Closing Bell: Revisiting the Batcave

Yesterday’s Superfunding of the Gowanus Canal is unlikely to speed the sale of Gowanus Village so it’s unlikely the building known as the Batcave will get cleaned up anytime soon. Urban explorer/photographer Nate Kensinger recently paid a follow-up visit to the beautiful industrial building (he’d first ventured in back in 2007) and found evidence of further decay: “Additional holes in the slowly collapsing roof flood water into the building,” he writes. “Mold and rust have overtaken many surfaces.” Bluejake also has a great shot of the main hall.
