The Henry Ford

The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States

During the early 19th century, Americans looked to classical Greece for inspiration in establishing our national identity. This extended to architecture, where designs were often based on Greek temples. This house is an excellent example of the Greek revival, built in the early 1830s. Henry Ford admired the house so much that he selected it as his representative of the Greek revival for Greenfield Village.
