The American Gothic House, also known as the Dibble House, is an iconic Carpenter Gothic house in Eldon, Iowa.  It was the backdrop of the 1930 painting American Gothic by Grant Wood.  You can visit the house and even take yer own jacka$$tic photos!!
Wood decided to paint the house along with ‘the kind of people I fancied should live in that house.’  He recruited his sister Nan (1899–1990) to model the woman, dressing her in a colonial print apron mimicking 19th century Americana. The man is modeled on Wood’s dentist, Dr Byron McKeeby (1867–1950) from Cedar Rapids, Iowa
July 19, 1980 – on Nan Wood Graham’s birthday, and 50 years after the painting was completed, Carl E Smith and Nan pose in front of the house in celebration of mounting the bronze National Historic Plaque on the American Gothic House [via]

Being a father has given me so much. Although for the first few years of this incredible duty and journey, it robbed me of my once great passion of seeing movies. Alas, I pushed movie-going on my daughter about as early as I could, and now she’s beyond game to go, although we’re not quite […]
