Floyd Bennett Field Hangars ~ Brooklyn New York

Times have been better since Floyd Bennet Field opened as New York's first airport in 1931. Today, much of the facility is in disuse while other parts are used for police and Coast Guard training as well as aircraft storage and repair.

That hangar in Brooklyn is really cool. We have a hangar like that (c. 1936) here in Delaware, but it doesn't have the detail like that.

Beth Steel Works, Bethlehem PA

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation (1857–2003), based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was once the second-largest steel producer in the United States, after Pittsburgh PA-based US Steel. After a decline in the U.S. steel industry and management problems leading to the company's 2001 bankruptcy, the company was dissolved and the remaining assets sold to International Steel Group in 2003. In 2005, ISG merged with Mittal Steel, ending US ownership of the assets of Bethlehem Steel.

The site of the company's former main plant in Bethlehem, PA, is now home to an arts and entertainment district called SteelStacks. The plant's 5 blast furnaces have been left standing and serve as the back drop for this new campus. The site currently features a contemporary performing arts center, called the ArtsQuest Center, at the west end and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, to the east of the site. Future attractions include a free music pavilion, Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks.

Those are beautiful structures.. If those are still structurally "sound" they could turn 'em into apartments/lofts like they did with some old mills...
