Outbuilding

Two versions of Detroit. One where buildings stand tall and proud, and one where they wilt under the sun. It’s an amazing juxtaposition.

Everything had to be tested before being sent to the front lines. Here’s where smaller ammunition would be test-fired. I was able to dig up several misfired rounds. Now they live in my collection of oddities.

There are 700 of these storage bunkers. Their design was to funnel explosions upward, rather than toward other buildings, to minimize secondary explosions.

Beds line a basement room that is part way between the concepts of inside and outside. Boards and bricks were falling while I was photographing it—stay out.

One of my favorite images from my stay… Note the snowed-over road in the distance! This is looking toward Animas Forks.

This building had the rusty remains of a few mattresses, likely used in the 1940s when this site was last occupied.

Trees between duplexes overshadow the buildings they were planted to shield; revenge for the boards on the windows.

Looking out of the biggest cave into the shell of the burned brewery, almost 125 years after it was destroyed by fire.

A view of the Harris offices, complete with great block glass.
