Clara and Henry Ford built Fair Lane on 1,300 acres a few miles from where they both were born. As Henry rose to global fame with the success of the Model T, Fair Lane was their sanctuary. The estate along the Rouge River included a hydro-electric powerhouse and dam, greenhouse, skating house, staff cottages, poultry house, and pony barn, as well as a private garage and laboratory for Henry.
