Opened in 1913, Michigan Central Station (aka "Michigan Central Depot") is one of the most majestic and historic buildings in Detroit. Although it was built with the grandeur of New York City's Grand Central Terminal, many factors contributed to its decine and final closure in 1988. All that is left now is an empty shell that has fallen victim to neglect and the force of the elements.
