Phoenix Mill, Historical mill in Plymouth Township, Wayne County, United States
The Phoenix Mill stands along the Middle Rouge River, featuring industrial architecture from the 1920s with a hydroelectric power generation system by Thomas Edison.
Henry Ford established Phoenix Mill in the 1920s as part of his Village Industrial Mills project, where it produced automobile parts during World War II.
The facility holds distinction as the only Ford mill that employed an all-female workforce during World War II, reflecting the changing role of women in manufacturing.
Located at 14973 Northville Road, the mill undergoes transformation into a public assembly space and restaurant while maintaining its historical structure.
The mill incorporates engineering elements from both architect Albert Kahn and inventor Thomas Edison, combining industrial design with renewable energy systems.
