Michigan Central Station, Detroit
Michigan Central Station in Detroit stands proud and tall at over 18 storeys high. It was formerly a bustling train station, but has come to symbolize the defeat of the city after the auto industry crisis.
The last time it was used was in 1988. Since then, it has become a popular site for graffiti artists and scrap collectors. Almost every window has been smashed, and only a few years ago, officials erected a fence to try and keep out looters.
