Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse Maps, Diagrams & Signs.





This overhead photo is looking west. Manhattan would be to the right, Queens to the North (top) All buildings outlined by the red line were damaged or destroyed by the May 2nd fire. ("Area 3"). there were approximately 15 interconnected buildings on this lot.


Overview of Area 3 showing the Collapse Zone and (to the right) Ra's Lair, which was located on the top floor of the building.


Another view of the collapse zone. This area/building was the largest and most obvious of several collapsed floors within the complex.


Line depicts where we traveled on the Ryder truck night .Starting at the eastern most building, traveling west over hole filled rooftops, along a ledge over the collapse zone, down a ladder and off into GTW4.


A more detailed view of the route over the collapse zone. In retrospect, had it been daylight and I could see where we were going, I'm not sure I'd have done it...Then again, being on that ledge shimmying over to the ladder down that wall looking down into the huge hole was an experience not to be forgotten.


And finally:


These signs I believe I picked up outside of GTW a very long time ago. The Valve sign was common all over GTW, as each pipe that ran through the place seemed to have numbered valves on them - off of which had these ancient iron numbered signs on them. The employee sign I like because it's wording is so old school ('dishonesty?!'). Ironically I was thinking of throwing this out as it's pretty ugly looking, but there ain't no way in hell this will be in my trash can any time soon.

Ironically, the flag in these photos came from GTW. It was used during the Anti MTA Photo Ban protest in 2004. Photos c/o Satan's Laundromat.
