Ford Rotunda 1962 on Fire - People & Places - Blue Oval Forums

On November 8, 1962, the famous Ford Rotunda stood in
Dearborn,
Michigan for the last time: the next day, it is
destroyed in a massive fire. Some 1.5 million people
visited the Rotunda each year, making it the fifth most
popular tourist attraction in the U.S. (behind
Niagara Falls,
Smokey Mountain National Park,
the Smithsonian, and the
Lincoln Memorial).

Ford had commissioned the Rotunda for the 1933 Century
of Progress exposition in
Chicago and had moved it to
Dearborn when the fair ended.
