Great picture! It's odd seeing the city through this old building but I love it.

Thank God for those supports! Damn.

This is one of my favorites! Amazing!

Love this!

This is a beautiful picture. I swear, I am far too scared to wander a place like that at night. I'm happy that you do, so I can see these awesome pictures and locations.

This is a great picture, worth the precarious 2 minutes!

I love that this is wallpaper. Great picture.

Cool shot with the old facade and the bridge. I hope the building didn't collapse!

Love this building! I'm so happy they are trying to do something with it.

Thank God you got off the island safe and sound! Damn.

Pretty sure these are part of Cavaglieri's stabilization work in 1975, or perhaps a later effort.

The first sizable building to utilize structural steel supports wouldn't be constructed until 1885, 31 years after the Renwick Smallpox Hospital's foundation was placed.

Was the steel structure original or part of the effort to stabilize the remaining structure?

Big, noisy mosquitoes. That's all they are!

While the old and new contrast is interesting, I appreciate older architecture and consider modern architecture ugly by comparison. I'd rather just see nature or more old architecture, but there is plenty for all tastes here, which makes this site great. Keep up the good work.

Wow, I'd bet you'd have to have stories of having to hide and getting away. There may be more of those times to come, so I hope you make out well.

Nice shot. Place must be creepy at night.

Fantastic shot! Thank you for sticking it out. Wallpaper?
