NYC ruins

Examining the long forgotten history of a Central Queens industrial zone, with one abandoned warehouse in particular.

One more of LIC’s abandoned warehouse relics is not long for this earth.

Here is something from deep in the LTV archives, a very rare walk-through of the Todd Shipyard, during the short time between it’s abandonment and redevelopment into an Ikea store. For a whole lot more on the history of this shipyard, check out this 10 year old post we did on it.

Along the dark edges of Brooklyn lay two abandoned and derelict police stations. Their fate is, as of this writing, completely uncertain.

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.

In early 2012 the LIRR stored a string of their M3 type rail cars at the ‘new’ Arch Street shop

Publish Date: 8/7/2005 We make our way around and find an entrance right by a security trailer. This security trailer… it bugs me out a bit. I can’t tell if anyone is in it, but I know someone’s in this building we’re heading for. You can just sorta feel that sort of thing sometimes. You […]
