Packard Motor Car Co. air view.

Description:
Bird's-eye view of Packard Motor Car Company complex in Detroit, Michigan designed by architect, Albert Kahn. "The first large automobile plant in Detroit, the Packard factory was the golden opportunity of Kahn's life and was to determine the future course of his career, the progress that he made may be attributed largely to his ability to satisfy the requirements of his client ... between 1903 and 1905 Kahn built nine buildings for the Packard group, all of mill construction," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.
