Description
A group of North Family Shakers posing on the little hill between the road leading past the west end of the Second Dwelling (1835) and the hedge planted to keep the road dust off of the Wood House/Wash House drying yard. For identification of individuals in this group photograph see: The Shaker Image (Pearson, et. al.) 2d ed., 3d printing, 1996, p. 160, photograph 178. One of the digital copies of this photograph has the names of the Shakers in the image overlaid. The image was created by James E. West. It is view number 20 in his, "Views of North Family Shakers at Mt. Lebanon, New York," and probably made around 1902. Victoria and Helen Park, pictured in the photograph, came to live at the North Family in 1901 and Sister Ruth Barry, also pictured, died in 1903.
