Edsel & Eleanor Ford House Visitor’s Center & Administration Building
Edsel and Eleanor Ford built an 87-acre estate situated on Lake St. Claire outside of Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Ford family loved to welcome guests to their home which is why opening the estate to the public was a natural transition after Eleanor’s death in 1976. The project scope includes an administration building for Ford House operations, a visitor’s center filled with amenities, and sitework that provides beautiful views to nature and extends public gathering outdoors.
