807 Comments for Studebaker Stamping Plant

Thanks for the pix that I couldn`t take.....The new Studebaker Museum is on Chapin st.now.....Alot of homeless people and scrappers used to live in these buildings.A couple were killed over scrap metal.By the way ...Anyone check out the old Union Station....A friend used to sneak in there ,Before the restaurant was put in ,and there were old cars in the basement....TheMain floor had a hole in it and some concrete was lying on them.....Not sure if they got them out or not before they revamped it for the restaurant.??????

At least more info then I knew before........

Welcome to "FANtasy Island" ROLMAO.....

Wow ,I live around here and i never explored any of the buildings. most are gone now .Dad and my uncle both worked at studebaker,I used to deliver parts to" allied stamping" back in the 70s when it was still in use and A.M.General off chippewa blvd,which built the army trucks(in the 70s)......

This is so cool....but yet why would they just leave everything in such disarray?

Geez David didn't your Mother teach you to clean up your messes?? haha

The way the floor was curved like that reminds me of went to visit my aunt in New York a couple of years ago. There was a lot of rain, and water got under the hardwood flooring causing them to curve upwards like that.

actually the wooden bricks are called cobbles, they were used to absorbed the noise and vibrations made from all the machinery

History Lost, Forever, you can not ever get these files back, once they are lost, no matter what company it was that left them.
Motts, your photography has opened up a whole new thought process for my own photos. Thank you.

i love how the floor is buckling.

it makes it so interesting.

well that's a little depressing.

i don't know if i'd want to prepare for that or not.

They look as if they're reaching their "hands" out to each other. Thanks for a visually inspiring tour!

Your "finds" always make me feel as if the folks who used to occupy these places literally just got up and walked out one day leaving everything "as is" which is why your photography is so thought provoking. With your photos.. you tell the story behind all things abandoned! Thanks...

And now they just sit here.......so many objects and buildings on this planet, just abandoned. Kind of mind boggling isn't it?

What beautiful colors and designs and you captured it all perfectly.......
