Description:

Black and white photograph taken overlooking work to convert building "B" of the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex from manufacture of Eagle Boats to that of automobiles. The strip at the center of the photo, in one of the inner aisles of the building, has been mostly filled with dirt, with regularly spaced divots left in it. Workers use a ramp to carry wheelbarrows to what appears to be a small motorized cement mixer beside the strip. A pile of wood is in the foreground. One of the building's restrooms is visible on the left. "26788-5-27-19," is printed in the lower right corner of the recto. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
