Detroit's Eastern Market continues its march towards self-improvement. The latest steps forward are upgrades to Shed 3.

Excerpt:

Eastern Market continues to improve, shed by shed and block by block. This winter, Shed 3's renovations were completed, save a few minor punch-list items. The 30,000-square-foot shed, which was built in 1923, received new doors, indoor restrooms, additional water and electrical hookups and, most prominently, windows. A grand re-dedication of the facility will take place this spring.

The $5.5 million project was funded by the City of Detroit, Bank of America, the Kresge, Kellogg, Hudson-Webber, and General Motors foundations and DTE Energy. The project architect was Kraemer Design Group, the firm that is now busy with construction drawings for the next big thing in store for Eastern Market: the restoration of Shed 5.
