Description
Constructed in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), this handsome facility was built as the Michigan State Police’s Battle Creek Post. The State Police ceased their operations there in 2012, relocating to Marshall. In 2017 the property was sold to a local business owner, and the building was demolished in March 2018.
