Little Harbor
Just a few treasures I found while poking around an abandoned house in Little Harbor…
Apparently the owner passed away so it was left to the community. There were plans to turn it into a heritage home, but as you can see, that’s not yet happened.
It was amazing to me what was just laying around this place… the ceiling was collapsing and the windows were beat out. Still, I saw books, china, family photos and (my favorite in the top right corner) a corset.
More from this community to come.

I’m very surprised you were able to just walk into someone else’s house. Were there any ‘no trespassing’ signs around? The property must still belong to distant family or even the town or state. Here, only vandals would dare to enter and probably steal or set fire. So sad to think someone’s home and belongings are left without care. Billerica, MA, USA
Well, so many houses around here are just abandoned and forgot about. The town owns the property and before entering I spoke with several local residents to get some history on the building. No signs were visible and if anything the people seemed glad that I took an interest. Vandals and looters are not a common thing in Newfoundland – it’s among the safest places on earth. For everything to be left untouched was not a huge surprise… just a pleasant one.
I love all these pics! They’re arranged well and the lighting is excellent. Great shots!
