Rescue Me

I can’t remember exactly where I took this photo, so feel free to give the street address for this property. The most I know is that the house number is 254. Hopefully someone will come and rescue this home and make it into the quaint little row home it was meant to be. Click here for inspiration for what this home could look like.

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!

One day this will be a really cute cottage and might look something a little like this.  This is 260 Liberty Street, another one of those homes that I think can be bought and rehabbed through a certain organization.

Seriously, this home looks just like the brownstones I pass on my way to work in Manhattan everyday…(sigh) I think this home at 290 Liberty Street could be purchased and rehabbed through an organization. Either way, this will be a gorgeous home one day. The house next door to the left has already been purchased, and the home owners are already sprucing up the property. Two newly restored houses to this block would be a huge improvement.

I thought it would be neat to start this new series called “Rescue Me.” It would be a way to bring some attention to Newburgh’s hidden potential and highlight Newburgh architecture. You never know who might be inspired…even this blog was inspired from an unexpected source. Feel free to post comments with any information you might have on the building featured.

Rescue me
Take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
