Early 1900s New York industrial brick walls with soot, steel reinforcements, and faded advertisements

This series captures the raw aesthetic of early 20th-century industrial buildings in New York City. The dark red brick walls are weathered, soot-stained, and marked by remnants of faded painted advertisements. Cracked mortar and exposed steel reinforcements reflect decades of urban decay and resilience. Long twilight shadows cast across the gritty surfaces amplify the atmosphere of forgotten alleyways, evoking the urban grunge of a bygone industrial age.
