It's a Telex ... haven't seen one in over 20 years ...

can i get one of thoes please to stay in?

I want to cry. A comment above has it right- it is not just the building- which was magnificent- it is also all of the souls that entered there, were buried there, grew up there...

These pictures are very beautiful but heart-wrenching for anyone who went to school here as I did. I can remember the chapel- well the whole school- in detail. I was so happy when the move to restore the chapel was underfoot- these pictures show that even in this state it was an incredibly beautiful place and makes its loss all the more painful.
I am not sure why you chose to photograph it but am very grateful that you did. Your work is excellent. Thank you.

looks like a radar reciever.

Also the last coal fired boat.

This was the last steam fireboat in the F.D.N.Y

This was a mine sweeper, thus the wooden hull. A steel hull would attract magnetic mines.

Eldokid, hope you are recovering comfortably, I had shoulder surgery two weeks ago and I'm still howling! Owwwwwwww...

Another great gallery, thank you!

Thanks for posting these abandoned places photos.

My grandparents lived near the park. I have a faint memory of my uncle bringing my cousins and I to the park when we were young. I remember being in awe of this beautiful chapel (it was abandoned) and I wanted to see inside so bad but of course my uncle wouldn't allow five kiddos to go exploring the crumbling chapel. Little did I know, this is what sparked my love for urban exploration. Recently, my mother and I visited the park to see if it was still there. It makes my heart ache that this beautiful church was demolished. Discovering this website and these pictures has been a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing.
