Detroit's Brush Street Station (1867-1973) was demolished shortly after this Fred Zatirka photograph was shot. Everything in this image (including the streets) soon made way for today's GM Renaissance Center.
Detroit & Milwaukee Railroad (D&M) moved to this east riverfront terminal in 1852. The original building, which was shared by Great Western Railway (GWR) and Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana Railroad (MS&NI) was destroyed during an 1866 fire, which broke out on a ferry docked nearby. There were more than a few fatalities.

Here is a photo I took in the early 70’s of the Grand Trunk railroad depot. The Depot dated back to the pre civil war era and was located at Brush and Atwater street, right around the corner from the entrance to the Detroit Windsor tunnel. The large building and grain silos behind the depot were for the Robin Hood flour mill. All these structures were demolished to make way for Ren Cen.
My apologies for the quality of the photo. It was an old Polaroid that didn’t age very well.
