Description

This image is a watercolor painting of the Frasier-Brown house, also known as Noble Hall or Frazier-Brown House or Frazer-Brown-Pearson House or Casey Homestead, in Auburn, Alabama done by an unknown student sometime between 1917 and 1942. The painting shows the front and side exterior of the house at an angle with its doors, windows, shutters, balcony, railings, columned porch, steps, and roof surrounded by trees and landscaping. There is a woman on the porch, a man on horseback, and people on the grounds in period costume. The house and grounds are placed within framing art showing its architectural features including columns, a corner of the roof, a wooden staircase and iron railings. Floor plans and the interior of the house are shown within the framing art. There is an Alabama Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture stamp and the handwritten inscription "2nd Medal" in the lower right corner. The painting is in fair condition with minor wear on the edges and is encapsulated.
