The Henry Ford Home was built in 1911 as an example of the American Bungalow architectural style, with exterior features including cedar-shingle siding, wide covered porches, a gabled metal roof, dormers with decorative beams, and sturdy porch columns. Interior finishes included cypress ceiling beams and yellow pine moldings, built-in benches and a window seat, and cabinet and shelf storage. Although most of the furnishings on display are not original, records indicate they are in the style of the Ford residences, and the grandmother clock in the living room is understood to be original to the Ford Home in Fort Myers. In the late 1920’s, Ford added two bedrooms and bath suites to the first floor as wings to the original building for guests and staff such as his secretary, Frank Campsall, who accompanied him during several trips. The second floor contained bedrooms for the Fords and their son Edsel, as well as a study, indoor bathroom, and sleeping porch.
