Abandoned
After seeing the abandoned apartment from 1942 in Paris I thought, well, there has to be more of them, right? Couldn't find any on line. But I did find a site http://www.abandonedonline.net/
Abandoned is a site that shows historic sites abandoned, endangered, active and demolished. This is a site you could spend an hour or two on.
