President Ford resided in the home from the age of 8 to the age of 17. He used the second floor of the garage as a social club for he and his friends where they played penny-ante poker. He is quoted as saying "it was a great hideaway because my parents wouldn't climb the ladder to the second floor-- or so I thought." Of all of his homes he remembers this one most vividly.
The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
