The OES visited the Coshocton House on December 17, 2006. Located in the woods along a dirt road somewhere outside of Coshocton, this house was likely built in the early 1900s. Much of the house had collapsed and was unsafe to enter, almost looking as if it were hit by a tornado. Bullet holes riddled parts of the exterior, most likely due to hunters who frequent the area. We’ve been told that the home was used as a shelter for hunters for years, so it has apparently stood abandoned for some time. The ground surrounding the home was littered with old bottles and pieces of metal machinery. We are not quite sure of the location of the house, as we were guided down winding dirt roads to visit the location. If you have more information on this house, please email .

The Coshocton House as seen from the dirt road.
As we approached the home, we could see it was in major disrepair.
The entire back side of the house had collapsed.
The back side was very unsafe.
Half of the room was gone, but most of the walls on this side of the house were still standing.
Debris from the house surrounded the area.
This may have been the living room at one time.
This doorway probably led to a back bedroom. The fallen chimney can be seen here as well.
Much of the ceiling had fallen to the ground.
Another view of the collapsed chimney and doorway to the back room.
Most of the porch had been torn away.
The back door to what could have been the kitchen.
This could have been the kitchen of the home.

Notice the old beams of the floor.
A couple of rooms that no longer exist.
There was a second floor, but this was as close as we could safely get.
As you can see, the stairway looked pretty hazardous.
Another look at part of the second floor.
The collapsed back rooms.
A doorway with debris surrounding it.
Hundreds of glass bottles littered the ground just outside the house.
Some sort of old machinery.
Rabbit ears...how could they have ever picked up a signal?
