Yeah… I have that book, but it is a lot of (really cool) photos, but little narrative. Plus it makes some rather nonsensical claim that Warren and Wetmore worked on the project because they were “known for their hotels.” Nobody remembers them for their hotels. Beaux Arts designs, yes, pretty things for rich people, yes. They worked with Reed and Stem on this project for a similar reason to Grand Central. Warren was a cousin of the Vanderbilts, and Reed was the brother in law of NYC chief engineer Wilgus (who was involved in the Detroit river tunnel project, which was the whole impetus for a new station).

Emily, maybe he’s referring to this one:

Kavanaugh, Kelli B. Detroit’s Michigan Central Station. Chicago: Arcadia Publishing, 2001

I made a visit to there as well… but I’m curious to which book you are referring. I haven’t found any books that cover the station’s history all that well.

A local artist wrote a very good book about it.
