For anyone watching Chris Hayes, here's some history on the building where they filmed the show

The building is called 'Factory One'. It's the birthplace of GM.



An automotive archive, research center and event space in the heart of Flint’s historic Carriage Town neighborhood.

The birthplace of General Motors, Durant-Dort Factory One is where bold, innovative visionaries William “Billy” Crapo Durant and Josiah Dallas Dort helped put the world on wheels and the city of Flint on the map.

GM’s renovation of Factory One brings their story – and the building where it all began – full circle, preserving the shared heritage of GM and Flint as a learning tool and gathering space for generations to come.
