I wonder how long this has been hidden away.

Lots wrong with this bathroom starting with that translucent toilet seat and lid.

Another 1960s switchplate cover in the main hallway of this abandoned house.

Cute dinosaur switch plate cover from probably the 1960s. What's weird is that it wasn't in a bedroom but was in the main hallway.

Looks like we’re growing a pickup on this lot.

Came across this little Long Distance Rate Wheel that Ma Bell put out in 1977. Using it like an old decoder ring, you would find the two cities that you are calling from and to on the back. That graph would give the user a letter. Take that letter and use the decoder wheel to line up with that letter. (In the photo H is being used.) Then that would show you at the opposite end of the wheel the long distance rates you would pay depending on the time of day you called.
Cell phones sure have eliminated this pain in the derriere.

An old Jeep Willys Overland truck. Not sure if it's abandoned but it sure could use a lot of love.

Decorative tile on a fireplace surround. Not from a fancy upper-crust house but from just a regular working class home. And from a time when people took the effort to add the little details that really make a difference.

The inside of a rather old electric panel, as you can probably tell from the image of the gent.

Basement walls shouldn't look like that.
