Add to SetSummary
Henry and Clara Ford lived in Detroit, but preferred spending time in nature. Around 1910, the Fords built a small home west of the city on private farmland near the Rouge River in Dearborn. Here, at "the Bungalow," the Ford family could enjoy birdwatching, entertain friends, and stay overnight. Henry and Clara soon selected this secluded site for their Fair Lane estate.
