Dodge Hamtramck Plant Main Building #3 (Die Shop) Description and Photos
When Smith, Hinchman & Grylls designed the Die Shop in 1915, they had to place it under an existing 150,000 gallon water tower for sprinklers, a structure they had previously designed in 1912. The four-story rectangular building measures 50 feet wide and 488 feet long, has a flat roof, steel sash, and an interior flat-slab framing system, with ten-sided mushroom columns. The southern end connects at the second, third, and fourth levels with Assembly Building No. 1.
