Floor Plan, Ford Motor Company Piquette Avenue Plant, First Floor, 1907

01

Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company quickly outgrew its first factory on Detroit's Mack Avenue and moved into the newly constructed Piquette Avenue Plant in 1904. This floor plan shows how some of the plant's rooms and workspaces were being used a few years later. When Ford grew too big for the three-story Piquette building, it moved into larger quarters in 1910.
