  • SB I-75 from Woodward Heights Blvd to 9 Mile Rd lane closed for construction
  • SB M-10 at Evergreen Rd lane closed for construction

Tour of historic Farwell building 🏢

We're hoping to get a good look inside The Farwell, a 1915 building in Capitol Park. The building underwent a historic restoration to bring it back to life after being vacant since 1984. The Farwell is one of the last remaining restorations to take place in the now thriving Capitol Park neighborhood. It's located at 1249 Griswold St, Detroit, MI 48226. Can't wait to see inside!
