HISTORIC DESIGNATION ADVISORY BOARD

501 Third Avenue to be listed a site of the National Park Service/National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.  (The property located at 501 Third Avenue was the former site of the historic Michigan Central Railroad (MCRR) Third Street Depot that was originally part of the Underground Railroad (UGRR) in Detroit. From 1848 – 1865 the MCRR was a hub for fugitive enslaved Africans and their descendants. Detroit was code-named “Midnight” and the Third Street Depot was an UGRR gateway to Canada. The MCRR Third Street Station was a block from the southern curve of the Detroit River, an international border, which was the closest distance from riverbank to riverbank, between Detroit, Michigan and Canada. Detroit was well known by UGRR operatives as a city where freedom seekers could find safe refuge not only for its proximity to Canada but also its strong and active abolitionist community. The site of the MCRR Third Street Station is now occupied by the City of Detroit property at 501 Third Avenue (also known as Steve Yzerman Drive), the West Riverfront People Mover Station.)
