ferry to staten island, and then a 30 minute walk to this splintering marsh graveyard.

the “cathedral of chaos.” this 5-story beaut is one helluva structure. we shimmied our way in through a shady side entrance and once inside, it was like an after-hours adventureland.

pools of stagnant water, stepless stairways, teetering wood planks, piles and piles of rubble, broken glass, metal scraps and mud. mud everywhere. and on the walls, an extensive collection of aerosol masterpieces accented by nature’s reclaim.
