The cathedral-scale 1907 New York Central power station on the Yonkers waterfront, abandoned since 1968 and long a magnet for photographers and film crews. It is now privately owned and being converted into 'The Plant'/Powerhouse arts and events complex, though the project has moved slowly amid community-benefits disputes still in the news through 2025. The site is fenced, monitored, and reached only by crossing active Metro-North tracks; inside are unguarded shaft openings, deep flooded basements, and corroded catwalks. Legal interior access occasionally happens via organized tours and events — wait for those.
