Fleet Speciality Warehouse

Located at 2600 W. Fort St., this old warehouse building sports a date of construction of 1897.

On what is now a truck yard near the Ambassador Bridge, this building is the only remaining peice of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd Reformatory for Girls that once occupied the site.

As you can see the building above was the laundry facility. What ever happened to the Sisters?

  • Andrew (and anyone else) I have some pictures that were taken of my relatives on the grounds of the House of the Good Shepherd in the 1920s and 1930s. My Grand Aunt was a nun there starting in the 1920s. If you would like to see them, please respond. If anyone else has any pictures of the House of the Good Shepherd and would like to share, I'd be thrilled to see them.
