Vacant Since 2005, See Inside this Abandoned Apartment in Troy

The long standing John P. Taylor public housing complex, which has long stood overlooking the Hudson River in Troy, will cease to be part of the city skyline this summer. Plans are to demolish the buildings and put up a new modern apartment in its place.

The complex was built in the 1950's and operated as a public housing facility until about 2009. It's been shuttered and abandoned ever since. Clearly, thanks to neglect, weather related issues, and vandals, the buildings have suffered some damage over the last decade or so. However, there is still some history that remains throughout the building.

Some rooms have furniture remaining, while another showcases some child murals on its walls. For the most part, the structure appears to be intact but inside is pretty ravaged with peeling paint, water damage, and vandalism. The one redeeming quality is perhaps the pretty incredible views of Troy and the Hudson River when you get on the roof.

These urban explorers take us on a journey from the first floor to the roof in the photos and videos below.
