Slightly above the Bronx, in Yonkers, there is an
abandoned power plant, constructed over a hundred years ago, and abandoned for about fifty years. I don't go outside the City much for exploring. However, this was a place the had
to be seen as soon as possible. I heard rumors about workers clearing out the place to convert the space into apartments or something of the sort. I decided that I needed to go see
it before it was completely changed. Now, there are about three buildings in
Glenwood Plant. If you ever see any
photographs of the location, you're most likely seeing what's in this main building (which has a coal processor if you bother to go high enough):
However, this building connects to a secondary, shorter one, which (it seems like), is what's being converted.Most bits have been cleaned, some graffiti is being scraped out, and many of the stairs that were once busted out have been replaced with wooden steps.
Note the dumpster in the background, another sign of how the location is very different from
what it was.
In the back, there is a third, smaller, tertiary building, which has an external ladder leading to the roof, and, it seems to have been untouched by workers thus far.
Despite having been somewhat cleaned, with
overgrowth cleared and safety measures added, the place is still a tall death trap, with broken stairs, giant holes in the ground, and falling bits of debris.
