WSU to build $93 million biotech hub

[downtownguy]

I just ran across this very interesting history of American Electric Heater Company ironically on, of all sites, WSU's TechTown.

Sadly, the author was perhaps a little too optimistic when she concludes the article with these words:

Someday the building, now owned by Wayne State University, will be converted into another TechTown business incubator. “It all started with electricity,” observes Robert W. Kuhn [grandson of Robert Kuhn, founder of the American Electrical Heater Company]. “Wouldn’t it be neat to make it an alternative energy incubator?”
