This is a nice landscape view of the “Summer House” where George Washington must have spent some of his leisure time and entertained guest. The square pavilion or gazebo has white columns and a cupola, set on a red brick base with steps at the right edge. It is nestled in the trees and bushes that lead down to the Potomac and the Maryland shore beyond. Mount Vernon was the plantation of George Washington and his wife Martha. The Washington family owned land in the area since the time of Washington’s great-grandfather in 1674. Around 1734 they embarked on an expansion of the estate that continued under George, who began leasing the estate in 1754, but did not become its sole owner until 1761. It remained Washington’s home for the rest of his life. In 1858, the house’s historical importance was recognized and was saved from ruin by the “Mount Vernon Ladies Association” and is still owned and operated by the “Ladies Association”. The mansion and 30 outbuildings occupied 8,000 acres when Washington lived there but the current property consists of 500 acres. wikipedia
This is a “Photstint” published by the “Detroit Publishing Co.” and is a nice and different view of the “Summer House” at Mount Vernon. It is postmarked but not readable, but it looks to be an early card. It is in good condition with minor wear on the corners and edges. The image is clean and clear as is the reversed.
