NYC Industrial Ruins

Greenpoint Terminal is the gift that keeps on giving, even a decade later.

The end of the line for one of LIC’s last large manufacturers. When tehy closed up shop, they left behind an abandoned factory space bereft of hints to its past.

The Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal (BEDT) was a small railroad located along the Brooklyn waterfront. Their property ran from N.4th street to North 11th street.

In the heart of Williamsburg once sat a mysterious, abandoned factory building that was not long for this rapidly redeveloping world we call Brooklyn. This post isn’t so much a piece of it’s story as it is a photographic documentation of it’s time before death.

One of LIC’s oldest standing factories, the Blanchard Building, has a great view of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The curious case of the building and miniature railroad that was planned next to the Montauk Cutoff, yet never built.

History Constructed around 1950, this industrial building was located at 11th street and 46th ave – right across the street from the print shop that was recently demolished and replaced with condos. The last business to use this factory was Shine Electronics.

The Staten Island boat graveyard needs no introduction. What was once an obscure, unknown corner of NYC’s most neglected borough gained plenty of internet fame over the last 15 years.
