Clara Ford and Grandson William Clay Ford Walking at Richmond Hill, circa 1930

Henry and Clara Ford began buying land outside Savannah, Georgia, in 1925. Clara eyed the property for a winter retreat, as it was less humid and more secluded than southwest Florida, where they'd previously wintered. The Fords completed a large house, named Richmond Hill, in 1937 and resided there for several weeks each winter for the remainder of their lives.
