Description
Henry Ford had been interested in Alternative energy. When he built Fair Lane Mansion in 1914 on 1,300 acres in Dearborn Michigan he harnessed the power of the Rouge River to run the estate entirely on hydroelectric power.
Fair Lane Mansion's hydroelectric power was generated in a stand alone power house on the property. The powerhouse was dedicated by Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Ford's good friend and famous inventor, in October 1914. The Eight-foot Dam powered two 55-Kilowatt generators that continue to function today.
