The inspiration for "American Gothic" was a small White House located in Eldon, Iowa. Grant Wood discovered this house in August 1930. While visiting Eldon, he drew a sketch of the house and of his idea for the painting.

However, the actual painting of "American Gothic" was completed in his studio at 5 Turner Alley in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
