This is a picture of the building I work in. It was built in 1920 and originally held a Ford Model A assembly plant and showroom. Ford left the building in 1934 and it has housed a variety of business until remodeled into office space when we moved there in 2001. Originally an elevator in the back moved cars to all 5 floors (yes the front shows 4 floors but 1st floor is actually the basement access out the back). The elevator hoist is still there but the platform is gone, the shaft now contains stairs for the rear fire escape. Along the top of 5th floor back wall there are openings in the to remove the engine exhaust from starting the cars. We have only a few pictures of the building prior to 1945. I think I have one of the showroom with cars in it, if I can find it I'll post it. My company is committed to keeping the building as close to original appearance as possible. Helps that our CEO is a die-hard Ford guy and loves telling the story about the building to visitors. It is a well-built building, surviving a tornado and a dericho the both damaged everything around it. We only lost the 5th floor skylight and one pane in the front door.
