Liebold, Robert.

The Ford Motor Company Rouge River Plant, designed largely by noted Detroit architect Albert Kahn, was constructed between 1917 and 1927. At the peak of production, the complex covered over 1,200 acres (two square miles), was comprised of 90 structures, employed 100,000 workers, had 27 miles of conveyors and 90 miles of railroad track. Conceived by Henry Ford as an all-encompassing industrial complex, the Dearborn assembly plant, largest in the world between 1920 and 1950, included all the components of automobile manufacturing, from raw materials to finished product.
