Detroit has perhaps some of the most beautiful architecture in the United States. There are soaring roof lines, stunning details, and decay. The poor town has lost thousands and thousands of residents, so some of the most gorgeous homes are sitting empty … slowly succumbing to the forces of nature.
It would be so nice if investors could figure out how to restore this dying city. Reclaimed Homes has some thoughts on Detroit and I can’t say they’re wrong,
As an historic building enthusiast, I’d like to see these structures saved. As an environmentalist, I say let nature take it back. We’re always tearing down trees and destroying natural habitats. Well, let the city become a forest. It’s been abandoned anyway.
There are so many dying towns in America right now. I suppose it’s like the ghost towns of the old Wild West, only it’s the Wild Midwest, Wild South, Wild Northeast, etc.
