Out the window-a view down Piquette
This shot was taken from the abandoned Fisher Plant in Detroit. The view is of the historic Henry Ford Piquette plant. The plant was built in 1904, being the first plant built by the Ford Motor Company. Autos were built here, including the Model T from 1904 and 1919. From this plant, Ford would become the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles. The model T would be the first car built for a large number of people. At this plant, Ford also first began to experiment with the new concept of the assembly line for mass production. Ford had such great success, a newer and larger plant was needed. The Ford Motor Company thus moved to a larger, more technologically advanced facility in Highland Park.
