This interesting group of photos documents construction of the two-hundred and fifty homes that were built in Dearborn, MI, between 1919 and 1920 for employees Henry Ford and Son Tractor Plant. Recognizing the lack of nearby, affordable housing, Henry Ford hired architect Albert Wood to design the homes, which were built six blocks away from the tractor plant. Ninety-four homes were built in 1919 and a hundred and fifty-six a year later.

From the Benson Ford Research Center:

“The Dearborn Realty & Construction Company built the houses using the production method instead of craftsmen building the house from start to finish, the company had specialized crews come in to complete each task and then move to the next house. A crew would dig out the basement, the next would add the foundation, then another team would put up the frame and so on. The company hired Ford Motor Company workers whenever possible to work on the crews, as Ford believed men should get out of the factory for part of the year and could use their skills from the job in other areas...Unlike earlier Ford housing plans for Fordson Village, the Dearborn Realty & Construction Company did not focus on community amenities such as parks, community gathering places, stores, etc. but more on creating modern conveniences in the houses such as underground electric lines, telephones in houses, optional garages, and up to date bathrooms and kitchens. “
