Abandoned Time Capsule Bed and Breakfast - Meaford, Ontario.

This is a location that I know you’re all going to love, similar to an abandoned time capsule house but instead it is an abandoned time capsule bed and breakfast. Located in Meaford Ontario, from the outside you would have no idea how charming it is inside.

Outside this looks like any other home along the row of older houses, but stepping inside you’re taken back to a whole other period in time and much like with our authentic abandoned time capsule houses, everything inside of this abandoned bed and breakfast is left just as it was on the day they closed the doors. A beautiful sitting room area with a gorgeous couch and photos on the walls. A dining room area with the table and chairs, a hutch with books, china and games. The kitchen fully stocked with food, canned goods, cereal, dishes and more.

Upstairs there are two levels, the 1st upstairs with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a computer and reading room and another sitting room, from the sitting room it is very easy to miss the “secret” door up to the third level. It’s almost as though this third level was never meant to be found as the door was well hidden and a table was placed in front of it. Squeezing through the hidden door and up a set of stairs you’re greeted by two beds, still made, an ensuite bathroom and other items from decades ago.

In the basement, there is alot of mold and black mold, the musty smell in the air is thick and hard to breath and cobwebs have taken over every open space making for a nasty experience. Many older items scattered about such as tools, toys, games, clothing and some military kit. Given the instability, the mold and the cobwebs I didn’t spend much time in the basement.

What makes this abandoned time capsule so interesting is the damage and decay that surrounds all of the contents in all of the rooms, paint peeling walls and ceilings, drywall from the ceilings dropped onto the counters, warped and buckling floors and that smell of abandoned and decay. All of this decay that is consuming the homes contents and design.

Ringwood Family Restaurant (The Greasy Spoon)

You might not want to miss the video, this location had so much to offer!

Once located at a busy intersection outside a small town, this restaurant stood for nearly 40 years.

This retro greasy spoon was built in 1986 and was designed to mimic the look of a 1950s diner. The pale pinks and the mint greens really helped to achieve this aesthetic.

It was a popular spot in its day due to its strategic location. On the weekends it was frequented by motorcyclists, they would descend upon the restaurant by the hundreds.

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, the restaurant eventually closed for good in 2007. It's rumoured that the owners won the lottery, they just locked the doors and walked away.

The restaurant was a time capsule from the 80s, the salt and pepper shakers sitting on the tables, the menus still there and the coffee pots waiting for a fresh brew.

Sadly, this de facto urban explorer museum left exactly the way it was when it closed almost two decades ago was demolished in 2024.

In the early 1950s, a teaching order of religious brothers built this boarding school where teenage boys trained to become brothers themselves. It ran for about four decades before closing in the early 1990s, and was sold to a private owner in 2002.

The brothers had their own cemetery on the grounds. In 2016, they exhumed more than fifty of their own and reburied each one, with his original headstone, in a public cemetery nearby. Since then the building has been left to the weather. Moss covers the floors, ferns grow from the chapel walls, and mushrooms are pushing through the doors and ceilings.

Out of respect for the place and the friends who shared it with me, I'm not naming the location. The full story and 90 photos are on my site:
