5th Precinct Police Station – Detroit
A quick visit to Detroit’s 5th Precinct Police Station for some shots on film.
Packard Plant – Trip 1
The Packard Plant. A Detroit legend. An Albert Khan masterpiece. The building that all of the news stories featured as emblematic of Detroit’s economic downfall.
