Below: The Ford Auditorium was constructed as the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.  However, its inferior acoustics, somber appearance and, ultimately, awkward location which broke of the flow of the riverfront parkland made it a candidate for removal.  The dramatic restoration of the nearly acoustically perfect Orchestra Hall led to the abandonment of Ford Auditorium and nearly two decades of abandonment and decay.
