Brewer Salvage & Page Rd., Jackson

Page Road in Jackson is pretty blighted, the road has become a sort of highway, and many companies have gone out of business in a domino effect of bankruptcy. Nobody wants to come out this far

This corrugated sheet metal warehouse was called Brewer Salvage



From online reviews, the company wasn't favored and got a lot of negative feedback from their customers.


The scrap sheds seemed to have all been recently abandoned, all that's left is the structure


On a neighboring property, I have no clue what it is


This dusty shed was clearly used to store doors and wood planks


Further down Page Road is this old farm market that might be able to be put back to use


The old green house has completely been taken down, and plants are growing through the floor. Not a good sign for a business like this.

Michner Plating Co, Jackson

       At 520 Mechanic St. is a building that is over 100 years old, the structure was constructed for a company called SM Isbell Seed. Isbell's Seeds was a grain/seed/bean refining business that was located in that city.  This building is very noticeable due to its odd-shaped roofs and fiberglass windows, and recently it's weight in graffiti, but this post is not about that structure. It is about Michner Plating, the ones who expanded the site. There are 2 sections, both owned by the city, a different, three-story building was the former Isbell Seed complex, but I recently found ways in and will probably go there sometime... Part 1 (Free entry) This was the first time I got in, through a door somebody had knocked in back in 2018. There was barely any graffiti inside due to how shut-up it was. I went through a (now blocked) hole in a fence by the railroad. On the right is a loading bay door, letting in light. Notice the windows? The complex was expanded multiple...

W.H. Anderson Tool & Supply Co. Warehouse, Detroit

Image
The Rivertown-Warehouse District is full of old buildings. Many of the hundreds of brick factories from its era have been demolished years ago. This was one of the old companies that used to operate in the area, once a quite large company, yet now defunct. The exterior was obviously in very bad condition, anybody could just walk in, it seems. It had been like this for years now too. The street had a my undeniably favorite view of the Renaissance center. The warehouse seems to blend in so well with the rest of the buildings in this developed area, that it was often overlooked. The main warehouse room was full of pretty nice furniture, perfect place for any homeless person on the streets; and it also had these weird Tibetan prayer flags put up These are some interesting steel boxes, made for stacking. The ones on the left with the wheels remind me of mine-carts  Parallel to the main warehouse was a long hallway room, which had this mini gantry crane just above my head, luckily it had...

Peerless Cement, Detroit

  Peerless cement was an aggregate cement manufacturing company, this was the Detroit location. Sometime in the 2010's a large portion of buildings, the smokestack and the rotating pipes were demolished for space. It was a hot summer day, we had to walk about 8 minutes to this old cement plant, in that heat. That's the DWSD water treatment plant, they were incinerating scum and such today, giving off a stench of trash and synthetic waste. Overall not a fun walk. The ruins of a storage company were to the right of the rails, a graffiti-covered building made of reinforced-concrete and brick The half-decaying but still operational St. Mary's Cement plant can also be spotted from the rail side These silo doors are supposed to be big enough to allow trains to pass through, hence the gargantuan entrance These tubes could be extended for filling of train cars possibly, in fact one of them was extended Have you ever seen a ten story spiral staircase? This is the aggregate storage s...
