I have a bizarre fascination with Renwick, even though I've never seen it in person (I've never even been to NYC). This photo is great; I love the contrast of the wildness and overgrowth surrounding by the crumbling walls of the hospital's shell. Very nice.

Love that architecture. I wish I could salvage all that stone. I’d design a house in the country based on that façade.

We saw this hospital on the 4th of July, 2005. It is so hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for the photos, we didn't get to see the back that day.
