Henry Ford, Ray Dahlinger, Frank Kulick, Jerry Wolfe, and A. B. Jewett at "The Bungalow," Dearborn, Michigan

Summary

Henry and Clara Ford lived in Detroit, but they 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 watch birds, entertain friends, and stay overnight. Soon, the Fords would select this secluded site for their Fair Lane estate.
