Leeedy-would it have been one of the buildings on Mack, near the center of this 1956 aerial?


Ahhh. Now if my eyes are not tricking me, I can see what looks like East Warren Avenue, Conner Avenue and what looks like it may be Mack. There was indeed a Briggs building on Mack at one time, but remember this was during the New Packard Plant era of late 1954-1956. So it would not necessarily be a former Briggs property. And while I would know the Packard retrofit/countermeasure building if I saw it from the ground, I'm not so sure about seeing it from the air. And for whatever reason, my old mind seems to recall Kercheval in here somewhere. I just know you could see it from Conner. But it has been a lot of years now.

My aunt's boss told me all about the activities there when we last talked in the 1970s. But I never kept an address written down and as I recall, there were no signs on the building to indicate what was inside. But it was a place where car carriers could pull up and load/unload.

When I drove around the area recently, I was almost lost with all of the changes.
