Michigan Central Station

Detroit, MI

Opened in 1913, Michigan Central Station became one of America's most famous abandoned buildings after passenger service ended in 1988. Ford restored and reopened the monumental station in 2024 as part of an innovation campus, turning a long-standing ruin into one of Detroit's most dramatic preservation reversals.
