- An urbex exploration on the Flint fisher body plant administration building, address 4300 South Saginaw Rd located in Flint Michigan. This is a 60,000 SF office building now for sale for at $851,000. This structure has set abandoned for years built in 1924 as the Headquarters for Durant Motors at one point to be later known as the fisher body plant administration.
Founder was William C. and the building has 3 stories with a typical floor size of 22,949 SF. In this video I document the decay and the abandonment of what's left of this condemned peace of general motors history. Left with only busted windows and doors open for anyone brave enough to enter.

My Grandpa spent 40 years at Fisher Body in Flint before retiring. He called it Ternstedt. The pay was good in those days as he raised a family of 6. His contributions still exist today as he helped me purchase the home I live in and raised my family of 6. He lived for another 30 years to the ripe old age of 95 even though he was a platter and expected to get cancer from the chemicals. He platted the chrome bumpers using nickel, zinc and other materials bad for your health. I miss those days and miss my grandpa.
It didn't use to be a bad area. I was born in Flint 1951 and lived there until 1964. It wasn't a bad town until Buick, Chevy, Fisher Body, AC Spark Plug, Dupont and others shut down. We could play outside and just have to be home before dark. It's not safe there, anymore. The city died.
Not sure what they'll probably do with it but yeah it's a shame how they all just ended up abandoning the people of Flint one by one. Makes me want to watch a documentary on how and why they shot down. I think I can understand that it was definitely about one thing, the big wigs getting more money for people to work elsewhere.
@@AcoraWhite Hello, thanks for your video on the Fisher Body Administration Building. It's likely you already watched it, but just in case you haven't, Michael Moore makes documentaries, one of which is about General Motors. It's set in the 1980s and explains operational changes at General Motors.
@@oliverrojas3185 I will have to check that one out. I know I've had seen some throughout the years like on TV probably not that one but it sounds interesting! Thanks! ☺️
When you walk into the front door there is a huge staircase in the lobby. It is so pretty.
That's awesome I never had the chance to go inside in its glory. Hopefully somebody stops it from getting beyond repair and restoration.
This breaks my heart. I was so proud of our city as a child. We were the Car/Truck capital of the world and a growing metropolis. It has all died and withered away. So sad what we have let it become. All I can say is "Voting Matters"...

Good video!!! 🇺🇸
I grew up with a 2 mile area of that building. My mom used to work on the south side of the main building.
That's awesome, what year did she work there.
I had counseling there right behind the abandoned administration building. Not sure if they still have counseling there though.
This place went to hell real fast. This is the one on Saginaw right? I remember driving by it all the time then in 2020 they put a for sale sign up. Next thing you know broken out windows started appearing.. really sad so many people can't just explore without breaking things
Yes it's right next to I think a medical place and I agree people love to vandalized places especially in Flint. Yeah it's pretty sad how some people are. There probably some young wanna be gangster teens that thinks the world evolves around them, oh! I can do what ever I want and get away with it. Some places I couldn't even go to because you would think they own the place, it being tagged in graffiti.
I know I really hate that when kids go in and Destroy things that's how I always felt about the old Reid Hospital in Indiana can mention that now because it's torn down but when I first had going in that building back in 2014 there were some rooms that look like they just turned off the lights and clocked out and went home for the day
Well the grass is been cut ?
It dont look bad at all
Enjoyed your vid,keep up the good work
A lot of history...site of the first sit down strike..Fisher Body. Manufactured car bodies before shipping off to become a full vehicle. You are at the administration building, the actual plant was demolished.
Yeah I remember reading an article about that sit-down strike that they actually had to turn the heat off in the building to get the workers to leave
It's a shame. I worked in buildings F & G when Fisher Body was turned into a engineering center and renamed Mid Lux North.
The main office building of Fisher 1..Each plant had its own main office building..
I know they have a big Fisher body plant in Detroit abandoned. Is this the office in flint for that plant.
@@AcoraWhite No, this was the main office for Fisher 1 that made bodies for the buick plant in Flint...they made the sheet metal bodies here and then trucked them across Flint to be finished up at Buick..Plant 17 and 21 were Fisher Body plants in Detroit..They did the same thing in Detroit as they did here in Flint..Fisher body in Detroit would build the sheet metal bodies and then they would go to the Cadillac plant to be finished...I worked for Fisher Body in Grand Blanc Michigan..We made sheet metal parts for all of the GM car lines...
@@bigstuff52 Thank you for the info, now some people can know some history like myself. I was always fascinated by Gm and Buick automobiles that they don't make anymore lol. My grandad had an old gm book I found in the basement that I wish I would have still had.
you're welcome...@@AcoraWhite
Actually, I thought this building had been designated a historical landmark.
This is an interesting post.
The Admin. Bldg. was demolished over 10 years ago. The bricks were sold for $1.00 apc.
But, who cares.
It's the web and content is often nonsense.
Yikes.......... Norman Bates!! Mother Mother........😵😵💫🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Not exactly sure what that is supposed to mean here.
iI thought the administration building on Saginaw St was now a heath center ? haven't been by there in years but my aunt said everything was torn down but it . Fisher 1 was Gigantic in it's day my Dad started there in 1924 before transferring to Fisher Body in Grand Rapids. This can't be the same building as the health center ????
I think it was once part of the fisher body administration because I use to go to therapy at some part of the building. A lady told me that it use to be part of the fisher body. Not sure if they made cars in the bigger portion. Now it's a health center and probably have been modified.
@@AcoraWhite I haven't been to Flint in years so i google map the street and i see your right that is the same admin . build left of the old Fisher 1 plant for sale and crumbling how sad . sadly all of Flint is crumbling from what it once was as all those GM plants ran 24/7 and at night my Dad would drive us past Fisher, Buick City , Chevy in the hole and AC all lit up. my Aunt lived off Davidson & Franklin so we would sit on her porch and listen to the trains over at AC all night long . such a sad fate 🤨
@@sailawaybob it really is all crumbling, it's like that syne you don't know what you got until it's gone. Today is just to bleak and or doll. Nothing new seems to have that thrill as it once did as time is moving forward.
Is this on Saginaw st?? I used to work nearby at what used to be the diplomat pharmacy building.
Yes it's on Saginaw between Atherton and hemphill.
Um that’s Detroit lol
Yeah! it's just the mini general motor meca of the D but most of the factory's were torn down in Flint.
