View of bronze tablet marking the site of Detroit's first railway depot, located at Dequindre and East Jefferson. Inscription reads: "This tablet marks the site of Detroit's first railway depot. The Detroit and Pontiac Railway, the first railway to be chartered in the West built its Detroit terminal on this site in 1836. The building served as a depot only two years because of its distance from the center of town. In 1898, the tracks of the railway were routed down Gratiot Avenue from Dequindre Street, the depot being located on Gratiot Avenue near Farmer Street. Presented to the city of Detroit in the month of September, 1926."
