Construction of International Harvester Company, Indianapolis Works, September 3, 1937

Description:	In 1937 the International Harvester Company (now Navistar Corporation) built a plant devoted to the construction of motor trucks and farm machinery on the east side of Indianapolis at 5565 Brookville Road. As the bulldozers and cranes turned the field and farmhouse into a factory the Bass Photo Company documented the event. Seen here is the second image taken of the construction project. The J.L. Simmons Company was the contractor. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
