325 S Old Woodward Ave, Birmingham, MI, USA

The Ford-Peabody Mansion is one of Birmingham’s most iconic buildings. Frank Ford built this beautiful house in 1878 using his wife’s money. The house was designed by Almon C. Varney, a famous Detroit architect. Ford and his wife lived in the house until their daughter, Alta, and her husband, J. Bert Peabody, took over the property after they were married in 1893. C and G News Brittany Hendryx Birmingham Historical Museum and Park Seated on the front steps of the home during more pleasant weather are, at the top left, Alta Ford Peabody and at the right J. Bert Peabody with his younger son, Clyde, on his knee. At the left, in front, is daughter Cora who is seated next to her elder brother Ford. Clyde was born in 1902. Original Owner: Frank Ford Architect: Almon C. Varney
