Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Detroit, Michigan, United States, North America
The Henry Ford is a large indoor and outdoor history museum complex and a National Historic Landmark in the Metro Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, USA. Named for its founder, the noted automobile industrialist Henry Ford, and based on his desire to preserve items of historical significance and portray the Industrial Revolution, the property houses a vast array of famous homes, machinery, exhibits, and Americana. The collection contains many rare exhibits including John F. Kennedy's presidential limousine, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, and the Rosa Parks bus. The Edison Institute was dedicated by President Herbert Hoover to Ford's longtime friend Thomas Edison on October 21, 1929 the 50th anniversary of the first successful incandescent light bulb. Of the 260 people in attendance, some of the more famous were Marie Curie, George Eastman, John D. Rockefeller, Will Rogers, and Orville Wright. The dedication was broadcast on radio with listeners encouraged to turn off their electric lights until the switch was flipped at the Museum. The Edison Institute was originally composed of the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the Greenfield Village Schools (an experimental learning facility). Initially, Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum were owned by the Ford Motor Company which cooperates with the Henry Ford to provide the Ford Rouge Factory Tour and is a sponsor of the school. The Henry Ford is sited between the Ford Dearborn test track and several Ford engineering buildings with which it shares the same style gates and brick fences. In 1970, the museum purchased what it believed to be a 17th-century Brewster Chair, created for one of the Pilgrim settlers in the Plymouth Colony, for $9,000. In September 1977, the chair was determined to be a modern forgery created in 1969 by Rhode Island sculptor Armand LaMontagne. The museum retains the piece as an educational tool on forgeries. Henry Ford Museum began as Henry Ford's personal collection of historic objects, which he began collecting as far back as 1906. Today, the 12 acre (49,000 m²) site is primarily a collection of antique machinery, pop culture items, automobiles, locomotives, aircraft, and other items. The Henry Ford is the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in America. Patrons enter at the gate, passing by the Josephine Ford Memorial Fountain and Benson Ford Research Center. Nearly one hundred historical buildings were moved to the property from their original locations and arranged in a village setting. The museum's intent is to show how Americans lived and worked since the founding of the country. The Village includes buildings from the 17th century to the present, many of which are staffed by costumed interpreters who conduct period tasks like farming, sewing and cooking. A collection of craft buildings such as pottery, glass-blowing, and tin shops provide demonstrations while producing materials used in the Village and for sale. Greenfield Village has 240 acres (970,000 m²) of land of which only 90 acres (360,000 m²) are used for the attraction, the rest being forest, river and extra pasture for the sheep and horses. The transportation system provides rides by horse-drawn omnibus, steam locomotive, a 1931 Model AA bus (one of about 15 known to exist), and authentic Ford Model Ts. The Weiser Railroad is a standard gauge passenger train that travels around Greenfield Village and has four stations. Steam locomotives in operation include the Torch Lake, an 1873 0-6-4 Mason Bogie which is one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in the U.S., and the Edison, a Davenport 0-4-0 rebuilt into a 4-4-0 by Ford. The railroad, unusually for a heritage railway, has a direct connection to Amtrak.

DETROIT: FORD PIQUETTE AVE. PLANT - BOSTON EDISON
Detroit is still known as the Motor City because of its history in car manufacturing and no story is more compelling than that of Henry Ford and the Model T. Well it al goes back to the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant.
The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a former factory located within the Milwaukee Junction area of Detroit, Michigan, in the United States. Built in 1904, it was the second center of automobile production for the Ford Motor Company, after the Ford Mack Avenue Plant. At the Piquette Avenue Plant, the company created and first produced the Ford Model T, the car credited with initiating the mass use of automobiles in the United States. Prior to the Model T, several other car models were assembled at the factory. Early experiments using a moving assembly line to make cars were also conducted there. It was also the first factory where more than 100 cars were assembled in one day. While it was headquartered at the Piquette Avenue Plant, Ford Motor Company became the biggest U.S.-based automaker, and it would remain so until the mid-1920s. The factory was used by the company until 1910, when its car production activity was relocated to the new, bigger Highland Park Ford Plant.
Studebaker bought the factory in 1911, using it to assemble cars until 1933. The building was sold in 1936, going through a series of owners for the rest of the 20th century before becoming a museum in 2001. The Piquette Avenue Plant is the oldest purpose-built automotive factory building open to the public. The museum, which was visited by 18,000 people in 2016, has exhibits that primarily focus on the beginning of the United States automotive industry. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, became a Michigan State Historic Site in 2003, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
Detroit coal merchant Alexander Y. Malcomson, and a group of investors formed the Ford Motor Company on June 16, 1903, to assemble automobiles.[1]:10–11[2] The company's first car model, the original Ford Model A, began to be assembled that same month at the Ford Mack Avenue Plant, a rented wagon manufacturing shop in Detroit, Michigan.[1]:11–12 The company quickly outgrew this facility and, on April 10, 1904, bought a parcel of land off of Piquette Avenue in Detroit to accommodate a larger factory.[1]:12 The land was located in the Milwaukee Junction area, whose name is derived from a railroad junction within it.[1]:4, 12 The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant's construction started on May 10, 1904.[1]:12 The company moved into its new factory the following October.[1]:13
The Detroit-based architectural firm Field, Hinchman & Smith designed the Piquette Avenue Plant.[1]:9, 12 It is an example of late Victorian-style architecture and was modeled after New England textile mills.[1]:7[3] Designing factories based on this type of mill was common practice in the United States at the time.[4] The building is three stories high, 56 feet (17.1 m) wide, and 402 feet (122.5 m) long.[5][6] Its load-bearing exterior brick walls contain 355 windows, and its maple floors, supported by square oak beams and posts, cover 67,000 square feet (6,224.5 m2).[1]:7[7] The Piquette Avenue Plant contains two elevator-stairwell combinations, one located on its northwest corner and the other located on its southwest side.[1]:5, 7 Recalling a fire in March 1901 that destroyed the Olds Motor Works factory in Detroit, Henry Ford and the architects included a fire sprinkler system in the building's design, a rare feature for industrial buildings of the period.[8] This and several other original safety features in the factory, such as its firewalls, fire doors, and fire escapes, are still present.[1]:7[8] Water for the sprinkler system was supplied by a wooden water tank located on the building's roof.[1]:5 A brick powerhouse, measuring 36 feet (11.0 m) wide by 57 feet (17.4 m) long, was the original electricity provider for the factory, and was located near its northwest corner.[1]:4, 12–13 The water tank and powerhouse no longer exist.[1]:4–5
Inside Detroit's former Michigan Theatre, now a parking garage
The Michigan Building at 220 Bagley Ave. in Downtown Detroit, along with 29 other properties owned by Dennis Kefallinos in Detroit and Hamtramck, are being marketed for sale. The former Michigan Theatre opened in 1926 as the largest concert and movie house in the state and more recently made famous by the movie 8 Mile, in which scenes were filmed. In 1976 the former theater space was converted into a parking garage for the office building's tenants. The site is also where Henry Ford built his first automobile.

DETROIT - GUARDIAN BUILDING - Architectural Wonder - Aerial Views
I love architecture and to my surprise I found a lot of it in Detroit. It is hard to imagine that this city that fell on such hard times retains such a rich architectural heritage. Two obvious skyscrapers to start with would be the Guardian Building and the Fisher Building that I will highlight in next week's vlog. Detroit's architecture is recognized as being among the finest in the U.S. with the National Trust for Historic Preservation listing many of Detroit's skyscrapers and buildings as some of America's most endangered landmarks. Detroit has one of the largest surviving collections of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century buildings in the U.S. Meanwhile, the suburbs contain some significant contemporary architecture and several historic estates.
The Guardian Building is a landmark skyscraper in the United States, located at 500 Griswold Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Financial District. The Guardian is a class-A office building owned by Wayne County, Michigan and serves as its headquarters. Built in 1928 and finished in 1929, the building was originally called the Union Trust Building[3] and is a bold example of Art Deco architecture, including art moderne designs.[4] At the top of the Guardian Building's spire is a large American Flag, complementing the four smaller flags atop nearby 150 West Jefferson. The building has undergone recent award-winning renovations. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 29, 1989,[1] and the associated Detroit Financial District is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Guardian building includes retail and a tourist gift shop.
Guardian Building entrance lobby — with two-story Art Deco entrance screen of Monel metal, and walls and vaulted ceiling decorated with mosaics and Pewabic Pottery and Rookwood Pottery glazed tiles. The Ezra Winter mural, Michigan, can be seen in the middle, through the metal grill. The 1929 Art Deco style Union Trust Building—Guardian Building is located at 500 Griswold Street, Downtown Detroit, Michigan. Designed by Wirt C. Rowland of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls architects, and built by Gorham Co. of Providence, Rhode Island (1928-1929). The building's interior, which gave rise to the building's nickname Cathedral of Finance, has undergone a full restoration (2006). A contributing property in the Detroit Financial Historic District, and on the National Register of Historic Places.
The main frame of the skyscraper rises 36 stories, capped by two asymmetric spires, one extending for four additional stories. The roof height of the building is 496 ft (151 m), the top floor is 489 feet (149 m), and the spire reaches 632 ft (192.6 m). Its nickname, Cathedral of Finance, alludes both to the building's resemblance to a cathedral, with its tower over the main entrance and octagonal apse at the opposite end and to New York City's Woolworth Building, which had earlier been dubbed the Cathedral of Commerce.[4]Native American themes are common inside and outside the building. Wirt C. Rowland, of the Smith, Hinchman & Grylls firm, was the building's architect. The building rises from a granite and stone six story base with two Corrado Parducci created sculptures flanking the Griswold Street entrance. The exterior blends brickwork with tile, limestone, and terra cotta. Rowland's attention to detail was meticulous. He supervised the creation of the colored brick cladding to achieve the desired color for the exterior. Afterward, the brick was marketed by the manufacturer as Union Trust Brick and after 1939, as Guardian brick.[5]Rowland designed furniture for the bank's offices and his attention went as far as designing tableware, linens and waitress uniforms for a restaurant in the building.
The building's three story, vaulted lobby is lavishly decorated with Pewabic and Rookwood tile. The semi-circular exterior domes are filled with Pewabic Pottery; Mary Chase Perry Stratton worked closely with the architect in the design of the symbolic decorations.[6] (See Savage, infra.) A Monel metal screen divides the lobby from the banking hall on the second floor, the screen features a clock in the center designed by Tiffany. The building includes works by muralist Ezra Winter in the mosaic above the main lobby desk and the mural at the end of the banking hall.[7] The large mosaic is of a pine tree and text that states the Union Trust Company's purpose for the building, Founded on principles of faith and understating, this building is erected for the purpose of continuing and maintaining the ideals of financial services which promoted the organization of the institution. The mural highlight’s Michigan’s industries such as manufacturing, farming and mining. In order to dampen the sound in the banking hall, its cement-plaster ceiling features a hand-painted canvas ceiling, which was stretched over a mat of horsehair.

DETROIT: HENRY FORD MUSEUM OF AMERICAN INNOVATION
Listed in World's Most Fun Museums, the HENRY FORD MUSEUM OF AMERICAN INNOVATION located in Dearborn, Michigan (11 miles from downtown Detroit) is an absolute must see. The visit can be a trifecta because not only can you visit HENRY FORD MUSEUM OF AMERICAN INNOVATION but also GREENFIELD VILLAGE and a Tour of the Ford River Rouge Plant where the best selling Ford F-150 truck is built. My video shares my impressions of the museum - thanks for viewing, commenting and liking.
The Henry Ford (also known as the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village, and as the Edison Institute) is a large indoor and outdoor history museum complex and a National Historic Landmark in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, United States. The museum collection contains the presidential limousine of John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, the Rosa Parks bus, and many other historical exhibits. It is the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in the United States[5] and is visited by over 1.7 million people each year.[6] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 as Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum[1] and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981 as Edison Institute.
Named for its founder, the automobile industrialist Henry Ford, and based on his efforts to preserve items of historical interest and portray the Industrial Revolution, the property houses homes, machinery, exhibits, and Americana of historically significant items as well as common memorabilia, both of which help to capture the history of life in early America. It is one of the largest such collections in the nation.
Henry Ford said of his museum:
I am collecting the history of our people as written into things their hands made and used.... When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived, and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition..
Architect Robert O. Derrick designed the museum with a 523,000 square feet (48,600 m2) exhibit hall that extends 400 feet (120 m) behind the main façade. The façade spans 800 feet (240 m) and incorporates facsimiles of three structures from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia — Old City Hall, Independence Hall and Congress Hall.
The Edison Institute was dedicated by President Herbert Hoover to Ford's longtime friend Thomas Edison on October 21, 1929 – the 50th anniversary of the first successful incandescent light bulb. The attendees included Marie Curie, George Eastman, John D. Rockefeller, Will Rogers, Orville Wright, and about 250 others.[11] The dedication was broadcast on radio with listeners encouraged to turn off their electric lights until the switch was flipped at the Museum.[12]
The Edison Institute was, at first, a private site for educational purposes only, but after numerous inquiries about the complex, it was opened as a museum to the general public on June 22, 1933.[13] It was originally composed of the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the Greenfield Village Schools (an experimental learning facility). Initially, Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum were owned by the Ford Motor Company, which is currently a sponsor of the school and cooperates with the Henry Ford to provide the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. The Henry Ford is sited between the Ford Dearborn Development Center and several Ford engineering buildings with which it shares the same style gates and brick fences.
In 1970, the museum purchased what it believed to be a 17th-century Brewster Chair, created for one of the Pilgrim settlers in the Plymouth Colony, for $9,000. In September 1977, the chair was determined to be a modern forgery created in 1969 by Rhode Island sculptor Armand LaMontagne.[14] The museum retains the piece as an educational tool on forgeries.[15]
In the early 2000s, the museum added an auditorium to the building's south corner. This housed an IMAX theater until January 2016 when museum management decided to change formats for the facility to better fit with its mission. The renovated theater reopened in April of that year.

Adaptive Building Reuse Detroit: U Haul Moving and Storage of New Center
U-Haul Moving and Storage of New Center in Detroit was recently featured in the 2013 AMERCO Virtual Analyst and Investor Webcast. CEO Joe Shoen began the webcast by showcasing one of U-Haul Company's sustainability initiatives: adaptive building reuse.
Adaptive building reuse is the process of reusing an existing site or building for a purpose other than that for which it was built or designed. Adaptive building reuse has been part of U-Haul Company's business plan since 1973. Since then, U-Haul has purchased and rehabilitated more than 1,000 buildings.
The former NBC-Nabisco building, built in 1920, is the most recent U-Haul adaptive building-reuse project. In the webcast, Joe also reaffirmed U-Haul Company's commitment to Detroit and being part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Orleans Landing: Mid-January drive by of new Detroit Riverfront residential/retail development
This is a mid-January drive-by of the Orleans Landing new residential and retail development in the Detroit riverfront area.
Groundbreaking took several years to get underway, but the project is currently scheduled for completion in April 2017.
This $65 million first phase is planned to have about 278 market-rate residential units and 10,500 square feet of retail space. It is the first new construction of market-rate residential units on the east riverfront in the last quarter-century.
It is located a very small walk from the Detroit River and is bounded by Franklin, Orleans, Atwater and Riopelle streets (eight-acre/four square blocks) next to the new Michigan Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Adventure Center. The Detroit RiverWalk, Dequindre Cut Greenway, Chene Park, Rivard Park, Milliken State Park and Harbor, General Motors’ world headquarters and Stroh River Place are all in the same area as well.
Orleans Landing will not be a gated community. It will be integrated into the street grid in a way that creates a walkable urban environment. Twenty percent of the housing put up will be held as affordable units.
The second phase of the development is expected to have about 230 more market-rate rental units as well as additional retail space.
Significant remediation, including removal of 29 tanks and other subsurface material, had to take place before the project could begin.
The new development will consist of:
• 30 two-bedroom town houses with their own garage
• 48 two-bedroom apartments
• 200 one-bedroom apartments
• Swimming pool, fitness center, community center, interior bike storage
• Secured parking
Groundbreaking was October 20, 2015 at 10:30 a.m.

The Fort Wayne Story (1959)
Black and white 16mm film containing the program The Fort Wayne Story, presented by the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society. The film is hosted by Glenn G. Stille, the curator of military history, and in the later portion he is joined by Robert E. Lee, exhibits preparator at the Fort Wayne Military Museum.
The film begins with Stille seated behind a desk, with a large drawing of Fort Wayne behind him. In his introduction, he discusses the fort's recent role as an induction center during the Korean War, and shows a map of the fort's location relative to downtown. He then begins detailing the city's prior forts beginning with Fort Pontchartrain in 1701. As the camera pans across a model of the fort, he discusses the three expansions of the fort, and Detroit's early French history. He then moves forward to 1778, and the British-built Fort Lernoult. Again, another model is shown. Stille explains that the fort was renamed Fort Shelby by the Americans, and fell out of use by 1826. Before moving to the construction of Fort Wayne in 1848, Stille mentions the Detroit barracks at Gratiot Avenue and Russell Street which were used to house troops in the interim. He also briefly describes the Patriot War of the 1830s and tensions along the Canadian border.
Stille begins detailing the features of Fort Wayne using another model. He points out the demi-lune, embankments, artillery mounts, the entrance, power magazine, and barracks. Then over actual footage of the fort, he expounds on the dry moat, outer embankment and walls. He then focuses on the entrance way, specifically its doors, the entrance tunnel, and the adjacent casement. Inside the fort he then details the powder magazine, and barracks.
Robert E. Lee then joins Stille at the desk to talk about the fort's exhibits. First he shows the panels situated in the entrance tunnel which provide a timeline of Detroit's history prior to Fort Wayne. Each panel includes a representative flag. The panels are titled, 1701-1760 Cadillac, 1760-1796 The British, 1796-1812 American Occupation, 1812-1813 Surrender!!, and 1813-1840 Cold War. After briefly mentioning displays of firearms in the entrance way, he then turns toward the Firepower exhibit inside the barracks. At the desk, Lee shows a Colt revolver and a Civil War-era carbine rifle from the exhibit. He also mentions two rooms of Native American displays. Again, at the desk, he showcases a French-made pipe tomahawk,a boiling stone, and a moccasin. FInally Lee mentions the fort's Sherman tank, and stresses its popularity with children.
In the film's conclusion, Stille provides directions to the museum, its hours, and phone number.
The film is housed within a grey tin with a WTVS label. The label is marked, The Fort Wayne Story, #529, 3/11/58, Produced by Glenn Stille and Bob Lee.
