The Eberhard Faber Pencil factory is breaking them all in terms of demo time. One month ago the boards went up around it, and here we are one month later, one building of the 3 almost completely demoed, the second building being smashed hard, and the third and largest, still intact, but actively having all electrical and plumbing scrapped.



What will be left if I bother to come back next month? Probably not even a pile of bricks.

Update 2018
Obviously this place is long gone. With their conversion to residential use, NYC has lost another set of abandoned industrial buildings.
