Rescue Me

These dollhouses, as I like to call them, with the gingerbread detailing are some of my favorite in Newburgh. These are some of the homes that I wish could be restored the most. The character of these homes can never be duplicated if torn down. The shape of the window frames is so quaint, especially those 2 little windows on the top floor. If the idea of fixing up this home is daunting check out this amazing before and after in Washington DC of another rowhome.

Newburgh is New York State’s second largest historic district after NYC. Newburgh literally has hundreds of dilapidated and abandoned buildings just begging for someone to come scoop them up and restore them. I’ll continue to post my own photos, but if you have a particular building you would like to see saved, email me the photo of any building you appreciate that you would like to see rescued!

This abandoned home is located in an area of homes where neighbors said the homes were being fixed up. The address is 140 3rd Street Newburgh. If it is, there will definitely be a before and after photo comparison in the future. It looks like some re-pointing work might have to be done. But I love the huge stones and the original iron railing.

This abandoned Newburgh home was photographed back in April on Williams Street. No clue as to whether the garbage is still there. Hopefully it was removed during the city wide clean up.

This abandoned home is located near St. Luke’s Hospital, over on Dubois. There are some great details on this home, and it looks like maintenance has been done. So why is it still empty? Anybody have an idea?

A solitary building somewhere in Newburgh. Feel free to comment if you know the exact location. I can’t remember.

Here’s a photo of what it looks like a few weeks later. Things are falling apart.
