Architectural Description
The Flint Dutee Wilcox Company Automobile Assembly Plant, 1920, is a 1-story, flat-roofed brick building with rectangular window openings. Shallow brick piers divide the walls into large bays. Alterations include filled window openings on the north side, and new casement windows and garage-door openings on the west side. The northeast corner was beveled to admit a rail spur (not extant) to the interior of the block (Roth 1988).
