Lovely video before the tour of the studio. This man did a lot of things! The studio tour was informative and descriptive of the transition/creativeness of making the loft into a livable space.

Grant Wood's Cedar Rapids studio is the second floor of a late 19th century carriage house. The modest red brick and wood building sits next to a large, elegant mansion that once housed one of Cedar Rapids' most prominent families. It was in the Studio that Grant Wood painted one of his most famous works of art, American Gothic-a work that was shown at and purchased by the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930 for $300.

Made a visit a few years ago and recommend. It's small but very informative. Truly enjoyed the upstairs and how the chaperone provided a wonderful account of Wood's life.
