(rshsdepot) Harbor Springs michigan depot

["Louis Van Winkle" <louisvw_@_mc.net>]

Hi ,

I have added a new page to my site on Michigan passenger stations,
covering the former Grand Rapids & Indiana depot in Harbor Springs.
http://user.mc.net/~louisvw/depot/HarborSprings/harbspr.htm

Designed by Sidney Osgood, a Grand Rapids MI architect, and built in 1887,
the depot was the end of the line for the GR&I's Suburban trains. They
served a string of resort towns between Harbor Springs and Petoskey. In the
peak years there were 8 trains a day each way, serving half a million
customers a year.

Four years ago the depot was rebuilt and restored to serve as home to a very
high-end art and antiques store. It looks great.
