That's amazing that it's still there. I hope no one touches it & treats it as an icon of this facility. I'm also happy to see no one responding to the pinheads threatening further vandalism & theft thus denying them the attention they so desperately crave.

VNV-Nation would love this as a cover :)

I really enjoy riding my mountainbike throughout the old grounds. The views of the sound and of the surrounding area are amazing. They would be making a disastrous mistake if they develop this land. Long Island is far to built up already. There is not much open space remaining. This is a precious piece of property that should remain in the hands of NY State Parks Department in order for future generations to enjoy. It would continue to add to the quality of life of all Long Islanders if it were to remain in their hands.

"I live in the weak...and the wounded.....doc..."

the binders and resins from the coating (paint) break down more quickly in the cold weather, thats usually why u only see this on exteriors. but, with no heat in the building....it makes for more interesting pics!

My apologies i realized after posting that i came off sounding rude, and well i was wrong. The device is a valve positioner it monitors the position of control valve and compares it to the input signal from the pilot valve. Very cool pictures and great site been in this power plant several times and used to work for nissequogue river state park who now owns the property. Keep the great photos coming.

That is technically called a pilot valve, a device used to pneumatically measure and control a regulating valve. The photography is good however.

I live in Kings Park...all the buildings are terrifying!

you guys and the chairs, omg, hahaha!!!

all of these stories and pictures are extremely intriguing to me! This one in particular looks not as sad as the others, perhaps it"s an area with not so bad memories?!

Ooo, you should never go near a raccoon, especially in the daytime. If a raccoon is out in the daytime, it most likely means that it's sick.

OK, folks, here's the straight poop on biohazard containers per OSHA.

If someone left that there when the facility closed, they take stupidity to a whole new level. Biohazard bags must be disposed of after 28 days if any material is in them. It doesn't matter if the material is infectious or not. When any material is introduced into the bag, the date must be written on the outside of if with a permanent marker. No date on the bag? That's a $6000.00 fine. If the date is past 28 days, that's another $6000.00 fine. Per bag.

Reminds me of a Navy ship.

Motts, your talent with a camera borders on the supernatural. You have a gift young man. A natural gift that cannot be learned in a classroom.

This looks like a 19th century jail lock. I really like the vines & the exposed bricks. Spectacular photography.
