"Packard Plant-South Building"

 

In spite of the fact that the last car rolled off the assembly line in 1959, a vast majority of the sprawling Packard Plant is still around. It's located in a largely abandoned, desolate part of Detroit. Every few years, it makes the news when someone reveals plans for the historic site. But they are mostly just that. Plans. I've taken a bunch of photos of the plant and plan on doing several more paintings of it. These days, it's mainly a patchwork of boarded up windows and entranceways, and huge gaping holes in the once-proud structure.
