Description

This image is a watercolor painting of the Holliday-Cary Home, also known as the Holliday-Carey House or the Cary-Pick House, in Auburn, Alabama done by Harold W. Eaton in 1933.

The painting shows the front exterior of the house with its doors, windows, shutters, trellises, second story columned porch, steps, and peaked roof surrounded by trees and landscaping. There is a woman in period dress at the foot of the steps. The house is placed within framing art showing its architectural features including the floor plan, various scales, and an interior wooden staircase. In the lower right corner, there is an Alabama Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture stamp with a handwritten inscription "2nd Medal" and the artist's information block which reads: "Harold W.
