01. January
General Store, Albany County.
02. February
Mansion-turned-nursing home, Westchester County.
03. March
Farrand House, Greenport (Hudson), NY. A developer plans to tear down this 19th-entury house to build a new retail complex anchored by Aldi’s supermarket.
04. April
Adolph Zukor estate ruins, New City. Zukor founded the film company that became Paramount Pictures, and owned property in New City from about 1918 to 1956. Pictured here are the ruins of supports that held a bridge that crossed a stream and waterfall.
05. May
This collapsing farmhouse is one of the few rural ruins remaining of many that Tom Rinaldi and I photographed over ten years ago. Suburban sprawl is strong in the towns south of Albany.
06. June
Dutchess Junction (Town of Fishkill). “40 Hudson River Bricks,” originally from the Hudson Valley Ruins exhibit at the New York State Museum, remains on display at ArtsWestchester through January 19, 2019.
07. July
Herring’s Corner Store, Newburgh, NY. Not a ruin, not abandoned, but I’m allowing myself this one because it is my favorite building that I photographed in July, and it is a kind of building that I have found often to be abandoned in my travels.
08. August
Bannerman’s Island Arsenal, double-exposure.
09. September
Up-To-Date clothing store on Main Street in Poughkeepsie.
10. October
Furgary Boat Club, Hudson, NY.
11. November
Tobin Packing Company, Albany, NY.
12. December
Ulster County.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Year.

I look forward to this post every new year! I particularly like Herring’s Corner Store. Clearly a special building, abandoned or not. Though the second story looks like it’s seen better days.
