[Leica] Patriotic House in Medina, NY

[Christopher Crawford]

Actually it was in 1959 that they added the two stars to the flag. Sorry, its 2am and I'm half asleep!

    Good catch! I didn't even notice that myself. The flag DOES only have 48 stars. The American flag was changed to 50 stars in 1950 when Alaska and Hawaii both became states. The flag on the house was not old, it looked new. Wonder why they are using a version of the flag that ceased to be the official American flag 70 years ago??

        Very unusual to see an American flag with 48 stars nowadays.
