    This Greek Revival-style cobblestone is at 3555 West Delhi Road, Ann Arbor, just west of Delhi settlement. The house was built by Norman Goodale, an important mill owner during Delhi's days of prominence, for his mother, Harriet Church Goodale. He settled here in 1838, so the house was probably built about that time. After the Goodale ownership, it had several owners, including Henry Ford, who used it as a retreat, especially enjoying it when the peach trees were in bloom. Richard Palmer blog.

    Also known as the William Burnett House.
