There are over three hundred structures shown on this site with new ones added when possible.  Many of the photos are from different aspects and angles when possible, and some have interior shots if permission from the owner is possible.  Sometimes visitors to the site will send me photos.

     I consider an 'abandoned building' one that has not been inhabited or utilized for quite some time and is presently not in use when the photo is taken.  The photos presented here are for artistic purposes and your entertainment, as well as to chronicle urban decay for historical purposes.

     If you know of an abandoned building or structure not shown on these pages, or have a photograph; please send me an e-mail.  I have a large list of suggestions from you; the visitors to this site, that I have yet to photograph.  And I welcome more.

     You can send me any comments on any of the photos here via the comment buttons, and I will add the comments to the relevant photo (please let me know if the comment you send is not meant to be posted publicly).  We also have accounts on Facebook here, Myspace here, a few photos on Flickr here, video (hopefully more sometime) on YouTube here, and some photos on Deviantart.com here.  Add us as a friend!

     Most of the photos on these pages were shot by me (unless noted under the picture), using a Canon Powershot A570 IS with a Razor Optics HD Telephoto Lens.  Some other photos as well as some older ones were taken with a variety of other cameras and HD camcorders.

     Please note - no property is trespassed on for photos I have taken but I have no control over what others do to retrieve their photos.  I get permission if I do want to take any interior shots or angles I can't get from public property.  I hope to contribute a little to the idea of non-destructive Urban Exploration with these photographs.  Whether you call it Urban Exploration (UrbEx), Infiltration, Creeping, Urban Spelunking, Reality Hacking, Building Hacking, Urban Caving, Psychogeography, or whatever - I believe in passive observation, no damaging of property.  We are not held responsible or liable if you are injured, arrested, or fined if you investigate any of the locations on this website, many of these locations are dangerous if you were to enter them as they may collapse, or could contain hazardous materials of many types.  If you plan on physically going to the location to look at any of the buildings presented here then please follow all laws, don't trespass, don't take anything, don't cause damage nor leave graffiti.

     No responsibility is taken for the information nor accuracy of what is presented on these pages.  All photos here are copyrighted by me or by the person who sent me the photo, if applicable, and all rights are reserved and protected by the US copyright law.  You MUST ask permission before you use any of these photos, text, or any derivatives in any form whatsoever, which includes any reproductions, broadcasting, transmissions, distributions, or publishing in any form.

       It's best if you have JavaScript enabled to use this site, as the menus and a few other parts of the site use it.  There are duplicate menus on the bottom of each page for those with accessibility issues. 

     Click this link to see the newest buildings on the site, click here to begin perusing the first photo page, click here for the webmaster favorites, or click a link in the menu which appears near the top of each page.  Below each structure's thumbnail is it's approximate location, relevant information, and sometimes anecdotes (if you have anything to add to any picture please click the comment button).  Each thumbnail can be clicked on to view a larger and higher resolution photo.  Pressing your browser's BACK button will return you to the previous thumbnail page.  Also, near the bottom of each thumbnail page are links for jumping to any page number, or moving to the next or previous page.

     To search for a specific location there is a brief index of locations that can be found by clicking on the top menu (someday I plan on re-organizing all of the pictures into townships or something easier to peruse), or you may search the entire site for a location, category of buildings, or descriptions - use the SEARCH box below.  To search for a phrase use quotes; like this: "Rector Road".
