Michigan Central Station (also known as Michigan Central Depot or MCS) was the main intercity passenger rail depot in Detroit, Michigan. Built for the Michigan Central Railroad, it replaced the original depot in downtown Detroit, which was shuttered after a major fire on December 26, 1913, forcing the still unfinished station into early service. Formally dedicated on January 4, 1914, the station remained open for business until the cessation of Amtrak service on January 6, 1988. Comprising a train depot and 18-story office tower with a roof height of 230 feet (70 m), it was the tallest rail station in the world at the time of its construction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Central_Station
