Unknown1902
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
This elegant vehicle was used by President Theodore Roosevelt on official occasions. Though automobiles began to replace horse-drawn vehicles during the Taft administration, the White House housekeeping department continued using the brougham to haul groceries and run other errands. In 1928 a Model A Ford was acquired for that purpose and this carriage was retired.
