The house was engulfed with flames and heavily damaged on May 1.

No one was injured in the blaze.

Windsor police say the fire has been deemed suspicious. Anyone in the area is being asked to check their video surveillance or dashcam footage.

The house that has been abandoned for years, was spray-painted rainbow colours by local artists last September.
