Abandoned Staten Island
New York Farm Colony… Again
March 29, 2020

Every time I return to Staten Island Farm Colony’s remains it’s more brightly colored than the last. Because everyone is quarantining and it’s raining, I hoped I could have it all to myself–and I did. Though there was a shiny new fence securing my usual entrance off the Greenbelt Recreation Center’s main road, the entrance behind the soccer field is still wide open. And it seemed like all of the buildings’ boarded windows were wide open, allowing enough light to explore the lower floors—which was on my to-do list.

Don’t take the stairs






Don’t take the elevator either






The light was too perfect not to selfie it up











One more. Because these are historical times.




And I still haven’t explored everything here.
