Pictured is a continuation of Mears Cottage. As we learn from a 1911 report in Scarlet and Black, the Grinnell College newspaper, Mears Cottage was commonly known as the “Shack” and its recurring residents “Old Girls” by Grinnell students and faculty. (View of Mears Cottage is continued in photo 34.)
Notice the sign in front of the building, which reads “1213 Sixth Avenue; Mears Cottage.” No mistaking we have the right place!
