Reverting to the city, it had no where to go but down, and down it went. Scrappers moved in--ahhh, you know the rest.
I also did that tour and thought the building was not only in remarkable condition, but could be made useful. I'm sorry to hear it's in such a sorry state now. The way of our City government. I think the whole "Gateway To Belle Isle" thing is a pipe dream.
