Roof replacement of The Henry Ford's Main Storage Building
The replacement of the roof for a newly-acquired
collections storage facility, allowing The Henry Ford to unite all of its collections
within its campus and provide enhanced security and accessibility.
Funds from this grant program and matching funds raised will enable THF to replace roof sections on a newly acquired Main Storage Building (MSB). THF has consolidated off-site storage into this onsite facility, which will increase care, access and overall stewardship of the collection. The roof sections to be replaced have a short functional life span. Replacing the roof will ensure the physical integrity of our collections for future generations.
