2. Inwood Salt Shed
On 301 West 215th St. and 9th Ave. by the Harlem River, the Manhattan 12 Department of Sanitation garage is also home to a salt storage facility.
Although this shed definitely looks more standard compared to the others on this list, this Inwood location is recognized in general because of its three massive smokestacks, which are part of a decommissioned DSNY “destructor plant” that opened in 1934. While they no longer operate, they once incinerated 7,500 tons of New York City garbage on a daily basis, coughing up lots of soot and smoke in the process.
