As of 10/2013 the City of Newburgh owned this home. This home isn’t boarded up, but when I came to take the picture I asked the children outside if anyone lived there, and at the time they said no. This dated real estate listing provides the most information I could find.

This building is located right at the corner of City Terrace and Broadway. Although work appears to have started, this is still a rescue me building since the work is not complete, and we have no way of knowing if it will actually be completed. If all that paint were to be removed this property could be very handsome indeed.

I recently came across these photos taken by photographer Richard Cunningham of the deteriorating barracks of Stewart International Airport. They remind me of the abandoned Brooklyn navy yard houses. Click here to see what they looked like before. This THR article back from 2009 explained that the buildings which date back to the 1940’s were being torn down as part of a $2.5 million state grant given to New Windsor. This is what Richard had to say about the buildings:
A few of the 1950’s era military buildings at the former Stewart AFB in Newburgh, NY still remain in slow demolition. They seem to be recycling the exterior brick. Stewart was later Stewart Army Sub Post a satellite base of West point after the Air Force left in the 1960’s. A small Marine reserve air wing still is near these buildings. The Air National Guard is in a new facility on the other side of the air field which is now Stewart International Airport. These buildings where used occasionally for summer barracks for troops training west point cadets during the summer when I served at Stewart in the reserves in the 80’s. They have not been used at all since the 90’s.
Anyone else have memories of these buildings? Do you think they were so unsightly that they needed to be torn down?
There were kids playing in front of this home when I pulled up to photograph it last autumn. They graciously moved out of the way but left their sweatshirts there. This property was acquired by the city for $1 last June. If you are interested in purchasing this property to make it your home check out the PODA program.

This is a property that was bought for $1 back in 2003. Today it sits deteriorating and vacant. It’s a modest building but has the possibility to really shine on this block. It just needs the right owner with a vision. This is a privately owned property.

Another one of the many abandoned and vacant properties of South Miller close to the corner of Broadway. It is owned by someone who lives in New Windsor with no sales information on record. Perhaps it has been in the family for a very long time? Either way, nothing is being done with it today and it deteriorates as time goes on.
