Artifact Overview
In 1919, Edsel Ford and Ernest Liebold, Henry Ford's executive secretary, organized a company to build 250 houses in the Molony Subdivision in Dearborn, Michigan. Priced around $6,500 to $8,000, the homes attracted white-collar Ford employees. An elementary school, Southwestern School, was added to the neighborhood in 1921. It was renamed DuVall Elementary School to honor a longtime principal in 1958.
