Constructed between 1923 and 1925, Skylands was the Seal Harbor summer home of Detroit-based businessman and philanthropist Edsel Ford and his wife Eleanor and was sited near his soon-to-be friend John D. Rockefeller’s summer estate, the Eyrie, and Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. The 63-acre estate was built and designed by architect Duncan Candler and landscape designer Jens Jensen with the intent of blending the 12-bedroom house with Ford’s surrounding property on Ox Hill. The name Skylands paid homage to the panoramic view offered by the house’s placement at 350 feet above sea level.

The estate passed from the Ford family in 1980 and to Martha Stewart in 1997.

The caption reads, ""Skylands", Summer Home of Edsel Ford, Seal Harbor, Maine."

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
