Detroit’s Abandoned Buildings: A Photo Tour
Two journalists documented the Motor City’s bizarre beauty by venturing into some once proud — but now forgotten and decaying — landmarks.

1. The United Artists Theater Auditorium was once as much of an attraction as the films it showed, but the building has been abandoned for 37 of its 82 years. Jennifer Aniston, behold your future.
2. The Detroit Grand Ballroom was once, uh, grand. But the only entertainment it features now are crackheads tripping over chunks of ceiling.
3. When Cass Tech High School was abandoned by Detroit’s public-school system, the district left behind everything from desks to test tubes to musical instruments. Funnily enough, this is also how most people picture operational Detroit public schools.
4. The 14-story Wurlitzer Building was once a monument to the dynamic music industry in Detroit. Now it’s more of a monument to half-assed graffiti artists.
