The Only Thing Constant Is Change

The houses in Brush Park, located just off Woodward Avenue in Detroit, are all very large and each one is unique. Most were built between 1891 and 1911, and unfortunately are in a state similiar to this one. Up until World War I this was the rich, elite area of Detroit. With the onset of the war a great deal of these mansion were subdivided into apartments. When the Boston Edison area became the new "elite" area in the early 20's, the care of these buildings decreased until they were no longer useable and left in the condition that you see here. A few have been renovated, but it is nowhere near the original 300 houses and 42 mansions that used to be here. There are even a few currently for sale, including one recently completely modernized on the inside and listing for ( a little too high in my estimation ) $2.5 million.

Thanks to Pink Sherbert Photography ( D. Sharon Pruitt ) for the use of the extremely cool texture to complete the mood. Texture is here: www.flickr.com/photos/pinksherbet/3042108136/in/set-72157...
