It's time to own a unique and historic property in Kingston, NY. Both an abandoned warehouse and a single-family home are coming up for sale, but the city wants to make sure these properties are going to the right people.

The city has issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) to gauge who may want to take on one of the "surplus properties" that have been sitting vacant for over a decade, and tours will be set up soon. Take a look at the intriguing properties below.
