Talk about irony... When this was built, Detroit was all steam and progress and bountiful like the fruit carved into the facade. Now, Detroit is rotting.

When you see all the spray-paint and damage here makes you wonder how the Parthenon, the Pyramids, and other structures like that escaped it...

Temperature and humidity cycling in that area drenches and freezes the interior and all the mortars on a regular basis. Left open with no climate controls, we see the results. Some of the visitors aren't exactly doing the place any favors either.

This doorway makes me feel like you need to have a password or pass some type of test to get in.

Absolutely beautiful..this type of stonework is never seen anymore. As a Historic Preservationist it makes me physically upset that these buildings are left to fall apart...

I'm taking the train from here on out, damn airplanes. You don't see an airport with this kind of beauty in its construction. The advent of the airplane has cost us too much but what else to do, its too late.
