The Gates of Hell (Glenwood Power Plant)

The Glenwood Power Plant was built in the early 20th Century in order to electrify the New York Railroad. It was later abandoned in the 1960s. After many years of degradation due to this neglect, the site became a hotspot for graffiti writers to oractice and display their work undisturbed. It became known as the Gates of Hell. The Gates remained in this condition until 2012 when the property was purchased by a real estate development group. Through a timeline, this Omeka site will track the history and social memory of the Gates of Hell as it has affected the different groups connected to it.
