Rebuilding Cotswold Cottage in Greenfield Village, July 1930
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford was attracted to the distinctive character of buildings from the Cotswold region of southwest England. Yellow-brown stone, tall gables, steeply pitched roofs, and stone ornamentation around windows and doors typify the local architectural features. Ford purchased one of the region's cottages, then had it dismantled and shipped to Greenfield Village, where it was reassembled in 1930.
