Description
The Globe Trading Company warehouse is a site that has a rich and complex history.
Built in 1892 at Orleans and Atwater, it was originally the Dry Dock Engine Works. An 1881 advertisment describes the company as “manufacturers of steam engines, propeller wheels and machinery of all kinds.” A young Henry Ford worked there as a machinist from 1880-1892 in the original building, before the Dry Dock Engine Works company moved into the larger building now standing at the site. Thomas Edison also served a stint as an apprentice there.
