Color postcard of Susquehanna, a house removed from Cedar Point on the Patuxent River by Henry Ford and rebuilt at Greenfield Village. The story and a half house had both front and rear porches incorporated into the roof line. The fully visible porch has six supporting posts. There are four dormers in the visible side of the roof, an outside end chimney on the far gable end and another large chimney up through the center of the building. There is a narrow window in the roof peak of the near gable end. On the first floor of the gable end is a twelve light window with dark shutters. Under the porch roof on the left is a door and three? windows. The porch floor is probably two steps above the ground. Beyond the house is a sizable windmill with four blades. A flock of sheep grazes on the lawn. Behind the house is a square, pyramid roof outbuilding. There are several large trees. It is a lovely scene.

It served for many years both as the town meeting place and as the home of Christopher Rousby, the King's collector of customs in Maryland.
The Dutch type windmill is of the same vintage and was built on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It is one of the oldest in the country." "Curteichcolor reproduction from Kodachrome original"Collection
