Muffin Man's House and Leavens

Recently I checked out these two spots (see other posts of these locations: 1, 2, 3, 4) with a friend who doesn't yet have a real alias for the blog so I'll just call him EggHead. It's been a little over a year since I first explored these spots, so it was cool to see how much they have (or have not) changed. As far as I can tell, Leavens is pretty stagnant, but the Muffin Man's House had the center of the first floor (including the remains of the staircase) completely cave in, along with various other deterioration. Here are the pictures, with some comparisons from last time I was there:


From February

Two rooms of the first floor on the bottom of the frame, second floor (collapsing) on the top


Winter comparison




The darkness you see below the floor is the basement


The floors are not sturdy here. Half the posts in the basement either gave out or are at an angle

This was the roof--see the fire damage

I didn't get any good shots of Leavens as I didn't bring in my camera, but EggHead took pictures of both locations (nice work EggHead!) photo credits to him:

The Bells Again

Apologies for the set; it was too cold to take a good picture. (First post on this location)

DeWolf Cemetery

This is a historic cemetery of a family that has been influential in Rhode Island since the 19th century. They principally benefited off of slave trade, especially James DeWolf, who is buried near the back in a tomb away from all the other gravestones.

Leavens Pt. 2

Continuing my adventures from the Muffin Man's House, my friend and I headed over to the nearby abandoned jewelry manufacturing building.
