Clara Ford and Grandson William Clay Ford Walking at Richmond Hill, circa 1930
Add to SetSummary
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.
