This Eerie And Fantastic Footage Takes You Inside Maryland’s Abandoned Uplands Mansion

Are you fascinated by abandoned places? Old, abandoned mansions in Maryland have been left to decay, but they are still full of beautiful (yet somewhat eerie) details.

This historic structure in the Baltimore area is known as Uplands Mansion. In the 1800s, it was the summer home of a socialite named Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs. Upon her death in 1936, Jacobs willed the estate to a local church and wished it to be used as "a home for lonely churchwomen, unable to provide for themselves." After renovations, it was used for just that from the 1950s until the 1980s. A church sanctuary was later built on the grounds, was used for a few years, and then demolished in 2004.

Today the mansion still stands, left to wither away, day by day. Check out the below screenshots and video of this still-stunning abandoned Maryland mansion.

Historic Uplands Mansion in Maryland is perched on a hill, with a beautiful view of Baltimore.

Here's what it looked like long ago...

...and here's what the exterior looks like today. Not too much appears different from afar...

...but an up-close view reveals a dilapidating structure. It's sad to see what this spot has become.

A look inside reveals built-in bookshelves...

...and a rusty piano that's seen better days.

The remaining fireplaces still retain some intricate details...

...and the stairways are cracked and crumbled.

Sections of entire ceilings are missing...

...and although many windows are missing glass, they're still eerily beautiful among the mess.
