Pretty sure this photo was taken on Lander. The basement door was kicked in and there was a lot of debris and garbage inside. 100 years ago, even 60 years ago it was probably an adorable home.
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 really would make a grand old home wouldn’t it? It would be intriguing to find out who the original owners were who built this home. It’s not in the most ideal location of the city, but it definitely is for someone with big dreams. There is a sign out front that lists it for sale. If you are interested call: 845-351-5000. If you need some inspiration for what these buildings can become, check out the before and after series.

This house is probably past a rescue. If not, somebody with some major money would have to be willing to come fix it up. The details really are great. And it’s best to take a picture before it’s gone forever. This house was interesting.
As I got out my car to take a picture, some curious neighbors wanted to know why I was photographing abandoned homes. I simply replied, “because they’re interesting.” A man then told me that this house suffered a fire 41 years ago. He remembers because he was 8, and he saw it all from the window of his house across the street which, his family has owned for over 100 years. The best part that I wish I would’ve taken a photo of – was his “I Love Newburgh” shirt. It was the perfect moment.
A small attempt was made to save this property, but fell through. There was also a carriage house out back that is also falling apart. You can see another picture of the home here (scroll down).

Williams Street in Newburgh used to be a thriving shopping district along side Broadway, Liberty Street, Water Street, and Front Street, Colden. Today, all is left of the Willams Street shopping district is the memory of butchers, and bakers, and all the other quaint little shops that used to exist. Williams still even retains the original brick road. There are a lot of abandoned buildings on the street that need rescuing. It would be wonderful to have a fully developed commercial district along Williams. Most large cities have various commercial districts and Newburgh was no different. There is still the possibility to make that a reality in Newburgh. Here are pictures of more abandoned commercial buildings on Williams Street and the surrounding area.
These buildings were recently sold at the Newburgh auction to various buyers. It would’ve been great to have one vision and purpose for all of these buildings. Let’s see what development comes about in the future.
I love the round porch and entry way of this home in Newburgh. It’s been beat up and seen it’s fair share of neglect as the ‘warrior’ graffiti ironically points out. The upper floor looks like it has aluminum siding in place, and the stone work on the porch might soon be unsalvageable if not taken cafe of. Maybe one day it can be restored to its former beauty.
