Love Among the Ruins

Here are a few photos from the mysterious, vine covered ruins of the Cornish Estate located in Cold Spring on Hudson. This is one of three ruin sites in the area, and includes extensive remnants of an early 20th century country home, including a main house, driveway, greenhouse, swimming pool, pump house and several outbuildings. There is also a very nice weir and waterfall nearby.

For a more detailed explanation of the ruins, refer to this extensive description by Rob Yasinsac.

Now,--the single little turret that remains On the plains, By the caper overrooted, by the gourd Overscored, While the patching houseleek's head of blossom winks Through the chinks-- Marks the basement whence a tower in ancient time Sprang sublime, And a burning ring, all round, the chariots traced As they raced, And the monarch and his minions and his dames Viewed the games. from Love Among The Ruins, by Robert Browning
