Description

Detached industrial building, built c. 1925, possibly part of former Henry Ford & Son Motor Works; now disused. Flat roof. Profiled metal cladding to roof; patent metal glazing to south and north facades. Loading bays with metal doors. Now part of Marina Commercial Park.

Appraisal

Industrial building, apparently early twentieth-century; although simple may be significant as part of former Henry Ford & Son Motor Works. Probably designed by the American architect Albert Kahn who acted as the main industrial architect for the Ford Motor Company.
