Urban Explorer Shares Photos Of An Abandoned House Of A Confederate Colonel (26 Pics)
New York-based filmmaker, photographer, and urban explorer Bryan Sansivero recently visited an abandoned 1853 home in Virginia that used to belong to a Confederate Colonel. Despite the house being abandoned for years, it remained surprisingly intact – even most of the Colonel’s things remain inside, suggesting that he might have left in a rush. The house is filled with vintage furniture and appliances, and there are even old coats still hanging in the attic. “As an urban explorer it’s the kind of house you dream about. A house filled with so much history, every way you hold your camera a new story can be told,” says the photographer.
Take a trip back in time and see Bryan’s photos of this incredibly well preserved home in the gallery below!
