Sitting on the East Hill of Dansville, a red brick building stands, peering out among the trees onto the village below it. Only upon closer inspection does one realize that the building is sitting unused... and only upon looking deeper into it's vast history does one realize that the Castle on the Hill has sat unused for several decades.

Once a hotel that changed hands several times, now an abandonment that is being demolished to make way for a new development of condos. Because Oakville needs more condos.

Sitting in the heart of Hamilton is an old, boarded up Classic Renaissance building, attracting attention since it stands out from the surrounding architecture. Ask anyone from Hamilton about it and they know what your are talking about... Lister Block was at one time the center of the community for Hamilton.

An Edwardian-styled hotel, located in the heart of Downtown Hamilton and boasting a rich history, the Royal Connaught is unassuming to the passerby. Closed since 2004 and sitting abandoned and partially demolished, the building has fallen on very hard times.

It is not uncommon for upper-class hotels to have rooms dedicated to entertainment, parties, receptions, and convention hosting. In fact, most hotels in downtown Toronto have their own ballrooms for this purpose. But how many of them have ballrooms that have been sealed away since the 1950's?

If you look hard enough, you can find an abandonment of any style. Normally movie theaters get closed down and the buildings reused, but not always. Famous Players Parkway in eastern Richmond Hill (right on the boundary with Markham) is proof of that.

Out in Scarborough, along the edges of its magnificent bluffs, sits the abandoned remains of what was once a private residence and an inn; The Guild Inn. Now the area is a city park, with walking trails, art sculptures, and a great view of Lake Ontario for visitors. The Guild Inn itself, however, is very much off limits.

Long recognized on the Toronto airport strip, the Regal Constellation is one of the oldest hotels on the strip. It now sits in ruin, having been closed in 2003 after the crash in Toronto tourism concluding with the SARS crisis.
