The Foursquare-2

The almost archetypical small town Midwest America house, here seen in Mayville, Wisconsin. The houses are generally square, about 30 feet on a side, and contain four main rooms on each floor, hence "Foursquare". The photo was taken in December of 2014 with a Pentax 6x7 MLU medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade Classic FB Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.
