Photographer Bryan Sansivero was commissioned to photograph a house in Commack, New York, that's been abandoned for at least 40 years — and he found a home frozen in time.

Sansivero told Insider there had been a legal battle between the previous owners and the local school district, which was bequeathed the home.

"Once that lawsuit was settled, the district had me come in to photograph everything in the house as it was," Sansivero said.
