Description: Looking west from the Church Family settlement on the east side of the road, the picture shows the unpaved road and Trustees' Office. Beginning to the left of the Office, a board fence runs upwards to just past the first window. At that point, the fence becomes a hitching rail mounted on stone posts. Except for breaks in the rail for passage into the two front doors of the office, the rails runs the length of the Office. A Shaker man walks up the road. Several Shaker men stand in and around the right entrance to the Office.

Description: Looking west from the center of the Church Family buildings the Trustees' Office is seen. Both office doors are open. In the doorway on the left, two Shaker sisters are visible. Above the doorway on the right is the office sign. Inside the door, a hat and jacket hang on a peg rail. A buckboard and a carriage, with Shakers, are in front of the Office. For each vehicle, a man holds the reins of the horses, as the appointed driver for the group. A Shaker brother stands in front of a board fence, which extends from the first window on the left side of the house and down the hill. A building to the right of the Office, as well as the steps to the carriage mounting platform, can be seen.
