Roadtrip: Detroit
This is Detroit, in all it’s glory. Though these photos mostly showcase the cities decay, I was amazed at the resilience of the city and those that inhabit it.
Most of the following photos were taken in the abandoned Packard plant.
Designed by famous Michigan Architect Albert Khan, the Packard Plant represents an early example of what would become standard Detroit industrial architecture, and came in the early years of what would be a prodigious career for Khan. He would go on to design buildings for Ford and GM, as well as many for the University of Michigan. Having ceased major operations in 1958, the Packard Plant sits as a relic, a poignant reminder of Detroit’s faded industrial might.
