Ford had originally opened their Memphis assembly plant in Midtown in 1913. There, before Henry Ford's assembly line structure had even been perfected, workers made wooden wheels and the wooden body foundations, which were fastened to the chassis of Model T's. In 1924, operations were moved to the new facility on South Parkway, an important structure in its own right designed by noted Ford Co. architect Albert Kahn."- http://www.memphisheritage.org/cms/index.php?q=node/326
