Hart Island has a long and storied past. It first began as a training location for the United States Colored Troops during the Civil War. It was also a Union prison camp before being converted into everything from a psychiatric asylum to a tuberculosis sanatorium. New York&#8217;s Hart Island is probably best known for its use as a potter&#8217;s field, or public cemetery. Now part of NYC Parks, plans are in place to remove dangerous aging structures to make the space more accessible to visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/gramercyusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/13735.001.0711-1000x667.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to the asbestos laborers, operators, supers and project management of the Hart Island Team for delivering a successful project, including the demolition and abatement of 18 contaminated buildings and the implosion of the smoke stack.<br><br>This project successfully used barging with tug boats in and out of the site to transport material, equipment and labor to and from the island.\u00a0<br><br>What goes up&#8230;We take down!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In January, 2023, Gramercy safely performed energetic felling of the Hart Island Stack in the northeastern Bronx section of New York City.
