Old Train Depot

Ford is having an open house to tour the old train station before they start their restoration. Would love to go but there is no where to park down there. I wonder where all the Ford employees will park when the facility opens.
 It is going to be beautiful when it is finished. Years ago when it was really derelict my son got in there....he said they just were in the lobby and were afraid to go further.....a lot of homeless stayed there. A long and interesting history...the same architect that designed Grand Central in NYC did this building and in it's day it was beautiful and famous. It went from that to a steady decline in the 80's when it closed. The building was destroyed by vandals  and the weather and lack of upkeep. It was threatened with demolition many times. Thanks to Ford Motor Company for rescuing this gem.
