Adam Hats Lofts
Address: 2700 Canton Street
Architect: John Graham
Year Built: 1914
Also known as: Ford Model T Production Plant
This 4-story, red brick building was built by Henry Ford as a production plant for Model T's (Graham was Ford's corporate architect in 1913). In 1925, Ford moved to a new plant, though they continued to use the building as a warehouse and showroom.
In 1955, Adam Hats, a subsidiary of Miller Brothers Hat Co., Inc., bought the building. In 1986, Adam Hats vacated the building, leaving it empty.
Westdale Asset Management Co., who also rehabilitated the 2220 Canton Lofts, bought the building in 1997 and hired Corgan &Associates to renovate the site into 90 loft apartments. The building is a City of Dallas Landmark.
