Description
Photograph of a woman in costume posing by a small gingham covered house at a Chamber of Commerce exhibit, ca.1930. A life-size model of a lightly colored house stands on a decoratively tiled floor in the center. The asymmetrical house droops low on the left while only slightly drooping on the right. The roof is covered in a checkered pattern while the front door and two windows are lined with a smaller version of the same pattern. A woman wearing a Swedish-style costume stands on a stool on the right with a large pallet in her left hand. On the left side of the wall, a mural of a hill side covered in gingham houses can be seen while the curve of the ceiling is visible above.
