    Default What Railroad Station is in this picture?

    It the lower left corner of this 1950's picture of Detroit I found online, is a train station that was in the vicinity of where the Ren center is now.

    My thoughts that it is the former Pere Marquette - C&O Station [?]; that the location would have been around the area of Atwater [the original location of Atwater prior to the street being relocated because of Ren Cen] between Brush St. & Beaubien St.

    What was the actual name & address of this station, and what was the tall tower for that is next to the river.

    Please note, that Atwater was moved east closer to the river when the area was being renovated, thus removing it making the area available for total revamping.

    Thank you for any and all responses.
