Grandview Nick and Katherine Engelbert House Hollandale, Iowa County c. 1937-1961 Grandview is a museum and park space dedicated to educating and protecting folk art designed by Nick Engelbert. The site contains the residence and folk art environment of Nick, an Austrian immigrant who was self-taught, and his pieces were highlighted by the plantings of his wife, Katherine. The property contains 2 buildings, 1 structure, 1 site, and 23 concrete sculptures or tableaux that adorn the lawn between the house and State Highway 39. Several sculptures have been partially reconstructed due to exposure to the elements; they were repaired or reconstructed closely following Engelbert’s original design and materials. Today, Grandview stands as a good example of a vernacular landscape art environment from around 1937 to 1961. |
