Before and after photos of Henry Ford’s failed attempt to build a rubber-producing plantation town in the Amazon.

Many of the rubber trees were killed by insects and blight, and this attempt to recreate a piece of suburban, industrial Michigan in the rainforest was abandoned. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2382104/Inside-decaying-ruins-Henry-Fords-failed-rainforest-city-Fordlandia-based-suburban-Michigan.html -- source link
