“the city must never be confused with the words that describe it, and yet between the one and the other there is a connection” Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Admiral's Row in Brooklyn, NY. I selected this as a ruin because it is decaying site, but it is also a historical location.
Onika, these are beautiful pictures! Admiral's row looks like a painting. I'm interested in your choices for NYC ruins. What's the minimum requirement for a ruin? Do they have to be historical - and if so when does something pass into history? You might like to take a look at work by Alfredo Gonzalez-Ruibal and Shannon Dawdy's to think through some of these issues.
