I dislike the building. I photographed it for the purpose of casting negative judgment upon the people of 1965, the year it was built.

Whether the word "ranch" is being applied to a livestock grazing operation, a salad dressing, a brothel, or a one-story house, it reminds us every time: U.S. anglophones are driven to find the one word that means everything, the perfect homonym, in aversion to tyrannies of one-concept-per-word.

In downtown Ottumwa, Iowa, on October 27th, 2020, was a Wells Fargo bank branch at the northeast corner of West 2nd Street and South Marion Street.

The building was built in 1966 and was formerly a Norwest Bank branch. Based on its design (with a drive-through), I am confident the building has always been a bank branch, but I do not know what the bank's name was in 1966.

It delights all who see it, and it must be historically preserved immediately. A façade of white brick veneer hosts a collection of comically repulsive "ticks" and "moles" in pigmented concrete.

The property record for the building says it was built in 1948, but we know the hilarious façade is from later in its history.
