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.
