A repeated image by Moses, the Checkered House was a landmark near Cambridge, New York that the artist remembered from her youth. She recalled “The Checkered House is old…It was the Headquarters of General Baum in the revolution war, and afterwards he used it as a hospital, then it was a stopping place for the stage, where they changed horses every two miles, oh we traveled fast those days.” (O. Kallir, Grandma Moses, New York, 1973, p. 68)

In this charming depiction she paints a bustling scene with several rushing horse-drawn carriages. When asked how she was able to create a new composition for each depiction of the Checkered House, Moses said that she visualized the painting as if she was about to paint it as framed through her window.
