The station is located in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood and is set to reopen on June 6 after being closed for the last 36 years. In 1912, it was constructed with an 18-story tower, 10 gates for trains and more than 500 offices. It had a restaurant, barber, florist and more inside the building. Then, in 1913, the first train left the station, heading for Saginaw and Bay City. After the station began to see a decline in travelers, it closed in January 1988.
