In downtown Detroit, the historic Hudson's department store once stood as a symbol of the city's growth and prosperity.
Before the rise of suburban malls, Hudson's was a prominent feature of the city's landscape, mirroring the opulence of the auto-manufacturing town.
The towering department store... soured with population shifts and economic downturns.
In 1998, the 25-story building was demolished, leaving a void in the city's landscape.
Today, a new development stands on the Woodward Avenue site, featuring a 45-story tower and a 12-story office building, sparking hope for Detroit's revitalization.
