The Fantastic Ruin of a Modern City

[mbarrick]

What happens when a modern city made wealthy in the first third of the 20th century falls into decay and ruin after nearly half its population moves away? Look at Detroit.

Here's a few of the more spectacular images from the site:


An abandoned, burnt-out mansion.


A railway platform designed for millions of passengers, serving none for decades.


A grand theatre at the base of a skyscraper, serving as a parking lot.
