Fingerle Lumber Company had been in business since 1931, supplying local builders with the raw materials found in many Ann Arbor homes. I’d walk past the site daily on my way to and from my office, the yard bustling with forklifts hauling stacks of 2x4s and plywood. Since the sale of the property in 2019 it became a ghost town in the middle of the city, its long sheds eerily quiet and empty. That’s when these pictures were taken. The site has since become the practice field of the Michigan Marching Band. Beyond documenting the remnants of a once venerable local business, these photographs function much like a builder’s blueprint: two dimensional representations of three dimensional spaces, suggesting structural form through line, shape, and shadow.
