We are blessed with the recent publication of three very valuable books about the architectural history of our area.
Michael Hodges, Michigan's Historic Railroad Stations [[WSU Press), contains extremely informative pictures of 31 depots and provides information about their history and their importance to the communities they served.
Detroit's Historic Places of Worship by Marla Collum, Barbara Krueger and Dorothy Kostsuch [[WSU Press) provides a great deal of information about and pictures of 36 Detroit and Hamtramck churches and one temple. You can appreciate the exterior beauty of these sites but these authors include very impressive pictures of the interiors.
Dan Austin's Forgotten Landmarks of Detroit, includes pictures and descriptions of 13 buildings, one sculpture and one boat that have been razed. It is a very informative book.
It is great that these authors have devoted so much time and effort to bring our attention to the architectural history of this area.
