Building #32 is now gone in this south-east view taken July 22, 2011 from Industrial avenue. The north section of the original (an addition added later) factory #11 engine plant is still intact and visible since the removal of most of the east end of factory #66. The last remaining part of the old crankshaft factory #66 east wing can be seen at right. Those angled roof trusses are the ones re-used from the first Buick factory on this north Flint site. These were originally on factory #01 built in 1906 alongside the Weston-Mott factory on Hamilton avenue. "I sure wish they would save those historic pieces". The third iron foundry at the north Flint site (factory #70/81) is the brown factory in the background, it's date of construction was 1926-1927. |
