Description: Church Family, from the West, Canterbury NH Written in pencil on the back are two separate picture identifications; each one is written in a different hand. On the front right edge of the card is printed "No. Shaker Village, Canterbury." No number is included, nor is a picture identification given there. Looking across the street, from the Office, or West, side of the street, at a slight southeastern perspective, a board fence and stone gate posts are seen. Sapling maple trees, almost leafless, and thereby almost invisible, are in front of the fence. With his arm and hand extended to the gate post, a man stands facing the camera. Another person is walking up the stone walkway toward the C F dwelling. To the right of the gate, and behind the fence, stands the infirmary. Other houses on the right side do not appear to be those extant in 2004. At the top of the picture is the Church Family dwelling. On the left side of the picture, and moving toward the C. F. dwelling, can be seen the corner of carriage house, brethren's shop and creamery; however indistinguishable they appear in this photograph.
