There
is definitely a vacancy at the former Seville Apartments
on Second near the Masonic Temple. A water spray dampens
the building to reduce dust from its demolition.

The
Cass Corridor area of Detroit gained its name of approximating
the boundaries of the Lewis Cass farm running north in a strip
between Woodward and 4th Street, now the Lodge Expressway bordered
on the south by the I-75 Expressway and the north by Grand Blvd.
Once
an area containing magnificent apartments and house, it was
devastated in the seventies and eighties era of decline. Now
an area of empty fields, it is prime real estate in Detroit's
nineties boom.
One
of the last of the Corridor's grand abandoned apartments, The
Seville on 2nd Avenue, fell in spring of 1999.
