- The George Matthew Adams House was built in 1833 as the Baptist Church Parsonage. It was moved to Greenfield Village in 1937 by Henry Ford, a close friend of Adams.; Nearly every room of the Adams House, built in Saline, Michigan, in 1833, and restored to an 1870s appearance, exhibits the comfort and luxury the Industrial Revolution brought the Victorian family. As a Baptist parsonage, a family living here in the 1870s, walked on machine-woven rugs, sat on machine-cut chairs, drank from machine-pressed glassware and hung machine-printed lithographs on their walls. Adams, born in Saline, Michigan, on August 23, 1878, began as an advertising writer in Chicago in 1904, and founded his own new service, The George Matthew Adams Syndicate, in 1916. This syndicate became a large carrier of new features and columns. Adams wrote several books and was also a noted collector of rare books and etchings.; Adams married twice. His first wife, Harriet Isabel Breese, whom he married on June 3, 19056, died in January, 1931. They had twin sons, George M., and Leland. After the death of his first wife, Adams married Mrs. Robert Scott Harmon, of Philadelphia. Adams died in New York City on October 28, 1962.
