GROTTO - of course: they are Everywhere /for sure/.
We will meet there, for sure too, OK? LOOK at The tree so slant fine, grew well......too

I'm with you Autoguy. Hopefully the stone was given to some family member as memento. My grandparents had a building in Detroit built in the 1920s that had a cornerstone with my Granddads initials engraved and the year. It was removed and passed down thru the family, oldest son to oldest son etc. when the building was demolished.

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?

Thank you so much. Could not get enough of all this
- fantastic pictures of such an idea and Dreams Dreams Dreams
- and it is so R I C H! Imagine to build, was pondering....all along.

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.

Yeah! Some summer home!
