Description
Summary:This image is a watercolor painting of the McElhaney House in Auburn, Alabama done by C.L. Hendrick in 1933. The house was built in 1844. The painting shows the front exterior of the house with its doors, windows, balcony, railings, columned porch, steps, and sloping roof surrounded by trees and landscaping. There is a woman in period dress standing by the door. The house is placed within framing art showing its architectural features including scales and a close-up of the columns and the molding under the roof. In the lower right corner, there is an Alabama Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture stamp with the handwritten inscription "1st Hon. Mention"? and the artist's information block which reads: "C.L. Hendrick, API, Arch Dis-476." The painting is in fair condition and is encapsulated.
