On a recent return trip from Eastern Iowa, I discovered this! The house in the background of Grant Wood's "American Gothic" painting. The house was sitting quietly alone under the street light... no one was home.

Wicked cool.

I hope you broke into the house and tried on their little American Gothic outfits.
