Fredericksburg VA Virginia Home Mary Washington Chrome Postcard Unused

This vintage postcard features the historic Home of Mary Washington located at Charles and Lewis Streets in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The house, remodeled in 1772 by George Washington for his mother, Mary Washington, is a significant landmark where many notable figures such as Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, Lafayette, and George Mason were entertained. The postcard captures the classic white wooden exterior with black shutters and brick chimneys, surrounded by a white picket fence and shaded by mature trees.

Printed by Garrison Color Corp., Dumont, N.J., this postcard showcases photography by Joyce L. Haynes. It measures the standard postcard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches and is a color lithograph print, typical of mid-20th century postcards. The back includes a detailed historical description, adding to its collectible appeal for enthusiasts of American history, Virginia landmarks, and colonial architecture. A great addition for collectors interested in presidential history and early American homes.
