How Does A Deserted Mansion In New York Still Stand Today And Be Filled With Mystery?

With a population of approximately 8.5 million people, New York City is one of the most populous cities in the United States. You’d think there’d be no room for secrets as buildings rise and rent costs soar to accommodate the quarter-million people who relocate there each year. Where would they seek refuge? There appears to be no inch of the five boroughs that has gone untouched, from deep under the enormous subway tunnels (which are continuously under construction) to the tippy top of the Empire State Building. Although nothing is known about this abandoned estate just a few miles outside of Times Square’s busy hub, it has remained almost completely unspoiled. Photographer Bryan Sansivero explored the abandoned property and captured a series of stunningly disturbing photographs.

Behind The Mystery Of This Abandoned Home

If it hadn’t been for the work of New York-based photographer Bryan Sansivero, this mansion would have remained unnoticed, undiscovered, and rotting just outside of Manhattan. Sansivero specializes in photographing scenes of urban deterioration, with a focus on abandoned structures. In 2008, he directed Shadows of Kings Park, an award-winning film about a failing psychiatric institution in Kings Park, New York. The film demonstrated what he excels at: getting people to notice things that have been overlooked for a long time. Sansivero was able to obtain entrance to the 57-room estate and take photographs inside.
