I've been going here for about 8 years now and it never gets old. I've explored every floor and got some of my best photography work here. I did a showcase in the DIA a few years ago called Decadence
We were down for the investment dinner put on by Crain's Detroit on 09/13/17. They light the building up with different colors, very nice.

A majestic of an abandoned building. Wonder what it will become.
They've started retrofitting it and it's closed to the public, they've bordered up the under the bridge entrance and have commercial security on the worksite.
Wonderful place! Ford made a great work restoring this city jewel.
Can visit and look from outside!
Amazing architecture , sad that it's in such bad shape.

Designed by the same architects who created New York City 's Grand Central Station.
One of the greatest urban ruins of all time...just wish they would put together a fund to save it.
Still very beautiful, came in on a train when I was 9.
hulking behemoth
Break in by going under the bridge . We walked all the way to the roof. My foursquare pic is me on top of the roof.
Look for the no trespassing signs!
My Great Grandfather worked here in the 1918 days
I don't think there's been a time when this place has been empty. There is always someone near or in it
You're not a Detroiter unless you've gone urban exploring.
