Description

The houses are seen against a backdrop of autumn leaves. Text on the item verso reads "The 'cottages' in which John Adams (1735) and John Quincy Adams (1767) were born are the oldest presidential birthplaces in the United States. They are 'Salt-boxes' and typical of the homes built by farmers during the colonial period in New England." "Plastichrome" by Natural Color Company, Inc.
