The Tribune had T on the mind on August 31st, with another article, this time on the birthplace of the Model T, the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit.
It has been a work-in-progress for eight years and will perhaps be quite a museum one day.
Henry Ford insisted on the latest safety features so it had sliding steel doors separating areas, a sprinkler system, and smokers had to do so outside.
It cost $70,000 to build in 1904. The first 15,000 Model Ts were built here before it was outgrown in 1910 when production was moved to Highland Park,Michigan. Studebaker bought the building and moved in.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
