Description

3 1/2"h x 5 1/2"w color postcard of Susquehanna in its location in Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. The house was bought by Henry Ford in 1942 to save it before Cedar Point was turned into Patuxent Naval Air Station. It was rebuilt on a large green lawn between big trees. It was a typical St. Mary's County house with a porch on either long side and dormers in the roof. Sheep were grazing nearby (one was up on the porch looking in the door) and a large white windmill was beyond the house. ********************************************** Text on verso: in blue print "Susquehanna House Greenfield Village Dearborn, Michigan This quaint early American home ... home of Christopher Rousby ..."
