Description

Although this postcard was published sometime in or after 1907, the image is much earlier -- probably in the early 1870s judging from the size of the trees lining the street that the Shakers planted in the late 1860s. The number "496" is included in the title line for this postcard but has not yet been connected to a particular series of photographs.
