Abandoned huts between Rt. 66 and Waples Mill Rd.

In the early 2000s, there was some kind of abandoned development of huts or small, one-level buildings that were all overgrown with plants. If you took Fox Mill Rd to Waples Mill Rd. heading towards the Waples Mill Rd.
overpass crossing Rt. 66, you could see it on your right going up the hill shortly after turning onto Waples Mill Rd. from Fox Mill Rd. I think you could also see part of it just off of Rt. 66 as you crossed the overpass coming back in the other direction. There are a bunch fancy houses there now, but I think they were built fairly recently. What was there before? I think I heard it may have been a gardening nursery or something.

The main part I remember is the first part I described. It's right near Waples Mill Meadow Park, and I don't think that particular section has the new houses on it.

Upon further research, it appears the first section I described is actually IN Waples Mill Rd. Park. I've never actually been in the park, but maybe the buildings were park facilities? I don't think they're there anymore.

I still don't know about the part next to Route 66. I think that part had graffiti on it last I saw it.
