These are the sunlit, dilapidated ruins of James Scott's imposing mansion. It was built in 1887 and designed by the firm of Mortimer Smith & Sons, progenitor of today's Smith Group architectural firm.

 

Mr. Scott provided the funds for the Scott Fountain and James Scott sculpture at Detroit's island park, Belle Isle.
