Artifact Overview

In 1908, Clara Ford moved into a large new home with her husband, Henry, and son, Edsel. The Italian Renaissance Revival house was built on the corner of Edison and Second Avenues in Detroit. Ford Motor Company's success had brought new prosperity to the family -- and that success would only grow with the introduction of the Model T that fall.
