Being a property manager in commercial real estate definitely has its advantages. One of them is for the very reason below. I have a close friend who manages an extremely large property (approximately 1200 acres) that at one time during the hayday of WWII was the largest active base on the eastern seaboard. He literally opened up a couple of buildings for me and left me alone. Albeit very creepy at times but well worth facing the darkness and the fact that the property has tight security, I wasn't going to run into anybody else.
The last 5-7 years, the city took possession of it and has slowly transformed into a modern day commercial-use property. However, there are still some gems in this place.
Please look for future posts of mine. I have about 12 other buildings to look into before their history and their decaying beauty is lost. I was only able to check out 2 buildings today (due to time restrictions on my part) whose last operations in the building was Aug 1996 and Nov 1989 so I combined both sets of pictures here.
