Brodhead Armory

Brodhead Armory. Built in 1930, designed by William Buck Stratton, with priceless W.P.A. art on the interior, and glazed exterior tile work by Buck Strattons wife, Mary Chase Perry – founder of Pewabic Pottery.

Now closed and awaiting total destruction.

I wouldnt exactly call this building “wide open”, but it certainly has been breached after its official closing.

[detroitfunk adds: Here is a photo from the post I did years ago on the last open day of the Armory – notice the pristine condition of the parquet flooring]
