Fibre- not like asbestos

One day I took a trip out to Detroit, I was on route to explore some ruined buildings that were on demolition-priority. This specific building was a factory that made car parts, things like car seats and lining, of fiberous content.

Unfortunately, the majority of the facility had been torn down, a large section with steel-trussing, supporting skylights, had been scrapped sometime in 2010.


The office building was completely gutted, but I was surprised to find some intact windows within the building. Usually these would've been shattered.


I don't know when, but the building was turned into a "Nitro Graphics" though I have no information on this business, as it shortly closed in 2009.


A neighboring room had a few skylights intact, though sadly all of the grid-windows had been ripped out a couple years ago.


The whole place had fancy art-deco architecture, with intricate and bichromatic masonry, mixed with the classic concrete industrial grids.


I didn't really explore the other end of the facility, the rooms were mostly just white pillars, separated by intact, steel-trussed 'skylight rooms', and about as empty as the first building.


It was cool seeing this building, knowing the city is going to tear it down. I only get so many opportunities.
