Description

Plate 10 from from Shakers & Kirtland by Louis Baus showing a northeast view of the Center Family's cheese house behind the Center Family house on Lee Road. The image, specifically the cheese house, shows evidence of negative retouching, a common 19th-century practice in which details were added, removed, or obscured directly on the glass plate negative using pencil, ink, or scratching techniques. Baus description: "A closer view of the cheese house back of the dwelling. View shows n.e. sides. Here the milk was brought and cheese made."
