After recently posting about Richert's Restaurant here (located "opposite the Tunnel Depot"), I thought that wonderful building deserved another look. The Grand Trunk Western's Tunnel Depot was empty but still standing when I moved to Port Huron in 1973. Here's a photo of it from that era - it was torn down soon after. It was on Railroad Street east of 24th, obviously the first depot after trains came out of the International Tunnel just east of here. I wish it was still standing:

Here's a post card photo of Port Huron's Tunnel Depot in the prime train travel era, about 1910, by the wonderful Louis Pesha. This was the center of all transportation back then:

Old abandoned Grand Trunk Western Port Huron Mich depot under International Bridge to Sarnia Ontario Canada about 1978

David Dell: It became an office building for Peerless Cement for many years and when Peerless was razed, it was rediscovered. It is now the Thomas Edison Depot location of the Port Huron Museum. The museum has 5 locations they have restored and now staff.
