About this postcard

The picture shows 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 says the house overlooks the Pacific not far from Beverly Hills, California. Will Rogers, the humorist, actor, and newspaper columnist, made his home at this ranch; after his death in 1935, the property was preserved as Will Rogers State Historic Park.
