Fisher Body Plant

I went in the old Fisher Body Plant for the first time the other day. Located at Hastings and Piquette, the building is a crumbling masterpiece of industrial architecture. Forgotten Detroit once again does a better job describing the building's history.

I submit pictures for your consideration:


A fire hydrant outside dates from 1912.




Heading in...




The boss wants you to punch your card AND sign in and out in the lobby.


Auto bodies were raised and lowered on a contraption (the remnants of which can be seen on the floor) through the enormous rectangular hole in the ceiling.






Washroom basins crowd men like dogs; they rinsed blood, sweat and grime.
