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?
