Plate 25 from from Shakers & Kirtland by Louis Baus showing the garden and east view of the Center Family meeting house along Lee Road. The small building on the right is allegedly the first meeting house. The image 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: "[Plate 25] Garden and east side (rear) of meeting looking toward Lee Rd. At the right probably the first church built in 1826; and beyond this the roof of middle family house. At left a part of the wash house can be seen. Lower photo. no. 26 [Plate 26], closer view of small building."Photograph Details
