The Packard  Plant is a former automobile-manufacturing factory in Detroit, Michigan where luxury Packard cars were made by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan. Scavengers have extensively stripped the buildings of wiring and other building materials. In one notorious case, a bunch of vandals pushed a dump truck off of the fourth floor.

Despite no longer being up-kept due to disuse, the structures remain mostly intact as of 2013. Portions of the upper floors of several small sections in various buildings have collapsed or been partly demolished and lay in ruins in the wake of several aborted attempts at demolition over the years. Owing to the reinforced concrete construction, almost all but those small sections remain structurally sound.

This is one of my favorite locations to visit in Detroit! You always end up running into people & photographers from all  over the world here!
