There are some great B&W images of the Packard plant at SilentBuildings.com.

Your notion has merit, regardless of the fact that architect Kahn's design incorporated steel reinforced concrete which replaced wood in factory walls, roofs, and supports. ;)

They should at least, save the facade.

Someone was there before Banksy.

I’d like to have that Packard door front. That’s worth saving.

Thanks for the link. I like the artistry in the design of many older buildings and houses.
