The Carleton Villa, Carleton Island, New York. Unknown photographer.

The Carleton Villa was built in 1894 for typewriter magnate William Wyckoff as a summer residence and large spot for entertaining. Wycoff’s wife died of a heart attack a month before he moved in, and on his first night in the mansion he suffered a heart attack in his sleep and died. Wycoff’s youngest son inherited the villa after his father’s death, but within a few years the family lost much of their fortune in the Great Depression and the house fell into disrepair.

The villa was sold to General Electric, who planned to demolish it. Materials from the home were offered to anyone who would salvage them, so stained glass windows and whole sections of flooring were removed. Soon, World War II intervened and General Electric abandoned the property entirely. The villa, which is located on 7 acres with gorgeous river views, is currently listed for $495,000, but will require millions more to bring it back to its former glory

THIS ISN’T PARIS

And now I have your attention; abandoned/destitute district; Tianducheng, China

The development was built in 2007 but despite being built for 10,000, has just 20% of inhabitants left and streets are left empty.

(I was pretty psyched to find out about this as it’s not often I hear of new abandoned gems such as this.)

This beautiful castle, Gwrych Castle in Wales has a long and wonderful history. Bottom image is via; https://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/residential-sites/22644-gwrych-castle-victorian-folley-manor-house.html#.W9JVQHtKjDc which details a lot more detailed history of the owners.  This castle has a happy ending as it has been slowly restored (top photo) and taken on as a historical site.

The top photo is deceiving; the site is in massive disrepair and talks are still in process to decide whether to regenerate or demolish.
