A Look at the House from American Gothic & Dalí’s Disney Connection

🏡 Did you know the American Gothic house is real? The Dibble House in Eldon, Iowa, featured in Grant Wood’s famous painting, still stands today! Though it needed some repairs in 2005, it has since been restored to match its 1930 look—and you can actually visit and tour it!

🎨 And here’s a duo you might not expect—Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí! Despite their vastly different styles, they were close friends who worked together on an animated short film, Destino, which was released decades later. This 1957 photo captures Walt visiting Dalí in Spain—a meeting of two creative legends.
