On the corner of 15th Street and Dalzelle in Detroit, Michigan lie the ruins of a building once held in high esteem. Once known as Michigan Central Station, the majestic ruins of this thirteen story train depot seem in a state of perpetual neglect. This blog is a documentation of my senior project entitled, "15th & Dalzelle". I plan to recreate the main sections of Michigan Central Station in an explorable, interactive environment. Updates soon!

research and such things of the like
A few days ago, I went out into the world to gather research from places other than Google Images. My first stop was the Detroit Historical Museum, which is closed until November 23rd. However, my next stop was the Detroit Public Library, which had all the photo reference I needed and more, down in the Burton Historical Collection. I was lucky enough, on this day, to get free xeroxes as well, which was definitely the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, since these interior and exterior images of Michigan Central Station belong to a historical collection, posting digital copies on the Internet seems, on some level, immoral if not illegal.
