Detroit Dry Dock Building by casalvieri

I captured this historic building in Detroit that truly has a lot of history behind it.

The Dry Dock Engine Works-Detroit Dry Dock Company Complex consists of a complex of six interconnected buildings located at 1801–1803 Atwater Street in Detroit, Michigan, as well as the remains of a nearby dry dock at 1900 Atwater Street. The 1801-1803 Atwater complex is also known as the Globe Trading Company Building. The complex is significant as the remnants of Detroit's once considerable maritime manufacturing industry. The earliest structure, an 1892 machine shop, is also significant as an early example of an industrial building entirely supported by its steel frame,^[2] but using traditional brick and standard windows to infill the curtain walls.^[3] The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

The machine shop is an early example of an industrial building which was entirely supported by a rigid structural steel frame, with exterior walls that were merely a curtain around the structure.This building may very well have been the first such structure in Detroit
