Architecture Lecture: Michigan Central Station - Free!

Join us for a captivating exploration of the Michigan Central Railroad Depot's rich history! 📅 On the night of December 26, 1913, the old depot faced a devastating fire, leading to the early opening of the new station near Michigan Avenue and 14th Street. Over the past 113 years, this architectural gem has undergone an astonishing journey—from thriving service to decline, abandonment, and a remarkable rebirth.

📸 Led by author, photographer, and architectural historian Dale A. Carlson, this lecture will showcase historic and contemporary photographs, illustrating the station's dramatic transformation from its bleakest moments to its stunning restoration.

💬 Bring your own stories about this iconic landmark for a lively post-lecture discussion and Q&A.

🎉 This event is part of the Detroit Historical Museum's 75th Anniversary Celebration.
