Before moving the Wright Home from Dayton, Ohio, to Greenfield Village in November 1936, Henry Ford's agents found and took detailed photographs of the building's exterior. These photos helped the team reassemble the structure in Dearborn, Michigan. Orville Wright also assisted to ensure the reconstruction's accuracy.
