The MCS

Filed under: general,report — Franz John @ 21:11

Michigan Central Station (MCS) once was a thriving epicenter for the city of Detroit and the whole Midwest. It opened in 1913 and consisted of a 3 story train station with an 18 story office tower. hgfhsd

In April 2006, I could visit first time the abandoned train station. This brief selection of photographs from my trip may give you some first impressions of the abandoned building and its mostly vacant neighborhood.
