oh oh domino

Rain and a previous engagement kept us from the Waterfront Preservation Alliance's "Don't Demo Domino" event this past Sunday, held in support of efforts to preserve the former Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg.

A relic of NYC's industrial past, the plant closed in 2004. Its fate remains unknown -- will it be torn down, landmarked, or repurposed as condos (like the Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station in Long Island City -- hey remember when LIC looked like this??)

In the meantime, the site lies abandoned -- a magnet for urban exploration. Check out these interior shots of the plant. (via Curbed)
