RIP Michigan Central Depot

Michigan Central Depot

Train stations are my favorite kind of building, especially old ones. I love monumental civic architecture, and association with transit makes it all the better. Wherever I go I’m sure to check out the train station.

What a loss, then, that Detroit will soon tear down its once-magnificent main station. In virtually any other city in America this sort of thing stopped happening decades ago.
