In California there are several ghost towns with stuff intact.
My very apartment building! The basement has been partially sealed off. These sealed off rooms include a ballroom, a tennis court, a beauty salon, a diner, and these weird storage rooms. We went exploring one night and came to the conclusion that it was sealed off sometime in the 70s, since we found a lot of late 60s/early 70s style things down there. The landlady told us the beauty salon was the last to close -- sometime in the early 80s. I was hoping to find older stuff (the building was built in 1926), but just a bunch of 60s stuff. And stacks of fancy doors! Our building was apparently very posh in it's day. Now a shadow of what it was.

The ballroom entrance. There was a "back way" into it!

Coat check? Sealed off adjacent to the ballroom doors.

This sign is hand drawn and painted. I'm guessing it's original to the building (20s?) Would anyone know anything about stuff like this?

The most awesome thing I found in our exploration was this bit of graffiti!
I have a recurring dream where I live in a house (that doesn't look a bit like my present abode), then I suddenly find it has an entire hidden wing.
