The covered rail dock and vent pipes visible in the photo below, can be seen at the extreme left in this photo. This view is facing south. The "Jam Shop" would be located just south of #68, the Buick personnel building at the top right in this photo. In the foreground is the old Michigan Motors Casting plant which became factory #38. Then beyond are the combined factories #31, #32 and #33 which became part of the Buick organization in 1917. These combined factories were then called #31. By 1940 the new axle plant north of Leith street was built and it then became #31. |
