- Description:
- Detail view of the smokestacks and water tower of the power plant at Ford Motor Company Highland Park designed by architect, Albert Kahn, with men standing along top corner of building and one of the smokestacks. "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.

- Description:
- Exterior view of the Ford Motor Company's Highland Park plant. "Probably no factory changed life in 20th century America as much as the Highland Park Ford Plant, it was here, that Henry Ford and his engineers developed many of the crucial principles of modern mass production, the most notable of these was the continuously moving assembly line; its introduction in late 1913 reduced the assembly time of a Model T from 728 to 93 minutes ... the Highland Park Ford Plant, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, was also revolutionary for its design, starting in 1908, Albert Kahn, who would become the country's foremost industrial architect, created a series of brick, concrete, and steel buildings that included features that came to define proper factory design: large, open floors that allowed for the efficient arrangement of machinery; expansive windows that brought in additional light and created a more pleasant and productive working environment; and the potential for expansion or connection of additional structures to meet increased demand," from The National Register of Historic Places website.
