This view on Division street shows factory #40 building #16 north end at right and factory #08 building #02 on left. Building #02 was built in 1917 and was the old train shed used originally for new car shipping. The part visible in this photo was built as a single story with the large sheds located to the east. The first bridge #43 over Division street was for the car carriers transporting finished vehicles overhead to factory #94 new car shipping. The second bridge was for Wheeled vehicles going either to factory #02 or #94. When you enlarge this photo you will notice (a red sign) on building #16 factory #40 above the second truck to the right, that is backed into the dock. The line of window's above this sign show's two exhaust fans. Now just between those two fans you will notice a light colored area. This was where my friend Greg Lamay accidentally knocked out a set of window's with his fork lift truck. The frame landed on top of a truck being unloaded at the dock. Instead of putting the window's back, they just filled this area in with sheet metal. There are a million story's in people's minds from this place called Buick. |
