history
The building dates from 1923 when it was
originally designed and built by Henry Ford
as a Model T assembly plant and showroom.
It became a place people gathered to see
the latest automobiles as they rolled off the
assembly line. This area of downtown became
known as the Ford Corner and was the place
to be on Saturday morning
|
Continuing the building's tradition of community
popularity, the community came together to
transform it into the Bloomington/Monroe County
Convention Center in 1991. The meeting and
event space immediately drew thousands of
people for statewide association events,
regional public events, corporate recognition
and family social events.
