"Motor Routes to the Dearborn Inn" and "Motor Routes to the Nittany Lion," 1932

01

Artifact Overview

Henry and Edsel Ford contracted with L. G. Treadway Service Company of New York City to operate the Dearborn Inn in 1931, soon after it opened. The newly constructed first-class hotel differed from Treadway's other historic properties, but its corporate identity of recreating interiors reminiscent of a New England inn fit the Fords' idea. Treadway managed the Dearborn Inn until 1939.
