I also grew up in Detroit, and I remember when these structures were still in use. Coming back in 2020 has been a very interesting and eerie feeling as the world deals with a pandemic which actually feels a bit apocalyptic at times. Detroit is evolving into a new, different place. That is fun to see, but also there are so many places I knew as a child that are simply gone or so dilapidated, it defies logic!!

The music sounds a little like a Vangelis song from Blade Runner. Just an FYI. Also, I see some people commented on the "Wheel" you discovered. It is for washing hands, also most of those have a round metal tube near the floor that fits around the wash basin so workers can step on the tube to turn on the water instead of turning a faucet with hands that may be greasy.

This plant had multiple uses in the 60’s And 70’s. It was where the lo Iimo bodies were made by modifying standard Cadillac bodies. It was also used as a pilot line for final assembly of new products prior to production runs. They also made welding guns. There was also a trim repair facility and repair parts shop.

I will absolutely be back to Detroit. My family and Detroit go back many generations. I grew up there my parents did and so don my grandparents on my moms side. On my dads side he moved to Detroit to work as an engineer at Chrysler the. Am general (gm military division) where he designed the original hummer) the. He worked at ford headquarters before quitting and going insane. I love Detroit and my parents remember Detroit rising to its peek in the 60s and how great it was. Sadly I was born when Detroit was already destroyed. However since moving to Ohio in 2016 Detroit has been making huge improvements and I can’t wait to document it and share it with the world. Thanks for supporting my work. Glad people are finally seeing Detroit for what it is. A great city not just ghetto.

the round thing is a wash basin there was a ring around it near the floor that you stepped on and water would stream into the basin and you washed up

Maybe the wheel was a wash station to wash hands turned on by foot pedals..I could be wrong. The best city in America born In Detroit the city’s roots run deep. You can feel the realness of the Motor City 🙏🏽check out the Detroit Museum Detroit runs in our blood the ones before us pushed hard by sweat and hard work and tears. God Bless
