The Michigan Central Railroad Standish Depot is a railroad depot located at 107 North Main Street in Standish, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.〔 ==History== In 1870, the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Railroad constructed a line through this section of Arenac County to connect Bay City with Mackinaw City. The next year, the Michigan Central Railroad leased the line to begin passenger service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Michigan Central Railroad Standish Depot )〕 The city of Standish was developed on this railroad line. The first depot, located south of the current structure, was built in 1871 of wood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Michigan Department of Transportation )〕 By 1887, the depot was badly deteriorated, and Michigan Central promised to replace it〔 as part of their push to upgrade depots throughout the state.〔 They hired the Detroit architectural firm of Spier & Rohns to design this depot.〔 Adams and Rogers of Detroit constructed the depot,〔 using stones provided by local farmers.〔 Construction began in May 1889 and the depot was completed in October 1889.〔 The area around the depot was made into a park, with a bandstand and weekly concerts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Standish Historical Depot and Welcome Center )〕 However, by the 1920s, both the park and the depot itself were being used less and less as passenger traffic fell off.〔 In 1955, the last passenger train stopped in Standish.〔 The depot was used for freight until 1965 or 66, and then shuttered.〔 In 1988, it was renovated and converted into office space. It is currently used as a welcome center along US 23.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Standish Historical Depot and Welcome Center )〕
