Unnumbered plate from Shakers & Kirtland by Louis Baus showing a north view of George Mighton's feed mill, sawmill, and cider mill on the east side of Warrensville Center Road. The Warrensville Methodist Episcopal Church is visible in the background on the left, and the Warrensville vault is visible in the background on the right. Handwritten note in the page margin indicates that the donor retained plates 708 and 709. As a result, plate 082.1931 Bau.708 and this unnumbered plate were assigned numbers 708 and 709. The page that originally held plates 708 and 709 likely contained the descriptions for 082.1931 Bau.708 and 082.1931 Bau.709, which explains why the description below does not correspond to this plate. Baus description: "Looking west on Harvard Rd. the Pierce ice house appear in the foreground, and at top right, the farm house of Boardman Pearse at the s.w. corner of Independence Rd., now occupied by the office and buildings of the street car line. At left the old brick school and meeting house, where James A. Garfield often visited and preached an occasional sermon."Photograph Details
