The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 5 -The Wissahickon
Page 19 contains two photographs:
(a, top) This photograph is contained on printed "stock" paper. The heading above the photograph reads: "The German Sectarians of Pennsylvania". The label underneath the photograph reads: "The Monastery On The Wissahickon, May, 1899 - View from Northeast, See Page 285". The photograph shows mostly a side view of the Monastery building encompassed on two sides by a raised stone wall and steps leading down to sloping ground. The smaller building attached to the larger Monastery structure proper is in an obvious state of disrepair with a sloping roofline in decay. A figure can be seen traversing the steps.
(b, bottom) This photograph is undated and shows the Monastery structure likely from the front view with the signature porch and columns. To the left, the structure extends only at the first story level. Wash can be seen hanging on a closeline at the fat left of the photograph.Collection
