The Brodhead Naval Armory on Jefferson is home to one of Detroit's largest WPA art work, including murals, wood carvings, and plaster carvings. You might remember from last year the plaque outside being ripped out of the wall - now it's happening inside too. A recent walk-through showed that scrappers have begun removing things of value including light fixtures and decorations.









As recently as a few days ago a friend of mine reported that scrappers were working in there removing things.

I've tried to contact the city. I've sent emails to Preservation Wayne and the Detroit Area Deco Society but haven't heard anything back yet. I would have secured the place myself but its a metal door that is open and I don't have the tools / knowhow.

What can be done? Who needs to be contacted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
