View Of Factory District

This is the Buick main office viewed closeup from the same perspective as shown in the Birdseye view farther below.

Birdseye view of the Oak Park factories as viewed from east of the Flint river. Notice the suspension bridge over the river leading to the factories...this would be removed in 1911. It looks like the river is just receding after a flood. Link:
