Hidden Gems #4: The $1.9 Million Shack

Image
Drove by this unsuspecting gem traveling home. Immediately got out and snapped away.

Come to find out this piece of property was built all the way back in 1899 (119 years old). You can't see from the street but there is a house located behind this small building. Surprisingly, with all the huge money pouring into this neighborhood the current owners have not sold out with the rising New York City prices. This property currently has an estimated land value of $1.9 million dollars. The house on the property is still inhabited according to sources who have looked into the property. I guess the current landowners are just sitting on it for now to maximize the most land value they can get in this increasing hot real estate market or not.

Quite a jarring sight in a hip Brooklyn neighborhood.

Vanishing Point X Brooklyn

Image
Based this post and composition on the bewildering and mysterious Westworld Season 2 Episode 9 of HBO's critically acclaimed sci-fi drama. As I was aligning the busy road below I saw the leading line and knew I had a good shot at hand and pulled the trigger.


"Do I have a choice? Were any of these choices ever truly mine to begin with?"

Intersection X Brooklyn

Image
Where life's road crisscrosses over each life path.

I've been meaning to get this shot for a while now. After, not updating my drone for over a year, I finally did the latest firmware update and headed out early to get this shot I've been meaning to take for quite some time. Looking forward to using my drone as much as I do my personal DSLR camera.

The Smallish Mill

Image
A rather unique mill that sits alongside a busy road. This mill offered unblemished interiors not found for something so wide open and sitting by the wayside alongside a busy thoroughfare. Based on the historical information, this mill once had a fire 91 years from this dated post and rebuilt with fire-resistant bricks. The building which sits on 1.8 acres of land will see 100 years in 9 short years if no buyers bite on this unique property that once manufactured household construction materials.

Steele Heddle Manufacturing Complex

Image
Last week news broke of fire engulfing the 332,600-square-foot city block North Philly factory.  I explored this factory late last year. Inside consisted of huge wooden open space floors with no machinery or other placeholders located inside. Of course, this provided the fuel that lasted three hours as firefighters fought to contain this massive fire destruction.

The Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company manufactured textile loom accessories. The Philadelphia plant remained in operation until 1983 and in 2007 sold for $1 to AM8 Group Steel Heddle. To my surprise, I only took one picture here (no video as well) after entering the basement and exploring the other three floors. It was an uninteresting place with the exception of another building down the street that piqued my interest.

Archives #5: Best Graffiti Piece of 2017

Image
I believe this to be one of the best graffiti works I have ever come across in my explorations during last year. It even beats out the Brooklyn skull mural that I found to be widely creative and great use of an abandoned space. The intricate detailed eyes and wrinkles. The use of the full length of dry wall really captured my attention once I entered this warehouse in Pennsylvania.
