Designed by architect Louis Kamper in the 1920's, the tower was open for action in 1926. Bookie's Tavern was the last business the tower grasped back in 2009 before finally moving locations. Plans for renovation have come and gone but it looks like a plan for apartment and commercial use is most realistic for the tower's future.

Used as a Detroit news headquarters since 1916, the old home of The Detroit Free Press has been closed since 1998. Plans to use the building for condos and apartments was proposed in 2010 but the plans fell through. No known proposals for the Albert Kahn-designed building have emerged since the building was auctioned off for just over 4 million dollars in 2013.

The 15-story building originally used for various shops and offices has been empty since 1977. Once notoriously known as the "Jeweler's Building" for all of its jewelry related purposes, the Metropolitan Building should really be known as the "Metro-passionate Building" for its mysterious heart signs in the windows. Work to renovate the building took place in early September but what's to come with the property is still unknown.

The oldest surviving theater in Detroit is in the hands of who else but Dan Gilbert. Another building designed by architect Albert Kahn, the National Theater has been standing since 1911. The theater was sold to a man with the intentions to turn the theater into a restaurant in 1977, but things didn't work out. The city of Detroit claimed it back in the 1980's and it's currently awaiting renovations under Gilbert's ownership.

Once the location of the administrative offices and court rooms of Wayne County, the Old Wayne County Building is now merely a beautiful landscape in Detroit. Constructed from 1897 to 1902, the building served as the county's headquarters until 2007 when the commission decided to move to the "bigger" Guardian Building, also in downtown Detroit.

The Farwell building was the residence for many offices when it opened in 1915. Located in Detroit's Capitol Park, the building closed its doors in 1984. However, renovations into an apartment building are scheduled to start next year.

Built in 1922, the Albert Kahn-designed structure is a beautiful mess. Located next to the late Hotel Charlevoix, the future for this historic building is troublesome. The Park Avenue Building is likely for demolition unless the building is cleaned with new plans proposed. A petition to keep the building alive is circulating the Internet.

Neighboring the majestic Masonic Temple, the Fort Wayne Hotel building has been sitting patiently and quietly since it was shut down in the 1990's. Built in 1926 and eventually renamed the American Hotel, the next step for this ditched building is unknown.

This mysterious edifice has been squished between the Fillmore Theater and another prestigious looking building for probably a very long time. How long you might ask? We don't know. Information on this house-looking building is impossible to find! It was, however, probably built before the Fillmore was finished in 1925. Besides that....it'd be a killer location to live in, as long as you enjoy your neighbors playing music extremely loud on a nightly basis.

Mystery lurks around the Blenheim Building on Park Avenue as well. It's unclear when it was built exactly but it was most likely between 1905 to the 1920's. Documents claim it to have been apartments but others believe it was used for manufacturing purposes. Its neighbor, the Detroit Life Building, closed in 1977 and you can assume the same for the Blenheim.

The former lodge for the Loyal Order of Moose Club has stood vacant for decades. A lodge where Henry Ford most likely made appearances has no apparent plans for renovations. The Ilitch-owned property did seem to receive spurts of renovation in 2013 but the fate of the building is currently up in the air.

Both designed by Detroit architect Louis Kamper, The Eddystone and Park Avenue Hotel are two common citings while driving on Woodward Ave towards anything downtown. They both opened in 1924, but The Park Avenue Hotel outlived its partner. The Eddystone closed sometime in the 90's while Park Avenue was closed in 2003. Once structures owned by businessman Lew Tuller, they have now become buildings in the way of Mike Illitch's vision for the Red Wings' new arena.
