Above and below, the Grand Trunk Western depot at Clarkston, on the GTW's former Detroit & Milwaukee line to Muskegon.  This depot was known as a "witch's hat" depot because of its roof design.  [Above, Frank Riess Collection, Below Alan Loftis Collection]

Above, the former Clarkston depot today.  2004 [Frank Riess]  Below, a photo of the original depot at Clarkston, built in 1851.  This depot burned down around 1890.  A "witches hat" depot (above) was then built to replace it, but it also burned down in 1923.  A third depot was built to replace it ceased operation in 1959 and is today being used as a theater by a local acting group (2003).  [Photo below, Alan Loftis Collection][Information, Frank Riess]
