Station: Ionia, MI - Michigan State Reformatory
The Michigan Reformatory was a state prison for men, located in Ionia, Michigan. The facility closed in 2000, and then reopened in 2007. It was again closed in 2022 due to declining inmate numbers. [Wiki]

Notes
The power house, which appears to be on the north side of the building, was likely served off the PM branch going north from Ionia. [CalTopo]
