More about Camp North End

Camp North End is a “new old” place. Ford Motor Company built it in 1924 as manufactured Model T and Model A automobiles there. After that it was used by the U.S. Army as a missile assembly and storage space. It’s got an interesting history.

I had a chance to visit and take some pictures. Read more about it here and look at some pictures.

Now it’s being developed by ATCO for offices, event space, retail, artist studios and public gathering space, all the while preserving the historical space.
