  • I would say, to those who have optimism about Potter Street Station, don't give up on it," said one official with the old train depot's nonprofit. "The optimism is warranted."

The article from MLive discusses the historical journey of Saginaw's Potter Street Station, which has been a significant landmark for 144 years. Originally opened in 1881 by the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, the station has undergone numerous transformations. It served as a bustling hub for both passengers and freight, witnessing the evolution of rail travel in Michigan. Over the decades, it faced periods of neglect, including a time when it was nearly demolished. However, community efforts led to its preservation, with the station being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Today, after extensive renovations, Potter Street Station stands as a testament to Saginaw's railroad heritage, now functioning as a museum and event space, showcasing its architectural beauty and historical significance. The article highlights the station's role in local history, its architectural features, and the ongoing efforts to maintain and utilize this historic site for educational and community purposes.
