what is shown in the picture is the end of the "AA" building and the "Z" building. the "AA" building was the first on the site, along with the power plant and two administration buildings. 2/3's of "AA" was torn down in the late 60's along with one of the administration buildings and the power plant. the model t strip mall stands on that site today. the "Z" building [[along with the adjoining "X" and "Y" together which form the crytal palace), 1/3 of the "AA" building and the administration building [["OO") still stand today.

speaking of retailers, in that section of the building ford actually ran stores in the factory themselves. the idea was that you took your voucher on payday to the ford bank, cashed it, then bought all of your wares from ford in the factory. this included everything from appliances to bread to furniture.
