A new collection of photographs
showcases some of the abandoned buildings and decaying infrastructure
that can be found throughout New York and other northeastern states.
Photographers
Daniel Barter and Daniel Marbaix visited dozen of locations on their
journey which took in New York City and the infamous Rust Belt, once
home to America’s heavy industry.
They
visited dozens of now derelict spaces including the Seaview
Tuberculosis Sanatorium on Staten Island, The Steubenville Steel works
in Ohio, plus the Rockland Psychiatric Hospital and Buffalo Central
Terminal in New York state.
They
found countless examples of decaying infrastructure including abandoned
power plants, hospitals, asylums, schools, theaters, steel mills,
prisons, factories, hotels, cathedrals, blast furnaces, and convents to a
boat graveyard.
The stunning collection of photographs has been gathered in a book entitled ‘States of Decay: Urbex New York & Americas Forgotten North East.’
The
photographers say their aim was to give people a glimpse of the broken
and doomed spaces which have been left behind in some of the country's
largest urban areas almost as monuments to a different era that is now
gone. The book is now available on buy on Amazon in the U.S. and U.K.

I grew up in a town near Pittsburgh where Alcoa had a large presence for many decades. My home town of about 25,000 people had a downtown which include 3 movie theaters, numerous clothing stores, restaurants, pharmacies, jewelry stores, etc. The town and downtown could be included in the book you've highlighted.
I always say that the my hometown was killed, not by greedy corporations, but by the unions and the Democrats who ran the town politically.
Amen to that Anonymous. My NJ hometown that had a thriving downtown district with 5 large department stores, 15 movie theatres and fabulous restaurants, is now no more. My Italian and eastern European neighborhood is now a South American slum, too dangerous and dirty to venture into. The city's gone, but the 55 year democrat reign is still going strong. Sad how we are allowing politicians of every ilk to aid us in assisted cultural suicide.
Hallo, Just read your blog of last year. I wondered where the ruined medieval church in Belgium actualy was. Quite extraordinary. Thanks for your help.
Thanks Lindy
