Built as a home in 1836 by Orrin Weston, this structure was converted into a tavern by Stephen Jennings in 1841. Milton Botsford bought it in 1860, when it was called the Sixteen Mile House. It served as a stagecoach stop on the Grand River plank road and was popular with drovers, farmers, and travelers. Henry Ford, who had attended dances there with his future wife Clara in the 1880s, bought it in 1924 and renovated it to reflect the Victorian era, first using it as a private retreat and later opening it to the public. The Anhut family bought the property in 1951 and operated it as one of the state's oldest inns until 1999. Botsford Hospital bought the property that year and rehabilitated the building in 2008. Its exterior reflects its Ford-era appearance.
