Without any leaves on the trees, it’s easier to see how far gone Admiral’s Row in the Brooklyn Navy Yards really is. The city is planning to demolish 9 of the 11 historic structures to build a supermarket and parking lot, the latter being a particularly poor use of the space. For a glimpse of what Admiral’s Row looked like before being neglectfully abandoned to the elements, check out the interior photos that Jake Dobkin shot last year.

Interesting set – as well as those interior photos you link to.
Great Admiral’s Row captures — I’ve taken a few shots of the buildings over the past few years, but hadn’t thought to shoot from the other side of the street, yours look great with the curb in the foreground for context.
