Points of Interest
History
A HISTORIC ICON
RESTORED.
Renowned architect Albert Kahn designs the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant, the largest auto plant on the West Coast.
The plant joins WWII production efforts, assembling jeeps, tanks and military combat vehicles, and becomes known as the “Richmond Tank Depot”. After building 49,000 jeeps and 91,000 other military vehicles, the plant reverts back to auto manufacturing.
Last Ford is assembled.
The plant closes and remains largely unused for almost 50 years.
University of California sells building to Richmond after using it for book storage.
The building added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The building sustains significant damage after the Loma Prieta earthquake.
The Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park is established to tell stories of home-front efforts at the plant, including women entering the work force for the first time.
The property undergoes a 3-year redevelop-ment plan that includes a complete seismic upgrade. The fully renovated mixed-use property, renamed Ford Point, houses businesses, a restaurant, light industrial, an entertainment space called the Craneway Pavilion, and the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front Visitor Center.
The Ford Point redevelopment wins the American Institute of Architects National Honor Award in 2011.
Ford Point is home to R&D, manufacturing and distribution, advanced manufacturing, flex office and retail—fulfilling its legacy of innovation.
