Great shot!! Gives an idea of the size of the buildings. You were right in your opening story about expecting to see beautiful staircases and such remains inside. This looks more like an ancient castle than a storage facility!

So happy you had a chance to revisit this place! Amazing and fascinating architecture for an island that was basically storage warehouses. Glad to hear they're salvaging the remains. It will be worth the trip to New York when the tours start up.
Great pics as always. Thanks for the wonderful new gallery :-).

Castle Castle Castle !!!!

I don't see a "Cliffside" sing anywhere, did someone steal it?

Baptismal Font, or Zombie Generator.
Most likely a "Lady of the Lake" changing room.

"Stairs Up"

LOL Toots, I was thinking the same thing!

( Looks around for 'Windy Twisty Paths' sign )

'Twas a darky and stormy night, as we crept through the woods and wilderness, unto the 'Cliff Steps'. Not sure that works.

Looks like a cannon port, dead center?

currently only the clock tower remains and the rest of the building has been demolished :(

June 1979 I was 12 going on 13 in September. This would be the summer between elementary and jr high. Spent the summer riding my bike, playing along the creek and trying to figure out this thing called puberty.

Not sure which building this article is about but an update on a smaller building of the property.

Fun! And Thoughtful, too - very favored ideas at the time. This was helpful for arranging meeting places too - to GROTTO we go meet.

Ohhh dear "Will meet at CLIFF STEPS, OK?"
How nice this is.
