3 days ago · Here are Untapped New York’s favorite abandoned places in New York City’s five boroughs. Some are break-in-able, some open to the public, some only for the intrepid.
- Renwick Smallpox Hospital. Opened in: 1856. Abandoned in: 1950s. Find it: On the southern tip of Roosevelt Island. In the mid–19th century, New Yorkers had a lot more to worry about than rising rent prices or long lines for brunch—like, say, smallpox.
- Red Hook Grain Terminal. Opened in: 1922. Abandoned in: 1965. Find it: 80 Halleck St, Brooklyn. The Red Hook Grain Terminal was envisioned as a key part of Brooklyn’s waterfront, but just three years after its construction critics wrote it off as “an expensive luxury.”
