Block house, Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island, Michigan

View of the block house at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Printed on front: "Old block house, Mackinac Island, Mich." Printed on back: "Fort Mackinac, on an elevation of 133 feet, overlooks the city. It was removed from the town in 1780 after Pontiac's conspiracy and the original stone block houses, erected at that time, are still in their natural state. The picturesque parapets and block houses at the fort welcome all. An inspiring panorama is obtainable from this point. Mackinaw City is 12 miles distant on main land. Pub. by John H. Schwegler, Mackinac Island, Mich. Natural color postcard made in U.S.A. by E.C. Kropp Co., Milwaukee, Wis. (ELL)." Typed on back: "August 23, 1946. Dear Mrs. Rhodes. Expect to be home around Sept. 1st. It has been cool here ... and fine weather. But will be glad to get back in old Detroit. After all no place like your own home. F.E.L."
