Description
Constructed in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), this facility housed the Michigan State Police’s New Buffalo Post. The building was completed in 1937; expanded in 1967; later privately owned; and demolished between 2015 and 2017.
The facility was located on the south side of U.S. 12, in the sliver of land between that road and E Clay St.—just west of where the roads intersect.
