Highland Park Ford Plant


 

The Highland Park Ford Plant was a production plant for Ford Motor Company in the city of Highland Park, Michigan, which is surrounded by Detroit. The Highland Park Ford Plant was designed by Albert Kahn in 1908 and was opened in 1910. Because of its spacious design, it set the precedent for many factories and production plants built thereafter. In 1913, the Highland Park Ford Plant became the first automobile production facility in the world to implement the assembly line. In the late 1920s Ford moved automobile assemby to the River Rouge complex in nearby Dearborn. Automotive trim manufacturing and tractor assembly continued at the Highland Park plant. It became a National Historic Landmark in 1978. It is now abandoned.
