Model T Automotive Heritage Complex

Pictures By Bob Steinhaus

 

This was the first building to be built and owned by the Ford Motor Company and it was the birthplace of the Model T in 1908. Occupied by Ford from 1904 through 1910, it was home, in 1907, to the world’s record for car production and pre-dated the auto assembly line process that was made famous later in the Ford River Rouge facility. Now the building is in various

stages of restoration and houses a collection of artifacts from the Model T era. Constructed of heavy timber and built in 1904 it features metal clad sliding fire doors and one of the first fire suppression systems ever used in Michigan. It was an incredible feeling to walk up and down the same 105-year-old stairs that 100’s of Ford employees did when they worked in this building. I think that a trip here is well worth your time. Enjoy the pics!
