Wow - amazing. When Fisher 1 was closed, THIS building was completely refurbished in 1991-92 and was 'supposed to be' maintained as a historical landmark. GM execs and middle mgmt for Flint Automotive Division , or FAD (manufactured large front-drive cars for Pontiac, Olds, Buick, and Cadillac - like Bonnevilles, Park Aves, Devilles, etc) occupied the building, along with employees from its data subsidiary Electronic Data Systems. I was on the second floor of the building, in a cubicle at an end window looking north along Saginaw Street. It was a tight space, and was awkward for placing cubicles, but it worked. The nearby Great Lakes Tech Center (GLTC) was essentially new, using some of the skeleton of the original Fisher plant - was a very nice building for its time. The GLTC housed GM engineers designing components for all FAD-made cars. Such a shame to see if that way today - so much history there for GM.
Thanks for your valuable info. Sadly everything of value long stripped including the beautiful Fisher Body plaque on the outside of the building which “disappeared” within the last few years.
thank you for showing people a very important piece of history.
