Designed by noted architect Albert Kahn, Fisher Body Plant 21 was built for The Fisher Body Company in 1919 to manufacture Buick and Cadillac bodies. General Motors and Fisher Body merged in 1926, and General Motors eventually closed Plant 21 in 1984.
The plant did see some use beyond 1984 as several paint companies set up shop, but this didn't last long. The plant was completely vacated in 1994, and has sat empty since then.
Despite it's appealing location and over a million dollars in cleanup, the site is still considered contaminated by the EPA and while available for purchase and renovation has not found a buyer.
