The only thing I don't like about this abandoned Frank Lloyd Wright usonian house is that it's not in Detroit. Of course, if it was in Detroit it wouldn't have any of its original furniture. Or copper plumbing. 


[Bravo to the guys who did restore the Turkel House in Detroit, saved from a fate like that of the Wynant House in Gary, Indiana]

Will be keeping a close eye on this place in case they have a Dirndl Days festival.

I've shared photos of this building before, but I was driving around it the other day and could not figure out what was going on inside. There's this giant sculpted pile of garbage in there that reminded me of that weird nest thing in the new Where the Wild Things Are movie. I was also curious about what this building even was designed to be. It's just one giant room with a whole lot of tinted windows.

I loved the sign, too: ANYONE CAUGHT BREAKING WINDOWS will be prosecuted. That's practically an invitation!
