And darkness came forth from the very depths of hell...consuming even the purest of souls.

Did anything happen with that preservation company? I really wish they wouldn't tear this place down. Are the grounds tours still running? That's something I still really wanna do.

I don't know what market they're aiming for. When I think of condos, I think usually of older couples moving to Florida to settle down,usually they're not bad off. Condos aren't exactly cheap, are they? Its not gonna attract the younger kids because first off, they can't afford it. Also, my experience has been condos aren't always the first choice for growing families, aren't many of them for a more relaxed lifestyle? Don't get me wrong - many young couples and growing families live in condos, I'm sure. It's not something I'm that familiar with. Anyways, though, I don't see this appealing to the "potential" buyers.

Anyways, don't take this the wrong way - I'm probably completely wrong, this has just been my experience with condos.

It's Miller time.........crack 'em open :-)

Great photography Motts. I'm spending my work shift checking out these pics. I've always had a hankerin' to explore old structures such as these. But I'll stick to my day job. I would like to check out old Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly.

I remember riding up the Sagtikos Pkwy as a kid in the early-mid 90s and seeing these enormous stacks.

SSad that demolition starts in november... its to bad it cant be that ominous building on the hill forever..

fighting ninja's? thats some other dude's site!!! ;-)

i have to go by this place everyday on my way to school (northshore Community College which is located close to danvers state) the looming builind on top of the hill is something that will cause me to get in a car accident one of these days. i find myself staring up there... wondering... its truly sad that demolition will begin in November

I think these are in a scrapyard. With the far east getting into the steel business and the cost of oil going up, it's not worth the energy it would take to melt these into usable steel again. I believe this is a place off of Arthur Kill Rd, Staten Island called "Wiite Marine". Nearby are two gargantuan LNG tanks rotting away as well. An interesting place to visit. Thank you for the photos.

This is in one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The bottom is probably a muddy muck of PCB's, oil spill residue, and unprocessed sewerage. Remember, Staten Island only recently got hooked up with public sewers. For quite a while the south shore was dumping untreated waste into the Arthur Kill. yum yum...

I think this stuff is outside of a scrap metal place on arthur Kill Rd. ?Witte marine. My friend and I snuck in there once and went on a half sunken ship. It was scary as hell. I remember walking into a room with wooden floors and looking toward the bow as the floor sunk into the depths. It was indoors yet in the sea at the same time. Very spooky.

And going to market them next to the whip cream

" It's hard to tell through the Fog, Sir, But KONG ISLAND Must be DEAD AHEAD."

Different times, different standards of privacy. Haven't you seen four hole outhouses where the whole family could "share the moment"?

I felt like I was staring up at the celing for a while, until I realized which way was up. I feel silly now. It's a great photo, though.
