Drawing of the Grainger Home

Drawing of the Grainger home, on Pontiac Road, Grand Rapids, MI. Betty Grainger Merizon's childhood home. The first time the artist ever saw his wife to be was while sitting in front of the house making a drawing to sell to the owners. Betty used to say that she was peeking around the curtains looking at the strange boy drawing her house. Mr. Grainger purchased the drawing for a very small amount. In those days Merizon would go to the East Grand Rapids area and ask homeowners if they would be interested in having their home drawn.

Signed Armand Merizon in the lower right corner. Robert Grainger in the left corner.
