Burroughs Adding Machine Plant – Plymouth, MI

While out in Plymouth the other day I came across this factory.

Designed by Albert Kahn in 1938, this building housed the Burroughs Adding Machine.

It served as both offices and a factory.

It is a striking building and looks much younger than 68 years old. One of Kahn’s later works, but very influenced by the modern architecture of the late 1930’s.
