Michigan Theater, Detroit
The once-opulent Michigan Theater was built on Henry Ford’s original workshop in downtown Detroit in 1926. It included 4000 seats and seven stories, and cost a whopping $5 to build. It closed in 1967 and beginning in the late 1970s has been used as a parking lot – quite a fall from its former glory.

Dome Homes, Marco Island, Florida
These futuristic looking dome homes in Marco Island, Florida were built by a retired oil tycoon who wanted these to be an eco-friendly vacation home option. However, difficult weather led to eroding shorelines which meant the homes became unlivable. There are no plans to try to repurpose the domes, but they do look a little like Florida’s version of Stonehenge.
