The Highland Park plant of the Ford Motor Company, 1922

Designed by Albert Kahn in 1908, the Ford plant in Highland Park, near Detroit, Michigan, became the world's first car factory to use assembly lines in 1913. A Model T could now be built in 93 minutes (instead of the previous 728 minutes), which also led to a steady reduction in the purchase price. Car production at the plant ceased in the 1920s. Tractors and car parts continued to be made at Highland Park. Today, part of the complex is used by the Ford Motor Company for archives and storage, while other parts have fallen into disrepair.
