While the store lettering is visible from the inside, the brightness of the sun and the camouflage of the security gate ensure that it is virtually invisible from the outside. The store, which was run by the Redditor’s great grandmother until she became unwell, was never reopened after it closed more than 50 years ago.

Stay with us to see this abandoned old house untouched for 40 years, the Marion Carl farmhouse on Long Island, an intriguing time capsule, has been vacant for years due to a lack of finance and a legal struggle of ownership rights.
The local school board and district gave photographer Brian Senseavero unique access to the intriguing Victorian property before its numerous antiquities and curiosity were taken.
Take a look around the house that time has forgotten and be transported to another age
The nine-acre property, which is located in the Hamlet of Comic in Suffolk County, New York, dates back to 17 one. While the clapboard farmhouse was built on the Eve of the Civil War in 1860. The property is named after Mary and Carl, a longtime resident who was born in 1085. Marian Carl was a well-known teacher in the area who went on to organize the first PTA in the area and have a grammar school named after her.
In 1957, she left the house to the Comic School
Boarding district when she died in 1068, with the condition that it be utilized strictly for educational and historical reasons. Boards of Cooperative Educational Services BOCE used to offer occasional classes, but they were discontinued in the 1990s due to a lack of financing. The house and neighboring farm have been abandoned since then. Ms. Carl’s descendants filed a lawsuit against the school board and district in 2012, accusing them of failing to follow the terms of the ancestor’s final will and testament.
The school board and district have the right to keep ownership of the property, according to a New York State Supreme Court ruling. It’s easy to see why they fought over this property has a lot of period charm, despite the fact that it’s disintegrating. Miss Carl was clearly committed to preserving the farmhouse’s 19th-century charm, and she did little, if anything, to modernize it throughout her lifetime, despite the fact that it’s brimming with magnificent antiques and interesting curiosity. What a trip back in time. This elegant piano by New York City firm Kellynberg and Valpol is one of the many wonderful evocative furnishings in the parlor.
In 1864, four years after the farmhouse was built
The company began creating musical instruments. The farmhouse is littered with empty bottles that once held a variety of strange concoctions. Take note of the Pyrenees painting, stripping potion, and the jar labeled Loudnum, a super potent and highly addictive opium tincture meant to alleviate pain. Despite the thick dust, the house appears to be in good condition, as if she’d just left the room. If the shades were open, her ancient sewing machine would be a sunny spot beside the window, ready for use.
Ms. Carl kept her treasure safe and is safely made by the renowned Halls Safe Company
The company, which was founded in Cincinnati in the mid 19th century, produces some of the finest safes and locks in the world and is still going strong today. The farmhouse’s rooms include beautiful marble fireplaces, and while the wallpaper is peeling, the property’s original features, such as the door frames and skirting boards, are in excellent shape. The property is full of charming details, from exquisitely embroidered cushions and blankets to magnificent China items, and this enamel Chamber pot adorned with fabric flowers.
These retro homeowners have it all in the farmhouse. Photographs of the Carl family are strewn about on a table. The family members look to be comfortably, well off, and highly civilized, as seen by the beautiful apparel they’re wearing. While some portions of the house appear to be in good condition, others appear to be crumbling and in desperate need of renovation. This rotting wall, for example, is clearly seen better days.
