These are on the Henry Ford Heritage Association's webpage. I don't know if or how they can be made any larger for better viewing. They do give an idea of the crumbling interior as it was 5 years ago. The link won't work by clicking on it; you have to copy and paste the entire thing including the end characters in black that didn't highlight.

There are 2 pages with Highland Park plant photos. Scroll down below the Nankin Mills photo to get to the link to page 2 (there are 4 pages altogether but only the first 2 have the HPP photos).

Luke,

thanks very much for posting that link. Those photographs are amazing. It looks like some areas havn't changed much since the 'T' days, even looks like the green paint on the walls and ceilings could be from that time. The staircases, the flakey paint ceilings and office areas, the big glass roof and cranes, amazing. I can't believe that in parts in what looks like such an abandoned, run down building that the electricity is still on the the lights are going. Some of that old wiring must be just waiting to let smoke out ! What wouldn't I give to go exploring there.

Thanks again,

Regards,
Bede

The Highland Park facility is still in use. Several companies are leasing space in some of the buildings and Ford continues to maintain a presence there. It is not abandoned by any means.

Note: I do not presume to speak on behalf of the Ford Motor Company and these are my personal observations.

Tom, perhaps I should have said abandoned 'areas' or unmaintained 'areas' of the building. Sorry.

It would be amazing to do a then and now Photo spread with locations from the T era and the same location today. It looked like several of the shots with all the columns were were the final assembly line ran.

Here's one I did sometime back.

I have plans to do more using era photos & postcards, but I have not had a lot of free time the past year or so.
