Plenty of large buildings to explore. Excellent for photography. 2-3 of the structures have been repurposed and are locked up tight, so don't ruin it for everyone else by messing with those...

No security—park next to each building and walk right in

Researching the history of Troy's industrial sites can be a bit confusing, especially when what little I have been able to do is from home via computer. Many factory sites changed hands over time, old buildings were torn down, new buildings constructed. But from what I have been able to gather here is that this coke plant, built to manufacture gas, was built by the New York Power and Light Corporation (later overtaken by Niagara-Mohawk) in 1924 at a cost of six million dollars. Today, the property serves as a bus depot. Source: http://www.hudsonv...ac/troy/troy2.html
