This is a video shot by Gary Schwartz while giving some friends the "Urban Decay" tour of Detroit. There are amazing homes like this across our nation that are being neglected . . . while we complain about the demise of the home "construction" market. There is plenty of work to be done restoring America's old homes and making them energy efficient. Homes should give back more than they take.
According to the DetroitYes.com "A DetroitYES Forum favorite, the William Livingstone House was demolished on Saturday September 15, 2007. The house was not only famous for its long tortured decline, it was also renowned as the first commission by a young [later to be superstar] architect Albert Kahn during his tutelage with Mason and Rice Architectural firm."
