Muffin Man's House Blossoming

Today Camellia and I visited Muffin Man's House and Leavens Awards. I have been photographing this old burnt down house for almost 2 years now; check out my other posts for the summer 2017 and winter 2017.

Still on the cusp of Spring.

Same shoes, from the summer.

The only real difference between this winter shot and the present day shot above are the buds.

Muffin Man's House Pt. 2

Today I headed back to a couple old locations with a friend. First we went to the Muffin Man's House, which burnt down some time before 2007 and has been falling apart ever since.

Comparison shot from the summer and with a lesser camera

It seems the family had children, most likely a girl or a girl and a boy based on what trash and debris is found around the place

Burnt Down House

This Attleboro house, dubbed "The Muffin Man's House" by local urban explorer Ryan Ademan (AKA PunkUE) due to the presence of burnt muffin pans, has been burnt down and steadily collapsing for at least a decade in this secluded part of town. The house is located just by some train tracks in a pretty rural area.

Update: Check out these newer and much higher-quality images of this location here

This tag here was the only piece of graffiti or otherwise intentional vandalism I found evidence of throughout the house. Also take not of the bowing ceiling. It probably won't be there anymore in a few years.

The second floor and roof, now cozy on the first floor.

The two chimneys. You can see where the roof used to be on the older chimney (on the right).

Washer and dryer.

I think this used to be part of the porch.

Stairs down from the porch into the side yard. I looked in the back for a shed or something similar, but the most I could find was a small trail through the woods nearby. There were also burnt tree remains in the back.

Whoever lived here had a young boy, it seems from some of the things we found.

Stairs to the second floor, which I imprudently ascended.

Retrospectively, I wish I had climbed a bit higher to get a better shot, but it's always good to avoid falling through a burnt and dilapidated floor.

A book near the basement. Most of the basement was intact, and it seems the fire started in the center of the house on the second floor.

Basement:

Picture of the boiler. Calypso getting in the shot, as usual.

Kitchen window. I know it was the kitchen because there was a fruit hanger just to the right of this window.

You can see there are more than a couple layers of wallpaper here. This might give us a clue as to when the house was built and when it burnt down.

The field in front of the house.

A dumpster in the front that was presumably used for clearing the debris in the house after it burned down, but clearly hasn't been touched in years

I couldn't find any information online or in historical records about who lived in this house, why it was so secluded, how and when it burnt down, or when it was built. If anyone has any insights to any of these things, please leave a comment.
