- Description:
- View of the Ford Motor Company factory in Highland Park, Michigan, designed by architect, Albert Kahn. "Kahn's most outstanding achievement during the early years of his industrial work was unquestionably the Ford Highland Park plant ... begun in 1909, this building was already producing cars shortly after New Year's Day in 1910, with its four stories, its length of 865 feet and its breadth of 75 feet, it was the largest building under one roof in Michigan ... the vast expanse of glass, interrupted only by the exposed concrete framework, created a novel effect ... centered in front of the main building was the monumental power plant with its five tall smokestacks which for so long were a landmark on north Woodward Avenue," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.
