Once the headquarters of the American Motors Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, this historic building will soon be demolished. Constructed in 1927 by the Kelvinator Corporation to manufacture refrigerators, the company was purchased by Nash Motors in 1937. Nearly 20 years later, Nash and Hudson merged to form the American Motors Corporation in 1954. American Motors produced cars under brands like AMC and Jeep until Chrysler acquired the company in 1987. Chrysler used this facility as a Jeep and Dodge engineering lab until abandoning it in 2010. Now, as the building is slated for demolition in 2022, take one last look at the former hub of innovation that once stood here. A new auto parts manufacturing plant will rise in its place.
