Description

This interior photograph of one of the workshops in the Brick Brethren's Workshop (1827) at the Church Family, Mount Lebanon, NY, includes a stove with an additional hinged opening in its top either for adding wood or for easy access to flame. On the extreme right is part of a Gordon-style foot-treadle platten printing press. The marble sink was probably commercially made and is similar to others found at Mount Lebanon. While this photograph was made by William F. Winter whose other photographs of this building are found in the collection of the Historic American Buildings Survey dated in the 1920s, this image was not included in that collection but likely dates from the same time. In the 1930s this building was converted to a dormitory for the newly founded Lebanon School (now Darrow School).
