Note: Description: Interior room shows four rows of Shaker armless "deacon" benches. On the opposite side of the room are a number of rocking chairs, of which only the one at the end appears to be Shaker. At the end of the room is a pianoforte and toward the center there appears to be a pump organ. Several oil lamps hang from the ceiling. A wall clock and some plant-type decorations adorn the wall behind the deacon benches. A built-in cupboard and draws are on the back wall.
Inscriptions: Photographs are mounted on a bright reddish-orange card. at the ends of which is photographer's identification. The back is blank, except for the handwritten, in pencil, picture identification and date. The card is somewhat soiled; the photographs are in good condition, but lack good contrast.
