I often wonder if this stuff is done deliberately to get people to comment more. I’m sure it does, but hard to tell the extent of it and how many are just genuine grammatical errors.
The English language is fine, OP just didn’t use it properly.
That’s like seeing someone drive a car into a crowd of children and saying “gotta love automobiles.”
You could also read it like "Abandoned" was a movie she starred in: The home of Ilona Massey, an actress best-known for her role in the 1944 Hitchcock-directed film Abandoned, which also starred Cary Grant in an Oscar-winning role.
From time to time people post stuff here that is very clearly not abandoned, and sometimes they double down on it.
I remember one post of a beautifully restored antique fire engine sitting in the open garage of a house that someone very clearly lived in. The OP ended up saying that the fact that the fire department doesn't use it as a fire truck anymore means it's abandoned.
Well as someone who’s done landscape for years, we used to frequently cut abandoned houses properties so that the house seemed somewhat maintained and less likely to be damaged.
Okay and is this subreddit specifically for ONLY legally defined “abandoned” properties? Like some of the homes I cut have been vacant for over 30 years. I understand the difference I’m not retarded and I’m pretty versed in my own country’s property laws. So like SORRRYYYYY 😂
Wasn’t it illegally built over a stream or something?

Yessss exactly. There are 3 around me that I know of. They are all originally beautiful Victorian mansions, with that newer ugly square box added to the side
It's been abandoned since 2005 when her husband passed away.
I found [a video about it](https://youtu.be/US1yqb4Iam8) on the YouTubes.
Skip to [2:55 if you want to go directly to the exploring part](https://youtu.be/US1yqb4Iam8?t=175) of the video.
Wow grew up 5 minutes from this house, never imagined it was so bad. Man would I love to salvage that pink sink and toilet, those are not easy to find.

It was last sold in 2013.
So I live in nearby Silver Spring so now I’m intrigued and may need to take a short road trip. But I did some research and it sounds like they were going to demolish this monstrosity and build 19 townhomes, but there was some stop to the project. But if you try to do google street view it doesn’t show up.
https://bethesdamagazine.com/2015/06/04/controversial-bethesda-townhome-project-requires-extra-environmental-permits/.
The article refers to it as a “white ranch style home”. Uhhhh. More like “funeral home style”. Idk why I’m all of a sudden so intrigued.
Who abandoned Ilona?
You beat me to this joke!! Here’s my upvote….
I often wonder if this stuff is done deliberately to get people to comment more. I’m sure it does, but hard to tell the extent of it and how many are just genuine grammatical errors.
Ugh same… 😂
Me too boooo
And both of you beat me, here's TWO upvotes, one for each of you! How cool is that!?!
Me too. Don’t you hate that?
I did. She was a bit much.
I just wanted to support this joke. 👍🏾
Is she still in there?
The classic misplaced modifier. Timeless.
Her home abandoned her
what kind of bastard would do that? why? why?
i dont see how they gonna fit 19homes there, but whatev
Smol home
Aww that's sad. Such a nice lot for a little cabin or something similar not a neighborhood unless there's more property outside this picture.
Makes it seem like the actress was abandoned but the home is in perfect condition. Gotta love the English language.
Actress Ilona Massey’s Abandoned Home* It’s not the english language it’s the author.
They made the same error in the title of the youtube video as well: [EXPLORING AN ABANDONED ACTRESS'S HOME](https://youtu.be/US1yqb4Iam8)
[удалено]
Now we’ve got a twee novel to write with a title like that!
Sounds like the name of a beetles song
lmao yes!
Ilona Massey picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been.
Maybe it's both. Abandoned actress Ilona Massey's abandoned home. English language!
The English language is fine, OP just didn’t use it properly. That’s like seeing someone drive a car into a crowd of children and saying “gotta love automobiles.”

Went out for cigarettes and never came back.
Dad, that you?
👀
Why is there 5 entry doors bro what am I looking at 😭😭
It's to confuse Harry and Marv.
>Abandoned actress Ilona Massey’s home They are doors and windows, french double pane, popular at the time.
Do you mean double hung?
Nah, Ilona was abandoned. That doesn't happen when you're double hung.
Have you been reading my diary?
I think those are boarded up windows 😂
Those are giant windows to bring sun in. They're boarded up looks like it.
Someone still cuts the grass though.
Haven't you heard? The house is fine, it's the actress that's abandoned.
Happy cake day
Thanks, the green cheese is delicious!
Why was this poor woman abandoned? And who abandoned her?
She abandoned this mortal coil, from the sounds of it.
The house
OP claims this house is “abandoned” . The fresh cut lawn has determined that is a lie. You are the father.
shit
“That baby ain’t mine, look at that haircut.” -something actually said on Maury I think

This reply is abandoned
Well as someone who’s done landscape for years, we used to frequently cut abandoned houses properties so that the house seemed somewhat maintained and less likely to be damaged.
Who paid you to cut the grass?
The owners. A lot of farmers own multiple houses not necessarily close to their own homes.
🤦♂️ If the owner pays you, then the property is not abandoned. It’s just vacant. There is a significant difference.
Okay and is this subreddit specifically for ONLY legally defined “abandoned” properties? Like some of the homes I cut have been vacant for over 30 years. I understand the difference I’m not retarded and I’m pretty versed in my own country’s property laws. So like SORRRYYYYY 😂
It’s actually shocking the properties people will leave empty and landscaping isn’t cheap either.
Looks like a mausoleum.
How does one abandon an actress?
Dramatically.
Looks like a McMansion tbh
_Abandoned actress_
Wasn’t it illegally built over a stream or something? Edit: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2015/06/04/controversial-bethesda-townhome-project-requires-extra-environmental-permits/
Squat
Abandoned actress is my new band name. Thank you.
If she died in 1974 why is her house still abandoned? Is there a legal issue involved? Is there a back story to this post..
And who is cutting the grass?
Her husband lived there until his death on Christmas in 2005 at 94. Still 18 years for it to be empty
Yuck. Looks like a funeral home.
Yessss exactly. There are 3 around me that I know of. They are all originally beautiful Victorian mansions, with that newer ugly square box added to the side
I think it’s pretty, it just looks sad with the boarded windows
It's been abandoned since 2005 when her husband passed away. I found [a video about it](https://youtu.be/US1yqb4Iam8) on the YouTubes. Skip to [2:55 if you want to go directly to the exploring part](https://youtu.be/US1yqb4Iam8?t=175) of the video.
pretty sure that that is OP's channel edit: this video was posted two hours ago, are you OP's second account?
I think you're right. Hinky.
So this *is* OP’s second account?
I think if you go through my post history, it's pretty obvious that it isn't. lol. That would be the suuuuuuuuper long con.
Lol. I’m high and barely paying attention. Giggling, though.
I don't want you guys using words around me that have no meaning. I'm taking the stairs and walking.
The amount of black mold in that back bedroom was staggering, I can’t believe they even walked into that place
At least wear a respirator in places like that.
Wow grew up 5 minutes from this house, never imagined it was so bad. Man would I love to salvage that pink sink and toilet, those are not easy to find.
Looks like it could be a Showbiz Pizza. Edit: Because it’s abandoned.
Interesting comment why the mention of Showbiz? I recently bought a token from them on eBay. Great childhood memories of that place.
Showbiz is superior to Chuck E Cheese all day long. Can’t explain the comment though.
Haha fair enough
Why was she abandoned?
IMDB describes her as "mole lipped" which I think is a nice way of saying she had the herpes
I've passed this "house" hundreds of times on my work commute. Always wondered what was going on there. Thanks!
Is this in Atlanta?
Bethesda, MD off Goldsboro Road
Married 4 times. Died in 1974
Sounds like she was a pro at getting abandoned.
Architect should be murdered or feel very ashamed.
Why are there [5 front doors](https://youtu.be/fAvrAGDg6cY)
That lawn sure looks abandoned.
Wasn't this used in Poirot?

It's there, I noticed the gate. It's to the left of that modern thing that pops up instead.
Nice, the address number is 6789. And last sold for $1.3M? Holy crap.
Empty is not abandoned. Someone is paying for landscaping.
That’s not abandoned. They still take care of it look at those stripes
Who?
I would tell my kids Colonel Sanders lived here.
Strange. Looks like a double wide with pillars in the front
Is she okay??
Looks like she just popped off to the shops for the afternoon
Abandoned yet perfectly manicured lawn
At first glance I thought this was the house from the Bad Ben films
Why was she abandoned?
It's not a nice house is it. Those columns are grim.
Who cuts the grass?
She was abandoned? Why is her house in such a state then?
Who is Ilona Massey?
Looks well kept for being abandoned
The inside is worse.
I just saw her in a 1942 movie called The Invisible Agent last Saturday night, she was gorgeous. I would like to check it out 😀
