The Struggle to Preserve the Brooklyn Navy Yard - NYTimes.com

Abandoned 30 years ago this is a preservationist's worst nightmare.


For more than three decades, Admiral’s Row, like much of the nearby industrial waterfront, was largely left to rot. Further complicating matters was the fact that even though much of the 300-acre site was turned over to New York City in 1966, 10 former officers’ homes and a timber shed that was once used to repair masts of large sailing vessels remained under the control of the federal government.

For decades, both sites languished.
