Dorwart Cottage, Landisville Camp Meeting Grounds, Landisville, Pa., 1916

Dorwart Cottage, Landisville Camp Meeting Grounds, Landisville, Pa., 1916
Caption: "Dorwart Cottage, Landisville Camp Grounds." Sign above doorway: "Campview."

Postmarked in 1916 in Landisville, Pa., and addressed to Mrs. Edward Searlis, 607 W. King St, Lancaster, Pa. (and forwarded from there to 653 State St., Albany, N.Y.).

Handwritten message: "Here for a week at this cottage. With love, H. Y. Sprecher."

The Landisville Camp Meeting, located in Landisville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, still exists today. The religious camp meeting consists of 27 acres that include 53 cottages and a tabernacle that seats 800, though I'm not sure whether the building pictured on this postcard is still standing.
