American Gothic

I was unable to be out at IRM last weekend, due to a death in my wife's family.  But on the way back from the funeral in Denver, I managed to find this picture at an antique store in Des Moines:


The only identification is "Streetcar photograph".  Streetcar, bah!  It's obviously one of the Fort Dodge Des Moines and Southern's big Niles combines, rebuilt with arched roof and squared-off upper sash.  I just wish I knew the photographer, and what the occasion was -- honeymoon?  Anniversary?  First visit to the big city?  Your guess is as good as mine!

  1. Almost looks like American Gothic doesn't it? My sympathy to you on the death in your family Randall.
