In 1925, an airport opened in Dearborn, Michigan. Edsel and Henry Ford conceived the Dearborn Inn as a business opportunity, a first-class hotel hosting pilots and travelers transiting through the Ford Airport. It is noted as one of the first airport hotels. This aerial photograph shows some of the airfield and the inn (bottom). Also note the Henry Ford Museum's clock tower in the distance.
