Building at Historic Fort Wayne, now a historical outdoor museum in Detroit, Michigan’s, industrial Delray neighborhood. The original 1848 limestone barracks (with later brick additions) still stands, as does the 1845 fort (renovated in 1863 with brick exterior facing). The fort, named for Revolutionary War hero General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who had taken possession of Detroit from the British in 1796, also had many uses, including as a garrison post and prisoner-of-war facility, into the 20th Century.
