Detroit has some gorgeous hotels. They had more, but the Statler and Madison-Lennox were demolished so they wouldn't look bad for the Super Bowl. I can't wait to see your photographs though, they're always something special.

how many buildings are left to tear down? is anyone documenting this? are they allowing people up there to take pics like press and such? when do you think it will be done? Is the bonner building being taking down as well?

do you know what area of the building this is in? is the floor gone in all of the buildings? i guess they have taken the wood of the windos last week...has anyone seen any pics of this or of the inside lately?

Nothing better than the dishroom on a hot summer day. At least this is a manual, the automatic dishwashers are horrible, because you don't have the break as each set is washed - it's constant hot plates. Looks like it's in pretty good condition, though.

80 million is ridiculous; it can be cleaned up for a lot less than that. The Book-Cadillac building in Detroit was projected at 150 mil for complete renovation, and that's a 1,000+ room hotel many times the size of this. If this building can't be rehabbed, it's because there's no demand for it, not because it can't be done.

The rusted bed discoloured,aged
Made a groan as I layed

Decrepit soul I've become
My body slowly dying numb

Out the window sky so bleak
Barely seen through the streaks

Something stirs beyond the door
Water drips on the floors

My failure catching up with me
Turning hopes to pale dreams

Leave me now as I decay
Rusted to this rotten frame

It would be my guess that the furnaces produced steam for heat and pipes ran it through the entire facility. Then they also used the same steam to produce electricity in the steam engines. Electric pumps for water, coal as the heat source and the place was off the power grid. Just keep trucking in coal and food.
