American Folk Art Buildings
architectural imagination and storied places rendered small
TYPES
Two from Schuylkill
Extraordinary imagination, confidence, and skill --
with Pennsylvania folk art coloration and sensibility.
Written on bottom of the larger:
Schuylkill Co Almshouse
Schuylkill Haven Pa
Perhaps made by a resident of the Schuylkill Almshouse and Sanitarium
and Insane Asylum, largely demolished by 2010.
The larger, 23" high, was found in Pennsylvania in 2003. The second came from Connecticut in 2021. Early 20th century.
