Lost Detroit is the theme of at least one of two recent photo books of some of the ruins of Detroit. This Friday I decided to go down to the Boston Edison district to an estate sale. The area has some beautiful houses but many of these large houses are under serious disrepair. This house was advertised as being under three generations of hoarders. I am sure their were many treasures there but it was so crowded with people and books that it was hard to look. I did buy an old ring they said was from Italy and a plaster lion that is on my porch. The people who lived there were readers, loved movies and were amateur painters. But it was very sad to see a house that had fallen into such disrepair.
The first picture is of the house next door, the second is what used to be the gutters on the house, the third the walls up to the attic and the fourth the basement window,
