Funneh. Whomever owned that area was both humourous and cheeky. I like

A radiator in every cubicle. And that wood gives off a massive 70's vibe.

Sabra? What was the hummus company doing there? (I joke, I joke). And I assume most, if not all, of those business' are no longer so that makes the simple business card that much more special.

Where all the radiators go to die....

I feel those stairs in the back would be quite cramped if two people tried to get off them at the same time. There is barely any room at all!

Blame the radiation. Probably killer mutant plants ready to infect Detroit

Brothers in abandonment, equal in beauty.

Are the windows stained green or did someone paint them over? And it seems the exterior elegence hasn.t translated so well on the interior

It is such a shame to see such beatiful craftsmanship rot away like this. Detroit is chock full of gorgeous buildings, most of which are in the sorriest state imagineable...it is rather depressing

That one large building in the background (the one to the left of the white one) looks burned out. Or really, really dirty. I'm guessing it too is abandoned?

Reminds me of buildings still in use in Downtown Oakland Ca.

the drop ceiling panels look like beehive sections and that short radiator looks a bit like a doggy.

I used to hear stories of the workers that used to paint these Radium dials and watch hands. They would put the tip of the brush on their tongue to moisten it and keep the bristles together, then dip the brush in the Radium; paint a little, then repeat the process. So by the end of their shift their tongue would have so much Radium on it, it would glow in the dark. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but as an artist myself I can see it happening. This of course was long before we knew the dangers of this.

I think you might go back to London one day,, I would appreciate a tour guide.. Here is a link to a story re: 890 Park Avenue. The only remaining 1 of 3 James Ware designed. I wish there would of been pictures. http://www.nytimes.com...alling-fortunes.html

I believe the Mystery Machine is a postal paper tape dispenser as the
bottle in the picture holds the water to wet the tape activating the glue
in order for it to stick to the box.
