Summary

See HAER MI-416, Detroit's Milwaukee Junction Survey, for additional information.
Significance: Designed by Albert Kahn, Inc. and built for the Ford Motor Company, the building was originally only four stories when built in 1908. Another four stories were added in 1913, and the entire exterior was clad in white terra-cotta facing. During the move of Ford's operations from the Piquette Avenue plant to the Highland Park facility, this building housed the Ford Motor Company's Detroit branch operations. In 1919, they moved out of the building, and various banks and businesses occupied it through the 1960s.
