I Found An Abandoned 19-Century Cottage That Belonged To An Enigmatic Clockmaker And Collector Of Curios (27 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

As an urban explorer, I often get to see abandoned houses. However, none may have been as filled with antique history as this one. Fittingly frozen in time like the many stopped clocks that litter its dilapidated rooms, this 19th-century New Jersey cottage was once home to an enigmatic clockmaker and collector of curios, but now lies empty and forlorn, the pendulum having swung squarely against its favor.

As I peaked around the rooms, I was in awe with what was left behind. How can a house filled with such value now be void of life?

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

I would love to buy that house, everything included. And make a home out of it 🙂
