Ford Powerhouse – c. 1955

A view of the Ford Powerhouse on Riverside Drive and Cadillac, from the mid 1950’s shortly after it was expanded. Originally designed by Albert Kahn in 1924, the building still stands, and is still in use today.

Hiding in the left corner is a nice view of the old Riverview Hospital (demolished).

  • Uzzy, I have been doing research on the Windsor school system for the last few years, and I have found many examples where the names of streets or the schools were changed. I haven't yet found out the reason for the name change for the Ford City School, but my project is a long way from completion.
