Mount Clemens station

Mount Clemens station is a historic railroad depot located at 198 Grand Street in Mt.

In the fall of 1859, Grand Trunk Western Railroad opened their Port Huron to Detroit line, travelling through Mount Clemens.

As a reward, the boy's father, station agent J. U. Mackenzie, taught the young Edison train telegraphy and operation, spurring his interest in technology.

[4] The Grand Trunk Western Rail Station in Mount Clemens is a one-story Italianate building, rectangular in plan and constructed of bricks on a stone foundation.

[3] The shingled gabled roof is supported with wooden brackets, and eaves extend eight feet from the walls.

The northern section of the building is the staff work area, and has concrete floors, painted wooden ceiling, and plaster walls with wainscoting.

The dividing wall between the southern and northern section holds an access door and a re-created ticket office window, with a brass grill is from the demolished Grand Trunk Brush Street depot in Detroit.
