Apparently it is. Note the Property Tax history may be a reflection of Senior Income Discounts of previous owners
Built in 1908, this was the home of Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford. The Fords lived in this property from 1908 to 1915. The current owners are the 4th stewards of this special property & are true historians and archivists.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

I sincerely doubt it. The car does not belong to the current home owner. It was loaned for the photo shoot.

Here’s a link to inside. Not my cup of tea, unless I wanted to role play that I’m a time traveller stuck in 1915… I enjoy doing that when I drive my Ts, but not once I get home I guess

My last home was a historic home on narrow brick streets. It was a gracious home which contributed to a feeling of contentedness and well-being that likely cannot be appreciated by someone who has not experienced it. What a change from the IKEA pressed paper home I first bought when I was young and broke. That first place was a house but it was not a home. My last place was a home.

Presently, my cabin comes with a rustic Yellowstone-ey lodge-like feel complete with howling wind and spectacular views that go for 50 miles. It is it's own version of "home" now. I do miss my "gracious" home, but I do not miss the screaming drunks on the doorstep or the perpetually broken car locks that finally became associated with that home, so in the end, "good riddance".

The FORD home looks to be spectacular and maintained with the care and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ that it necessarily requires.

Thank you for sharing
