The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
Sir John Bennett's clock, watch and jewelry store in London, England originally stood five stories. Mr. Ford was especially attracted to the Gog and Magog figures, who strike the clock. Henry Ford, a watch enthusiast, purchased the building for his historical village in 1928. Village architect Edward Cutler reassembled the structure in a two-story scale, making it compatible with other buildings in the Village.
