About us

BuildingsofDetroit.com is a two-person effort by historian, author and photographer Dan Austin and photographer Sean Doerr to spread awareness of Detroit's architectural history. The site has existed at the present domain since May 2006 but dates back to about 2004. By documenting buildings - both past and present day - we hope to raise awareness about preservation of our history and our landmarks, as well as bring attention to the threats to our city's architectural heritage, such as looting, vandalism, and demolition by neglect. Feel free to contact us here with comments, concerns and suggestions.

The look of BuildingsofDetroit.com would not have been possible without the hard work of Janel Yamashiro on Web development; the skilled design touch of John Cassidy on graphics and branding; and Drupal open source.
