Henry Ford estate draws crowds on Ford's birthday

The vaunted Fair Lane estate, already a beaut, should be even more so when the restoration project is complete.

Excerpt:

"Bob St. Clair met the woman who would become his wife at the Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn...

On Saturday, St. Clair, 53, of Livonia,who works as a groundskeeper at the estate, brought some friends to tour the 56-room house and the grounds for the celebration of Henry Ford's 150th birthday....

Fair Lane, as the estate is known, was home to Henry Ford and his wife, Clara, from 1915 to 1950. Ownership of the national historic landmark has been transferred from the University of Michigan to a new nonprofit Henry Ford Estate, which will be restoring the house and grounds."
