While poking though some microfilm the other day, I noticed this building in a December 1952, issue, and thought it looked familiar…
The building is called the United Automobile, Aircraft & Agricultural Implement Workers of America Union Hall in the photographs, better known as the UAW.
The building is still around today, and is in use as an X-Ray clinic.
It’s always intersting to find out the past lives of buidlings…

Also don’t forget the Blogger Meet-up – 7:30-ish tonight at the Gourmet Emporium on Wyandotte @ Chilver.
Feel free to drop by…
Other than covering a few of the windows the building looks untouched from the outside. Was it originally built for the union hall or was it used for something else before that?
Guido, based on the 1952 date in the photo, and the architectural style of the building, it was pretty new in the photo above. I’m pretty sure that it was built for the UAW.
Anyone out there know when they moved out?
neat! i’m not sure when they moved out, but i’m sure it had something to do with not being able to fit so many over inflated ego’s in such a small space lol
i wish companies wouldn’t brick up windows like that. it always gives me the impression that a place is on the edge of oblivion.
