The party's over

Broken chandeliers and an empty pool in the shape of a Playboy bunny: Eerie photos show the remains of the abandoned party mansion known as the Swingers Palace

The Swingers' Tiki Palace is one party mansion you don't want to be invited to, with the dilapidated property made even more sinister by its owner's chilling history

TAKE a peek around this abandoned swingers’ pad, where the pool’s all dried up and the party finished a long time ago.

The Swingers’ Tiki Palace is one party mansion you don’t want to be invited to, with the dilapidated property made even more sinister by its owner’s chilling history.

The dried-up pool is the centrepiece of the entire mansion, which now lies in a rotting and dilapidated state

The run-down mansion in Birmingham, Alabama, was built by strip-club tycoon Billy Hull in 1972, but fell into disrepair after he was nicked for income tax evasion.

The seedy criminal was later convicted of hiring an assassin to kill his wife’s lover, a sick crime which landed him a 20-year prison sentence.

The eerie marble hallways have been vandalised by marauding yobs, who have taken to smashing up the party pad’s remains

And after he was found guilty of organising the hit, the house’s self-styled playboy owner had no choice but to leave his 5,600 square foot palace to rot.

Sadly, the mansion has recently been ravaged by vandals, who have taken to smashing up the rotting remains and daubing over the marble walls.

The nightmare pad, which was famous for its Playboy bunny shaped pool, was recently snapped by photographer , who has been fixated with abandoned buildings since 2009.

The photographer, from Birmingham, Alabama, heard about the Tiki Palace through a friend, and decided that he couldn’t pass up the chance to capture the eerie interior of this three-bedroom party mansion.

The interior has been left to rot and collapse, with the un-loved property an easy target for vandals

Naaman, 30, captured the vandalised remains of the creepy building, which was once decked out with dazzling chandeliers.

The photographer said: “The story of the place is very interesting.

“My friend and I had gotten a tip about a place that was going downhill fast. They called it the Tiki House – for years and years it sat, pristine decay.

“Very recently it had begun to see an influx of school kids who were really doing some damage to the place; breaking mirrors, windows, spray painting.

The rotting pad used to be a lively party venue, where swingers could freely leave their inhibitions at the door

“I knew we only had about three weeks before the place would be unsuitable to photograph.

“Personally, I hate graffiti and I rarely photograph it and avoid it like the plague.

“The place is unique but the damage was disappointing. It’s like finding a lost pharaoh’s tomb to find it’s been pillaged, all the treasure removed.

The mansion is made even creepier by its blood-stained backstory, which saw the owner convicted for hiring a hit on a love rival

“The architecture and story are amazing. The pool is the focus of the entire house, you walk into the main entrance and you’re nearly in the pool.

“The pool has two bridges over two little outlets that lead out of the main pool area which go under glass.

Caters News Agency
Tunnels from the pool once led to three bedrooms, but nobody will be swimming anywhere any time soon

“There are a few bedrooms, a bathroom with opposing pink toilets, flanked by a sunken stone shower.

“Most of the house, however, is focused on the pool which takes up most of the square footage.”
