Aerial View of Ford Motor Company Piquette Avenue Plant, 1908
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company quickly outgrew its first factory on Detroit's Mack Avenue and, in 1904, moved into the newly constructed Piquette Avenue Plant. At first, the three-story building seemed too large. One employee wondered if the company could ever use all the space, but his concerns soon seemed quaint. In 1910, the burgeoning company again moved into more spacious quarters.
