01
Artifact Overview
From 1884 to 1913, the Michigan Central Railroad served Detroit from this depot at the corner of Third and Jefferson Avenues. In combination with the opening of its tunnel under the Detroit River, the Michigan Central relocated to a new station in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood. The former depot was heavily damaged by a fire in December 1913 and soon demolished.
