Description
The Dibble, or American Gothic House, served as a model for the small white frame building which appeared in the background of American painter Grant Wood's painting American Gothic (1930). A year before his painting which now hangs in the Chicago Art Institute was completed, the Iowa painter was invited by a gallery in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to give a sketching exhibition in Eldon which is located in Wapello County south of Cedar Rapids. Apparently Wood's search for the right house with the proper window to appear in his next painting ended upon first sight of this small frame house in Eldon. Grant Wood painted the man and woman in the painting who he thought might live there.
This home has 2 fireplaces, decorated in country charm and some shabby chic. I hope your sims will love living here.
