Plans to expand the existing structure into a mansion resembling a fairy tale Castle he imported a lot of the materials from Europe including the Italian marble that he used for building the floors fireplaces and staircases the castle grew to include 30 rooms but dundis died in 1921 before it was
Finished being built his wife Josephine had a history of mental illness and struggled to cope with her husband’s death she ended up in a sanatorium a year after Ralph passed away the couple’s daughter Muriel inherited the homestead but she never lived there after getting married in 1930 she moved
To England soon enough Muriel began showing signs of mental instability as well and was committed to a sanatorium just like her mother had been meanwhile the castle remained empty and neglected in 1949 Muriel sold the property to an African-American chapter of the Freemasons for $47,000 the fraternity originally
Planned to use the castle as a home for the elderly and Indigent but the plan failed to pan out instead they turned it into a resort and recreational center as well as a summer camp for inner city youth the site still partially functions as a camp but the castle was abandoned

Better workers he believed and in turn it made the company look good in 1928 Ford saw an opportunity to bring this vision of a Utopian workers’s community to life at the time the price of Sri Lankan rubber was skyrocketing leading him to search for a new source for the
Raw material if the Ford Motor Company could produce its own rubber for tires it would cut cost costs considerably the settlement known as Ford landia would be in the Amazon jungle in Northern Brazil which seemed like an ideal place for growing rubber trees located along the tapos river the property was raised and
Would naturally prevent flooding construction materials could only be transported to the site during the rainy season but workers managed to build homes hospitals schools a cafe a dance hall a golf course a sawmill and more the complications only continued from there numerous efforts to grow rubber trees failed even even after experts
Were called in to help in the meantime the sense of community at fordlandia wasn’t anywhere near as idealic as Ford had envisioned American workers were housed in a separate nicer part of fordlandia while Brazilian workers were put in an area that lacked a nice view and had no running water skilled
Employees were also given better accommodations than entry-level workers these divisions led to tensions among the workforce things reached a boiling point in 1930 when a fight broke out between a brick mason and his supervisor workers rallied behind the Mason and began vandalizing and destroying the city managers escaped by ship and had to
Return with the military to suppress the riot despite all this fordlandia remained in operation until Ford died in 1947 his grandson Henry Ford II inherited the company his first order of business was to cut costs and he sold Ford landia back to the Brazilian government for just $250,000 after his grandfather invested
More than $20 million in the property in the following years the population dropped to around 100 but fordlandia is seeing a Revival and now has around 3,000 residents who have started to reoccupy the rusting derelict buildings have you heard of this place before let us know in the comments below and if

Every now and then old train cars are parked somewhere seemingly random and simply left to rot in 2019 obscure Vermont blogger Chad Abramovich trudged through waste deep snow to explore some abandoned train cars deep in the woods of New Hampshire’s White Mountains about A4 mile into his track he spotted three

Quarry that feels worlds away it’s home to an abandoned Boeing 737 passenger jet that looks like it was just randomly plopped down onto the property one day the site is located along a busy highway making it a popular stop for Curious tourists but anyone who goes there
Looking for answers about how or why the plane ended up there is bound to be disappointed no one seems to know the story behind the aircraft’s presence and if anyone does are staying quiet about it according to local rumors there were plans to turn the plane into a
Restaurant when the owner ran out of money but these claims are unverified and perhaps the uncertainty surrounding the aircraft is precisely what keeps a steady stream of visitors coming to check things out for themselves either way the owner of the private property is happy to profit from the attraction

The $600,000 settlement number one Jaguar xj220 manufactured between 1992 and 1994 the incredibly rare xj220 was one of Jaguar’s most unexpectedly successful models during that time it was the fastest production car ever built topping out at 22.3 mph at the Nardo test track in Italy a group of Jaguar employees designed the xj220
During their spare time as part of their shared vision for a modern version of the company’s racing cars of the 1950s and 60s the demand for high performance cars dropped during its production years due to the onset of the early ’90s recession and only 275 were ever made
Given its Rarity and the fact that it’s valued at over half a million dollars it’s easy to assume that anyone who owns an xj220 would take really good care of it but this isn’t the case as crank and pistons Mike Bramley learned when he discovered a black xj220 in the Qatari

Four Sultan SE Resorts and beaches the salt and sea is a saline Lake in Southern California that has dried up and reappeared several times measuring 35 by 15 Mi the current body of water was formed in 1905 when flooding from the Colorado River broke through a canal
Gate by the time repairs were made 2 years later the sultan Basin was filled with water for the first time since the 16th century it became a popular holiday destination during the the 1950s and 60s hotels Resorts and vacation homes popped up along the lakes’s eastern and western
Shores but business owners and visitors were blissfully unaware that the sultan sea was not there to stay it exists as part of a cycle that repeats every 400 to 500 years and will eventually disappear this starts to happen when the se’s fresh waterer Source runs dry there’s also no drainage Outlet these
Conditions increase the water saline levels and cause it to evaporate the first signs of trouble in the saltan sea appeared during the 1970s when pollution from agricultural runoff killed entire animal populations spread diseases and made the salty environment even less hospitable to wildlife in the meantime Farmers began to use water more
Efficiently leading to less runoff into the lake increasing amounts of hazardous dust got blown into the air as more of the seabed became exposed no vacationer wants to breathe toxic air hang out on a beach where hundreds of dead fish routinely wash ashore or swim in heavily polluted water that smells like rotten
Eggs tourists stopped coming to the salt and sea residents moved away and the once bustling neighborhoods and Resorts became like ghost towns many of these summery pastel colored buildings are still here today acting as a sad reminder of the Region’s bygone Glory Days weathered Resort signs broken down
Vintage cars deserted campers and boats and empty graffiti covered swimming pools that once sat just feet from the water stand helplessly as the shoreline gets further and further away the shrinking sea is no longer safe for swimming boating or fishing although there are barely any fish living in it
