Does the Free Press archive not have anything on it? If not, maybe a library search request with the city library or Wayne State would help...
If not any of those, I'm curious what the historical societies or maybe some offbeat publication like the Motor City Muckraker might be able to dredge up.
- rmason 8y agoI found articles about the debate on whether to build it or not. They started debating it in 1912 and the car companies vigorously fought it which isn't a surprise. Tried the archive just now and couldn't find anything around the time of the actual construction but I will keep working on it. If I can find a little bit bet I could get the Muckracker to do a story. Bet they have resources we both lack.
- wcunning 8y agoThey were looking for funding pretty hard a year or two ago, so while I would expect the Muckraker to do a great job, I'd feel obligated to donate.
