Has anyone had a look at the old wooden house from Detroit that has been constructed next to NCPM?

I found it quite interesting. It was built in the 1920's in Detroit and as a result of the decline of the city left it empty for the last 15 years - it is now used as a piece of art.

Looks like it is being taken down this morning so you'll have to be quick if you want to see it.

I had to laugh. Myself and my wife call Sheffield the Detroit of England, their histories are similar. I think they should be twinned.

There is a photo gallery on the BBC South Yorkshire website showing it in different stages of construction, for those that cannot make it down there for a neb.

I saw it as I drove past (although I was mainly concentrating on the road ahead of course ;)). It was very odd - so I'm glad to see someone explain what it was!
