Old Iron Ore Dock

Old Iron Ore Dock

The Old Iron Ore Dock in Marquette is one of my favorite structures in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It was built as a gigantic, purely functional iron ore gravity feed dock on the waterfront in 1931. Decommissioned in 1971, it is now a hauntingly beautiful, symmetrical, cathedral-like edifice to the iron mining industry in that region.
