1. Making old, new
Camp North End consists of several historic buildings that have served many purposes over the years. In 1924, Henry Ford built a factory there to make Model Ts and Model As. In 1941, the U.S. Army took over the facility, using it to store military supplies during World War II. In the 1950s, Camp North End was repurposed to build and store missiles and renamed Charlotte Army Missile Plant (CAMP). In 1975, and until the 2000’s, Camp North End was a Rite Aid facility.
2. The Boileryard
