The building in question here was pretty much always maintained in good condition. When Packard left it was taken over by Essex Wire Corporation. I believe one of the Essex execs was a former Packard exec...and later sold his Essex holdings for a pile and ended up doing a large golf course in Southern California.

I took numerous photos of this building over the years... 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. When windows started to get broken, the owner simply bricked up the structure completely (it used to have ribbons of glass windows).

It sat available for lease in the bricked-up format for many years. Being bricked-in is probably what saved it. Place was like a fortress.
