I am a retired architect and car collector who reveres the legacy of Edsel and Eleanor Ford. <br /><br />Under Edsel's direction, the Ford Motor Company created some of the most beautiful cars of the 1930's, and after Edsel's death in 1943, Eleanor carried on as a patron of the arts in Detroit. I visited their home in Grosse Point Shores several years ago. <br /><br />Now that I live in Florida, I want to find some information about their winter home in Hobe Sound.Tom Sheaffernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185045903146972312.post-52472756980956515632011-03-26T14:32:40.877-04:002011-03-26T14:32:40.877-04:00Nice pile of rocks!

I also love the old postcard photo. Is that a postcard you own?<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to scan these images, they are such a rarity. I'm glad you saved the brochure!

I am a docent at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan and am always looking for info on the family and their wonderful sense of style and design. Skylands is a remarkable house and a true reflection of the sense of welcoming, family and, most importantly, home that was so important to the Fords. As you mentioned, we also enjoy the magnificent landscape architecture of Jens Jensen and are preparing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth this year with special tours accentuating his vision for and of the Estate. Nothing can compare though to the breathtaking landscape of Skylands!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238915504548311898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185045903146972312.post-52848547592889479212009-12-31T08:25:05.491-05:002009-12-31T08:25:05.491-05:00The hall, a living-hall I suppose and a 19th centu...The hall, a living-hall I suppose and a 19th century idea, is lovely. Cavernous, certainly, but looks as it it would be welcoming in any season. The living room is another matter. Very interesting!
