MTU student studies Ford Addition


Link to December 20 Iron Mountain Daily News article.

Excerpt: "This kind of project, looking not only at why Ford built houses or what they looked like but also how workers lived in those houses, hopefully creates a record for those who wonder what it used to be like," she said. I" plan to continue working in Michigan's automotive history and historic preservation, so that a generation from now there's still an understanding of the amazing industrial progress that happened in this state. The project also, peripherally, builds on the fantastic historic work already done by people in the Iron Mountain-Kingsford community and hopefully provides some more information."
