Sepia tone photo 6 3/8"h x 9 7/8"w of Adam T. Wible's blacksmith shop in Avenue, Md. The shop was a two story dark building with a large shed roof addition on the left. Four large double hung windows are visible on the second floor of the shop. An inside end chimney is at a rakish angle on the back corner. There was a tall set of stairs to a large door on the second floor with two planks to provide a "road" for vehicles to be pushed up to the top. It was a very steep slope. There are several two wheeled carts sitting in the yard. A man was standing in the shed door, Mr. Wible was standing on the stairs, and another man was on the right . In the peak of the wall on the gable end it said "Adam T. Wible," under that something illegible and under that "Blacksm." To the right of the shop was a small white house with a dark gable roof and a shed roof porch on the gable end . There were barrels and boxes piled all around the house. A tree shaded the porch and another shaded the shop. A tree branch was faintly visible over the scene. Mr. Wible wrote a column for the St. Mary's Beacon under the pen name "Gabriel."
