The post begins with the location, and the location is the first strange thing about this house. It was, the explorer writes, “a bit bizarre with where it was located and how it was built, hidden in a field and full of over grown from Mother Nature”. The house has been left abandoned for decades, he says, and inside it is a time capsule full of old computers — nearly every single room had an old PC, some looking like they date back to the 80s and 90s.
The post was published in January 2026. Everything in this article comes from that post and from the five photographs shown here. No address is given, and no owner is named
The way in
There is no photograph of the house from the outside among the five shown here. The closest thing is the first one, used here as the featured image: a narrow ivy-covered passage between two rusty red corrugated-metal walls, leading to a dark open doorway at the far end, with leaves and debris on the ground.
It is a fitting first photograph for a house the post describes as hidden. The passage is not a front garden or a driveway. It is a gap between metal walls, overgrown, with the doorway at the end standing open into darkness. The house does not present itself to the road. You have to go looking for it, and then you have to go through a gap like this one.
A room full of monitors
The second photograph is the one that gives the house its name. Several old CRT computer monitors are crowded together, with tangled vines and branches growing through them. Keyboards lie among them. A small brown bottle stands in the foreground. The walls are wood-panelled, and the light is dim.
The vines are the detail that stays with you. They have grown in through the building and threaded themselves through the machines, as if the house and the field outside it are slowly becoming the same thing. The computers were once the newest things in the room. Now they are plant pots with screens.
The post says nearly every room had an old PC, and the photographs support that — the monitors turn up again in the last photograph, stacked on cardboard boxes with vines growing through them, beside two green floral armchairs and a record player sitting on top of a box. The house collected computers the way other houses collect books.
The bedroom with the mannequin heads
The third photograph is the most unsettling of the five, and it has nothing to do with computers. It is a messy bedroom: an unmade bed covered in clothes, magazines, a black handbag and orange floral fabric, an open wardrobe with clothes still hanging in it, wood-panelled walls, a torn curtain at the window.
On the bed, or beside it, are two white mannequin heads. One wears a grey fedora. The other wears a curly wig and glasses. They are the kind of objects that make an empty room feel occupied, and they are also the kind of objects that say something about who lived here — somebody who sewed, or made hats, or dressed windows, or simply kept things other people would have thrown away. The post does not say. The heads are just there, among the clothes and the magazines, waiting.
Glasses, roses and a pine cone
The fourth photograph is a still life, and it is the quietest of the five. Round wire-rimmed glasses rest on a beige mug. Beside them, a white floral teacup, artificial red roses and green leaves, artificial fruit — yellow and red apples — and a pine cone, arranged on a floral-patterned cloth.
Somebody arranged this. Or somebody left it arranged, and nobody has touched it since. It is the sort of small composition that turns up in houses where someone cared about how things looked: the glasses on the mug, the fruit beside the flowers, the pine cone for texture. It is also the sort of thing that survives abandonment precisely because it is small and unremarkable — nobody came back for the glasses or the teacup.
What the house tells us, and what it does not
The post gives almost no history. It does not say who lived here, when they left, or why the house is full of computers from the 80s and 90s. It says only that the house has been left abandoned for decades, that it is hidden in a field, and that the computers are everywhere.
That is enough to make the house interesting, and not enough to explain it. A house full of old computers could have belonged to a collector, a repairer, a hobbyist, or someone who simply never threw anything away. The photographs do not choose between those stories. They show the monitors, the vines, the mannequin heads and the teacup, and they leave the rest open.
For a contrast with a house that is lived in and on the market, see this 1902 home in Alexandria, Minnesota, still lived in and for sale, where the questions are about upkeep and price rather than about what a closed house leaves behind. More houses in this condition are gathered in the abandoned houses archive and in abandoned mansions, and the site’s front page is abandoned.blog.
