Henry Ford wanted to use hydroelectricity to provide power for his Fair Lane estate. Here, Ford is shown standing on the banks of the Rouge River in front of a hydroelectric dam that Jensen camouflaged so carefully that it appeared to be natural rapids. This dam remains the most extensive of Jensen’s renowned river-edge rock creations. ID.P.833.5713
