Abonded Hotel in Detoit(PICS)
 

This is the eddystone Hotel in detroit, its one of the many hotels that are no longer used but have beautiful architectural design work. This one has lots of homeless people living in it. I'd love to get inside and get some pics though.

homeless people ruin abandoned buildings

fuckers :(

I wonder how much it is to rent an office?

Pretty nice looking. Wonder why it went under.

That looks fantastic, it would be great to put a nightclub or stripclub in there.

Actually, the fact that they get shut down and become abandoned is what ruins them.:2 cents:

that looks awesome

So why's it no longer in use?

I believe the house was place for a triple murder and now noone dares to live their anymore, except the homeless people because they are not actually human anyway.

Um no sorry buddy you are wrong

They tried to sell it when business had gone down and noone bought it, I think it was eventually taken by the bank back in the early 80's and was never used again

Nice architecture.

If you get the opp you should buy some units or the whole building. that is what I did in St Lous 3 years go. They have old textile plants that are vacant. I bought 3 lofts from some group of brothers with very little down. I just sold them a few months ago to another investor and made a bundle. So if you find anything like those pics near the city buy it if you can...

I dont get it
how can a building just become abaonded? Woudnt the owner or next of ken just sell off the land - if it has no value really why not sell it cheap as im sure they pay property tax?

or if no living relatives woudnt the city take over?? i dunno - mind boggling

My thoughts as well. Pete, any idea if it still belongs to the bank? Is it an ill-famed neighbourhood?

if I get to Detroit will have to pull a secret mission and get inside to grab some pics

The building I believe is still owned by the banks, and If they let it go its the city's now, where this hotel is there really isnt much but old houses and bums, its not the worst parts of Detroit but its not the best parts, a lot of detroit has been redone but that the downtown area, the smaller parts of town are stil lold and ragedy, ive been looking at a few sites with pics from detroit today that my buddies own and I am suprised at how many building have been torn down that had historic memories, ill try to post a few more pics, my next post will be the churches of detroit, the arcitectural design was beautiful before the depreession and then they stopped building buildings like they used to.

South Beach was like that 18-20 years ago .... But the location was better :)

turn it into maccas :thumbsup

Looks like the 8th floor tenants had a sterno fire in their kitchen ...

Pete, just pretend to be homeless. Rub some dirt on yourself, bit of oil, rip the clothes and get your ass in there and take some pics!

What for, you dont have to do that to get in there, just walk in and take some pics noone cares, I will do that once it gets nice outside, i wanna go over to the old train station and get some pics also

nice old classic design...

it's a shame to see those buildings go to waste.

Looks interesting - if you gain access...be sure to get some rooftop shots.

Have you been to the BCT (Buffalo Central Terminal) yet? I shot it last summer during the Open Doors Niagara. Even managed to get access to all the closed and restricted areas (except for the tower).

We will try next time, I am waiting for it to get a lil nicer out so I can get out there and ge more pics

Same here...temps took a nosedive last night, jeezus. Even had a little snow earlier this mornin'. :(

Building looks nice from outside... its a pity that they left it like this.. i would love to shoot at the location like that..

"Eddystone Development LLC will use $948,500 in local and state tax capture and a $641,603 brownfield Single Business Tax credit to transform the former Eddystone Hotel into 60 one- and two-bedroom loft-style condos and street-level commercial space accessible from Park Avenue, just north of I-75 in midtown Detroit. The $6.4 million project is expected to create 20 new jobs. The city is expected to designate the area a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone."

SK can you hit me up on ICQ 285458749

I bet they have fucked it up inside. Shame. Looks like it could have been a nice place.

Detroit is finally making a comeback. That was the worst looking city in America for a long time.

"Server failed to add user" :(

Damn icq gremlins...

I'll try again l8ter.

True, but so was Newark for a lotta years. Back in the 70s we had some friends who were social workers in Newark in the projects - and they always had some rather nasty horror stories to pass along whenever we got together.

pretty dull design

Too bad detroit's real estate aiin't booming like so many other cities in the us right now ... you could have made some really nice lofts in there

serious... need some pics from inside :)

Get in there and shoot some homeless content!:winkwink:

Yeah you bought three lofts in St Louis :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Thats why you started a thread on here about the cool new lights you bought a walmart for 10 bucks to shoot your shitty content with in the basement of your mom's house where you live. :1orglaugh

Fucking Tool :321GFY
