on
280
foot
caissons
.
Designed
by the

, the

was
modeled

. The
Terminal
Tower
opened
in

Terminal
complex
was
complete
, and would
remain
the

would
continue
as the

run
by
Nicholson
and his
family
.
Between
the
businesses
owned
by the
Nicholson
family
, they
handled
cargo
throughout
the
Great
Lakes
from the
time
of
loading
in
one
port
,
through
transit
to a
second
port
, to
unloading
in the
port
of
arrival
. The
Nicholson
Transit
Company
was
forced
out
of
business
in the
1960s
as a
result
of the
government
subsidized
railroad
competition
