Interior of Wright Cycle Shop in Dayton, Ohio, 1936
01
Artifact Overview
Before moving the Wright Cycle Shop from Dayton, Ohio, to Greenfield Village in November 1936, Henry Ford's agents found and took detailed photographs of the building's interior. These photos helped the team reassemble the structure in Dearborn, Michigan. Orville Wright and Charlie Taylor, the mechanic who built the engine for the 1903 Flyer, also assisted to ensure the reconstruction's accuracy.
