EntranceSign

Other sub-divisions have entrance signs and it appears that many of you want one, too. While it may be difficult to qualify with the Michigan Registry of Historical Homes, we can install one similar to it. We are proposing installing one or two signs --- Where do you think they should be located? A draft of the two-sided sign is attached. Also, please advise Al Rice, or any of the other Board members, if you know the name of the architect who designed your home.

A section is also available called "Architects." The section includes a directory with Name, Address, and Architect. We have heard from some of the subdivision residents regarding their architects, but are looking for more responses. Please forward the information for your home so others can share the history of your architect.

Golfcrest Country Club Sub-Division
Entrance Sign 1st Side Proposal

Golfcrest Country Club Estates

The City of Dearborn is proud of the Golfcrest
Country Club Estates subdivision and its unique
Frank Lloyd Wright 1950's predominate theme
of one-story ranch homes on wide lots.
Originally Henry Ford, inventor of the Model T,
owned the naturally wooded property, and
Leys Ritenour, Irving Im'Oberstag and Nathan
King developed it in the 1950s. The majestic
Henry Ford Estate is located across the Rouge
River and was initially designed by Mr. Wright's
student, Marion Mahony Griffin, and landscape
architect Jens Jensen. The beautiful Dearborn
Country Club, developed by Henry Ford, is
adjacent to the subdivision, as is the impressive
contemporary styled First Presbyterian Church.
This church and several of the timeless, traditional
ranch homes were designed by Alden Dow
and Bradley Storrer who were students of the
famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The homes
reflect Mr. Wright's concepts of innocuous and
somewhat hidden entrances, and low sloping roof
lines that blend in with the trees and surrounding
environment.
