2000.48.2.8Description
Color: Green; White
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 Elyria, Ohio, which is a Colonial-style dwelling, featuring wood siding; shuttered windows; a brick foundation, a one-story projecting room at the left and a longer steeply-descending roof line in the back than the front. Both the roof, in a dark green, and the white siding consist of materials from the Weatherbest line. A grass lawn with a sidewalk in the center, some small bushes and shrubs and large, mature trees in the background surround the house. 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, the artifact is in good condition.
