Does any one have any idea of the original purpose of the building on the southeast corner? I believe the address is 5435 W. Fort. | ||

Guess not. Some kind of truck terminal? | ||

I've wondered about that building myself. I asked a question about it on a thread about SW Detroit months ago but didn't get a response. Hopefully someone has the answer. http://maps.google.com/maps?f= q&hl=en&q=5435+W.+Fort+detroit +michigan&sll=37.0625,-95.6770 71&sspn=28.805654,58.359375&ie =UTF8&ll=42.309657,-83.095093& spn=0.001638,0.003562&t=h&z=18 &om=1 | ||

In the 60's it was a "data processing" facility. Can't recall the name, but had a friend that worked there with punchcards. | ||
