    The Old Abandoned Buildings of Northern New York Website has photos, approximate locations, accompanying information and/or anecdotes on abandoned structures and ruins in the Upstate NY region, though most are in Jefferson, St. Lawrence, and Lewis Counties.

Short List of Brand New Additions

 

 
   

    There are over 250 structures shown on this site with new ones added occasionally when I can.  Many of the photos are from different aspects and angles when possible.  I consider an 'abandoned building' one that has not been inhabited or utilized for quite some time and is presently not being used when the photo is taken.

    If you have a photograph of an abandoned building, or know of one not shown on these pages please send me an e-mail.  I have a large list of suggestions from you; the visitors to this site, that I have yet to photograph.

     You can also find some of the same photos on the OABONNY Flickr.com page here.  You can add annotations and remarks directly to the photos there and I will replicate the relevant ones over to this site.  Or send a comment via any of my webpages here.  We also have accounts on Facebook here and Myspace here.Combs Road House, Page 1

     The photos on these pages that were taken by me were shot with a Canon Powershot A570 IS, older photos were taken with an Olympus D-460 Zoom.  A very few were taken with a Motorola Razr V3xx, from stills from a Canon ZR500 digital widescreen camcorder, or an older Polaroid digital camera.

     Please also note - no property is trespassed on for photos I have taken personally; I get permission if I do want to take any interior shots or angles I can't get from public property.  I hope to contribute a little to the idea of non-destructive Urban Exploration with these photographs.  Whether you call it Urban Exploration (UrbEx), Infiltration, Creeping, Urban Spelunking, Reality Hacking, Building Hacking, Urban Caving, Psychogreography, or whatever - I believe in passive observation, no damaging of property.

     From time to time this site may be down for a few minutes.  If so just try again in a short time. Also, you can access the site via either http://oabonny.co.cc or http://oabonny.freehostia.com (thanks to Freehostia.com for hosting us).

    No responsibility is taken for the information nor accuracy of what is presented on these pages, and all photos and information are for your entertainment only.  All photos are copyrighted by me unless noted under the photo's thumbnail.  If you plan on physically going to the location to look at any of the buildings presented here follow all laws, don't trespass, don't take anything, cause damage or leave graffiti.

     Click here to begin perusing the first photo page, click here to see my favorites, or click a link in the menu which appears near the top of each page.  Below each structure's thumbnail is it's approximate location, relevant information, and sometimes anecdotes (if you have anything to add to any picture please e-mail me).  Each thumbnail can be clicked on to view a larger version more higher resolution photo.  Pressing your browser's BACK button will return you to the previous thumbnail page.  Also, near the bottom of each thumbnail page are links for jumping to any page number, or moving to the next or previous page.

     To search for a specific location there is a brief index of locations that can be found by clicking on the top menu (someday I plan on re-organizing all of the pictures into townships or something easier to peruse), or you may search the entire site for a location, category of buildings, or descriptions - use the SEARCH box below.  To search for a phrase use quotes; like this: "Rector Road".
