Default Re: Ford Factories

Albert Kahn designed a good portion of them but demographics and time constraints called out for more than one architectural firm for all the different structures in the different cities and at different times. John Graham of Seattle, WA also designed a bunch of them. Ford had 31 branch plants prior to the worst part of the depression in 1932. They had to close most of them. Many were bought by the war department to turn into factories for the War effort.
