COLOR PHOTOGRAVURE OF A HOME IN ELKINS PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
Color: Brown; Green; Yellow
A photogravure of a house, featuring Weatherbest Stained Shingle Company, Inc. products, from a set issued in the 1920s. The artifact, which was housed with others in a cover that is item 2.1, features an image of the Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, which is a English cottage style dwelling, featuring textured plaster walls; triptych windows; a column-supported trellis at the left; an open cement-floor patio at the right; and a thatch-like roof with shingles from the Weatherbest line. A grass lawn with a sidewalk in the center, some small bushes and shrubs and a gravel driveway in the foreground are among the landscaping. At the left in a blue field with a white border is a description of the house including the Weatherbest items used. On the reverse within a rectangular-shaped blue field is a floor plan of the two-story house. Aside from some very light edge wear and ink smearing on the reverse, the artifact is in good condition.
