.S.O. 1990, c.E.26, s.15.

That's going to be one hell of a house they have to put him in until he can find another "Dream Home".

Please end this argument.
