Great Buildings by Albert Kahn

Albert Kahn was born in Rhaunen, Germany in 1869. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1880 and became a famous industrial designer. By the late 1930s Kahn employed over 600 people and was responsible for nearly a fifth of the industrial buildings within the U.S.

Wayne County has several of Albert Kahn's most significant industrial structures: The Highland Park Ford Plant, the General Motors Building, the Fisher and New Center Building, and the Lincoln Motor Company Plant are among them.
