Abandoned places in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania files 14 dossiers as abandoned — doors shut, roofs going, the legend outliving the upkeep. Abandoned is a filing, not an invitation: most of this ground is private, posted or simply unsafe, and the record keeps it documented from the legal distance. Never trespass — the file stays filed either way.
