Greyhound Station
Ann Arbor, MI
This Ann Arbor station was built in 1940 as the Ann Arbor Bus Depot. It was designed by Banfield & Cumming of Cleveland with local architect Douglas Loree. The curved glass windows and stainless steel vertical sign are original. The building still serves as a Greyhound station. The taller coaches no longer fit under the drive through part of the building so they pick up and drop off in front of the building. There was talk of demolishing the building in 1988 but that threat seems to have passed. These photos are from 2011. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Greyhound Station
Lansing, MI
This Greyhound station was designed by Arrasmith and opened in 1950. While the sign pylon is Streamline Moderne, the building style reflects Greyhound's new boxy modern look. In 2000, the abandoned station was purchased by the Centennial Group, a financial/investment company. That company still occupies the building today. For more, see their website.

Greyhound Building
Detroit, MI
This Greyhound Building was never used as a station but I'll include it anyway. There was a West Side Freight Depot for the DUR Interburban lines built here in 1917. The style of this building suggests it was either a replacement or remodeling. It's not clear when Greyhound bought the building. It was used it as a headquarters, maintenance garage and storage facility for Great Lakes Greyhound Lines (GLGL). From 1975 until late 1988, half of the facility was leased to Crowley's Department Stores for inventory storage and housing its delivery trucks. The building is currently leased by the Michigan State Police for driver/vehicle safety inspections of trucks crossing the nearby Ambassador Bridge.
