Ottumwa, Iowa 52501
(Photos)
Representing 1949 in this month's architecture pageant is a former A&P Supermarket in Ottumwa, Iowa.
An 18-window arcade was an announcement to the Iowans of 1966 that the U.S. commercial banking industry continued to exist.
Here were yellow bricks from circa 1950 and window awnings from circa 2020, at the former Medical Arts Building in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Ah the former Iowa Telephone Company building in Ottumwa, Iowa, erected circa 1904.
The building has steeply-pitched gables and was built in 1930 in the "English Cottage" style. In this picture it was a law office but it used to be a gas station.
Here in 2020 were a 19th-century commercial building and a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis.
From the 1890s came a building to a streetcorner in Ottumwa.
From 1924 came a façade of white terracotta to Ottumwa, Iowa: Ornate, Neoclassical.

Pokeweed in autumn, in a backalley cove in downtown Ottumwa.
In Ottumwa, Iowa, late one October were these ornamental maple trees, to decorate a strip between a parking lot and a sidewalk.
Among a railroad-industrial setting in smalltown Iowa, a vacant lot's clump of tall weedy trees is seen to inhabit a late-October gloom.
In downtown Ottumwa a lineup of utility poles was an occasion for a showy spectacle of five sets of double guywires with orange plastic covers.
Ah the Des Moines River, moving its water toward the Mississippi River. Ah the Jefferson Street Viaduct, built in 1936.
Here were a 48-year-old bridge and the Des Moines River, during a time of low water.
The people of Ottumwa, Iowa, have redesigned the Des Moines River to match their quirky specifications.
The view across the Des Moines River toward downtown Ottumwa is well-known to most Iowans.
In a storefront window was a flag-waving torso with a plastic houseplant for a head, balanced upon a yellow plastic crate.
Storefront window of downhome Christmas.
Delightful!
In Iowa, triangular notches in concrete blocks were arranged to express a lozenge pattern.
From the year 1982 we have inherited a circle of brown bricks on a wall of brown brick veneer.
A grid of brick-shaped tiles occurred, glossy black.
Brick wall of distinction.
A lobby!, a neomansard!, erected 1977.
