Scale Model of Henry and Clara Ford's Richmond Hill House, 1936
This small house was intended for planning rather than play. It is a 1/12th scale model of Richmond Hill, the winter home Henry and Clara Ford built near Savannah, Georgia, in 1936-1937. Clara Ford used this model to help plan the furnishings for her new home, which was inspired by an 1820s southern plantation house.
