Google earth image from June 1, 2011 showing only a small portion (about half of the original) of factory #11 still standing. I'm pretty sure this section was gone by July 22, 2011 when I was there. |
I tried getting a different view of the demolition from the east entrance of Leith st. but this was as close as I could get. |
The wall beyond the angled (or saw-tooth roof is all that is left at the north-end of factory #11 but this was a later addition. |
Checking push rods in #11 1937. |
Milling the Buick 8 on a machine that the workers called , "merry-go- round" in 1937. |
All that was left as of July 22,2011. Facing east. |
Factory #11/31 viewed from Oak Park on July 22,2011. I did not realize at that time that this facade was all that was left of the original plant built in 1909. View facing north-east. |
