Gladioli, 1876
Claude Monet (French, 1840 – 1926)
Dimensions Framed: 28 ¾ x 39 ¼ in.

For the questions with windows, consider only the side of the building with the art and count “window openings”, not panes of glass

a = Artwork 1 (N 42° 05.041 W 083° 40.828) – Number of Windows to the right of art (both floors) Post-art clue: total windows on North side of building minus 2
b = Artwork 3 (N 42° 05.114 W 083° 40.983) – Number of Windows on second floor of West side of building
c = Artwork 6 (N 42° 04.914 W 083° 41.020) – Number of letters in the month the nearby Bradford Pear Tree was dedicated
d = same as c
e = Artwork 4 (N 42° 05.011 W 083° 41.024) – Number of Windows on South side of building
f = Artwork 7 (N 42° 04.899 W 083° 41.094) – Last digit of year on nearby plaque, The Power Plant (Circa xxxx)
g = Artwork 5 (N 42° 04.942 W 083° 41.038) – Second to last digit of phone number on nearby bridge
h = Artwork 2 (N 42° 05.075 W 083° 40.928) – Number of Windows on second floor of East side of building
