Rouge Plant ??

Hello,
When reading the history on Henry's, Model A Ford frequently the massive Rouge Plant is mentioned. The plant covered over 1,096 acres west of Detriot on the River Rouge.On site were blast furnaces, coke ovens, machine shops, glass furnaces, foundry, paper mill, steel mill, body plant, locomotive repair shop and power plants.I wish the clock could be turned back so I could stroll inside the plant.Does anyone know if any signs of the old plant still exist ?? What is on the site today ??

JustWoundered,
Tim Wildey
