Any one have photos of Ferry from the late 50's early 60's??

The building has a bit of fire damage inside- I would not recommend going in it. There is all sorts of crap in the air. That being said, I talked with some of demo guys at the Breitmeyer site and they were really friendly. They said they thought they were doing Ferry School as well. I think if you spoke with them you could get a momento or something- especially if you were offering an "in kind" gift.

The picture linked above is the only one that Wayne State has- there are two negatives in the packet, but they are from an identical angle. I think the photographer took a test shot first, then moved a little to frame the telephone pole better.

Good luck!
