A 1960s color photo of the original control tower and terminal building at Kent County Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan, during 1964. The striking mid-century modern tower features stacked white balconies and a glass-enclosed cab, rising above a sleek, two-story terminal building. An American flag flies in the background near a large cargo or maintenance hangar. The clean lines of the architecture and the empty, sun-drenched tarmac capture the airport shortly after its relocation to Cascade Township in the early 1960s.
Today, this site is known as the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, having been renamed in 1999 to honor the 38th U.S. President. While the airport has undergone massive expansions to become a major regional hub, the distinctive 1960s control tower remained a landmark for decades before being replaced by a more advanced facility. The original terminal area has been integrated into much larger, modern concourses designed to handle millions of passengers annually.
