1. Henry Ford's Brother, William Ford, had this house built... Marker
in 1909 for his Daughter and her family.
Three layers of bricks, from the local Clippert Brick Yard, comprise the structure. The garage in the rear of the lot (formerly known as the barn), housed small livestock and chickens (the sounds of which can still be heard if you listen and imagine carefully).
Until 2011, this was the residence of the Carmen and Rose Gemus.
The vehicle in the driveway is a 1926 Model T Ford, that put the USA, the world and Dearborn, Michigan on wheels and brought Henry Ford himself here for many visits with his Niece and her family.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to take a photo of you and the 1926 Ford Model T.
