About this postcard

The picture shows the Will Rogers' Ranch House in the Santa Monica Mountains: a long, two-story white house with a second-floor balcony, set among mature trees and a lawn furnished with wooden rocking chairs and flower pots. The printed caption adds that it overlooks the Pacific not far from Beverly Hills, California. Will Rogers, the humorist, actor, and columnist, made his home at this ranch; the property is now Will Rogers State Historic Park.
