Lindstrom, who taught at USU for 27 years, depicts a style of home commonly seen in Logan. While tidy and painted a cheery blue, the house is distanced from the viewer by a series of impediments including a power pole and the raised railroad. Furthermore, we are not able to see the welcoming front facade of the home but are restricted to a profile view. The lack of a horizon line or human figures adds to the sense of loneliness. Is this a cozy family home, or a place recently abandoned? In either case, it seems to evoke old admonitions about inhabiting the “wrong side of the tracks.”
