- Black and white photograph of Henry and Clara Ford's neighbors on Alexandrine Avenue. Thirteen people are in the picture; nine women and four men stand to the side of a wood house, near the steps leading to the front entrance. Attached to the back of the photograph was a typewritten copy of a letter sent from Helen G. Doremus to Henry Ford stating the following: Dear Mr. Ford: Mary, Bob, and Frank join me in sending our very best wishes to you for your birthday. The enclosed snap is one I found the other day when looking through a box of pictures and I thought Mrs. Ford and you might be in it. These people were neighbors on Alexanderine Ave. I do not know all of them, but I do remember some-- perhaps you know the rest. The two ladies seated in the center (left) Mrs. Mills (right) Mrs. Green. The man and woman standing back of them are Gus Mills and Helen Mills Porter. The lady with the derby hat is Kit Green and the lady in white standing back of the hammock is Lillie Muehle. The note on the back of the picture is in Miss Muehle's writing. I hope that Mrs. Ford and you enjoy a pleasant and restfull vacation at Huron Mountain. Very sincerely, Helen G Doremus 18135 Ford Road Dearborn MI July 29, 1944

- Black and white photograph of Moore House, Henry and Clara Ford's first home. This picture is taken from a side angle, the front of the house is visible as well as the side and a wooden barn in the back of the house. Two steps lead up the very small wooden porch at the front entrance of the house. The house has three chimneys, shutters at each window and a farm field in the background of the house. From the front the house appears to have only one story but from the side a second floor of windows is apparent.
