Description

A drawing of 1127 Broad St. by artist Marilynn Abel. In the drawing there is a house in the foreground that has a Victorian architecture and that seems to belong to a wealthy family from its vast size. The house is portrayed in black and white; it has two visible floors and maybe a basement as a low window can be seen by the front porch, and various roof heights throughout with certain spaces. There are curtains on the windows, a bicycle on the porch and a path has been cleared from the snow in front of the house leading to the house. Behind the house there are some bare trees looming in the background. At the left of the house there is the number 1127 written out. Meanwhile at the bottom of the artwork the artist has written "The House that Jack Built/Grinnell, Iowa," and her name and date "Marilynn Abel (2/72)."
