.... I'm going to grow a pair and find out who owns some of these buildings in Detroit and get inside them to see if there are any treasures. This one is a beauty!!! What do you think that pole is worth? It's fluted.

That's pretty cool, who knows, it might not take much and you could own it!

Knowing a bit about Detroit like I do, I'm shocked that the scrappers haven't gotten to that pole already!!

Steve, my guess would be that the city owns it for back taxes, you may want to start there. I'm surprised it hasn't been torn down yet at the rate they're doing demo it Detroit.

I've found 15 or so of these same type and era of buildings down there using google maps. Many just like this one. I had an old posting were I posted pics of many of them but I can't find it. I can't imagine dealing with the city and all that is involved in that.

Steve, you might try to get ahold of that Nicole Curtis(rehab addict on HGTV)... She works with the City of Detroit (I believe her Family still lives in the Detroit area) to rehab some old houses in that area; when they aren't too far gone and worth the work...
If anyone could tell you what kind of "hoops" there are; She and her group could/might be the ones... Or they may be able to direct you to someone who could answer some questions... Get Melissa involved; help redirect her; and your nervous energy... This Hobby, sure has helped me more than a few times; when I felt/feel overwhelmed with my medical problems....
