This photo from 2008 shows the boarded-up first and second floors and broken windows on the third floor. Urban explorers broke into and photographed abandoned buildings in Detroit (several websites are devoted to their photographs and videos), and vandals painted graffiti on the windows of Lafayette and other so-called ghosts of Detroit. ?
