6. Brooklyn Navy Yard Salt Shed

The Department of Sanitation is among many tenants that occupy the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one of the nation’s “most storied naval shipbuilding facilities” that has been transformed into a thriving commercial and manufacturing hub. Today, it’s home to companies specializing in industries ranging from media communications to metal fabrication.

Flickr user roccocelli has produced a perfectly balanced image of the salt shed there, which is located on Kay Street, next to Pier K. It’s the major structure on the DSNY occupied site, which was formerly home to the Nassau Works Manufactured Gas Plant.
