- John Burroughs, Frank Sanborn, and Clara Barrus at the Ralph Waldo Emerson House, 1913 - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) greatly influenced John Burroughs. Burroughs first read Emerson's works in 1856 when Burroughs was a 19-year-old preparatory school student. A few years later, Burroughs's first significant essay was mistakenly attributed to Emerson. Other writers knew and shaped the budding naturalist, but Emerson remained his spiritual father. This photo shows the aged Burroughs visiting Emerson's home in Concord, Massachusetts.

- Dining Room at Fair Lane, Home of Clara and Henry Ford, circa 1925 - In the early 1910s, Henry and Clara Ford selected 1300 acres of farmland in Dearborn, Michigan, as the site for a new house -- shunning the eastern suburbs chosen by many of Detroit's wealthy citizens. In 1916, the couple moved into their newly constructed 31,000-square-foot home. The mansion contained 56 rooms including seven bedrooms, fifteen baths, and other standard living spaces.
