Physical description:

Black and white press photograph. View of the Mount Vernon estate from the east looking westward, includes the deer park, Mansion, upper garden, outbuildings, and at the top right corner, the Mount Vernon Inn and partial view of the terminal of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Touch-ups have been made to the photo's surface. A stamp on the reverse indicates the photo was run in the Detroit Times. A clipped newspaper caption reads: Historic Mt. Vernon, the estate of George Washington--whose birth the nation celebrated yesterday-is shown as it looks from the air. This unusual photograph was made from an American Airlines plane flying low over the beautiful home to which Washington's thoughts always turned during his strenuous years as leader of the Revolutionary Army.
