Urban guerilla photographer Nathan Kensinger recently found his way into the Admirals Row houses and came out with some interesting photos and observations:

However, some of the buildings are in remarkably good condition. Their staircases, light fixtures, plasterwork, shelves, mantlepieces and wood floors are only in need of polish and paint. The beauty of these architectural details, when compared to the complete devastation in other buildings, is a stunning indictment of the Navy’s neglect.

Lots more photos on the link. Enjoy.
