From the web: The Michigan Central Railroad was constructed through Ann Arbor in 1839, & quickly became the center of travel & shipping for Ann Arbor. The line reached Chicago by 1852. By the late 1880s, the railroad was replacing depots at a number of stations along its lines. Each depot was of a different design, & for the Ann Arbor station, the railroad selected Frederick Spier of the Detroit firm Spier & Rohns as the architect. The station was built by Gearing & Sons, also of Detroit, & completed in 1886. Two other small buildings, a railway express office & a baggage station, were constructed nearby. The depot was often used, with 13 Detroit-to-Chicago runs per day in 1915, plus additional shorter local runs. Famous personalities passing through included Teddy Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryan, Winston Churchill, & in 1960 John F. Kennedy & Richard Nixon.
