The original shed was gone by the 1930s, but bricks from the Bagley Avenue house reportedly were used in the replica.

ArtifactBagley Avenue Workshop
Henry Ford transformed the storage shed behind his family's rented duplex at 58 Bagley Avenue in Detroit into a workshop. Here, in 1896, he built his first car -- the "Quadricycle." In 1933, Ford reconstructed the shed in Greenfield Village. The original shed had been torn down, so he reportedly used bricks from a wall of the Bagley Avenue residence instead.
