Christmas morning climbing to build mind and character 😛
Over the last 20 years, we have made a point of exploring every abandoned factory, warehouse and industrial related location within NYC. Here is a sampling of some of these locations, including photos and in depth histories (where possible).
During the first week of March, 2020, the final bricks of the old Fresh Direct warehouse in L.I.C. came tumbling down. This building had a long history, and the future of this now cleared site is unknown (for the moment).
Did you know the Navy Yard once contained it’s own Hospital, and some of its abandoned buildings still survive today?
Admiral’s Row was the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s best known Bando. Literally that’s the only reason for this post.
Nearly ten years ago, we made an accidental discovery hidden in an abandoned corner of the Navy Yard that would soon become one of the most recognized memorials in NYC.
Trivia time: what is the one building in NYC that not only had a train track running through it, but was also used to build entire sections of legendary U.S. battleships?
