Shaker East Family Sewing Shop

BIO: This is a view of the East Family Sewing Shop in Shaker Village, Pleasant Hill, Kentucky.

The bright yellow paint stands out in sharp contrast to the nearly cloudless deep blue sky. 

This building was constructed in 1855. 

It was the center for sewing, spinning and weaving. 

Hundreds of silk worms were raised on the 2nd floor from which silk thread was harvested.
