Curvature

Curvature

A look at the curved solarium that was located in the center of the building. A number of bullet holes all over the place might account for the amount of broken windows.

Probably a couple of gang people playing target practice, what better place than an abandoned hospital in the middle of the river? There has to be any number of places to hide out should someone hear them.

I love the windows, it looks like they are intact and someone just wiped off various spots so you could see the foliage through it. Kinda like a bathroom mirror.

Those shots were by without a doubt the Harbor Police accross the river. For many years Harbor-1 of the NYPD were stationed close by and no doubt, took out thier frustrations and target practice on the building.
