Detroit Public School Book Warehouse

Also known as the Roosevelt Warehouse,the Detroit Public Schools Book Depository is a vacant building that it was originally a Post Office before being used as the Public Schools' surplus equipment depository.

The building caught fire in 1987. The fire and efforts to extinguish it heavily damaged much of the supplies inside, which included science and sports equipment, scissors, crayons, and books, many still unused and in their original wrapping. After the fire the building was abandoned, along with all of the equipment, much of which was undamaged and still usable.

Over the years the building and its contents has been heavily vandalized and further damaged by scrappers. The building remains standing, the decaying materials within, as of January 2012.

In 2009 the frozen corpse of a transient was found in an elevator shaft. It took 24 hours before the authorities responded to recover the body.

Depressing. So much of Detroit is a wasteland.
