A Press Photo of the Old Rawsonville Hotel

I'm committed to the Nankin cause but not $25 committed. Which is how much this 1932 press photo of the Rawsonville Hotel is going for on eBay. The back states that it was located 5 miles from Ypsilanti on the Huron River and was the residence of the Clarence Bennett. The property had been owned by Mrs. Bennett's father Edwin Barlow. Henry Ford also seemingly had a stake in the old hotel having converted a front upper room into a ballroom for children participating in old-time dances. No newspaper is listed on the print.
