Looking for the physical address of the former (closed Sept 1997) 314th MI Bn in Detroit, MI.
I am trying to find out what happened to the building and what is there, if anything. It was around Hamtramck, and near some railroad tracks, and downwind of what, I think, was a dogfood factory. I can't find anything online about the address. I know that B Company, that was in Parma, OH, was sold to the public and became a shooting range. I just can't justify digging thru boxes in the garage in hopes of finding an old LES.

SGT Robert Harshbarger See if you can get on line access to telephone white pages for the date range. Might also get help from library archives.

I used Street View on Google Maps around the area and found two buildings that could have been previous armories, one with a building behind it that could have been an FMS.
But if you were assigned there, you should have an assignment order, 4187, or similar that had the unit and address in your records on HRCapp.

OK I FOUND IT! Verified with Google street view. Apparently it was taken over at some point by the city. It is now Detroit Police Department Training Center and/or Department of Corrections.
Looks exactly like I remember it.
17825 Sherwood Street, Hamtramck, MI 48212
I was hoping that it hadn't been torn down. While it looked relatively "government modern" on the outside, it has some interesting features inside that really dated it. In particular the bathrooms and the vault were "different".

I was stationed there back in the early 90's. My car was regularly broken into when I was forced to park across the street. Good times.
