It is heart-breaking to see how many buildings in Holyoke have deteriorated to the point of becoming really dangerous. While I would say this is not one of the city’s most notable buildings, it is still interesting. Does anyone remember what this building was in terms of business? Looks like the second and third floors had apartments.<\/p>\n

The location is Main Street, almost on the corner of Main and Hamilton Streets, across the street from the Greek Orthodox Church. Nueva Esperanza, Number 401 Main Street, is next door, on the corner (the building at the far right in the image below). The building has the signage indicating the building is unsafe, important for firefighters to know. There is no roof on this building and the interior is a crumbling mess that looks dangerous and relatively accessible from the rear.<\/p>\n

Closeup of the Door, there is a large hole in the front door, to the left of the handle, you can peer into.<\/p>\n

My husband used his camera to shoot an image of the interior, through the previously mentioned hole in the door.<\/p>\n

Finally, from Bing.com maps you can see the entire roof is gone.<\/p>\n
