Greyhound Station [gone] Detroit, MI |
 |
 |
This Detroit station appears to be an Arrasmith design. I believe it has been demolished. Does anyone know more about it?
|
The Ann Arbor station was built in 1940. It was designed by Banfield & Cumming of Cleveland with local architect Douglas Loree. It has the original curved glass windows, stainless steel vertical sign. I'm not sure if it still serves as a Greyhound station. I have heard that it ceased operation when the taller coaches came along and could not fit under the drive through part of the building on the right. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

The Lansing station was designed by Arrasmith and opened in 1950. While the sign pylon is still streamline, the building style reflects Greyhound's new boxy modern look. It is now home to The Centennial Group, a financial/investment company, which took over the abandoned building in 2000. For more, see their website.

Greyhound Building Detroit, MI |
This Greyhound Building was never used as a station but I'll include it anyway. It was used as a headquarters, maintenance garage and storage facility for Great Lakes Greyhound Lines (GLGL). From 1975 until late 1988, half 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.
