Built in 1911, Henry Ford's house displays characteristics of the American Bungalow architectural style, including deep covered porches, sturdy columns, cypress ceiling beams, yellow pine moldings, and built-in benches. In the dining room and pantry, custom cabinets and window seats disguise ample storage. Although the furnishings on display are not original to the Ford family, they were chosen to reflect both the era the family visited Fort Myers and the type of furnishings found in their home in Dearborn, Michigan.
