"New Haven Station"

 

New Haven is a small town north of Detroit. It's in a rural area and had a small train depot on the Port Huron to Detroit Grand Trunk rail line. There were several stations designed by the same architect. They all look similar, but with slight variations. This one is almost exactly like the Smiths Creek Depot at Greenfield Village, except it features some yellow brickwork around the windows and doorways. It was almost torn down in the early 1970s, but a preservation group came to its rescue. Such a beautiful little piece of history.
