This photo was sent to us by Larry & Susan Rix of Roswell Georgia, and shows the old Michigan Central Railway station at the corner of Erie Ave & Queen St. Note the old King Edward Hotel in the background. The gentleman standing in front of the Station is Susan's Great Grandfather, Peter McDowell. The NFRM thanks them for sending us this very rare shot of this magnificent station.
