Dearborn context
Dearborn's neighborhoods trace largely to the four-decade buildout of the Ford River Rouge Complex and the postwar subdivisions that followed the city's 1929 consolidation. Brick bungalows near the river, mid-century ranch homes further out, heavy clay soil, and a persistently high water table along the Rouge River lowlands all shape how a deck gets footed and framed here.
