The Piquette Avenue Industrial Historic District is a historic district located along Piquette Street in Detroit, Michigan, from Woodward Avenue on the west to Hastings Street on the east. The district extends approximately one block south of Piquette to Harper, and one block north to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Line. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
The area along Piquette was an important center for automobile production in the early 20th century. Ford Motor Company, Studebaker, Cadillac, Dodge, and Regal Motor Car had plants in the area, as well as suppliers such as Fisher Body.[2] In 1910, the two largest automobile producers in the world, Studebaker and Ford, were located next door to each other on Piquette.[2] Although the area is largely empty and derelict now, as recently as the 1950s there were 50,000 workers employed in plants in the district.[2]
