Title: Rock Ford, Home of General Edward Hand

Description: Pencil sketch on paper, showing Rock Ford and some out-buildings. The house is two stories, frame construction on a stone foundation, with a peaked roof and two chimneys. It has a pedimented front door and a large side porch (apparently the porch extended to three sides of the house, although this is not visible in the drawing). A fence is running across the lower right section of the drawing.; The following information is written in the upper right corner: '"Rockford"/on Conestoga--/Lanc. Co. Pa--/Residence of/Gen' Ed Hand/he died here/Oct. 21. 1882.'; Rockford was the country seat of General Edward Hand. It overlooks the Conestoga River slightly south of Lancaster. It was most likely completed in the early 1790s.
