    DETROIT'S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Milwaukee Junction HAER MI-416 Detroit Michigan WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA FIELD RECORDS HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD DETROIT’S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Location: Milwaukee Junction, Detroit, Michigan The survey boundaries are Woodward Avenue on the west and St. Aubin on the east. The southern boundary is marked by the Grand Trunk Western railroad line, which runs just south of East Baltimore from Woodward past St. Aubin. The northern boundary of the survey starts on the west end at East Grand Boulevard, runs east along the boulevard to Russell, moves north along Russell to Euclid, and extends east along Euclid to St. Aubin. Significance: The area known as Milwaukee Junction, located just north of Detroit’s city center, was a center of commercial and industrial activity for more than a century. Milwaukee Junction served, if not as the birthplace of American automobile manufacturing, then as its nursery. In addition to the Ford Motor Company and General Motors, many early auto manufacturers and their support services (especially body manufacturers like the Fisher Brothers, C.R. Wilson, and Trippensee Auto Body) were also located in the area, probably because of the proximity of the railroads. Historians: Kenneth Shepherd and Richard Sucré, 2003 Project Information: The Historic American Engineering Record conducted a survey of Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction, a center of auto and related industrial production, in summer 2003. The City of Detroit and the city’s Historic Designation Advisory Board sponsored the survey.

Located one mile from the college’s main campus in the Cultural Center, the 11-story, 760,000 sq. ft . Argonaut Building was a dream come true. Designed by Albert Kahn as General Motors’ Engineering and Design Center, it is now home to the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Educati on, a mixed-use educati onal complex housing offi ces for non-profi t organizati ons, a business accelerator, shared public spaces, academic space and student housing for CCS’ undergraduate/graduate design schools. It also serves as an 800-pupil charter school for the Henry Ford Academy. Aft er weeks of programming meeti ngs with the CCS team, the Henry Ford Learning Insti tute and potenti al tenants, the Kahn team established occupant needs. Planning exercises were conducted to determine how the Argonaut Building could best meet needs identi fi ed in the programming sessions. Design concepts implemented planning criteria in an exciti ng and cost eff ecti ve manner, including additi on of a large fl oor opening in the lobby area, re-cladding the arched ceiling of the original design laboratory for use as an auditorium, reuse of an abandoned elevator shaft for a stairwell and fresh air intakes on each fl oor.
