Map to Office
The
Marquette Medical Arts offices at
107 W. Main St, in downtown Marquette, is, in addition to Marquette's
"newest" state-of-the-art Medical facililty, is also one of Marquette's
most prestigiously historic buildings. Originally the home of Marquette's
"South Shore Depot" train station, it opened for business on January 11,
1902 and remained in service until 1945. The building was initially hailed
by The Mining Journal as "strictly modern and metropolitan," with steam
heat, electric lights, Port Washington sandstone exterior, a slate roof,
and eight-foot awnings on all sides. The second floor featured Georgia
pine paneling and hardwood floors and served as rooms for railroad employees
and other passengers requiring overnight accommodations.
Many famous people passed through the station,
most notably among them President Teddy Roosevelt, who conducted a speech
before an audience of 6,000 from a station platform during the 1912 Presidential
Campaign.
Since 1945, the depot building has served
many local businesses, and in 1997 its interior was completely modernized
and restored, with air-conditioning and a new elevator, for the exclusive
purpose of serving downtown and Greater Marquette's primary care medical
needs.
In addition to serving as the new home of
Women's Health Associates, the building also features the Family Practice
offices of Drs. Mark Stevens and Daniel Hardie, and a laboratory of Marquette
General Hospital, for the convenience of our patients.
Our offices, in the same vein as the train station,
are conveniently located just steps away from:
- shopping, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops
