Koenig Coal Coal Yard silos were built in the 1920’s. The company, established in 1870, were dealers that sold coal and wood. They had two office locations in Detroit (circa 1878). The 362 Atwater Street location contained a dock and the 368 Gratoit Ave location contained a coal and wood yard (*1).

A diagonal path through gravel and grass led to an artificial ravine once used for Grand Trunk rail service through Milwaukee Junction. Areas under the bridge featured a unique  and eclectic collection of graffiti pieces, murals and tags. After exploring the surrounding area, gathering storm clouds signaled an end to the expedition.
