Summary The shuttered buildings are scattered all over Cook County, Illinois, and the city of Chicago: Beautiful churches with colorful stained glass; a moldy medical clinic that still has all its machinery; a funeral home with everything still left inside. Doshen gives readers a glimpse inside these and other decaying, haunting places and makes us question why some were so quickly left behind. Many will sit for sale in hopes of being used again or hopefully renovated into something different. Brief text accompanies the photographs of sketchy floors, dark hallways, and flooded basements that Doshen shares.
