- Description:
- Exterior view of the front of the Henry Ford estate in Dearborn, Michigan. "Fair Lane's design was taken over by Marion Mahony Griffin, a former student of [Frank Lloyd] Wright who was with the Chicago architectural firm of Van Holst & Fyfe, Griffin's plans closely embodied Wright's "Prairie School" design philosophy, as the story goes, Mr. Ford noticed that the Van Holst people were being quite extravagant with the use of materials in the construction of Fair Lane's footings and foundation, it has also been said that Clara Ford and Griffin were at odds over certain aspects of Fair Lane's design, in 1912, the Fords returned from their first trip to Europe with a new found appreciation for English manor houses, Henry Ford soon dismissed the Van Holst & Fyfe firm and hired the Pittsburgh concern of William H. Van Tine, under Van Tine, Fair Lane's design was greatly modified, the result was an eclectic mixture of English castle elements juxtaposed with Wright-Midwestern prairie features," from entry at Henry Ford Estate website.
