The story of Ford’s enormous production facility located at the confluence of the Rouge and Detroit Rivers is very well known. Developed between 1917 and 1928, it’s specifications were staggering. It was a mile and a half wide and more than a mile long. It’s 93 buildings covered 15,767,708 square feet. Within that area was everything necessary to convert raw materials into finished Fords. It was truly a wonder of the industrial world.

These are just two of the latest patch of photos that you can see courtesy of The Henry Ford along with many others on The Old Motor.
