We came across this fantastic site called Vanishing Catskills by Raymon Elozua, an artist who has taught at New York University, Pratt School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, California College of Arts & Crafts and Louisiana State University. He put together a collection of photographs of all the abandoned houses, bungalows, pools, resorts etc. within a ten mile radius of Mountaindale NY. The photos are fantastic, along with exterior pictures, he has a lot of interior shots too. We really recommend taking a look at it. The coolest part about the site is that he lists all of the streets where he found these abandoned properties. So, armed with this information we decided to take a drive to the Catskills and look for some abandoned places ourselves.
(You need to up load the pics from the first day as I don't have any yet, so I didn't write about it)
