Michigan State Fair Riding Coliseum, Dairy Cattle Building, and Agricultural Building
Michigan State Fair Riding Coliseum, Dairy Cattle Building, and Agricultural Building, Classical architecture ensemble at State Fairgrounds, Detroit, United States.
The Michigan State Fair buildings consist of three main structures featuring white stucco walls, red brick foundations, and Neo-Classical Revival design elements.
Lynn W. Fry designed these agricultural buildings between 1922 and 1926, marking a significant period in Detroit's development of permanent fairground structures.
These buildings served as central venues for agricultural education, livestock exhibitions, and equestrian events, connecting urban residents with farming practices.
The Dairy Cattle Building now functions as the Jason Hargrove Transit Center, offering retail spaces, ticketing facilities, and a dedicated drivers' lounge.
The Coliseum contains one of Detroit's largest trussed roofs, while the Agricultural Building features distinctive projecting arcades sheltering its entrances.
