Packard Auto Factory, Detroit, MI

The Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit, built between 1903 and 1911, was once the world’s largest auto factory. After Packard shut down in the 1950s, the 3.5-million-square-foot complex was abandoned and became an enduring symbol of the city’s industrial decline.
