Re: Demolition at the PMCC Plant – Down to 2 Buildings

Sad those buildings couldn't have been repurposed as part of Detroit's halting renaissance, as Pierce-Arrow's complete factory so preserved during Buffalo's rebirth. The Pierce plant was built two and a half years later on the same size acreage, also designed by Albert Kahn, using the same new Trussed Concrete Steel Company products introduced by his brother Julius.

But the Packard plant was fallow too long, too far gone for such use. But we've got the cars, others the parts. If only there were a Packard zone rep, let alone service department around.
