Abandoned!
Michigan Central Station was built in 1913 in Detroit to create a new public transportation hub. Several planning oversights and mistakes, however, led to its gradual decline and closing in 1988. The building’s fate is still being decided, but in the meantime, the station has appeared in several films and videos, including Eminem’s “8 Mile” film and “Beautiful” music video.
It was last used by Amtrak in 1988 and has been vacant until its recent acquisition by Ford Motor Company in 2018.
