Rescue Me

This photo was taken in the SoBro area, at 16 Clark Street on the corner of Ann Street. Records say that the home was built in 1890, and that the last sale was in 2007. Today, it’s boarded up and vacant. Click here for a listing that doesn’t provide too much information other than the price.

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 photo was taken on Carson Ave. This home was featured on the Abandoned Newburgh Real Estate post I did a while back. This home may be beyond repair however, there are lots of great stories of Newburgh homeowners buying homes exactly like this one, restoring them to their former glory. The city of Newburgh probably still owns this property. You can click on the aforementioned post to find out how to go about purchasing a city owned property.

Pretty sure this photo was taken over on Courtney. What really peaked my interest of this abandoned home was the third floor in the back. It almost looks like an extension that was done a long time ago. My guess would be that although the home looks small in the front, there is probably lots of square footage in the back.

This grand old lady sits on the corner of Liberty and Courtney Ave. It looks like it’s been empty for a while, so sad. Look closely and you can see original stained glass windows on the third floor. Occupation and restoration of this home would be a major change and anchor for this part of Liberty Street and the Heights. It’s neighbor is the lime green home featured last week. There are many photos of the Heights neighborhood when it was first formed in 1891. Surely an original photo of this home exists as well.

This is an abandoned property over on Liberty close the the corner of Courtney. The lime green has seen better days, not to mention it is probably out of code for the ARC. I love how the original door still remains and the shutters on the basement windows are something you don’t normally see either. The porch makes me wish I was a master carpenter to learn how to repair it. I have no other information on this property and have no clue what the interior looks like. Feel free to post comments with any knowledge you might have.

This picture was taken over on Henry Street, and it is literally 2 doors away from the Hudson River and mountain views. The day the photo was taken the wind was blowing fiercely. Loose window panes swung in the wind, as well as the roofing of the bay window. Habitat for Humanity has done some amazing work removing paint from original brick, so one would assume the same could be done here. This home is in an active restoring part of the Heights. Many of it’s neighbors have restored beautiful homes. This one needs to hurry up and be a part of the list! I have no other information on the home. Feel free to leave comments if you know any details.
