Summary

Description

Abandoned house along Old Mine Road, Sussex County, within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This is a photograph of the John Losey House. It was inhabited by Walpack Postmaster John Losey and his family (wife and 4 children). He was among the most famous African American residents of the area. During the 1955 floods, this house was chained to a tree in an effort to save the house, but the flood waters displaced the house off its foundation by about 6 inches. The house has never been inhabited since the great flood of 1955. No signs indicate what this house is or its history. It lays abandoned, awaiting its ultimate decay at the hands of mother nature.

On the SCP Foundation this is known as SCP-1530 and has strange noises omitting from it at time to time. This and the handful of other abandoned houses in the area are probably a legacy of the defunct Tocks Island Dam Project.
