No former residents of this house were as famous or as internationally renowned as American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963). This house, discovered by Henry Ford on a drive through Ann Arbor, Michigan, became a stellar example of Greek Revival architecture in Ford's Greenfield Village, and it still exhibits furnishings from the period. Only within this century has its most celebrated resident reclaimed his rightful place.
