Abandonment is actually what is happening. S A slow abandonment.
There are some videos of the old train station in Detroit from the era when passenger trains were a big deal. I guess this place was like a huge palace back in the day.
It is huge. People sneak in and explore. It looks like that girl “Kid of Speed” who did photos of the area in Chernobyl.
Detroit has all these abandoned office buildings downtown. One video has people going through them. One was an office for a stock brokerage firm and it looks like in the early 1970s they just closed one day and left everything there. Just like Chernobyl - people one day just fled.
Very very creepy.
My brother had quite a few pieces, old barrister bookcases, a large conference table with the matching chairs and he filled his condo in Philly with what came out of the depot...I have a beautiful 7 piece hutch he gave me, 2 pieces are shelves, one piece has large narrow drawers for railroad plats and engineering plans, it has another piece that has 2 doors, the top has a beautiful cornice and the whole thing sits on a bottom piece. There are locks between each section to hold it as one piece. The locks are hidden within the bottom of each section...it has a brass name plate, but I have not found the company anywhere on the internet...quite unique. It stands 7 foot tall...
I have never seen another one like it. The shelves are a set back from the pieces on the bottom...Also have the key that locks the doors and drawers up....
What wasn't taken by the employees was just left behind for the vandals to destroy. Probably worth quite a bit of money to a collector, but just busted up....
There is a web site that takes you through the depot as it is and some pictures of as it was....what a waste...
