The urban legend that we heard as kids growing up near Balduck Park on the far east side... was that when Edsel & Eleanor Ford built their Grosse Pointe Shores Gaukler Pointe estate in the 1920s, they imported a lot of materials from England in order to make their Cotswold style house appear authentically English. And among the imports were black squirrels.
Has anyone else ever heard this story?
