Add to SetSummary
In the 1910s, many wealthy Detroit citizens abandoned the city for eastern suburbs. Henry and Clara Ford sought a different path. They selected 1300 acres of farmland in Dearborn (west of Detroit) as the site for their final home. For this circa 1935 photograph, Henry Ford posed on the sun porch at Fair Lane--overlooking the rambling grounds of his estate.
