    About the presentation

    Albert Kahn is often referred to as the world’s greatest industrial architect, having earned that distinction in significant part because of his work with Henry and Edsel Ford and Ford Motor Company. Mr. Kahn and his firm designed no fewer than 1,069 buildings for Ford Motor Company by the time of his death in 1942. This rich legacy is celebrated in another thoughtful presentation by a noted local historian having deep insight into the subject.
