Liberty Island & the Statue of Liberty, NY
Photos of the Statue of Liberty located on what is now known as Liberty Island. Before the Statue, the island was known as Bedloe’s Island. The Island has had several uses. A fort, known as Fort Wood, was constructed on the island 1807-1811. The star-shape underneath the Statue’s pedestal is the remains of the Fort!
Abandoned Hospital Complex, Ellis Island, NY & NJ
Ellis Island is known as an entry point for immigrants, but what about the rest of the island? Did you even know there was more to the island? Well there is! A 750-bed hospital complex is present on the remainder of the island, where the immigrants were treated for various ailments including a specific area for contagious disease patients.
The complex has been abandoned and is in disrepair, but the National Park Service is now offering “hard hat tours” of certain buildings of the abandoned hospital complex.

Kimlin House, 141 Cedar Avenue, Poughkeepsie, NY
The Kimlin House is located across from the Kimlin Cider Mill on Cedar Avenue in Poughkeepsie. The house was for sale in 2012 as a tear-down, so I contacted the realtor and photographed it. Luckily, the house was purchased by someone who is restoring it, so I went back after the restoration had began and snapped some more photos. The owner has a lot of work ahead!
Cornelius Carman House, Wappinger, NY
The Cornelius Carman house, 340 River Road South, was inventoried as part of a historic structure inventory in 1984. The house was initially constructed in 1826. In 1984 the house was being restored; currently the house appears to be in disrepair. I only photographed the house from the road because it was unclear if it is currently occupied. The inventory sheet indicates an orchard is located behind the house.

Alex’s Restaurant, Poughkeepsie, NY
Alex’s Restaurant, at the intersection of Main Street and Market Street in downtown Poughkeepsie, is a local favorite. Soon before these photographs were taken, a portion of the sign fell off/was removed, revealing a neat older sign.
