Thank you Motts for another stellar gallery!

Very beautiful building. They don't build them like this anymore.

Anything from Detroit is tops in my book. Great to see another gallery!

The tiles were removed, their was also a drop ceiling. They were probably in good shape when they were taken. Removal started in the center of the room, then everything was pushed to the center of the room to gain access to the rest of ceiling. With the age of this structure, the original ceiling tiles were probably a decorative metal and fetched a pretty penny for someone. Although this is a prison, the offices were built to impress.

They are taken off to prevent someone from accidentally or intentionally locking someone in. The doors are also extremely heavy which is why no one has taken them for scrap. If they were taken for scrap, depending on where they are taken would be a red flag to the buyer.

Good to see word from Celeste, Wanderer & Stax. As Wanderer posted all quiet on the Bennett info. Very quiet.

Partially frozen that could be a death trap in winter for exploring kids.. I can not even think about it.

Yep, beauty school, I think. Wig/mannequin. I think upper right is the "neck". Clamps to the counter top.

This place has an "abandoned beauty school" vibe. Nice gallery Mr. M... Thank You!

Absolutely gorgeous picture! Your photography skills are great.

Never to downplay Mott's talent or this site I can't get enough of, but for more of Detroit you can take a look at forgottendetroit.com The content hasn't been updated in a while (and a couple of the buildings have since been restored) but it covers some amazing buildings and several theatres which are one of my passions. The site isn't mine and I don't have anything to do with it.

There are even hair-pins.

Neat photo & a great catch too. Love it, Motts.

N, so, file that under, unsatisfied?
